Dead Drop
"Here, I'll start it over," Jin said. "This happened this morning on the docks. There's no truck traffic into the city so we were dropping off crates of provisions for the town, as we'd arranged with the Camarilla envoy."
The video appeared to be body camera footage. The fisheye lens took a moment to get used to, but Liam was able to make out the sleeves of a uniform in the periphery. A marine, most likely. He was moving between two tall shipping crates, when suddenly a half-dozen people appeared, blocking his path. The man startled visibly, and held his ground. The camera swiveled around behind him briefly, revealing another half-dozen mooks blocking him in from the rear.
As they shuffled slowly towards him, he drew a pistol, but kept it lowered. "Don't come any closer!" he shouted. The mooks did not heed his words. A man in a Redwatch coat stepped into view behind them. His armband designated him a ghoul.
"The lords and masters of this city thank you for this tribute," the ghoul grandly proclaimed. "And as your keepers are no doubt planning how to take it from them, they have arranged this demonstration."
"Demonstration," the marine replied. "Look, we've delivered everyth-"
"Jericho," the ghoul said.
In an instant, the mooks all pulled small revolvers from their pockets, levelled them at the marine, and pulled the triggers. A chorus of dry clicks followed. The marine cried out in shock. His weapon whirled around, and he managed to sputter out a futile demand for them to drop their weapons, but it was scarcely heard over the increasingly discordant series of dry clicks.
Every mook fired on five empty chambers, and then raised the gun up to their own temples.
"N-no, don't-" the marine began, but the rest of his plea was drowned out by the reports of multiple gunshots. The sixth and final chamber - the one they saved for themselves - had been loaded. The mooks all crumpled in a pile around the soldier, with the plumes of their gunshot wounds hanging in the air like a cloud.
"Go report this to your superiors that interference will be met with larger reprisals," the ghoul said. The marine, his hand shaking, levelled his pistol at the ghoul. The ghoul scoffed, and turned his back, walking away with a complete lack of urgency. The marine shot him twice in the back of the head, and the video cut out shortly after.
