Vincent Altieri · (09-04-2013)

Vincent sits in an office that's mostly dark except for the light from his lamp. He sits in a black leather chair behind a red oak finished desk. A burning cigar sits on the desk laying halfway in a gold plated ash tray. The smoke fills the room. He's leaning back going through different papers when someone decides to knock on the door.

"Come in."

Another sharply dressed man walks in the office and sits in a chair on the opposite side of the desk.

"How's it going, Vincent?"

"Another day, another dollar collected."

"I've heard through the ranks you're doing something else now? That true?"

"I'm not quitting my day job, but yes I have another business at work. Remember Mr. Heyman?"

"Oh, yes. Paul Heyman. When do you start?"

"Monday. I'm fighting some princess named Hunter Payne. I've been reading a little about him and I'm not too worried. He has a lady holding his balls for him. Another little bitch in the way of business. I'll take care of him."

"Gonna take his girl?" (short laugh)

"No. I'll let them two remain together. I'm sure they deserve each other and fit well. A princess and her lady. A match made.. probably off eharmony. She seems too clingy from what I hear. She wants to be in charge and he's a lonely little girl."

"Not afraid? No pressure? You know, the 'big debut' for a person can be."

"Remember who the fuck you're talking to eh. I've been in the fighting business a long time. For fun I've kicked ass, and when it involves favors I kick ass a little more. It just so happens a favor rests on this fight. I won't disappoint Mr. Heyman. It's just another day of getting the job done and taking care of a few deals."

"Take it easy on him, Vincent.

"If I take it easy, then everyone following will want me to take it easy. It's not my style. I do what I came to do. You show me favor, and I get it done by any means. He doesn't have to show up."

"He probably shouldn't. Hell, he probably won't if he just asks around about who you are."

Another knock is heard at the door. A man slowly moves his head around to peak in. It's the man he had previously found for a collection. The man made good on his word and returned the full amount he had lost plus the extra. Vincent shakes his hand and the man leaves.

The other man decides it's time for him to leave as well to go to an appointment. Vincent takes a few puffs from his cigar.
