"Please don't kill me!" he begs, eyes wide. "I can tell you things! All the stuff that Lane was up to -- a-and more! Just please don't kill me! I have a family, y-you know?"
The look that Pao-Lin shoots him as she strolls up to him with briefcase in hand is a strange but potent mix of teenage eyerolling and royal contempt.]
Yeah. So did a bunch of other NEXTs you guys killed. But you didn't seem to care about theirs, so I don't think I care about yours.
[And she slugs him in the face with the briefcase.
WHAM!
Mills topples over onto his side. His head looks...quite dislocated.
Pao-Lin frowns. She holds up the briefcase and peers at it.]
Ahhh, puk kai. I forgot there were hard drives in here. [She toes Mills' unconscious body, then glances at Ivan.] Take care of him. [Just because his neck is broken doesn't mean he still can't survive by the skin of his teeth.] I'll see what I can do about Lane.
