One of the best things Tess liked about working in a garage was the coveralls. It was like a flight suit, but more so of a way to keep her clothes from getting dirty from any spills, rubbing against things, or her grimey hands. And Tess had found out in the last hour - the coveralls were good to protect her clothes from blood.
The young woman walked by herself from the government’s garage towards home. She wasn’t thinking about working a shift at Josie’s tonight. Her blonde hair was a mess, her solid blue bandanna now with drying drops of blood turning it black stuffed in her left side pocket. The chain of her ID card lanyard lightly clinked against the teeth of the coverall’s zipper. Tess had a cut over her right eye with blood running down to her upper eyelid. Her left eye was swollen shut, bruised purple blue. There were bruises on her face, knuckles, along her abdomen and torso. She had fought back, but the law won tonight.
Walking and half-shuffling, Tess was beginning to pass the Marketplace.
