~Blink 182~

My life of crime had started with a handful of make up. The shoplifting a small thing really, in comparison to my most recent crimes. I sat in the lobby of the motel, watching Joker bark orders at his guys. I was a million miles away, thinking about all of my recent sins while I chewed my cuticles.

I followed the line in my head. The lipstick led to the delivery of the box. The box delivery led to Joker. Joker led to accomplice to murder. Accomplice led to assisted torture. Torture led to murder. I let out a strange giggle that thankfully only I heard.

Why wasn't all of this bothering me more. This should be bothering me. I should be riddled with guilt. Right? The taste of blood pulled me back from my thoughts. I had chewed a bit to far into my finger than I had meant to. I pinched the bleeding digit in my hand.

I stood from the small tabletop I sad been sitting on and moved into the kitchen to look for a bandage. I had to rummage through two different drawers before I found a small first aid kit. I washed my wound clean and wrapped it in a My Little Pony bandage that was in the kit. I looked at the Rainbow Dash on my finger and laughed again.

I cleaned my mess and turned to go back into the lobby. Most of the men had left, the only ones in the room was Joker and, of course, my least favorite goon. Handsy was waiting for Joker to get off of the phone.

I walked up to them and waited, and maybe tried to eavesdrop a little.

"I never doubted it." Joker said, as he smacked his lips. "Mmhm by the end of day." he hung up the phone and slid it into his pocket.

He looked up and noticed I was standing there. "Oh Princess, that was our buddy from the bar."

"Good news I hope?"

He laughed. "Paid in full."

He reached into his pants pocket and pulled out a slip of paper, handing it to his goon. "Take the goods here, then enjoy your evening."

The man left without a word. Joker waited until he was out of the door before he turned to face me.

"Let's have a night on the town."

I looked at him, "Doing what?" I asked.

"Causing some trouble."

"Sure, why not."

He smiled, a strange large smile, yellowed teeth showing. I shook my head and move to go to his room. I needed my keys so I could go home and get ready.

He followed me, just a few steps behind. I opened his door and stepped into the cold room. He closed the door and walked past me and fell back onto the bed. I grabbed my keys from the table and walked over to stand between his legs.

"I'm going to the apartment to get dressed."

I leaned down and kissed his red smeared face. I moved to stand up again and he grabbed my elbow, yanking me down. My full weight landing on him. He grunted and then kissed me again. The kiss was deeper, making my toes curl.

He abruptly shoved me away. "See you later." he said, moving from the bed to the shower.

I turned and left. Unsure what all of that was about, I climbed int my car and drove to my place. I parked my car and hurried upstairs. Once inside I showered. I skipped washing my hair it would take too long to dry. I Got out of the shower and stood in front of my mirror.
