"Oi!!!!" Oriana's bellow almost shattered the window of the seedy used car lot.

"Wha' the FAK do y'think yer' doin' with this car?!" She snarled, leaping over the hood of a beater and snatching the collar of the salesman in the cheap suit, lifting him off his feet. "And WHERE'S THE BANDANNA THAT WAS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT?!"

The salesman saw his life flash before his eyes, the bulldog kemono's legs jerking under him as Oriana Embers' gray eyes burned into his.

"I-I-I-I...!!! The car was sold to us by some dirty guy in a mask!" He stammered.

"YA' DIDN'T GET A PINK SLIP?! This is my dad's car!! He stole it when I parked it outside the pool!" The amazonian wolfox snarled.

"I-I uh... well... five hundred zerri and it's all yours!"

Oriana's eyes blazed. "The fak did you just say?" Suddenly she wasn't yelling and the salesman felt his blood turn to ice water...

"I-I mean, take it! A-And the bandanna's in the garbage bin over there..."

Oriana suddenly smiled, then carried him over to it, snatching him by his ankles and lowering him into the garbage can... "Go fish!"

Wasting no time, he scrambled, fingers digging through paper, coffee grounds and styrofoam cups until he found the bandanna, drawing it out and holding it up.

"Thank you." She snipped, then let go, dropping him headfirst in the can before heading to her father's black Cutlass, swiping off the price tag and climbing in, gunning the engine and peeling out of the lot.

Later...

Leon was checking his watch as his daughter pulled up to the villa. "It's almost nine, Ori. We wanted you back by six for dinner. Glad you found the car at least..."

"Yup. Thief fucker tried to pawn it off." Oriana strolled past him and he sniffed the air around her with a curious cock of the head.

"Uhh... why do you smell like coffee...?"

"Long story, da'..."
