Let's pretend it is

Scarlet seems to enjoy kissing you because she spends most of the night doing it. Your cheeks, your nose, and your lips. Despite her being a little bit of a bitch earlier, she's relatively comfortable talking to you now. You ask a few questions, which she gladly answers. You won't be leaving the area but will just go to a different county or "district" if you prefer. With winter approaching, it'd be near hopeless trying to get somewhere quick anyway. There aren't very many people coming up, and everyone leaving is either different security outfits or the competition leaving. Now is the only time to capitalize on the population as far as gun-running goes.

You blink and try to fall asleep, but Scarlet rolls on top of you just as you are about to drift. She licks your cheek, fumbling with your belt, and slips her tongue around your skin for a while. If she were a cat, you'd expect to hear and feel her purring. "Aww~ all tuckered out? Did I wear you out~? You seemed so ready to go before, though..."

She straddles you and starts to kiss you more, but you're too exhausted to do anything. So, to your misfortune, you fall asleep with Scarlet in your lap and her tongue in your mouth. Your dreams feel invaded somewhat as you hear strange noises throughout your slumber. Moaning? No, it more sounds like howling. You woke once briefly to the sound of the wind outside. The entire building had air running through it. The fire you had made was still crackling but was providing a lot less heat than it did before. When you tried to move, you found Scarlet to be pressed against your side...Shirtless? You cautionary felt around her body, finding her bra to be still on.

The best way to transfer heat was via skin contact, so you took your shirt and coat and put them over yourselves like a blanket. You grabbed Scarlet and started to spoon with her - listening to the corrupted world outside blow itself inside the crippled structure was...unsettling, to say the least. You didn't want the roof to cave in and kill you. You gripped Scarlet tighter and nuzzled the nape of her neck - blocking out wind until you were able to drift again...

Morning arrived. This time you woke to the sound of crackling. Your eyes open. Scarlet was across from you with a very plain expression. Her hair was still pinned up in its odd style, but she seemed to have lost her horiness from the night before. You got up and reached for your shirt, getting dressed again before saying anything. Her eyes looked up, and she gave a smile. "Guten morgen."

"I don't speak German," you replied, folding your coat.

"I don't either - but it's a pretty common phrase." Scarlet reached for her shirt too. It hugged her body, giving her the appearance of a slender fighter again. She stretched and put her hands on her waist. "I almost thought I was going to have to wake you up. After I peeled myself away from you this morning, you hardly made a noise. You're a suuuper heavy sleeper."

You scoff, fighting the urge to blush. God damnit, maybe you are a teenager? You wipe your face and yawn. You stood up and stretched. "So, where are we going?"

Scarlet bit the insides of her mouth. "To be honest, I was expecting to see more of the crew this morning. The fact they aren't probably means they're tied down doing other things."

"...Or...dead?" You inquire.

She shakes her head. "Not dead. Not unless they got physically involved in what they were told to do. Remember, we're just scouting around to see where we can gun run."

She looks at her watch and brushes back her blonde locks. "At this hour, my boss should be ready to meet you, and you can sign for a contract with my outfit. You should also meet the others. You'll be working with me mostly, but there'll be a party so-to-speak every so often with more than just the two of us."

"Am I going to need to know anything beforehand?"

She shrugs. "We're not going to ask you for blood or semen if that's what you're worried about."

"Aight. Good to know, I guess."

A cute smile stretched on Scarlet face. "Honestly, just be yourself. Don't be someone your not. We don't like liars or actors. We only act and lie when we're getting something we want. Even our basic contractors get only what they need. Anything personal you keep to yourself and in your own life, capisce? Don't ask for handouts either. Don't make any fights. Don't look at anyone weird. Don't ask stupid questions. Don't..."

She sighs, looking at you. "Don't get involved with the others that much if you can at all help it, OK?"

You nod and follow her out, starting a journey back into the forest that you left last night. What have you gotten yourself into now, Warren?
