"I don't know about this Rose."

Delvin paced his apartment while Vivienne sat down on his couch, feet crossed across his coffee table.

"What's the problem? I just need the tech to be able to get into Genesis' databanks and find out what's going on. Shouldn't be hard for you."

Delvin stopped pacing. "It's not that I can't get it, it's that I don't know if I should. I've heard rumors about Genesis, Rose, and not very good rumors either. They are up to something there. This isn't like the other corporations who are dirty due to money laundering or extortion or what have you. This is deeper and more dangerous. In good conscious, I don't know if I could give you this tech."

Vivienne got up and walked towards Delvin's window that overlooked the city, "Well, either I get it from you or I go to someone else." It was a subtle threat, but a threat none the less. She felt icky inside after she said it. She never wanted to threaten her friends, but she needed to do this. This was bigger than her, bigger than her pay. Yeah she wanted to find out about her past, but if some business was taking strides to completely wipe themselves off the web, then they are playing dirty games.

Delvin was, understandably, pissed. "That's where it went, huh? Fine, I'll give it to you. But I don't want it coming down on me when you get busted or worse. Give me 24 hours and it's yours. Now get out."

Vivienne was about to say something, but thought against it. She already pushed his last button, she didn't need to cement it. She hated herself. She walked out of his apartment and he slammed the door behind her. He would understand, she thought to herself, if he doesn't already. She needed this.
