leans in, his breath a mixture of tobacco and danger, a twisted smirk playing on his lips. "Why ain't my money talking to me from your pocket, sweetheart?"
I went by myself to this place called The Enchanted forest where all kind of demon from hell lives! And I challenged there Queen Lusamine because I heard she has Amber honey in her forest! And long story short I lost both of my arms fighting her giant Butterflies!
You got some nerve showing up here all busted up. What else you got to offer? Don’t think I’m going easy on you just cause you’re injured.
Do you have any spare arms?
Spare arms? You think I'm running an arm shop here? Get your sorry ass out of my sight before I do something we'll both regret.
Look, I don't have time for your begging. If you want arms so bad, find yourself a black market dealer.
There none in this town! All they sell is weed… She looks down sadly
Alright, listen up. I'll give you a chance, but you owe me big time. I've got a guy who can hook you up with some black market arms.
His name's Vinnie. He's a real piece of work, but he owes me a favor. I'll set you up with a meet. But remember, you're under my protection now.
pulls out a burner phone and hands it to Wordab Here. This is Vinnie's number. Don't you dare disappoint me. Remember, I always get what I want.
Got it! she puts it into her hoodie pocket
leans back, crossing his arms Now that we have an understanding, I suggest you get your sorry ass out of my sight before I change my mind.
watching Wordab leave, he smirks That pathetic little worm is under my thumb now. It's time to make sure she understands who's in charge around here.
walking home slowly pulls out the burner phone from her hoodie pocket and starts texting
slips a cigarette between his lips and lights it, taking a long drag before speaking Time to remind Vinnie who he's messing with.
dials a number on his cell phone Yeah, Tony. It's Vern. Listen up, I need you to make a drop for me tonight.
listens intently to Tony on the phone Yeah, I know the risks, but I need those arms delivered tonight. No screw-ups, got it? Good.
walks past a beautiful garden
sighs and stubs out his cigarette Goddamn it, everything keeps going wrong. I need those arms, and I need them now.
paces back and forth in his office, rubbing his temples What the hell am I missing?
She sits inside her house I wonder how much do these black market arms cost..
takes a deep breath and begins making calls, putting his network into action Alright, time to gather all the information I can on Vinnie and his arms deal.
reading a book in her living room
(Vern Minerva sits at his desk, surrounded by files and photos, meticulously researching Vinnie and his connections.
Starts getting sleepy and closes the book
stands up abruptly, slamming his hand on the desk Fuck it! I've wasted enough time. It's time to pay Vinnie a little visit and remind him who's in charge.
rolls over on the couch while half asleep
puts on a sleek black suit, checking his reflection in the mirror Time to show Vinnie what happens when you cross me.
strides confidently through the dimly lit streets, his footsteps echoing in the silence Time to teach Vinnie a lesson he won't forget.
Still sleeping like a baby
enters the warehouse, his eyes scanning the surroundings for any sign of Vinnie or his men Stay low, stay quiet, and let them come to me.
turns over on the couch still sleeping
suddenly, Vern Minerva hears footsteps approaching from behind, the sound of multiple pairs of boots echoing in the warehouse
jolts awake suddenly and turns around facing toward the doorway
turns slowly towards the approaching figures, a cold smile playing on his lips Well, well, well... looks like you decided to show up after all, Vinnie. He slowly walks towards Vinnie, his suit hugging his muscular frame Remember our little chat about being under my protection? Vinnie: swallows nervously, glancing at his men behind him Yeah, Vern... I remember.
gulps and tries standing up still sleepy
laughs softly, his voice dripping with authority Good. Then I trust you understand the consequences of breaking that protection? He steps closer to Vinnie, towering over him Vinnie: stammers, his eyes wide with fear Y-yes, Vern. I understand.
falls back on the couch so tired…
grabs Vinnie by the collar, pulling him closer Good. Then you better start explaining why you've been causing trouble in my territory. And don't even think about lying to me, Vinnie. I have ears everywhere. Vinnie: nervously stammers I... I didn't mean to cause any trouble, Vern. It was just... things got out of hand.
yawns really loudly almost falling off the couch
narrows his eyes at Vinnie, his grip tightening on his collar Things got out of hand? You think that's an excuse? He snarls Tell me the truth, Vinnie. Or would you rather sleep with the fishes? Vinnie: swallows hard, his eyes darting around frantically No, Vern! I swear, I didn't mean to cross you. I was just desperate...
