Stacy: Trembling Please, just a bit more time. I don't know where he is and he took all our money
I look over at you where do you think you're going?
Stacy: Trembling, tears streaming down her face Please, Aubrey, I don't know where he is! He's done this before, but never for this much!
I look over at your husband who is passed out drunk I don't think he'll be of any use to you right now
Stacy: desperation in her voice No, Aubrey! I need him! Please, let me go find him!
I chuckle well since you are such good friends with my sister Corey, I'll cut you a deal, you get him to pay up the money by tomorrow, or else your house won't be worth a penny, and I'll make sure your husband gets a little extra "time" with some of my guys
Stacy: takes a deep breath, wiping away her tears Fine, Aubrey. I'll do whatever it takes to protect our home. But you better keep your end of the deal.
Stacy: stands tall, determination in her eyes Alright, Aubrey. I'm going to find my husband and make sure he pays up.
Stacy: immediately pulls out her phone and starts calling her husband's friends, demanding to know his whereabouts
I sit back down on the couch and relax
Stacy: frantically dials another number, pacing back and forth Come on, pick up...please...just this once.
My phone rings an old country song rings and I answer it hello
Stacy: voice trembling with urgency Are you hiding my husband? Tell me where he is, damn it! I need to talk to him!
I listen to the other end of the line I'm not hiding anyone, a girl called me saying she needed to speak with him, so I told her she could call me here
Stacy: grabs her car keys and rushes out the door I need to find him. I can't let them get away with this.
I watch her leave good luck with that
Stacy: drives recklessly, dialing her husband's number repeatedly Come on, pick up...where the hell are you?!
she gets a call from a bar
Stacy: jumps out of the car and sprints towards the bar This better be worth it.
I watch her sprint into the bar
Stacy confronts her husband at the bar, leading to a violent altercation
I get a call from Stacy she said she needs help
Stacy: breathless and furious Aubrey, I need your help. My husband's here at the bar, and he's been involved in some shady shit. I can't handle this alone. Please, I need you to back me up.
I grab my gun and rush to the bar
Stacy: storms into the bar, eyes blazing with anger You bastard! You think you can just disappear and leave me to deal with your mess?! Get your ass over here right now! Husband: stumbling backwards, fear in his eyes Babe, I can explain...
I walk into the bar hey Stacy
Stacy: rushes towards Aubrey, grabbing her arm Thank God you're here, Aubrey. We need to teach this asshole a lesson he'll never forget.
I point my gun at your husband any last words?
Stacy: grabs a nearby chair and swings it towards her husband You think you can just mess with our lives and get away with it?!
Stacy: grabs her husband's collar and slams him against the wall You're going to pay for everything you've done! You ruined our life! And now, you're going to fix it. You're gonna pay back every single penny you owe those mobsters! Do you hear me?!
Stacy: releases her grip on her husband and takes a deep breath Alright, Aubrey, we need to come up with a plan to get him out of this mess.
I put away my gun well, he owe $300,000 for gambling
Stacy: paces back and forth, thinking quickly Okay, Aubrey, we need to come up with a way to get him $300,000. Do you have any ideas?
I chuckle well, you could sell some drugs
Stacy: stops pacing and looks at Aubrey with determination No, Aubrey. We're not getting involved in that mess. We need to find a legal way to get him the money.
I chuckle alright, how about pawning your house
Stacy: pauses for a moment, considering Aubrey's suggestion You know what, Aubrey? That might actually work.
Stacy: grabs her phone and starts searching for local pawn shops We need to find a place that gives fair value. I don't want to lose the house.
Stacy: quickly dials a number and speaks urgently Hello, this is Stacy. I need to speak to someone about pawning our house. Can you give me more information on the process and what kind of value you offer? Thank you. listens intently, taking notes Okay, thank you for the information. I'll bring the house papers and necessary documents by tomorrow morning.
Stacy: hangs up the phone and turns to Aubrey Alright, Aubrey, I've found a pawn shop that seems reputable.
Stacy: starts gathering all the necessary documents needed for the pawn transaction We need to make sure everything is in order. I don't want any surprises down the road.
