Chapter 42 Ninja Momma

When I left the restroom my plan had initially been to go home but then I remembered that I was here to carry out a punishment and not just have dinner and fight a crazy woman. "Was that the punishment?" I asked myself and rather than heading for the door. I returned to my seat. Though I had just encountered an abnormal situation, I did not forget that I was here on punishment and still had some minutes to go. I watched the two little kids whose mother I had just slammed on the wall for some seconds, my gaze soon shifting to their mother who came out of the restroom. Surprise flashed through her face when she saw me, but then she quickly shrugged it off and went to the counter. Some minutes later, the woman left the counter with several plastic bags obviously filled with food and as she heralded her kids out of the restaurant, I stood up and also exited. ...…. "So where are you headed now" At the front of the shop, I called out to the woman, just as she was rushing with her kids to wherever. The brown hair woman stopped moving and then taking her kids behind her she turned to me. "None of your business." "Other than mine, I don't see any other car in the vicinity, so unless you are a witch who can fly, then it means you're about to take those kids on a lengthy dangerous night walk. Where do you even plan to sleep." My words made the woman's face twist in anguish, but just as she was about to lash out at me after hearing the last one, I held up my hands and stopped her. "Look, you can keep being secretive and mysterious all you want, but be reasonable and let me take you to a hotel." The woman frowned at my offer but just as she was about to reject it a pair of bright eyes sneaked out from behind her and glanced at me with curiosity. "It's always the females," I thought my heart softening and hardening as I watched the little girl. "You don't have a choice" I cut the woman off. "You either follow me peacefully or get beaten into following me." "...." A minute later, my sweet BMW was carrying one hell of a weird family, I glanced at the silent kids who made themselves comfortable behind but then when I looked back to their mother who was with me in the front , I could only smile dryly. "What's your name" I causally said to the woman who now had her gun out, resting it against her belly and pointing it at me. "Don't do anything stupid" "They're kids around, of course I know to behave," I said as I started the car and drove out of the parking lot. Though I didn't get to convince ninja momma to let me take her to a hotel, she at least let me drop her in a more urban location where I didn't have to worry about someone kidnapping her and her kids.

"Goodnight ninja momma" I said this being the name I had given her since she refused to tell me her name. "Tch, childish" The dark-haired woman muttered these words under her breath, but I still clearly heard them. "Life is short Momma, Live it to the fullest, and that goes for the pipping" Waving her good night and driving off, I watched the information on the screen at the corner of my sight. [Punishment cleared] "Just that, no rewards." [It's a punishment] "That doesn't mean it has to be merciless." […..] "Well, what was the essence of that punishment" [It's a punishment. There is no extra meaning to it, other than to discomfort you] "Yeah right, like I'll believe that." My further attempts to incite the system to tell me more about the punishment ended in failure and I could only accept that it was all about wasting my time. ...… Friday 12th of May [Charles Schwab account] [Trader Name: Marcus Lawson Account Balance: $135 Margin Balance: NOTA Equity Value: $482309 ======================= Stock Holdings: {Stock Name: Pfizerizz Quantity: 485 Shares Purchase Price: $6 Current Price: $227 Unrealized P/L: +$107,185} ---------------------------------- {Stock Name: Mattel Quantity: 54 Shares Purchase Price: $18 Current Price: $41 Unrealized P/L: +$1242} -------------------------------------- {Stock Name: SpideX Quantity: 20000 Shares Purchase Price: $2 Current Price: $17 Unrealized P/L: +$300000 ---------------------------------------- {Stock Name: Cocta Quantity: 60000 Shares Purchase Price: $0.5 Current Price: $0.4 Unrealized P/L: -6000} ======================= Open Orders: NOTA] $30000 to Cocta and $40000 to spideX. Cocta was the name of a beverage company which trended on the papers but had been listed with near zero presence while Spidex was an AI company. It took Tesla till 2015 to make a reasonable self-driving AI and chatgpt only delivered 2022. Reasonable AI development was still some miles away. "Tesla is around the corner though" As was with this period, SpideX had come out with big claims and just two days ago, had released a simulation video of their AI, blowing away the community and having hands clicking buy on their shares. "I should be selling off this stock by next month" I would have bought Cocta shares far early on if it wasn't for the fact that I was having a hard time remembering just how low it fell. I had put off purchasing the stock for some days but with its miracle day on the horizon, I could only forgo the extra gains I would have made from buying it at a lower price. Checking up on my money, I clicked to take a look at the stocks which I had plans for but was not yet ready to buy. Knock! Knock! Knock! Three Knocks on my door had me looking away from my computer, and I could only lick my lips as I got off the chair and answered it. "Lucy" I opened the door and stared at the dark-haired woman, the blank look on my face a sharp contrast to her bright and excited expression.
