You have been robbed… You could just tell her that, but what if she thinks that you are trying to deceive her?

And why is that my problem?

“And why should I care?"

Her reply makes you stare in surprise. You expected her to at least pretend, but she inspects her nails as she smiles in your direction.

“All I care about is if you can pay for your drinks, and well, you say you’ve been robbed, meaning you can’t pay. And we don’t like that over here.”

You try again to tell her, you say that you’ll try and pay it off, like a tab. Or you’d be happy to pay once you've got your money back. But she shakes her head in disappointment.

“You know, that this just makes your lie that much worse right? I know you’re new here, but I saw the cash you had on you when you came in. So I know you can pay for this. Come on. Cough it up.”

You stand up to show her that you don’t have the bag on you, but she just rolls her eyes.

“Okay. Fine. Let's say you don’t have any money. Then we’ll just use you in a way that makes us some cash. And call it even."

You stop for a second trying to understand what the hell she meant, but it's too late.

You feel something hit you,, spotting someone in a mask pressing on the back of your neck, and then your vision darkens suddenly as you black out.
