Things aren't looking so great, so after one last bender in the City, Spider wakes up in an alley with a splitting headache, and his face covered in dried vomit - not all of it his own. With both his filthy assistants dead, along with most of the people he thought he could count on in the City, he's giving up. Heading back to the country. Fuck this city. The Beast or The Smiler, whoever wins, the wretched fucks deserve him.
He wants to get the stink of bile off him, but the only liquid handy is the half-empty bottle of Smegma Vodka he didn't finish before he passed out, so he dumps it over his head, rubbing away the chunks.
Feeling slightly refreshed, and about to get moving, he hears a beep from his glasses - Lau Qi, co-founder of The Hole (the underground feedsite Spider had planned to use to expose the candidates once and for all) appears on the lens, looking excited.
"Spider, we're back online! I hacked through government's shutdown, and we can finally go public!." When she notices the defeated look in his eyes, her smile drops. "You... you did find something, right?"
"Yup. I found out we're fucked. I know you've been out of the loop, but everyone's dead - except Detective Newton - you've already got everything I know, and it's up to her if she wants to go on a suicide mission. I'm leaving."
He kills the call and starts to head out of the alley when he notices a kid - a filthy girl dressed in rags, no more than 10 or 11, standing at the entrance. She looks a bit scared as she twists her hands behind her back.
"Hey, mister! I can't find my dad! Can you help me?"
I don't have time for this shit. I've got to get out of the City. But he approaches her anyway, hoping to get rid of her quickly. When he's close, she pulls a hammer from behind her back and swings it up, hard, straight into his balls.
Spider collapses as The Beast steps up behind her and hands her a giant lollipop. "Good work, kiddo! I'll take it from here." The child skips away, licking at her candy.
"You thought I could let you leave? No. Every breath you take is a threat to me. Goodbye, Spider." He wraps his meaty hands around Spider's neck and squeezes. This is personal.
Spider is dead. The Beast mounts his head in his office, and The Smiler donates his body to the CPD cafeteria.
The Mafia/Candidates win!
Of course, only one of them can be president... one can only hope they end up killing each other.
