Meeting the Puritan

After taking care of Viktor and leaving him to the care of Mitch, I was gonna walk on to my job at Tamim's Food Palace. Of course, with my luck, it started to rain just as I stepped out of the building.  As I turned to go back and grab an umbrella, I saw this pale. depressed looking girl mushing her face up against a window. I was like dafuq this bih doing? She looked like she might be dead or something, so I tapped on the window. I startled her, and she stared at me. "Are you okay?" I shouted through the window. She gave me a disgruntled and slightly rude look and then drew her curtains. I mean, what should I expect? Everybody is this godforsaken town has no sense of politeness or ethics. Shaking my head, I opened the door and started to walk back to the elevator to go back to my room. To my surprise, she burst out her room on my way there. "Why'd you tap on my window?" She demanded. "You looked half-dead and depressed. I was asking if you were okay." I reply, honestly having enough of this girl's attitude. Who did she think she was? I was about to bite her head off when she sad, "I appreciate that. Everybody around her seems to have lost all since of morality. They are full of sin and impurity." I was like, okay? She must be a Puritan or sum shit. "Uh, no problem." I stammered. If I haven't made it clear, this girl appeared and seemed bat shit crazy. I start mashing the elevator button when she asks me for my name. "Its Bruce," I reply, desperate for this damn elevator to get to the ground floor already. "I'm Sonora Ecko." "Uh, okay, nice to meet you." The elevator finally dings, I slip in, and try to discreetly press the door close button. Too late, she slips in. Goddammit. She starts talking about her dead sisters or something, and I try my best to tune her out. This is what I get for trying to be a good Samaritan. The elevator door opens, and i start to speed walk to my room. Of course she follows. I unlock my door, barely hearing the commotion on the other side, and open it up to Viktor smashing everything in the room i freeze. He spins around, yells "Commie scum!", and swings at me. Me, with reflexes like a cat at this point, duck, so he goes right over my head. However, unfortunately Ms. Puritan did not follow. Viktor's fist connects with her head, and she's out before she hits thew ground. Mitch finally emerges from the restroom, covers Viktor's face with another chloroform covered rag, and it's all over. I drag Puritan lady into the room, and sigh. It isn't even 9 a.m. yet, and I'm late to work.
