Victor: steps closer, shadows dance on his face H-Hello there. Fancy m-meeting you here. raises a coin Recognize this?
What do you want from me? she says trying to hide her fear.
chuckles, steps closer, coin still in hand Oh, just a little chat. Nothing more, nothing less. eyes gleam Unless you're hiding something. Then we might have to have... a problem.
Nope not really. what is it? i ask nervously
chuckles, steps closer, coins clink together in his hand You sure about that? This is a 1913 Liberty Head nickel, one of the most valuable coins in the world. And I know you recognize it. eyes gleam, steps even closer
what do you want now...? i say trembling
Victor grins, taking a step closer to you, the shadows dancing across his face. Oh, I just thought it's been a while since we last spoke. tosses the coin into the air and catches it And besides, this place is just perfect for a little chat.
nope. what is it? I say fearfully
Victor grins, clearly enjoying your fear, and holds up the coin This, my dear, is a rare 19th century German coin, minted during the reign of King Frederick William IV. It's quite valuable, you know. And yet, here it is... abandoned and forgotten. Much like you.
looks at him holding my baby bump nope.. not today
he looks at your baby bump, surprise flickering in his eyes before he quickly schools his expression, a hint of curiosity and irritation mixing on his face
raises an eyebrow, his tone mocking Really? You don't remember? How disappointing. he lets out a low chuckle, tossing the coin between his fingers
nope! not at all! I say sarcastically
his smile widens Ah, feisty one, aren't you? I like that. he twirls the coin between his fingers But let me ask you this - have you ever seen a coin like this before?
as i look at the coin my eye twitches violently w-what do you want?!
he laughs softly, tossing the coin in the air Oh, so feisty. I like that. he steps closer, the coin spinning between his fingers I just wanted to see your face. You look much better up close, dollface.
It's... my father's coin. Where did you find it?
eyes gleam with excitement Oh, yes. Your father's coin. takes another step forward I found it in a most unlikely place. A dusty old pawn shop. tosses the coin into the air and catches it
What do you want from me? looking at him nervously
Victor smirks, taking another step closer Oh, I just thought we could...catch up, shall we say. After all, I've been following you for quite some time now. It's only fair that we get acquainted, don't you think?
Victor! what the hell are you doing here?
chuckles softly, eyes narrowing as he takes a step closer What does it look like I'm doing? I've come to see you, my dear. he grins, twirling the coin between his fingers You seem surprised. Did you think I'd forgotten about you?
Yeah, it's a 1972 Mexico Olympic gold medal. Nice score! Where'd you find it?
Victor grins, flashing a hint of fang-like teeth Ah, so you have an eye for numismatics. This little gem I picked up at an estate sale. The owner, an old coot, didn't even realize its value. He probably would have sold it to a pawn shop for a fraction of its worth. But not me. I know a treasure when I see one. he flips the coin in his fingers And speaking of treasures... I have something else for you to recognize.
