Allowing the Irishman to take the corpse, more than fine to have him do the work for her, a slight smile came Junia as he walked off in a huff. She had found an easy target indeed. [b]"Oh but you're completely right!"[/b] She began, following after him, entirely unfazed by his veiled threat and determined to nettle him some more. [b]"It IS beyond stupid to think someone would carry cash on them."[/b] She told him in the same mocking tone he had apparently utterly failed to recognise earlier. [b]"Just as stupid as it would be to expect someone to carry a checkbook on hand these days. COMPLETELY idiotic, I know!"[/b] She could barely remember the last time she had seen or heard of a cheque. While he might have been vindicated by the fact that he found the only criminal in all of Academy City, and perhaps even all of Japan, that carried a checkbook while stealing corpses, let alone at any time, it did, by this man's own words, only make him a lucky idiot, but an idiot nonetheless.

[b]"I would be careful cashing that cheque, if I were you."[/b] She continued as they exited into full view of the others. [b]"I mean, a cheque given to you by an invisible criminal in a dark alleyway? It might not even be legitimate. Or even if you manage to cash it, it might come from a completely illegal source. You might just end up in a jail cell for all your trouble."[/b] It struck her that it would have been the perfect moment for that man to exact some revenge on the Irishman by writing him a cheque that was completely worthless. If it hadn't occurred to him, then these criminal folk must be equally cowardly and moronic. But, knowing how things had gone so far, Junia was fully expecting whatever invisible force that was favoring him to create a series of contrived coincidences that resulted in the Irishman coming off smelling like a bed of roses. It was almost as though they were characters in a story where the author was blatantly favoring his little pet.
