Time Skip...

A week later, the three women had moved out of state and into a large three-bedroom house. When it was time to split the loot, Lauren had discovered that she had only ten dollars for her share. Upon interrogation, Rachel revealed that they had used Lauren’s share to pay for the house, the moving truck, the legal papers, the supplies needed for their deal, the renovations to the house, and lunch; leaving only ten dollars for the little woman.

Lauren groaned as she got up from the table and stomped up the stairs to what would be her room. Cassandra and Rachel smirked to one another, the latter using her fingers to count as she mouthed out “three…two…one…”. As if on cue, Lauren let out an ear-piercing shriek. Smiling, the two women climbed up the stairs to Lauren’s new room to see the little woman standing in the middle of it, looking around in horror.

The room was painted a pastel pink and covered with blue bunnies. The closet was full of diapers and baby clothes. There was a changing table right by the window. Toys littered the floor and shelves. And then there was the worst offender standing in the middle of the room: a crib. A crib! Complete with a mobile that had stars and multicolored sheep!

“Do you like it?” Cassandra asked mockingly, “I picked everything out myself.”

“Do I – No!” Lauren shouted, stomping her foot. “I do not like it! This isn’t a bedroom; it’s a nursery! Where’s my bed? Where’s my belongings? Where are my adult clothes?!”

“Oh, those?” Rachel asked, feigning innocence. “Well, we decided that, since we’re starting a new life under new names here, you wouldn’t need any of that stuff. So, we donated your bed, your belongings, and all your clothes to charity, while we threw out all of your enhancements.”

“You what?!” Lauren shrieked in terror. “All of them?!”

“Well, all except the ones you’re wearing right now.” Rachel admitted with a shrug.

Lauren paled. The only shred of adulthood she had left…were the clothes that she was currently wearing? Lauren felt her lip begin to quiver.

“That reminds me.” Cassandra chimed in, a smirk on her face as she looked at the humiliated Lauren.
