She's a little afraid, and a little excited, and totally not even sure where this is going or what she's going to do. Is she really going to bang this guy in a stockroom, just like that, if it comes to it? It seems so spontaneous, so exciting and random that it takes her longer than it should to decide on probably not, even if he's got protection.
On the other hand, she's familiar enough to know what's up when she's being frisked, and now when she protests her true accent comes out, a blend of Valley Girl and upscale Toronto.
>"Hey man, what's the deal? You a plainclothes cop or something? You didn't even read me my rights!"She remembers being asked about her country of origin, and a realization goes off in her head.
>"Oh, you're with immigration! Hey, I'm here legally! Got my papers back in the dojo. I'm one of the wrestlers, they're gonna get me my P1 renewed long-term any second, as soon as the paperwork goes through!"She protests one more time when he takes her phone.
>"Hey, watch it! I don't have insurance on that thing! And I can't afford to replace it! Give it back!" (Andi's phone is the biggest piece of junk in the whole club. It's a second-hand Waipple yPhone 6, with a screen that's festooned with spiderweb cracks from being dropped countless times, a miserable joke of a battery life, and an outdated port for charging.)
She protests nervously as she goes in to meet with Cassie, not even sure to whom she's speaking yet.
>"Hey, I don't know if you're with immigration or the cops or what. But I didn't actually do anything, and I don't know anyone who did do anything, in order to rat on 'em. So I don't think I can help....."She stops when she gets a good look at Cassie Kade and recognizes her as one of the other wrestlers.
