She covered in sweat and blood, and for some reason she's still smiling like an idiot. She liked this kind of work.
At the end of her night she steps wearily towards her new "home". It's a fair sized tent big enough to hold a bed, nightstand and thin dresser, as well as a table for her to use as she saw fit. Stepping through the closed flaps she finds Kyle waiting patiently, Max lying asleep in the corner.
"I didn't expect you this soon," she grinned, laughing, "I thought it be a few days before you'd come sneaking in here."
Eventually Serena had realized the time and had to say a rushed goodbye, exchanging numbers to meet up later. One of her friends offered to drive her home and she accepted, grateful not to take the bus again.
Her friend pulled over in front of the condo complex, letting Serena out, although she was careful to watch for traffic. It didn't help that it had rained overnight, leaving the ground wet and hard to walk on with a cane.
"Careful!" her friend called as Serena got her two feet planted on the ground, just in time for a car to veer by.
It didn't slow down, speeding past them and through an enormous tunnel, spraying Serena from head to toe with murky street water.
"Fuck," she sighed, grossed out, "I have to go. I need a shower now. And new clothes."
Hobbling across the street, Serena heard her phone buzz but she was too wet to rummage through her purse, deciding it was easier to call back. Thankfully their apartment building had an elevator, making Serena's life easier as she got off on her floor and stomped to the front door.
Her phone rang a second time as she went to unlock the door, stepping in to find Alex hovering over the phone, looking distraught as sweat beads his forehead. She probably looks no better, soaked head to toe in dirty water, her make up smeared, and her hair limp.
