The Outcasts

Dorian

Dorian was supposed to be leaving for a trip but instead, Junior cancelled it for something else. Dorian was grateful that the trip was cancelled. She tried to look at the positives of leaving but could come up with more negatives in the end. Especially since last night, when a bookcase fell on top of her.

Junior helped unpack Dorian's things.

"You weren't looking forward to this trip, were you?" Junior would ask and Dorian would answer saying 'yes' every time.

"I think we should take a break and get breakfast with the crew. I need to make sure we're all on board with this job." Junior stopped and smiled at Dorian.

"Ask? You don't normally ask us. Why now?" Dorian inquired.

"It's extremely dangerous but worth a lot of money. Money that can pay off your indenture and bring you back to the crown. Or whatever you want." Junior answered, pure joy crossing her face.

Dorian chuckled and thought about it. "What do you mean by 'extremely dangerous'?" 

"You'll find out more during breakfast. We are getting french toast!" Junior smiled and walked out the room.

Dorian is always surprised when this childish side of Junior comes out. She keeps forgetting that Junior is the youngest of them all. Junior is only fifteen. A minor.

Dorian sighed and followed Junior out of her room.

They met up at a diner near the casino. Junior ordered french toast, of course, she has to feed the inner child somehow. Dorian ordered waffles, and Rose and Kay ordered eggs.

"So, I brought you all here for breakfast to discuss a new job. I'm not going to get into details here. Basically, its a life or death job, very dangerous but, we can be rich afterwards. You in?" Junior really briefly explained the job.

"I'm in." Rose was the first to speak. "I have to pay off student debt and help pay for my cousins funeral."

"I guess I'm in." Dorian spoke second.

"I'll join. I have nothing else to lose." Kay replied.

"Perfect!" Junior then proceeded to grab her french toast and bolt.

"Shit. Why do we always fall for this?" Kay swore.

"It's-"

"Not on you, Dorian. You always pay for everyone. I'll pay this time." Rose interrupted.

"Thanks Rose." Dorian smiled.
