“Why would you want to talk with me? Haven’t you caused enough damage already, pig?” Avani shouted, but Kasai turned and left the room. She tried to spit at her and missed, hitting the table instead. Her aim was way off. 

The first reason her drunken and drugged mind could come up with as to why Kasai wanted to talk with her was nonsensical. “Are you pregnant? I never fucking touched you.” She began to move back and forth, swinging from her fastened feet like a pendulum. Her drunken mind eventually remembered that they were both girls. “And that is not how it works. No one is gonna believe you. Dumb pig.”

Avani was left to her own devices as the door shut. She wondered how long they could keep her hanging like this. It hardly seemed legal in the first place. She had committed no crime prior to being bothered by the police, which they would know about. In retrospect, she probably should have let them bring her in, because obviously she was in more trouble for resisting arrest. 

The only crime she could think of was what Kasai had said in the spirit world, about how Avani had seduced an officer of the law and she had implied it was a crime then. She groaned at the thought that it may have been an actual crime after all. 

Avani would have to claim that she had been framed if that was the reason she was hanging here. Kasai had practically begged her to touch her and then even invited her inside her apartment for sex when they had met in Republic City. She was so glad she hadn’t accepted now.

As the hours passed, Avani thought of a number of bizarre theories as to why she had been sought by the police at all. The only one that seemed plausible was that she had attempted to seduce an officer. Maybe it was considered a form of bribe? She did entertain the idea that Kasai had lied to get to her as well.

By the time the door opened again, Avani had fallen asleep or perhaps passed out from being upside down too long. Either way, the sound of the door opening awakened her. She saw Kasai enter the room once more, alone, to finally have that talk with her.

“Fair enough.” Avani said, keeping herself calm despite feeling the urge to strangle Kasai. “You better have a damn good reason though. If I don’t like what you are about to say, then I will tell your superiors, I will tell the papers and I will tell everyone about this.” Avani betted everything she had on the idea that Kasai had been lying to others and had no justifiable reason to arrest her. “I’m sure you understand what that would mean for your future.”

There was hesitation in Kasai, but she must have realized that keeping Avani hanging any longer would make the situation worse if she had no justifiable cause in the first place. Avani thought about grabbing Kasai by the shirt and lifting her up, or kicking her leg again, but she decided to sit down at the table instead. 

“So what does the proper straight girl want to tell the promiscuous lesbian?” Avani snorted and rolled her eye.
