"You don't have to live a life of danger or trouble to be interesting, Tony." Maya said. "So, why business. Why not law school or....culinary school or something else?" She prodded, cursing her own curiosity. He fascinated her with his quietness. He was mysterious, and she liked that.

Despite her shopping plans, Inu ended up propping open the back door to The Dagger, sitting on the staircase and arguing with the bank about a loan she had paid off, but they insisted she hadn't. She took a drag from her cigarette and snarled,

"Look, that loan was taken out years ago. I paid it off with in the first two years. How can you tell me that 25,000 dollars just doesn't show up in your records?!"

"Miss. Sunico, I'm sorry, but we have no record of you ever paying that loan."

"And you're just now telling me this, three years later? What the hell?!"

"Miss. Sunico I'm going to put this very simply for you. Either you pay us the money you owe us, or the bank will foreclose on your club." The sickly calm voice of the woman on the other end had Inu grinding her teeth. "We expect payment by the end of the month. Have a good day."

"Don't you dar--" The line went dead. "Son of a bitch!" She screamed, throwing her phone to the ground.
