[Oh fuck, he's asking for ID. They can't use any ID that they have on them in whatever time this is. She better think fast. She frowns and shakes her head, sighing as she leans against the counter.]
Well, I never got my ID. And we can't use his because I don't want my family finding out he brought me here. They don't really like him. Do we really need ID to do this?
[The man working eyes Johnnie more than her, but does give her a concerned look.]
You don't have anything to prove you're who you say you are? Not even a school ID?
[Her face brightens at that, as she remembers something Osvaldo made for her.]
Oh! Yeah, I have my student ID. It's from my community college back home.
[She pulls her wallet out and finds that ID, from back when she was trying to take some summer Spanish classes before. Maybe this is a sign she needs to keep this ID and try taking the classes again in the fall.
The good thing about using it is there's no dates. Just her picture, the name of the school and her actual name and birthday. She pulls it out and sets it on the counter. He barely glances at it before pushing it back her way.]
Looks good to me. Is $200 good for you then, honey?
[Oh, she wasn't expecting to be asked that. She thinks it over, tapping at her lips with her finger before shrugging.]
I was kinda hoping to get a little more than that. But you're the expert so if you think that's what's fair, I trust you.
[Her smile is so sweet and genuine that she can see the guy question himself.]
I guess I can go up to $300. $200 cash, and $100 store credit.
[$100 to find what they want seems like a better deal. She glances at Johnnie to see what he thinks. If they push for $300 cash, she thinks he might send them walking.]
