Trinkett lay in bed beside him. He was already asleep, drunk and satisfied. His breathe coming deep and even. 'You really should do it you know.' She thought to herself. 'Just place it over his head and hold it.' Trinkett knew he wouldn't wake up. He had already smelled of liquor when he came to her that evening and had had continued to drink more as he forced her to drink with him. 'Smother him!' She rubbed the pillow with her hands. 'He deserves it.' She slowly sat up and grabbed the pillow. 'But what if he's playing with you? He's done it before. Don't you remember what he said?'
"You know what happens when you don't play nicley Trinkett...dont--ever--think of--breaking the rules." Top Hat had held her under him, breathing into her face. He painfully twisted her arm, stressing his point.
'Don't you remember what happened last time?'
She had been stupid that night. He had been sitting on his bed, demanding she 'put-on a show' for him. His cane laid on a table just beside the bed. She had walked up to the bed, trying her hardest to act sincere in wanting to seduce him. She had taken his hat and placed it on her head. She had leaned into him, her mouth just inches away from his, teasing him. She had grabbed the cane off the table and swung with all her might...
But he wasn't stupid. Her over-eagerness had set Top Hat off. He grabbed the cane just before it hit him, twisting it and throwing Caliko to the bed. He had set her up. Top Hat crawled on top of her and grabbed the cane from her hands and tossed it aside. Then he grabbed her arm and bent and twisted it until she thought it would break. "You know what happens when you don't play nicley Trinkett...dont--ever--think of--breaking the rules." He let her go and stood up. He walked over to his cane and picked it up. He returned to the bed. "You've been very naughty." He raised the cane----
She hugged the pillow to her. 'What if he's awake?' She looked at his still sleeping form. She put the pillow behind her head and laid back down. What if he was just playing with her?
