Demon Marcus - Monday [10/14]

One good thing about Hanna's phone no longer being used as a weapon against her by stalkers with too much time? She wasted time at work by playing various Facebook games, including the highly addictive Candy Crush game. The level she was currently stuck on was the devil!

She'd put her phone aside to help any customers who might still be on the island.

"Don't get many customers, do you?" Mike asked, raising an eyebrow at her phone. You didn't want to get him started about kids these days and their short attention spans -- but this poor girl probably actually had nothing better to do.

Well, until now. He dropped a large armload on the counter -- not just shirts and pants, but also undershirts, underpants, socks, a jacket, belts, ties... He gave her an apologetic shrug, as if to say "well, what can you do?"

"Not usually when half the town is on vacation," Hanna replied. It was probably more than half, really.

She glanced at all the clothes on the counter. "You might be my new favorite customer, though."

She couldn't remember the last time anyone purchased this much at one time while she was working.

"Just the once," Mike told her, in case she thought he was going to make a habit of this. "I wasn't prepared for this trip, and left most of my clothes at home." Or, to be more accurate, all. When the police are after you, you don't stop to pack.

"This is a good place to start over," Hanna remarked as she began scanning some of the clothing. She knew that from her own experience.

Mike gave Hanna a thoughtful look. "Is that so?" he asked. "Do people do that a lot, here?"

"Some. And sometimes this place just kind of finds people," Hanna replied. "A lot are here to go to school or teach, too. I'm guessing that's not why you're here."

It wasn't even a question. The whole having to leave everything behind aspect of this guy told her that.

"Just passing through," Mike told her.

He didn't know for sure yet that he was wrong.
