Daigo heard Skinny Pete's shout and his eyes lit up.
There's a chance!
He practically bounced on his heels and yelled back, "You got it! I'll arrange it right away!"
He'd barely finished speaking when his whole body suddenly locked up.
Then he toppled over like a board, stiff and straight, and hit the ground with a dull thud.
"???"
Everyone just stared.
"What the hell was that?" Big Mike blurted.
Ethan's gaze slid sideways, half-amused, straight to Mia. "Why'd you kill him?"
Mia ducked her head, suddenly shy. "Captain… I thought he had to be plotting something. Trying to mess with our unity, so I…"
"…."
"Mia, you're overthinking it," Big Mike said, looking like the world's most upstanding citizen.
"Seriously," Skinny Pete chimed in, nodding hard.
"I think Mia did the right thing," Emily sniffed. "The second you idiots heard 'porn stars,' your eyes started glowing. Hmph. Good. Now you don't get to see anything."
Ethan sighed and shook his head. "Yeah… what a waste."
