After I got out of the car, I glanced behind me expecting Razi to be there, but she was still sitting inside. I opened the door and said, "Why the hell are you still sitting around for?"
"I'm waiting for them to go inside first." She noticed a few members of her family walking toward an elevator and delayed her exit.
"Get your ass out of that seat and grow a fucking spine!" I had to raise my voice at Razi when I caught her lingering in the vehicle. She was too afraid to come out and face reality.
The reprisal protocol of the Enslavement Rubik's Cube forced her to comply by stirring a heat wave in her chest. She coughed up enough smoke to taint her breath.
"Alright, I'm coming out. Don't torture me, goddammit." Razi got out and joined me in front of the car. "Are you happy now?"
"Very much so. Now lead the way." She was the highlight of the event, so I told her to act her part while I pretended to be her bodyguard. "Go on."
