"I do not have the abundant resources to feed both of you at once" Specter said, after which, Rasha laughed dryly and in a retorting style said
"I have never asked you to feed us. It's just a matter of time before we have our own house too after all we are RICH"
She stood up and fanned the bundle in her hand against Specter's face. She had more of them thanks to whoever Specter's bosses were.
The inside of the Creek cave where Specter and his men used to guard was filled with sacks of money. To get their share in it, Rasha distracted Specter and his men in the name of providing aid to his amort men whilst Ragnar furtively sneaked into the cave with Rasha's oversize cross body bag and so on.
"You mean rich from the money you stole?" -Specter
"One can call it whatever one wants but the fact remains the same, we are rich again. Come to think of it, I am sure, I mean hundred % sure that even your so-called bosses did not earn that wealthy amount legally. Did they kill or steal?"
"Does it matter?" Specter asked and she replied
"It doesn't. But surely it matters to them. You should run into hiding like a scared rabbit OK? It will take only a matter of seconds to snap your neck"
She sounded as if she was a big fan of the unnamed bosses and most notably, trying to frustrate him as she did to anyone, with her words.
As much as Specter hated to agree, she was right, the bosses won't let him off the hook with certitude. But that did not mean he would run into hiding like a scared rabbit as Rasha suggested.
"Thank you for the reminder but I am sure your situation is worst than mine"
"That's why I am reminding from my wealth of experience. I don't think you could even handle the thought of being in my shoes" -Rasha, as though she was proud of where she was today.
Specter clenched his teeth for he could not win against Maiden Houdini, with how adept she was at using her words. Thus he changed the topic
"The community is looking for the woman who injured Salim, they won't stop until they fish her out"
Specter did not even entertain the thought of wanting to see her panicky from the announcement. A person who was hunted by the world, what could a mere community do to make her lose cool?
"Good luck to them, maybe you should help them too?"
"And you think I wouldn't if I want to?"
"I think you are afeared because you aren't doing it"
"Don't try me Maiden Houdini, I am not scared of you"
"We'll see about that. You know, I am a small fan of this side of you, the side that encourages you to say, 'YOU DON'T INTIMIDATE ME MAIDEN HOUDINI'"
Rasha smiled one-sided as she readied to get into the house, clutching he oversize cross body bag.
"You should be happy, Maiden Houdini has never gave a word of compliment to anyone hitherto. What do you say about working for me? I will pay you generously while protecting your fragile life"
Specter followed her unbandaged figure until it disappeared into the house.
Was there anyone in the world more knowledgeable on how to irk people to the nth degree and they could do naught but seethe, like Rasha?
Specter was currently seething with his nails digging into his palms. If it was anyone else, he would have made them take back their words but that was Maiden Houdini, no matter what, she was never someone he would underestimate.
Not a minute more, Specter followed her into the house leaving Ragnar who was still having breakfast behind.
