C-Cassie told me to do it. Yeah, should be her you take this up with, really. Hey, how about you let me go, and I’ll just uhh, pass on a message, you know? Let her know you want to talk, yeah?”
Lexi quickly offers a silent prayer to The Foremother, and breathes a sigh of relief as Kanako holsters the gun. A bluff maybe. Yeah, no way she’d actually shoot her, right? She tilts her head to one side as Kanako withdraws the syringe.
“Compound what now? Mate, pills and powder, I’m fine with that, I’m fun that way. But I do not fuck with anything that comes from a needle. That’s the junkie shit!” Lexi struggles in her chair as Kanako approaches. “Get it away from me! My body is a temple, a beautiful, glorious, perfect temple! Stop!”
Lexi narrows her eyes. “Wait, what? Truth serum?”
Harmless. Well, maybe not depending on what the questions were. But definitely not worth the pain. Lexi stops squirming as Kanako injects her, then glares at her as she walks back toward the dufflebag. The drug needs a high heart rate to work, huh? With that nugget of information in mind, when Kanako turns back toward her, Lexi consciously regulates her breathing and attempts to remain calm.
