Stone Ocean - Chapter 36
Summary
Miraschon bets one thousand dollars that Jolyne and the others can't catch the ball a hundred more times. Jolyne rejects the bet, not trusting Miraschon's integrity, but Ermes accepts it without hesitation. Ermes tells Jolyne to look out for any suspicious activity while she and F.F. play. Ermes and F.F. catch the ball thirty times when F.F. notices other inmates putting the balls away. A guard grabs F.F.'s arm, telling her that it is time to go back inside.
F.F. manages to free her arm and throw it to Ermes. Ermes requests that the bet is held off until tomorrow, but Miraschon denies her. Ermes throws the ball back to F.F. and bribes the guard to give them another few minutes. However, mid-throw, the guard takes Ermes' glove, explaining that the bribe only covers the ball. Ermes barely manages to catch the ball, but does so by using Kiss' stickers. She continues to throw the ball, but, deep in her heart, Ermes knows she cheated. Because of this, The Debt Collector appears.
The Debt Collector approaches Ermes and takes the money hidden in her breasts. However, that is only three hundred and eighty dollars, not nearly enough to pay off the bet. The Stand takes her gold tooth, which is worth only thirty dollars. Ermes tries to fight it off, but nothing can stop Marilyn Manson from collecting its debt.
