The video starts with Sue's face in view, but it's not her usual smiling face. Instead, she looks tired and really unhappy. There's very little to distinguish where she is from the scenery (dingy pale yellow walls, fluorescent lighting), but in the background lots of shouting, arguments, crying and sirens can be heard.
Hey, so, I know that being a cop is hard and all, and everyone's human and everyone makes mistakes, buuut, you know, there's a line. And it's been crossed, here. Don't get me wrong, like, I was trying super hard to be patient and understanding, but it's been FIVE HOURS since Sora was taken, and the run-around we've been given is un-fucking-believable.
A pause.
Pardon my language.
The camera moves away from Sue's face, and as she turns it, there are glimpses of Lil and Milo - the latter nursing an injured face. They're sitting against the wall - at the police station, as it turns out. There are many people, all trying to get the attention a few very harried police officers, who are trying their best to keep order. Shin Kim is by far the most vociferous, hurling abuse and accusations - nothing violent or vulgar, but definitely on-the-mark and earning vehement agreement from others gathered there. Sue's voice continues to narrate.
Yeah, so, my best friend first gets kicked out of her NYU dorms. Where is she supposed to go? Who has that kind of money on a split second's notice? So of course she's staying with us. Right? Right!
But I guess they don't really account for 'guests' if their NIC cards say they're from Japan. Nevermind that she's never done anything wrong, is gainfully employed and fully legal to study and whatever.
There's a muffled comment off-screen from Milo, and the camera swings back around to look at him and Lil.
...okay, yeah, maybe we made a bit of a scene at the gym, but come on! It's just Sora! Oh! Hang on...
Mr. Kim and the cops come back into view, and the cop seems to have given in. He's holding his hands up in submission, and giving orders to a subordinate, who makes some notes and disappears in the back.
Oh man, are they finally getting them out?? It only took five hours and a whole freakin' run around. You'd think they'd take her to the local station, but nooo, that's already been filled up! Okay, so, how hard can it be to find out where two people are being held? Turns out, really hard --
Again, there's an off-screen comment - this time from Lil, reminding Sue that she hasn't talked about Nick yet.
Oh, yeah. Apparently they grabbed Nick, too, at some party. Seriously, do they take any excuse to lock someone up? Are they getting paid by the refugee or something? Is there a quota to fill?
Noise fills the mic as she exhales angrily. On screen, Shin is still shouting after the cop - "If there has been a hair touched on her head...!", etc. Finally, a door opens and Nick Langer and Sora Mori are led out. The former looks very disheveled and angry; Sora looks scared and relieved.
Finally!! Oh my god, guys, are you okay?
The video cuts out before she even finishes the syllable. |
