XXXO, Part 7 :: [Gunner + Words // Preston]

Fluttering up to the boy from Gunner's home, her last Word seems a little perplexed about why it's been sent here. It's not just because Preston is confusingly pretty, but even a note written on stripper cash feels suspiciously like something when duct taped to its leg. It's definitely not nothing. Even the bird knows the La Torre girl isn't a paradigm for emotions and this —

HHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNKKKKKKKKK.

— this rather suspect note is for him anyway. All the bird knows for sure is that it wants this green thing off its leg because maybe it's a money bomb or maybe it's smuggled drugs or maybe it's something too terrible for Words. It just wants to go home.

Can't everyone just go home?!
