Ray trudged through the blazing afternoon heat toward the local train station. The place was packed with city commuters rushing around, but the second he got close to the ticket counter, that sharp voice rang out in his head again.
'Skip the counter, dumbass,' the girl's voice ordered, sounding super satisfied and cocky. 'Go straight to Platform 4.'
Ray stopped dead in his tracks, his eyes darting around in panic. 'Wait... what the hell? I haven't bought a ticket yet.'
'No need, motherfucker,' she shot back fast, followed by a short dismissive laugh. 'Just walk through the gate. I already hacked the security cameras and the automatic turnstiles. Unless... you actually wanna pay just to be my slave?'
Ray gritted his teeth, swallowing his pride whole as he passed the ticket area. Just like she said, the automatic gate flashed green when he approached, opening up without a single staff member getting suspicious.
