Valerie paced back and forth across the room. Jessica stared from her chair. Her friend's fits were typically on display whenever she failed to nab AV tickets, but something seemed off tonight. First off, Valerie's attire Ð The only tight article was her black shirt. Aside from the cargo pants, Homegirl dressed much like herself, pocketed vest and everything. Even the goggles on her forehead were new, blue, covert-style lenses. Jessica was in a belittling mood.
"What did you do, or what did you miss out on?"
"Uhhh, I don't even know where to start, homegirl."
"You said you needed me."
"That's only because I'm in a bind, Jess."
"Okay then, what constitutes a 'bind' in your dictionary?"
Valerie breathed in then out.
In.
Out.
"I'm with the resistance."
