Chapter 49: Reach An Accord

(Ugh. I know it's been agesssss.😭😫 Sue me. But school and work are kicking my asssssss. My grades are good so far, and I'm managing my workload mostly; it's just being exhausted at the end of every day that's the real killer. Plus, the snow and negative-degree weather are really turning me into a monster. But I have updates, things with Scott are meh. I'm not foaming at the mouth for him like I was Cody. But he does what I say and spares no expense to feed me so I'm keeping him around for now while scouting for new recruits. But I'm coming to the realization that men do nothing but irritate me. Regardless, I did make my ex take me to dinner last night and I made my coworker pay for me when we all went out to a bar last weekend. Either way, things are mellowing out. Hope to do something crazy for the plot soon.

I also have updates on my BFF and the married man. God, I never get tired of spilling this tea. How should I put this?

1. This man walked to the river with an entire bottle of painkillers (Advil) and tried to kill himself. 

In my opinion, Advil is literally the weakest painkiller he could've used. If he really wanted to off himself, he could've taken Tylenol PM Extra Strength like a real man, but no. 

2. His wife (soon-to-be ex, hopefully. We'll see) headbutted him and pulled a knife on him. 

He still lives with her.

3. She also has been stealing money from him and tricked him into paying her new bf's car note. 

They still fuck on the couch while he lives there.

4. He currently only stays in his locked office at home and sleeps on a pile of blankets. 

Apparently, he has the money to move, and he owns this house. Her name is not even on the lease. 

5. This wife of his stole his phone and messaged my BFF from HIS number and told her that he's a lying, cheating son of a bitch, and she's just a booty call, and he will drop her someday. 

I meaaaan😬😬😬I don't trust men as far as I can throw them, but she may be right. 

6. The wife also found my BFFs mom's Facebook and messaged her, warning her mother that her daughter was sleeping with a married man. She messaged my BFFs sister, same message, just slightly changed. She messaged our other BFF, and she messaged ME. 

I haven't said a word back, but I so want to omfg. I wish yinz could see the message. This bitch sent a novel. 

That's about the gist of it. Hopefully, I have some of my own juicy news next month. Nothing as crazy as this, though. 

Hope to post again soon. Love ya to piecesss.)

[Downtown Republic City] - Viper's Cadillac

"Hmph. Nice to see you again Mako," Shin smirked from the driver's seat, his gun sitting proudly in his lap,
"Can't say the same," Mako snapped back at him, "And just because I'm unarmed doesn't mean I won't choke you with your seatbelt,"
"Oh, don't worry. Our time will come eventually," Shin threatened with a sly grin, "If I really wanted to hurt you, I would've sped through that intersection and left you both crippled in the street,"
"Why am I here Viper?" Mako breathed frustratedly,
"Hmph. Straight to business as usual," Viper grinned as he relit his cigar and puffed quickly, "I just figured before things get...dicey. You and I could reach an accord,"
"What kind of an accord?"
"The kind where you and the rest of your little lackeys at the RCPD stop looking into my line of work,"
"In exchange?" Mako questioned with his arms crossed,
"I let you have my future fiance to yourself–
"Don't. Test. Me," Mako hissed, burning Viper's cigar to a crisp with his bending while it was still in his mouth,
"Hmph. Fine," Viper chuckled, "I can tell she's a sensitive subject for you, but I mean it. After this ride, she's all yours,"
"I didn't necessarily need your permission—
"But you do need me to release her of her duties to the Triple Threats,"
"She walked away years ago. It's not her fault you were too damn stubborn to let her go–
"What you call stubborn, I call keeping a watchful eye," Viper hissed, "You think Shah actually cares about her? He only brought her with him to this city to stick it to his father one last time before leaving for good. It doesn't take a blind man to see that he always thought she was dead weight,"
"That's...not true," Mako breathed,
"Ha! Not true!? He tried to kill her!" Viper scoffed in disbelief, "I kept her under my wing to protect her,"
"Bullshit,"
"Okay. Fine. I still needed her...talents but at the end of the day. I'm right about Shah," Viper breathed frustratedly before he went quiet, "He...he never loved the fact that I loved her,"
"Hmph. He's not the only one,"
"And now that you love her and want me gone. I want the same,"
"And how exactly am I supposed to do that? Huh?" Mako snapped, "Your line of work isn't exactly quiet. Or legal,"
"What if I testify against him? Put the whole operation on Shah," Viper proposed with a sly grin, "I mean..." he smiled evilly, "It was his dream to run the Triple Threats. He practically begged to do it after he hid her from me,"
"Yeah. If you can catch him," Mako chuckled,
"What's that supposed to mean?" Viper questioned,
"It means. Shah managed to get himself captured by the Dai Li,"
"What!?" Viper growled in disbelief, "Shin!"
"I-I didn't mention that?" Shin breathed sheepishly,
"And I have no jurisdiction in Ba Sing Se," Mako informed him sternly, "The only reason I wasn't captured myself is because they don't care for cops. But you moonlight as a twisted criminal, so you might have better luck," he teased,
"How in the hell do you expect me to go up against the Dai Li!? They've been building their numbers for centuries!"
"Hey, you want me to look the other way? You bring Shah back here," Mako ordered, "Hell, if you manage to bring Kuvira back too, I'll have the Chief personally hand you the key to the city,"
"Kuvira? Of Zaofu? The crazy hot chick that destroyed half the town? She's wrapped up in this?"
"Don't get me started," Mako scoffed in annoyance, "All you need to know is the Dai Li has them both. Where? I don't know," he breathed in defeat, "But what I do know is that's our deal. Take it or leave it," Mako huffed, "Shin, pull over. We're done here,"
