One Ticket to Baton Rouge

    by: Zoo - Salted and Roasted Author IconMail Icon
With your head hung over the bowl, you do your business and clean yourself up. When you come out of the stall the boy with the Priest shirt is waiting. He's leaning against the sinks with his headphones on, nodding his head to the trebly beat sneaking out of the headphones. " God. That must be deafening." you think.

" What're you doin'? Running away? " you ask, grabbing a paper towel out of the dispenser. " Where's you parents?"

The kid looked at the floor and dug in his pants pocket, pulling out three crisply folded hundred dollar bills and thrust them at you. " Com'n Mr. Sheeter. I got enough don't I? Just take me to Baton Rouge, no questions asked. OK? Like, I gotta get there today."

You stare at him, rinse your mouth in the sink and then say. " How do you know I'm even Sheeter? I could just be some drunk for all you know,.... take your money and walk out of here."

The kid looks defeated and starts to leave, but you suddenly decide to take him to Baton Rouge. You're not sure why, maybe you just decide the kid looks like he needs a break.

" Come on. " you say as you brush past him on the way out. " I'll take you."

You have the following choice:
