gem had just gotten into the small town and immediately felt a bit lost. it was a small town but everything seemed to be weirdly located to her. of course this could easily be her own type of catastrophe. gemma had never been good at directions. it felt like a blessing that she had actually found a convenience store. sadly, she didn’t have a lot of money to be spending on things like, ya know, food. so she had to use a coupon that she called the five finger discount.
she had snagged quite a few bags and drinks with little suspicion before she turned the corner of the isle with her arm holding her bag open as she shoveled junk food inside. there she was left face to face with someone who had just witnessed her shoplifting. sucking in a breath from her teeth she shook her head. “yeah, this is uncomfortable.” she acknowledged. “but hey, if you don’t say anything maybe we can work something out?” the familiar hinted to a bribe as she pulled another bag of chips from her messenger bag and slowly started to hand it to the person in front of her. “eh? deal?”
