Helpless Addiction

It's Just Good Business

"We had a deal Daniel" Vivian said with a stern look and voice.

"I know we did but I couldn't get the money for you. I'm sorry" Daniel said shaking.

Vivian sighed and looked around noticing someone watching them, someone dressed in a nice suit and a flat cap.

"Follow me. Someone is watching." She said dragging Daniel with her down a dark ally.

As they got to the end of the ally she pulled out a gun and pointed it at Daniel, who closed his eyes and started crying.

Vivian rolled her eyes knowing the strange man is still listening "Pathetic. Pull yourself together. I'm not going to kill you. Not yet." she said.

"Thank you!" He yells hugging her

"Get the hell of me!" Vivian pushes him up against the wall. "You have 2 weeks Daniel. I know you make good money. You have a family, don't make me take you away from them. So I expect payment in 2 weeks. Understood?" She says straight faced and stern.

Daniel look at her and hesitates "I-i'm not sure I'll be able too. Ms. Lee I-" she interrupts "Shut up." she covers his mouth and he doesn't try to do anything. Looking around she spots the man again listening.

"2 weeks Daniel or I'll kill your wife. I'll go through your whole family until I get that money. Enjoy your withdraw symptoms." She said as she walks away. She stops as Daniel speaks once more,

"Ms. Lee we grew up together. You can't do this to me! Please I'll do anything." He yells.

Vivian spins around on her heels, "Anything? Ay?" she says walking over to him.

"Yes. Anything for my family." He states with confidence.

She pauses to think "Do you know who Billy Kimber is?" she says as she glances at the man listening, finally realizing it's a Shelby.

Daniel gulps "I do. He fixes races."

Vivian shows a slight smirk "Find him. I have other people to hunt down. Take this gun in case" she hands him a gun "If you find him, befriend him, if he asks you don't know me. You're a detective Daniel, ask questions but not to many. Learn his plans and meet back here next Tuesday. Deal?" She finishes putting her hand out for him to shake.

"Deal" They shake hands and go their separate ways. As Vivian walks aways she purposefully passes the man that was listening and stops in front of him.

She stops and looks at him "I was wrong." He looks at her "Not a Shelby, a Gray. However, the nice suit flap hat with razors, you made it too obvious" she pauses "Betrayal is a hard thing to find when you trust everyone around you. Thats why I work alone." She stops waiting for him to answer but nothing.

She smirks "Have a good day...Micheal" as she says his name his eyes widen. They hadn't met before how did she know who he was.

"How do you know me?" Yells Micheal.

She turns to him "It's just good business." She says as she walks away.
