Chapter Seven: Capitalism

(Team Corsair, week seven)

"I'm done in the bathroom," Fallon says.

"I feel like shit," Selene stomach growls on her bed.

Fallon: "You should eat something."

Selene: "That won't help me."

"It sure won't," Agatha enters.

"I can't go to work today," Selene crosses her fingers.

"You failed your drug test," Agatha frowns.

"I haven't seen her with anything," Fallon snaps her fingers.

"You've made a fool of me," Agatha steps forward.

Selene: "I'm not in the mood."

"You were in the mood for cocaine though," Agatha replies.

"I should go," Fallon exits.

"You tricked me," Selene says.

Agatha: "I'm the one who was tricked. Don't get ahead of yourself."

Selene: "Am I disqualified?"

Agatha: "It doesn't work like that."

Selene: "How does it work then?"

Agatha: "Give me the cocaine."

Selene: "Are you using too?"

Agatha: "Don't sass me."

Selene: "You weren't supposed to have drug tests back-to-back."

Agatha: "We can have drug test whenever we feel like it. It's your job to pass them."

Selene: "Just give me another chance."

Agatha: "I should send you back to Oasis."

Selene: "You can't tell me that I'm the first one to break the rules."

Agatha: "I never said that."

Selene: "What are you saying then? What's my punishment?"

Agatha: "I haven't told anyone else yet."

Selene: "You don't have to."

Agatha: "Give me the cocaine."

Selene takes it from under her mattress. "Peace?"

Agatha takes it. "How did you get this?"

Selene: "Someone gave it to me."

Agatha: "Who gave it to you?"

Dalton walks in.

Selene: "It doesn't matter."

Agatha: "This is above you. This isn't about you."

Selene: "Who is it about then?"

Agatha: "You let us down."

Selene: "This is all that I know."

Agatha: "Learn something knew that."

Selene: "I can't live without it."

"I knew that was missing money," Dalton says.

Selene: "Yeah, well I only took a hundred."

Dalton: "Don't you understand what's wrong with that?"

Selene: "Don't you understand that I need it?"

Agatha: "No, you need help."

Selene: "The cocaine does help me."

Agatha: "No, it hurts you. You're doing this to yourself."
