(A note to the reader: I don't usually deal in interracial erotica. In this case, there is no explicit sexual action. The language is a bit charged at times, but it's not gratuitous and is for a purpose that I think to be good. But if it's going to bother you, I might suggest putting this one aside and trying a different story, maybe even one of mine -- I have a bunch to offer.)

Black Male

"There. See? Three hundred. Just like I told you. That's all I can get." The tall black man stepped back from the ATM and motioned for his escorts to take a look for themselves.
The younger man brushed his stringy blond hair aside and peered into the console, while the busty dark-haired woman eyed the other man warily. "Don't fuck with me. I *know* you got more'n that in your account." He straightened and stepped back.
"Maybe so, but I can't get at it, after hours. The cash card has a three-hundred-dollar limit. Per day. I tried to get it increased once - bank policy, some kind of federal regulation, that's the max. Here," he said, motioning to the sturdy young female, "see if you can find any way around it." She stepped to the keypad and tried a few things, then shook her head.
"Then, use a differ'nt card. I saw. You got others."
"Won't make any difference. The 300 max applies to them, all together. Credit, debit, all the same."
"Try it anyways."
The man shrugged, pulled a Visa card from the billfold, and inserted it. He typed the PIN, then pointed to the display. "See? It won't even let me log in. It knows I'm maxed out for the day."
"Ron? What about that other bank, across the street," the busty girl suggested.
"Yeah," her companion responded, "let's all just walk over there."
"Won't make any difference. The cash card will just tie into the Wells Fargo account. You maxed me out, I'm telling you."
"Credit, man. The credit card won't have nothin' to do with Wells fuckin' Fargo."
The taller man sighed. "All right," he admitted, "you think you know how these things work? But that machine will have just a $300 limit total too."
The blond man flashed a wolfish smile. "Three hunnert, an' another three hunnert, plus the two eighty you had in your wallet - close enough to the thousand you owe us that mebbe we can call it even." He gestured toward the other side of the street and started walking. The others followed his lead.
"I don't owe you anything. This is blackmail, pure and simple."
"Ain't no blackmail. Services rendered. High end. And I'm doin' you a favor, not calling the police and turning you in for rape."
"A sting operation then. A shakedown. A scam."
The girl chimed in, "call it what you want, sweetie. With those bite marks you put on my titties and the welts all over the place down there, plus your DNA smeared all over my pussy inside 'n' out, you're gettin' off cheap, compared to me filing a complaint."
"That's because, if you get greedy, and try to push this scam past just today, there's no way you won't get tangled up with the law. And I gotta say, Janelle, it's all right for him I suppose. But this is one hell of a way you've picked to make a living for yourself."
"I can handle it."
"You like it?"
She adjusted the straps on the tank top that revealed the upper half of her considerable firm cleavage. "I didn't say I liked it. Said I can handle it. Ever' once't in a while. 'Til him and me gets things squared away again and move to Costa Rica."
"Thought you said you and he were just business partners."
"Me and her's giving it a try again," the other man butted in. "Shut up."
"Just trying to figure out why you're going at it the hard way."
They had arrived at the BofA ATM. "Shut the fuck up, willya?" the younger man said. "Gimme the card. What's the PIN?"
"I'll do it," the black man said, "like I said, you're too smart to try to stretch this out past today. You don't need the PIN. It will only get you in trouble."
"I got friends who can make use of it. Gimme the card, Samuel."
With another sigh, Samuel handed him the Visa card. "8. 1. 6. 9," he said grudgingly.
Ron snickered. "Sixty-nine. Ate one, sixty-nine. I knowed you was a pervert, soon's I laid eyes on you." He typed in the digits, pushed a few menu items on the screen, and took the cash the machine gave him.
Samuel held out his hand for the card. "All right. Let's have it back."
Ron shook his head no. "I told you, man. I got uses for it."
The older man ignored this. "And the cash, Ron. The card *and* the cash."
Ron snorted. "Go fuck yourself. They're mine now."
"The card, the cash, and the cash I gave you at the Wells Fargo. Oh, and whatever cash you had before we started all this. I would take what you had too, Janelle, but you don't have a purse with you - and obviously you don't have any cash tucked into your bra, since you aren't wearing one."
"What the *fuck* are you talkin' about, man?" Ron said, his eyes narrowing menacingly. "I ain't givin' back *nothin'*. Why should I?"
Samuel sighed yet again, this time more theatrically. "I guess I'll have to spell it out for you. You realize, don't you, that every transaction at an ATM is video recorded?"
"So? It's just you makin' witdraws."
"And you're in the video, and so is your girlfriend. You were both at the keyboard. They do this precisely to prevent, and *prosecute*, exactly the kind of transaction that just occurred here and across the street."
"You know what, Samuel? I liked you at first, but I don't like you makin' threats. If you was to go to the police, then we'll press those rape charges, and we both know that that will go worse for you than anything they could pin on me 'n' her. Black man, white woman, small town..."
Samuel glanced over at the man's girlfriend, who was looking very uncomfortable. "He doesn't get it. Maybe you want to explain it to him?"
She shook her head, but said to her man, "Ron, maybe we should, you know, just..."
"Shut the fuck *up*, I said. Both of you. I'm not givin' nothin' back."
"All right," Samuel interrupted, "let me spell this out as carefully as I can. There are three ways this can play out. You could hand me back my card, and the cash, all of it. The bank erases the video every month or two, and nobody will bother you after that. Or... I can call the police and tell them that I was robbed at an ATM by a couple of locals and forced to conduct two withdrawals, for which there is video proof, and a license number for your car. Or, number three, you could press these phony rape charges, and then I explain that I was scammed and blackmailed, which is the truth, and again there is the video proof at two separate banks to back me up versus your story, and then you have both robbery and blackmail charges against you. You can pretend that race will be your Get Out of Jail card, but you'll be wrong. I've got a good lawyer. So. Your choice. What's it gonna be?"
