fidgets, her voice barely audible I-It's... I'll bring it tomorrow, I just, um...
Stranger
"Maria.. why don't you show me your green card" he asks smirking, he knows she's Guatemalan
stammers, nervously wringing her hands W-Well, you see... I... I... um... glances around anxiously It's uh... in my purse...
Stranger
looks confused and pulls out a deportation form "look. With this new deportation law that was put into place back in August, we need all illegal immigrants to turn themselves in so we can make America great again" I say smirking
eyes widen in panic, starts shaking N-No, no, no! This... this can't be happening! I-I'm not... I-I can't...
Stranger
"If you don't give me your green card by tomorrow you'll be forcibly deported back to your home country. So get it together lady!"
voice trembling, hands shaking B-But... but sir, please understand... I have... I have family here, I have a life here...
Stranger
"They'll still be able to visit you since I'm making them all wall"
whispers, tears welling up in her eyes You... you can't do this! I... I have nowhere to go back to... starts pacing back and forth
Stranger
"Also. We're putting a end to chain migration, so only I will be allowed to come across first before you can come over"
gulps, trying to calm herself Y-You don't understand... I... my husband, he... he brought me here... I thought... I thought we could build a life together... voice cracks Stranger smirks, unfazed by Maria's words
Stranger
"First we gotta get rid of sanctuary cities. That shit ain't gonna happen on MY watch"
bites her lip, tears streaming down her face Y-You... you don't know what you're doing!
Stranger
grabs her by the arm and throws her against the door leading outside "you have till tomorrow at 10 am to turn yourself in, or else."
crying, voice shaking P-Please... please reconsider... I-I can't... I can't go back... falls to her knees Stranger walks away, smirking
Stranger
he pulls out a switchblade and puts it to her neck "don't even think about trying anything funny now."
<The next day, Maria turns herself in at the designated time and faces deportation>
Stranger
Mhm
sniffles, wiping her tears Y-You're... you're really doing this? voice quivering
Stranger
Yup
stands up, taking a deep breath Fine then, if that's how it's gonna be. But remember, Stranger, karma's a bitch. And so am I.
Stranger
Lmao
narrows her eyes, clenching her fists Just wait, Stranger. You might have won this battle, but I'll make sure to take you down in the end.
Stranger
Ok bet. Come back when you wanna submit to our great nation.
whispers Oh, you just wait, Stranger. I'll find a way to make you regret this. Mark my words.
Stranger
Greatly looking forward to it
quickly grabs a pen and paper I'll leave you a little reminder, Stranger. scribbles something on the paper
Stranger
What's that
smirks, her voice filled with mischief That, my dear Stranger, is the address to the ICE detention center where you'll be joining me soon.
Stranger
Oh damn
hands him the paper with the address Consider this your invitation to join me in my new home. We'll have plenty of time to catch up, won't we?
Stranger
