We arrived at a city near the eastern coast, it was night time because of how long the trip was. I can't lie, I felt like throwing up in that heli. One because of the constant swaying from side to side and second because of the horrible smell climbing up from the net below us.
Once near ground, some people untied the Kaiju and put it on a big truck.
The driver of the heli told me to get in the truck with them and participate to the disection and the auction.
I was scared.
The trip was long.
It smelled, it was dark and it I was scared.
Another truck was near us, I hear wimping noises from inside the truck, the same from the kaiju … “we” hunted earlier.
I think there was still an alive one inside that truck, but it drove away onto another road.
Fortunately I didn't participate to the “disection” or do I want to know what it was, but after another long ride and some secret underground tunnels, we arrived at an underground black market auction house.
They sent me in, while they unloaded the fur and spines we were transporting into the storage of the auction.
I sat down at one of the tables, visibly scared.
The auction started. First they brought in various artifacts, I naturally didn't want to buy anything so I just stayed sitting, staring and waiting it to end.
Then, they brought out the fur of that kaiju…
I…
The sold price was 2 and a half million…
For who knows how many kilograms of fur…
But then the spines… 3 million…
6 spines.
I wanted to get out and while standing up walking to the exit, I heared the same wimper from that truck I saw earlier.
They brought in an alive kaiju, sleeping and in an electric cage, but alive.
They bids came flying like birds trying to catch a bug.
3 million…
6 million…
13 million…
It kept on rising until finally it settled on 21 million.
But before the kaiju was took off the stage, a hell lot of Inkversian police and anti-poacher authorities came busting in.
The auction's guards and the poachers shot first, I hid under a table hoping that I wouldn't get hit.
Many of the poachers were killed, some arrested, only my friend got away.
The anti-poacher authorities brought the cage outside and and liberated the kaiju, which quickly hopped away.
I sighed, reliefed.
I walked and walked, didn't know where to go until I heard a familiar voice.
“Hello Johnny”
I turned around to see my friend holding a gun at me.
“You called them didn't you? I gave you a job with a very good pay and you betray me like this?!”
