Amaya tucked away her PDA to head off and make preparations for Akihime’s journey to the countryside manor, needing to plan out her schedules and routines so she wouldn’t fall behind in her studies.
The shipping warehouse was huge, with blacked out windows and as far as the eye could see in the fairly lit building were large shipping crates, stacked halfway to the ceiling. A newly brought in shipping crate was being unloaded of its cargo, just another shipment of food, this time a few locally sourced products. The work was tedious, but easy for the most part, especially since most times, the food didn’t fight back.
“Keep moving!”
Quite a few of the men had guns either in hand or at their sides, shuffling off the human cattle from one container to the next.
There was a disturbance at the back of the line though, the sound of a struggle and one of the men yelling.
“‘said keep movin’!”
There was a solid thud followed by a cry of pain, a woman’s cry; she was the last one inside the carrier and refused to get out. She was still in her street clothes, only having recently been captured and shipped, so she had yet to be tagged and sanitized, and she wasn’t about to comply with such a thing. The man had smashed the butt of his gun into her face when she disobeyed, busting her nose and leaving a nasty gash over the bridge where it was surely broken.
