Chase Five (2)

On the stage, the earring man stood close to Skylar. He said something but Chase couldn't hear it because of the distance. He smiled in a flirting way.

Skylar smiled the whole time. She pushed the earring man into the black box.

She inserted four swords into the box, and then blood ran out from the bottom of the box.

The audience was frightened. Someone stood up, shouting, "Blood!"

Skylar calmly pushed the box around and then pulled out the sword. After the box was opened, the earring man walked out intact.

Skylar reached out and snapped her fingers in his ear. Then a rose appeared in her hand and she gave it to the man.

The earring man sniffed the rose and said to Skylar, "Thank you. I will take care of it."

After the performance.

"Didn't you see me raising my hand?" Chase pulled Skylar into the room.

"I did."

"Then why did you choose him?" Chase was exasperated.

"He is an audience," Skylar said.

"Am I not?" Chase pointed at himself in shock.

"Nope," Skylar said.
