”Of course - just one?”
”No - two please,” Marta said, and the woman rang her up. Marta paid using her own money and grabbed the two certificates and headed towards Nox’s table.
She approached and Nox still smelled weird. The other man smelled confused and uncertain. There was maybe a little fear mixed in. There was a lot going on there. It wouldn’t do to stick around long. She also knew Ricky would be watching.
”Excuse me,” she said, more to the stranger than Nox. ”Im sorry to interrupt, I just wanted to give my friend a Christmas present.” she put the certificate for the prepaid drink on the table in front of him. The other she put in front of the stranger. ”And one for you too! Merry Christmas!
As she placed it on the counter someone entered the cafe. The wind blew and Marta smelled something. Her eyes went to the door, a look of concern on her face as a scent blew in on the wind. She had thought she smelled blood.
