5th Fight - Stage 5
[Barton hates the phone. But she doesn't know what else to do. There are some things that need to be said. Her voice is quiet, and as usual, monotone.]
I... don't know if I want to leave this place. I hate it, but back home I had nothing. All I had done for the last thirty-five years is look for the man who ruined my life, and I was running out of clues and options. I ran way from my family, I have no friends, no money, no home, no life, no emotions, no soul. Literally. Aries ripped it all right out of me.
And here in Mayfield I have all those things again, as weird as it is. Shit. This is so stupid. Oh. I guess it goes without sayin' that I'm a lot older than I look. I guess I'm fifty. Wait, fifty-one now.
[She almost leaves it at that. But before she hangs up:]
Right, forgot. One problem. I'm a Communist. I guess. If you want to arrest me, I guess I deserve it. But I won't go too willingly.
[If anyone does decide to come for her, Barton will be on her porch, sitting on the stairs, trusty hatchet sitting at her side.]
