Stage one :Hostility and Deceit

Illinois

Sneakers pounded against the sidewalk. I rose my head up and gazed at his dark sympathetic eyes.

" Hey, it's okay I'll pay half of the towing bill" uttered Oliver.

" Why?" I asked him" A deed for the day" he told me.

" It's not a loan?" I asked to be sure. He gave a nod.

" Write it" I said before we got back on his death ride to the towing company.

" A hundred and seventy five" counted the dispatcher. In a matter of minutes I approached Impossible to gawk in horror at her weary state.

The body was covered in dents , the front  tyres were slashed and somebody hurled something at the window.

" Ah what has he done to you?" I cried as I touched her. He's going to pay!

Troy's P.O.V.

We had just been served lunch and I decided to read the newspaper I found on the bench.

Since we were cramped in this cell it took me a while to notice that officer Tusks beckoned me to get my first and only  visit.

" Stewart, you got a visitor" he uttered against the murmurs.

I got out to be manhandled to the waiting room that was a minute away from the cell.

" Ah"

" Shut up" he snapped before he tossed me to the table were Nante was seated at.

She had a scowl on her face dead silent.

I thought this couldn't get more awkward but Nante proved me wrong.

"Bail?" I asked that made more lines run across her face.

So that's a no on bail!

" Can I ask why you're here?" I asked.

That seemed to have worked." To see you in jail and I think you know the other reason why I'm here" She answered.

" How is the truck"

"Great  she got a beating of a life time and guess what you're going to pay for the damages" she faked a grin.

Just as predicted!

" Now give me the keys to Impossible" she added as she rested back and kicked under the table.

" I don't have the keys!" I told her."You lost them!"she shrieked.

" No I didn't because I didn't take them" I answered.

" Listen here Lucifer it's bad enough you took Impossible and got her wrecked it's another to steal the keys and lie about" she blabbered.

" I am not lying and I didn't steal the keys" I told her.

" Yes you did" she answered as " I had to hot wire her and walk all the way to the hostel"she snapped.

" Maybe if you were careful then you wouldn't have been in that situation" I replied.

" No contact" Tusks butted in.

We  weren't that  close. Although, I did move a little to hear her hiss at me.

I got onto my seat after her " Just tell them to give me the keys...please" she uttered.
