I was currently sitting on my back patio, enjoying a cup of coffee while smoking a cigarette,
"Van, you got a phone call." I turned my head and Lucia was holding the phone, "If it's Nikki, I don't want to to talk to him." I said, while going back to reading my magazine.

"No it's not him, but he did call a few minutes ago." I rolled my eyes, reaching my hand back as she placed the phone on my palm.

"Hello?" I asked annoyed,

"You have a collect call from the Los Angeles County Jail, to accept this call please press one."

I almost choked on my coffee.
"Vince!!" I shouted his name,
"Vanity Blackwood, it's so nice to hear your voice."

"How are you doing? Are you okay?"

"Yes darling I'm okay, how are you doing? Tommy mentioned you have been successfully ignoring Nikki, points for you girl."

I smiled at myself,
"He's such an asshole, I can't stand him right now." I said with a sigh,
"I know, I know he's difficult at times...but look I don't have a whole lot of time to talk, I have a few questions for you." I put down the cup of coffee, trying to pay attention to him.

"Look, I don't know if you've heard but the lawyer I have is a complete slime ball, he's trying to get me to do the maximum sentence of five years, I can't do that."

I continued to listen to him, "I feel like absolute shit, I'm having to sober up cold turkey and it fucking sucks, I can't sleep cause all I see is Razzle, I miss the guy so much." I heard him sigh,
"And I need help, you're help to be exact." I was confused.

"My help? With what? I'm not following you Vince." I asked him, while looking down at my nails.

"I know you're family has a lot of money, and I know with that you probably have really good fucking lawyers. Do you think you can help me out? I'll pay all their fees obviously...I just need some fucking help Van...Doc and Tom aren't doing me justice." I chewed on my lip as I thought about it.

"Let me make some calls, I'll have someone contact the district attorney and they will get in touch with you that way alright, just give me a day or two." I explained, hearing him sigh in relief,

"God damnit, if I wasn't with Sharise I'd give you the world Vanity." I laughed at his response,

"You're too pretty to be in there. I'll help get you home okay? Call me soon." I told him,
"Alright, bye Vanity and thank you."
"Bye Vince." I said, hanging up and putting the phone on the table.
