Selina glared at the red-head, praying that her plan
had worked, that she was home free, that she could finally get away
from this weirdo. Success was key. One second she was against the rail,
next she was ALMOST crashing to the ground, attempting to steady herself
on the dirt ground. Her ankle throbbed; did I roll it? Another angry look was
shot at the stranger, till the leather wallet landed before her feet.
The girl scrambled to pick it up. Whatever mental
monologue was running through that dude’s head saved her ASS, and
she was partially grateful that this guy was so PSYCHO. Tarnished nails scratched gravel ridden material, grimy phalanges ripped open the commodity. EMPTY. Breath caught in throat. There were no credit cards, no bills. She
bent open various pockets till her curiosity came across a white corner -- a
mystery item. Selina whipped it out of the wallet, stomach practically aching
for the sweet sight of MONEY.
It was a joker card -- black and white.
Selina looked up at the man with bewilderment. She felt
anger rise in her chest, surprise in her eyes, blood boiling. She had almost
died for some shit piece of pseudo-leather and a joker card? He HAD money, she knew it -- nice coat, nice shoes. Those things didn't pay for themselves. Selina had been PLAYED and she HATED it.
❝ Is this some kind of SICK JOKE? ❞
