"THANK YOU COME AGAIN."
The older man nods and places his bag on his walker as he slowly walks out of the station.
Today's been a slow day, maybe because it's a Sunday and not many travel.
"Next!"
I scan the items. Bleach, a kitchen knife, gardening gloves. I pause. Bleach? A kitchen knife? Gardening Gloves?
Now Im no detective but it doesn't take a genius to notice these odd items. Especially while paired together.
I look up at the man. Golden hair, sharp jawline, high cheekbones and a sharp nose.
"Miss me?" He asks.
My heart dropped.
"You need to leave."
"Or what? Are you gonna call your police squad on me? Just ring me up tell me my total and I'll get going honey." A smirk falls on his face.
My jaw clenched and I suck my teeth.
"$63.44"
His smirk drops.
"Seriously?"
"What cant afford it?"
"Quite the opposite actually. Just a bit shocked that 3 items cost that much."
"3 murder items" I clarify
"I do gardening, need to practice on some cooking and well how can you cook in a dirty kitchen?" He gestures to the bleach on that last sentence.
Touché.
"$31.72."
"Well I thought it was $63.44?"
"I doubled it."
"Mmm." He opens up his wallet and pulls out a $100 bill. "Keep the change."
He then grabs all three of his items without even getting a bag and walked out.
"Hold on! Sir you forgot your bag!"
He didn't look back, he just kept walking.
"Keep the $100 and just take the total out of your pocket Chloe. And I swear if he does some stupid shit like that again tell him that the owner said for him to pay the exact amount." My manager speaks up.
"Right.." I said as I stuffed the $100 into my pocket.
"Next!"

"HOLD ON, SO YOU WENT TO THE POLICE AND NOBODY DID ANYTHING?"
"Yes! I even showed them the amount of flowers he's sending me! I dont feel safe anywhere anymore!"
"Damn Chlo you're kinda fucked." Zoei speaks up.
After telling them that I couldn't make it to our previous day out, they found a day to reschedule. They're both wearing clothes that are way more expensive than mine. But I dont mind, because I still think I look nice.
"Chloe have you ever thought of maybe moving?" Adryenne ask.
"And let him win? No way."
"Okay well maybe dont move but what about just, staying at my place for a few nights? Til you feel more comfortable?"
"No, I dont wanna invade your privacy."
"How bout moving back in with your mom?" Zoei suggest.
"Ew no, her and my dad go at it like every night and she tells me about it too."
"So you're kinda in a rock and a hard place?" Adryenne says.
"What about my place?" Zoei suggest.
"Would LaMelo mind?"
"He wouldn't even notice." I take note of the flash of disappointment on her face but choose not to question it. Their marriage is none of my business.
"Okay, so how about tomorrow after work ill pack my bags and be at your place?"
"Sounds fine!" She nodded with a smile.
"Okay great now that thats sorted, let me tell you guys about me and Rhea." Adryenne starts up.
Rhea is her patient, but as of recently she's mentioned their relationship is changing.
I take in a deep breath and tune my friends out as my phone pings. A text message.
"Dont even think about moving into your friend's house baby."
I turn around to look behind me
How the fuck did he find that out?
