"Thanks for your help, Kenny, but you're a little forward for my taste," she said, brushing her hand along his taking a wide stride to put distance between the two of them.
She headed up the hot sidewalk and towards the beach-side locker rooms and showers. I'll just get be some cloths, check the In-Game help, and find the nearest place to pick up a weapon, she decided. However, just as she had made it up the street and to the short stares leading to the openings for male and female rooms, she caught the sight of blue uniform out of the corner of her eyes.
Stephanie turned right and saw there was a police kiosk around the building and across the street. Parked on one side of it where two police cars, each with two policemen inside. Just inside the small, one room building, was a single police officer standing there, facing away from her, and talking on the radio.
It wasn't the cops that caught her eye, but that she could see guns, ammo, and armour all up on the walls just inside the single-room building. Right there, but easy pickings? Probably not. There needed to be a distraction. A crime. Something.
Denise looked back to see Kenny was coming up behind her. He sighed. He couldn't just blow him off now, he was in the way. I said I work better alone, he thought to himself, looking up over Stephanie's shoulder at him.
"What's the rush?" he asked her.
"Do you have a pocket knife?" she asked.
"Swiss Army, in my bag, why?" he wondered, looking down at her, his hair falling down around his face… those golden curls that might do something for some girls, but certainly not this one.
"Get it, and meet me in first shower in the girls' locker room," she smiled, and walked ahead of him, up on into the building. If he wont leave me then I will make him leave me, she thought to herself as a deep frown covered her cute little face.
She looked around the main locker room and there were two other woman, one with a little girl, inside. Stephanie gave them a passing look and hoped they would be gone before she did what she had to. She stepped into the first shower stall, turned on the hot water, and waited, standing just to the side of the spray.
One woman left before she heard Ken call, "Steph, are you in there?"
"Yes… hon," she offered. "Do you have my shampoo?" she asked, giving him an excuse to enter when others were present.
"Uh, yeah," he said, covering the right side of his face as he entered the women's locker room. The woman made a huff sound as he glanced at her and then stepped into the shower with Stephanie. He grinned and shrugged, pulling the shower curtain closed behind him.
"Got it?" she asked him.
"Yeah… but what do you need it for?" he asked, beginning to get wet from the shower as he handed her the device.
She took it and pulled out the knife which was much larger than it was supposed to be. Glory of video games had everything a bit over the top and idealized, but whatever. She shrugged, and looked up at him, smiling. As the sound of the woman and the little girl leaving the stalls could be heard, Steph gave Ken a cold look.
"I needed a knife," she said as she stabbed him once in his stomach, and before he could yelp, she quickly flicked her wrist and brought the knife back across, going for his neck.
