Chapter 273: Five seconds of fame
There wasn’t a t.v. in sight outside of the patient rooms, so Kellen offered up his phone as the sacrifice for everyone to look at as he pulled up what everyone was telling him to.
He didn’t have to search far. It was in the middle of trending on every website. Kellen understood why. It was streaming on official channels, and that only made Kellen frown more.
Someone had gone through the trouble to take over the news while it was playing live. It was obviously hostile, and Kellen’s gut churned as he stared down at the phone in his hand.
The image wasn’t clear, and Kellen knew that was intentional. Anyone who had taken over and fought through the back-end security of a news outlet clearly had enough skill or money to get a good camera. This was clearly to make a point.
It was filmed in an interrogation style, where the background was full on black, while a light was pointed on the single person talking. They were wearing a mask, which Kellen was only slightly disappointed in. He’d hoped that they’d be stupid enough to show themselves, but clearly that had a little bit of intelligence.
The mask was blank, a white non descript unpainted mask that you could pick up at any cheap store. Usually used for crafting, Kellen hated that they hadn’t painted it, and that it was something easy to get. Kellen knew it was intentional, and without even listening to the bastard sitting there in the mask, a full black suit, and sparkling silver hair pooling around his shoulders, Kellen wanted to punch his lights out.
It was a he. Kellen didn’t know how he was so sure, since they could have used a voice changer, but he was. This fucker was a male, and from their voice, they were pleased as punch.
Kellen was going to kill him.
"-like this. I’ve always wanted to, you know, but with everything going on, and how tight security is nowadays, I’ve had to be a bit more cautious. I’m sure some of you are completely confused about what I’m doing here, while others probably want to reach through their screens and strangle me." He giggled, and Kellen knew the man had to be smirking under his mask.
