<strong>Name:</strong>Giga<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Giga's HMMWV<br/><strong>Summary:</strong>Chilling With Maria<br/><strong>Tagged:</strong>Maria<br/><br/>Giga was, in his own way, proud of Maria. He expected to have to force her to watch, maybe even prise her eyes open by force. But she watched almost all of it, turning away only at the end. It was a good show from the girl for her first time taking in the sight of the life and times of the Coyotes' raider party. It would probably not be the last time she would see someone get killed, but then, the future was a fickle, finicky thing that no one know and hold in their hands. Giga reached out and placed a hand on Maria's head. He gently stroked the red-headed girl's hair, smoothing out her tresses as he watched Big Tim walk away from the scene and order everyone to get ready to move on.<br/><br/><strong>"It doesn't happen often. Most of the time the slaves are well-behaved that it doesn't go this far."</strong>The big man said softly, looking at Maria with his blue eyes. Behind the mask he was smiling, but the mask only revealed the skull-like motif to the rest of the world.<strong>"But it's happened before, and if it has to, it'll happen again. This is the life you're in for now, little one. So be good, don't act out, and stick close to me."</strong>His touch lingered for a little longer as he worked his hand back to cup the back of her head and scruff of her neck, before slowly sliding off and away. Giga rose to his full height, and closed the passenger side door. He walked along in front of the HMMWV, and got in on the driver's side. The big man had the keys in the ignition, ready to start the beast up. He grasped the radio, and brought it to his mouth, flicking it on.<br/><br/><strong>"Giga to all points. Ready to embark."</strong>He said, then flicked the radio off, returning it to its nest.
