The Wrongfully Accused - Vi x Fem OC/Reader (Arcane:LoL)

Chapter 17

After entering the refectory, Vi and Dina headed to the queue, grabbing their trays as they did. Dina tried so hard to not act suspicious or guilty, but Vi seemed to not care, this was just about the money. What they had to do to earn that had been forgotten since it was so unimportant.

Once the pair had grabbed their food, they took a spot at an empty table in the corner of the room, trying not to attract any unwanted attention. Vi began digging into her food, desperate for the calories in hopes it would stop her hands from trembling after using a lot of energy on the job. Dina didn't even bother touching her food, though. She couldn't escape the feeling of guilt no matter how many times she told herself the guy was going to hurt Vi, she had done so much damage that his face was barely recognisable, and that made her feel sick.

Vi noticed that Dina wasn't eating, and when she looked at her cellmate, her eyes showed nothing but worry.
"Did he hurt you?"
She asked, when Dina didn't answer, Vi reached out, placing her hand on Dina's as it rested on the tabletop. Dina finally looked up and shook her head, but she was extremely pale.
"It's a stressful situation. I don't like doing it either but we need to do what we have to. This is how we get by"
She explained
"I understand we need to do this, its us or them. I just need to get used to it"
Dina responded before moving the hand that was laid on the tabletop so that she could hold Vi's own bloody hand.
"Us? Are we a team now?"
Vi smiled
"I thought that was obvious when I punched you and didn't get murdered for it"
Dina joked.

The smile on Dina's face told Vi that she was feeling better already, all it took was a little distraction. She didn't see Dina as weak for her reaction after the job, if anything it made her admire who Dina was. She was kind-hearted, which wasn't something you saw often in prison, she didn't deserve to be here. Dina picked up her fork and began eating, although slowly as the food tasted worse than usual today. Vi retracted her hand from Dina's grip so she could eat her own food and hide her hands from the eyes of the other inmates. There was no telling who could rat them out.

After eating their food, the cellmates sat there and relaxed for a second, enjoying their time outside of their cell before they had to go back, until Vi realised she had something to do.
"Come on, we're going to the comissary"
Vi said, standing up and grabbing her tray, Dina copied her actions and followed her out of the refectory, putting the trays away as they walked.

After arriving at the comissary, there was a small queue, but this didn't phase Vi. She cut to the front of the queue, pushing the person who was getting served out of the way.
"Hey, there's a queue, jackass"
He complained
"Then do something about it"
She challenged him, when she stood to face him, her knuckles showing, he raised his hands in surrender, muttering apologies as he retreated to the back of the queue.

Since that was taken care of, Vi turned attention to the C.O that sat in the comissary.
"I need to see my transactions"
Vi said in a hushed tone, the C.O nodded before typing into a computer and turning the screen to face Vi. There was a transaction at around midday, and it consisted of a rather hefty sum of money, and Dina already knew it was from the job they had not long done.
"I need you to put half of today's transaction into her account"
She ordered, pointing at Dina. It was like she had some sort of authority over the C.O, until Dina realised that's exactly what it is, she must have done several jobs for him.

The C.O looked between Dina and Vi in confusion, this must have been the first time she's ever wanted this done.
"What? Why?"
He questioned, baffled.
"I'm helping a friend out, now hurry up, we haven't got all day"
She said, the C.O turned the screen back towards him and started working away, the clicking of his mouse and the typing of his keyboard filled Dina's ears as they waited
"It's in"
"Thanks, is there anything you need while we're here?"
Vi turned her attention to Dina. She looked through the window and in to the comissary, there were snacks and essentials on shelves, enough to make a prison stay somewhat pleasant, but there was nothing Dina was desperately in need of. Until her eyes landed on some bandages that sat in a multipack on the back shelves.
"Just those bandages, and that rubbing alcohol"
She requested, noticing the bottle sitting next to it. The C.O nodded and grabbed the requested items, sitting them in front of her before turning to type on the computer. But Vi stopped him, clearing her throat.
"This one's on me, take it from my account"
She said with a smile, instead of arguing as she would usually if someone tried to pay for her, she simply thanked Vi and grabbed the stuff before the two took off down the corridor, heading back to their cell.
