♡ for @violatile ,
duffle bag tucked tightly in her arms, odette lets out a huff as she drops it down on the table, nearly collapsing with it. " i'm TELLING you — the guy was 𝚊 𝚌𝚘𝚖𝚙𝚕𝚎𝚝𝚎 𝚜𝚝𝚛𝚊𝚗𝚐𝚎𝚛, he just walked up and gave me the bag. " unzipping it, stacks and stacks of kruge flood out and she reaches out, shoving it all back in. from the looks of it, 𝗶𝘁 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗻𝗲𝘄 but she hadn’t a clue ᴡʜᴇʀᴇ it had come from or WHO it belonged to, there wasn’t a 𝓈𝒾𝓃𝑔𝓁𝑒 indication. even if he were running from the stadwatch or trying to frame her for a crime she didn’t commit, there would be no way to track where the money had come from. it would be absurd to part with it in such a way.
“ it MUST be stolen. ” it’s the only reasonable conclusion. but 𝚘𝚍𝚎𝚝𝚝𝚎 𝚑𝚊𝚍 𝚗𝚘 𝚚𝚞𝚊𝚕𝚖𝚜 about holding on to someone else’s money. “ the man who gave it to me had a tattoo, dime lion. ” she’d done work for them before, but she’d done work for 𝐀𝐋𝐋 the major gangs before and she’d completed no job that would entitle her to 𝙨𝙪𝙘𝙝 𝙖 𝙡𝙖𝙧𝙜𝙚 𝙖𝙢𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙩. it wasn’t payment. she smirks, lifting a stack and running a manicured finger through it, “ i’m thinking we spend it all and plead ignorance when someone comes looking. ”
