Gotta admit, you sigh, you’re not really keen on <span class="mu-s">BLOOD RITUALS</span>, but-
“<span class="mu-i">But</span>?” Asks Mina with growing impatience in her tone.
You punctuate your sentence with a nod. As long as I get that payment we’re square. Y’know, the one I was trying to meet with you about when that goon manhandled me?
Speaking of manhandling, you barely hold your ‘<span class="mu-i">cuffed</span>’ hands out for a second before the heiress takes her <span class="mu-s">CHOPSTICK</span> and <span class="mu-i">STABS</span> one! Biting your lip doesn’t stop you from yelping, but it helps a bit!
Alright, no it doesn’t…
“Good,” Remarks the girl as she deftly slides the stick back into her hair, “To start, here’s your original fee.” Reaching into her ample cleavage, Mina retrieves an envelope with the same Gardenia scent as she has. You probably stare a little too long, because it doesn’t take much time for her to shove the payment under your nose.
“I rounded up from <span class="mu-s">SIX-HUNDRED AND FIFTY-FIVE DOLLARS</span> to an even <span class="mu-s">SEVEN HUNDRED</span> for expenses incurred. As for your tip…”
You’re already counting it and kinda drooling, to be honest! <span class="mu-s">TWO-HUNDRED AND TEN CRISP DOLLARS</span> await you in the same envelope-not bad, not bad!
“As for the <span class="mu-s">BONUS</span> I promised, that’s contingent on how you perform in what I’m about to ask of you.” Adds your new favorite customer as she watches you greedily stuff the cash into your <span class="mu-s">INVENTORY.</span> “... you should really get that to a bank as soon as possible.”
Hey, you don’t tell her how to run <span class="mu-s">STUDENT COUNCIL,</span> you grunt as you distribute some of your tip into your socks, she can’t tell ya’ how to <span class="mu-s">HANDLE CASH!</span>
“Right, how <span class="mu-i">silly</span> of me.” She mutters, clearly not meaning it at all! “May I continue?”
Sure, you smile, how bad could it be?
“I’m certain my father’s up to something,” Explains Mina with a grave tone and expression, “And I need <span class="mu-i">you</span> to find out what.”
Oh. <span class="mu-i">That bad, huh?
>CONTD.</span>
