“Ouch.” Avani said, and stretched her tongue out towards Kasai. “Domestic abuse on our first day living together.” She joked, knowing that Kasai hadn’t put any real strength behind it or that she’d ever deliberately hurt her. “Hey, what do I know? Maybe you’re just really desperate for the touch of another female and I’m the only one you know.” Avani giggled, but soon grew quiet and simply observed Kasai that seemed lost in thought.
If they weren’t a casual hook-up, she wondered where their relationship was going and where it was going to end. If it was going to end at all. She felt better with Kasai than she had with anyone else before. Maybe it would be worth it to try to tone down the bad girl style for her, even if she didn’t want to get rid of it entirely. Besides, if she was going to do that Kasai should lose the cop crap when Avani was around too. It was just another job, there was no need for Kasai to spend her entire life working.
“You could come with me if I did leave.” Avani responded. “If we don’t die I mean. I feel like we’ve made ourselves deserving of a vacation at the very least. There’s no need to make any specific plans to return anytime soon either. We should travel the world while we’re still young.” She frowned and caressed Kasai’s cheek once more. “Well, while I’m young anyway. Maybe we’d find a place where we liked it better, who knows…”
She sat up in the sofa, and laid her arms around Kasai. “I don’t believe I’m attracted to you because you’re my opposite though, babe. You’re freaking hot, and much more fun to be with, fight with and joke with than anyone else I know. You don’t just roll over. I think we’re quite similar, just with different beliefs and different paths in life up till now.”
Avani turned Kasai’s head towards herself, leaned into her and kissed her desperately for a moment that felt like it couldn’t last long enough. “I’ll roll over for you if you ask me nicely…” She whispered seductively in the woman’s ear.
________________________________________________________________________________________________
The first day as a rat went by without any problem for Avani. She helped the gang get the resources they needed to pull off their big score, and got paid the amount they had agreed on. That should have been it, but as she needed to get in with them for the actual score she stuck around the gang’s hideout for a while after that. Once she asked if she could help out with the big score itself, they laughed and made jokes about how she couldn’t stay away for long, how she always came back like a good dog. It made her feel a lot better about selling them out further down the
road.
They were wrong about her. She may not be able to prove it to them unless the pigs forced her to testify in front of the gang members, but she’d prove it to herself and that was all that mattered. Avani told Kasai everything about the first day, even if the woman had been nearby and seen some of it.
The following days went by much like the first one, eventually turning into weeks. At times, Avani felt like she was betraying people that didn’t deserve it, people that had been there for her when she had needed money to survive. Other times, they pissed her off and she wanted to strangle a couple of them on the spot. All in all, it was genuinely entertaining work. Not the illegal parts of it, but the constant excitement that came with the fear that she could be discovered and murdered at any point. She might be sleeping with the fishes soon? Yay!
As the planned date of the gang’s big score grew close, there was a noticeable tension in the air at their hideout. People were on edge. Those in charge were particularly easy to anger during this time, but it only came to a few scuffles that didn’t result in anything more serious than bruises. It did make Avani question whether the gang was competent enough to pull of their plan to begin with. Sure, they would be stopped after they had attempted to rob the bank and found nothing because she was telling the police everything she could, but these arguments within the group itself didn’t inspire confidence.
On the day of the big score, Avani found herself a lot more relaxed than she had expected to be. She’d gotten through these weeks with her life intact, and now she only had one last thing left to do before getting paid. The gang would likely realize that they had been betrayed once they did enter the vault of the bank, found nothing and then got surrounded by the cops. She would get arrested with the rest of them, of course, but it was only a trick to make them all question who had betrayed them. Apparently it would help the pigs when interrogating them if they were already willing to sell out each other.
Avani would walk free, with her money and she could leave the city with Kasai. Assuming she could convince Kasai to take a prolonged vacation. The more she had thought about it during the last weeks, the more she felt like they both truly needed to get away from the city. They could certainly return one day if Kasai wanted too, but for now it was the decision she had come too. There were other cities and places to visit.
In the end, both the plan of the gang and the plan of the cops were executed a lot more smoothly than she had believed they would be. The gang was arrested after a fight that didn’t last particularly long. Avani enjoyed fighting the cops too much, so a few of those who got in her way was in some serious pain once she surrendered.
To their credit, they didn’t dock any of her pay due to it. She had figured there was a high possibility they would. It was a pleasant surprise to find out that there wasn’t much in the contract she had signed about beating up cops or resisting arrest. If she was to play a believable gang member she might need to be able to do both after all.
Avani did have to give a final statement the following day, but since she’d already told Kasai everything during the time she’d been undercover there wasn’t all that much to say which they didn’t know by then. She soon left the police station and found herself back in Kasai’s apartment.
“Well, I doubt the rest of the gang had as much fun as I did. Or that they will any time soon.” Avani said, sat down on the sofa and breathed out. “I’m slightly wealthy too, like right now in this moment. I doubt it will last once I start spending it. I never was good with money, not saving it anyway. I know how to spend it, mind you.”
“So…” Avani began, turning towards Kasai in the kitchen and feeling more nervous at that point than she had during most of her time with the gang. “Did you give my idea about traveling the world any more thought? It would be boring to leave you here…” They wouldn’t need to leave right away, but she wasn’t all that keen on staying much longer either. Partly because the gang could send someone to kill her even if they were in prison.
