They left Eddie's place shortly after they had arranged a meeting with Nathan Blanchard. Josephine didn't know much about this man, all she knew was he was powerfully rich, did some illegal trading business and Uncle Eddie didn't like him one bit.
Josephine held her arms out as she was searched by one of Blanchard's guards. Richie and her were dressed nicely. Him in his black suit as per usual and Josephine was in a rather short dress she was borrowing from Santanico. It was a black dress that was tight around her curves and had a sheer lace bodice. Her light hair laid in her usual loose waves and her makeup was done to absolute perfection with the help of Santanico.
Looking past everything that happened the night at the Titty Twister, Josephine enjoyed Santanico's company. It was nice to actually be around another girl, being held up with Seth all this time.
The bodyguard finished searching them and her attention laid on the relaxed man sat in a chair, talking on the phone with some guy named Jimmy. Josephine couldn't understand why they were dressed up for a man who wore a tacky tourist button up shirt and worn out jeans.
Noticing Josephine and Richie walking towards him, who told whoever was on the phone to hang on, "Can I get you two a snack or something? You look like you could use one."
Josephine sat down in the chair in front of him, Richie sitting beside her. "No thanks, we're good," Richie said.
He said goodbye to the man he was on the phone with and drank his drink which, Josephine had to stop herself from throwing up seeing how disgusting the beverage looked. It was obviously some sort of health smoothie but that didn't mean it looked good, especially with the nasty green color.
"We'll get right to it, Mr. Blanchard," Josephine spoke up, "My name is Josephine Reed and this is my partner, Richard Sanz. Now, we are not flesh traders. Mostly he boosts merch and transports the cargo and I make sure everything runs smoothly."
Richie took it from there, "Recently, we acquired a truck. Just so happens, it was full of precious goods." Richie paused as the man in front of them nodded his head slowly, "Immigrant girls."
"Uh-oh," He said rather emotionless.
"Seeing as I'm in charge of making things run smoothly, I know things. I do my research. I've looked into the trades and we've come to find we like the returns. Then, I really got to thinking," As Josephine spoke, Richie set a tablet on the table in between them, "with our connections south of the border, we might be able to make this happen on the regular."
As Richie set up the tablet he continued, "I reached out to Eddie and he mentioned your name. Question is, are you interested in some new suppliers?"
He turned the tablet on to show a immigrant girl that Richie and Santanico had captured. There were other immigrant girls, but she was the star show as of right now. Richie turned the tablet around so the man could watch her dance to the music playing in the background.
