Showing Clay Around

[cottoncandypink]

The door opens into a bustling TV news station. Nobody seems to even notice that Wilford has stepped out of the conference room with someone who doesn't belong. There's a heated argument about frogs taking place somewhere across the room, and just a general sense of chaos.

"You packing?" Wilford asks as he quickly checks his phone for the time.

Not that it matters. In the light, his black eye is more than obvious, and he won't be going in front of a camera until it clears up enough to cover with makeup.

Wilford waves the server away, sick of getting picked on.

"What, shooting me in the head?" he asks.

[psychowolf]

"I would probably break your neck." more his style. "If that's what you want. In the event of becoming like them." nodding in the direction of the 'business' men.

[cottoncandypink]

"Just don't fuck it up," Wilford says, probably joking, but maybe not. "You do it all the way, and you just get to lie there, feeling yourself slowly suffocating."

[psychowolf]

"I'm very experienced." he promises Wilford. "You wouldn't feel a thing." completely serious.

[cottoncandypink]

"Oh, good. I've had people fuck it up before, and it is not fun."

Then again, he's also had people fuck up shooting him in the head, so he can't really be surprised that breaking a neck would take a decent amount of skill.

[psychowolf]

"You've had your neck broken or you've seen other peoples neck broken before?"

And Clay might miss if he uses a firearm.

[cottoncandypink]

"Both, actually."

He says this casually, as if it's a perfectly normal topic of conversation.

[psychowolf]

Clay gives him a look that says INTERESTING and HOW?

[cottoncandypink]

Huh. Wilford would have thought after last week, everyone would have known his little secret.

Unless Security did jack shit all about Jim blowing him up out in the woods. Which, Wilford only now realises, is exactly what happened. Jim wasn't in jail a few days later when he brought the dog back.

"Were you around when some moron tried to blow up the forest?"

[psychowolf]

Clay heard the explosion but never learned the source of it. "I hear the explosion, I take it you were there."

[cottoncandypink]

"Some stupid fucker thought it would be funny to blow me up with a landmine or something."

Actually, in retrospect, it is kind of funny. Because honestly who uses a landmine? Wilford even laughs a little bit.

[psychowolf]

"A landmine?" because yeah that is strange.

Obviously Wilford is okay so there is no reason to ask.

[cottoncandypink]

Wilford shrugs. "Or something."

It was quite a bit bigger than a normal landmine, but who knows what else Jim rigged up along with it.

He didn't exactly survive that (he didn't survive it at all, actually), but it probably gets the point across.
