Chapter 6 6

Sloane's hand shot out, aiming for Elease's shoulder.

Elease didn't block it. She simply shifted her weight to her left foot. It was a micro-movement, barely an inch.

Sloane pushed empty air. Her momentum carried her forward. She stumbled, her arms flailing, and crashed into a rack of silk scarves.

The metal rack tipped over with a loud, clattering crash. Scarves fluttered down like colorful rain, burying Sloane.

"Assault," Elease stated calmly. She looked at the sales associate. "There are cameras, Sarah."

Sarah froze. Her eyes darted between the fallen girl and Elease. She was terrified of a lawsuit.

Fannye rushed to help Sloane up. She turned on Elease, screaming. "You pushed her!"

"Physics disagrees," Elease said. "She lost her balance. Just like your mother loses her dignity."

Fannye let out a sound of pure rage. "You scarred monster! No wonder Kason vomited when he looked at you!"

The store went quiet. Other shoppers stopped browsing and turned to watch. The air was thick with tension.

Elease raised her hand and touched the scar on her cheek.

"This?" she said softly. "This is a reminder of a kitchen fire when I was twelve."

She locked eyes with Fannye. Her gaze was intense, unblinking.

"A fire started because someone was playing with a lighter near a bottle of cooking oil. A child's cruel prank that went too far. Isn't that right, Fannye?"

Fannye paled. The color drained from her face so fast she looked like she might faint.

"You... you can't prove that," Fannye whispered.

"I don't need to prove it to know you're rot," Elease said.

She turned her back on them and looked at Sarah.

"The suit. Now."

Sarah hesitated. She looked at Fannye, who was trembling, then at Elease.

"I... I can't serve you," Sarah stammered. "Miss Finch is a VVIP here. You need to leave."

Fannye smirked, regaining a sliver of ground. "That's right. Kick her out, or I call my dad."

Elease pulled out her phone.

"Call him," she said. "Ask him about the SEC audit notification he received this morning."

Fannye froze. "What?"

"You didn't know?" Elease raised an eyebrow. "Finch Industries is under investigation. Spending daddy's money right now might be considered... evidence tampering."

Blair and Sloane exchanged worried looks. They took a subtle step away from Fannye. They were social climbers; they couldn't be associated with a financial scandal.

Fannye saw the betrayal. Her mouth opened and closed. "She's lying! She's crazy!"

Elease walked to the counter. She tapped her phone against the contactless payment terminal, bypassing Sarah completely.

"Self-checkout."

The terminal beeped.

But it wasn't the soft chime of a transaction approval. It was a loud, distinct, warbling alert sound.

The screen didn't say "Approved."

It flashed a brilliant, crimson red, followed by a pulse of gold.

AUTH_OVERRIDE: PROTOCOL-ZERO.

AUTHORIZATION: LEVEL 0.

Sarah gasped. She had been trained for five years. She had seen Platinum cards. She had seen Centurion cards.

She had never seen a Level 0 Authorization. It was a myth. It meant the buyer owned the bank, or the store, or the ground the store was built on.

"Who... who are you?" Sarah whispered, her hands shaking.
