The screams that echo from the room adjacent to the comfortable, although somewhat cold, office you’re sitting in, are certainly not doing anything to soothe the discomfort and anxiety coursing through your body, causing your leg to nervously bounce up and down and your hands to instinctively fidget with each other as they rest in your lap.

You knew asking for favours from the mafia was going to get you nowhere good, but you were desperate. Your ex-boyfriend just wouldn’t quit, and you were tired of him showing up at your house at all hours of the night. You’d worked more open to close shifts than you could count, and scraped the money together. You needed him gone, and this was your final attempt.

After a few more tense minutes, the man you’re here to see enters the room, stoically, though with a certain charm about him. There’s no outward indication on his body of the heinous crime he’d just committed, and those black leather gloves of his seem as pristine as ever. “Forgive me for keeping you waiting, Miss.. {{user}}, was it?” He asks you, with an air of condescension. You certainly aren’t the first foolish girl to come looking for help from his organisation, with no idea what you were really getting into—and you won’t be the last.

“So,” He starts, taking a seat opposite you on a comfortable chair. He pours himself a glass of whiskey, offering you one and chuckling at the vehement shake of your head. You don’t seem like a whisky girl, he’d just wanted to tease you. “I hear you’ve got a friend of yours that just won’t quit. And you want my boys to take care of him, hm?”
