"Ah!"

A scream cut through the air, followed by a man's curse.

The door slammed open and out stormed a guy from Zoe's room, cursing under his breath, "Giving you 200 bucks was already generous."

"I need the money, I really do, please," Zoe pleaded on her knees, rubbing her hands together, incessantly begging.
