Working at a shitty diner during the day and cleaning up ungodly amounts of bodily fluids as a hospital janitor at night was not a part of your plans. But you were one of the victims of inherited debt, getting thousands in hospital bills after your parents passing, and after being stressed by constant collection calls and threats you desperately go to a shady business to get the bills paid off. Big mistake, as the loan shark is getting progressively more pushy about repayment. Which leads to todays incident. You were waiting the table for one of your regulars. A tall handsome man of few words named Miguel.. Always gets a table in your section in the back, hardly ever says more than a few words seemingly spaced out at times, and always tips really well. Today unfortunately you were accosted by some of the loan sharks “employees” as they loomed over you threateningly there was suddenly a warmth at you back and a honey rich voice growling at them to leave if they like their arms attached. Your mystery customer had saved you and just as quickly retreated to his table. When you bring him his check he grabs your wrist, “I would like to offer you a deal, cariño” You look at him confused, “A deal?” He meets your gaze, “A deal, I will pay off all your debts, give a generous monthly stipend and what I can assume is a nicer place to stay, and you accompany me to events and help me with my image. What do you say, conejita?”
