What's the price?

Not what she expected

Kate groaned in terror, averting her eyes. "Wait, no no no. Please, no."

The man looked confused. "Hm? What's the matter?"

Kate looked up. The man tossed his jumpsuit to the side, revealing a skintight black leather suit underneath. "This is my stealth suit," he explained, "I based it off of my hero, Black Widow. Impressive, huh?"

Kate exhaled in relief, and examined the seemingly hand-stitched costume, which left little to the imagination. "Uhh," she said, "yeah, looks great. So, what do you need from me?"

The man nodded, and pointed over to the police captains desk. Kate went over to look, peering through the bars. "The captain? You want me to get you the keys?" She asked.

"Not the keys. The donuts."

Kate did a double take, but sure enough, a pink box of a dozen donuts sat atop the captains desk.

"This isn't a full prison, so the rations are quite bad," he explained. "If I help you sneak out, I want you to swing back once you've got clothes and bring me some of those.. *heavenly* donuts."

Kate suppressed a chuckle at the rapid de-escalation of events. "Sure thing bud. So, how are we getting out of here?"
