“There’s no money.” Catch throws Marcus, nose bloodied, on the ground in the middle of the storage room. Everyone’s there. Five guards rush in behind him with guns pointed at his back.   
   “Catch what the fuck!?” Kiki shouts, and runs to Marcus’ aid. Catch points a pistol at her, and she stops.
   “What the fuck is happening right now, Catch?” Jabber says as he stumbles towards him as well.
   “There’s no money. They can’t pay us, not one of us. He lied.” Catch spits on him.
   “What? There’s no- Marcus, why is he saying that?” Jabber asks urgently.
   Catch waves the gun around half-drunkenly. “I’ve been asking around these tenants ‘cause I knew something was fuckin’ up, the way they were acting. Come to find out there’s no fucking money!”
   Marcus is crying and pleading with them but words aren't fully forming.
   Kiki grabs Catch’s gun, punches him in the stomach, and forces him back. She pulls Marcus aside. “So what? So you just let these people die?”
   Sam shakes her head. “We stay.”
   “I- I don’t know,” Jabber stammers.
   “Amstrad.” Catch turns to him. “You and Jabber. Come on, let’s split.”
   Abandon your losses. You need money.
   Kiki scowls. “Amstrad, don’t.”
   Amstrad hesitates. “I need rent- I’ll get evicted if I miss my payment- I can’t. Marcus, is this true?”
   Marcus just nods. “I’m sorry I lied, I had to, I had to.”
   “Fuck. Fuck!” Amstrad cries.
   You must leave, for both your safety and mine. This force is over! Your friends are beaten!
   “I don’t know what to do!”
   Your human niceties cloud your mind, boy!
   “Amstrad.” Sam says.
   Amstrad looks up at her.
   “Be the person you want to be.”
   Jabber slams his hand on the table. “What the fuck does that mean, huh? How are we supposed to put our lives on the line for nothing! For- for the idea of being good people!”
   “Exactly!” Catch says.
   Kiki stands. “You idiots! It’s not the idea of being good people, it’s saving over a hundred families! They live here, they can’t protect themselves on their own, but we might be able to help! Without housing, they’re on the street, where they’ll be arrested and sent to labor camps! This isn’t about us!”
   “Not about us? Than where the fuck do we fit into this, if not when it’s literally up to us?” Catch yells at her.
   “We fit in right here, doing what’s right for the most people!” Kiki yells back.
   “Catch-” Amstrad interjects.
   Catch pays no heed. “You fucking hippie piece of shit-”
   “Catch.” he says louder.
   “I’ll fucking kill you myself if the jawbreakers don’t-”
   “CATCH!”
   “WHAT?”
   Amstrad points at the door. “Get the fuck out, and let us do this ourselves.”
   “No.”
   Amstrad shoves Catch towards the door and into the guards behind him. Catch comes back at Amstrad and tries to grab him by the neck, but stops when he sees Kiki, Sam, and Jabber all moving in to stop him. All instantly deciding to protect Amstrad against Catch.
   Catch spits.
   “Get out.” Amstrad repeats.
   Catch shakes his head and flees through the back door. When Amstrad turns around, everyone is looking at him. “Let’s get back to work.”
