Justice (Maria path)

At that moment your phone buzzes. You look and it's an unknown number from the local area code. You answer.

"Hello?" you say.

The voice on the other end is slow, hesitant.

"Hi, it's Maria. We met earlier today. You told me to call you. I guess I don't know why I am but, uh, I am," she says.

"Maria, the simplest explanation is that you're doing it because you're curious. You heard something today that excited you. That was clear enough when we spoke," you say.

There's a pause on the other end of the line for a long time, then, softly,

"Yes."

"Are you still at the mall?"

"Yes."

"Go to parking lot section E and wait. We'll be there in 5 minutes," you say and hang up.

"Sounds like that was our girl," Stacey say.

You nod, smirking. You're a little surprised your strategy worked, and you can't wait to meet her. The thrill of pushing her beyond the marker's instructions had started wheels turning in your mind. Time enough for that soon.

You turn back to the scumbag. You take his arm again and write:

WILL CONFESS AND APOLOGIZE TO ALL HIS VICTIMS AND CONFESS ON SOCIAL MEDIA

FORGETS ABOUT THE MARKER AND EVERYTHING IT WROTE

"Delete that photo you took of us too. And feel ashamed of yourself. You're lucky we don't have time to waste on you," you say as you and Stacey walk away to meet Maria.

You see her near your car, exactly where you told her to be, looking around. Maria is a mid-height and curvy wavy-haired brunette, with light brown skin. Her outfit is a professional saleslady's, maybe revealing a little bit of cleavage behind her blouse, but mostly tasteful Her big hazel eyes lock onto you and widen in fear, like a doe looking into the headlights of an oncoming car.

You and Stacey approach her. You look at her, giving your best confident gaze, heart thumping inside at the excitement of the hunt.

"I... Don't even know why I'm here. I have a boyfriend. I shouldn't have eavesdropped. I'm sorry." Maria says. Her words stumble out over each other. She's flustered. She turns to leave.

"I thought you were curious," you say and your words halt her, "If you are curious, if you aren't ready to turn away, I can show you how you can feel that way too. Just get in your car and follow us for a nice chat in our home," you say.

Stacey plays her role as you give your speech, holding onto your arm and posing in her revealing outfit, now marred with more of their mingled juices. Maria looks at Stacey, but mainly focuses on you, including the growing bulge in your pants.

"I, um, take the bus," Maria says.

"Even better. Get in," you say and unlock your car remotely.
