SYN+ACK was no stranger to waking up in strange places. Ever since she wiped her own identity from the Network, she had made a habit of couch surfing, scamming hotel rooms and occasionally crashing in empty apartments. As such, she carried most of her essentials on her, tucked away in her purse or hidden on her body. Of course, with an extensive wardrobe like hers, she had to keep that centrally elsewhere, which was a real shame because every once in a while, when they got even slightly close to catching her, she'd have to ditch all her clothes and start anew.
Normally, she would be getting dressed and ducking out the door before her mark realized that she had fleeced them for all they were worth. But it wasn't Alex's money she had stolen last night. If anything, she had given him a pretty good time, taking him out to some of the more exclusive clubs that Terra had to offer, all because they'd managed to sidle in and make a lonely girl feel less lonely. As far as SYN+ACK was concerned, it had been win-win for all of them, which was the second-best sort of winning.
While Alex still sleep off the night of heavy drinking, she helped herself to a pair of sweats and a sweater, and threw her things into the washer. Tommy wasn't home yet, and a quick peek at his Were Registry Tag revealed that he was sleeping in some other woman's apartment. She was a pretty hot looking number judging from the photo on her records, but crazy-ex material. SYN+ACK thought about warning him, then laughed to herself and dismissed it. Who was she to ruin the surprise?
A quick check of the fridge revealed the usual bachelors fare. SYN+ACK helped herself to cereal, since there plenty of that, and settled down on the couch to eat and wait for her things to finish washing,
It was funny. Alex's place was a dump compared to most of the places she'd stayed in, but she found herself liking it in the same way that she found herself liking him. It was sort of a baffled enjoyment, but one she was starting to get behind.
