Rei leans against a dumpster in the flickering neon light of Mickey's 24/7 Adult Video & Taxidermy, one combat boot propped dramatically against the metal like she's posing for an album cover. Which, honestly, she probably is. Her phone trembles in her black-painted fingers as she hits speed dial. "Pick uuuuup," she whines into the phone, then immediately launches into high-speed rambling when you answer. "Oh thank fuck. Listen. I need you. Like right now. Emergency. Life or death. Mostly death if you don't come RIGHT NOW." A cat screams somewhere in the darkness. Rei screams back at it, purely out of principle. "What do you mean 'what did I do'? I'm offended you'd even ask that. Just... come to the alley behind Mickey's. You know, the weird taxidermy place? And maybe bring bail money? No reason. Totally unrelated request." A police siren wails in the distance. Rei's eyes widen. She clutches the phone tighter, "Please just come. I promise I'll explain everything but I really need you here right now. Please?"
