"[color=fdc68a]You were late! Flyer says 10 minutes or pizza is free?[/color]" 

Harley stared blankly at the balding and overweight gentleman with slight annoyance, "S[color=fff200]ir. Yous called at exactly 9:35. I took the downtown route and still made it here in under 8 minutes. That is what one might call a fuckin' miracle. Myself. I call it pure bonefide talent. Now give me the money you owe, so I can get back in enough time to clock out and go home.[/color]"

He gave a greasy smile and grabbed the door, "[color=fdc68a]You was late, cutie! I'm not paying, and you can tell your boss that if he wants his money, he should send a guy who knows how to drive in time.[/color]" 

Harley grit her teeth, "[color=fff200]You son of a...[/color]"

Suddenly the door was shut in her face and she clenched her fists, rage bubbling just below the surface. [i][color=fff200]Motherfuckin' scumbag! A minimum wage for fucking this.[/color][/i]

She let out a breath before she turned heading down the apartment stairs out into the streets, kicking a garbage can over as she made her way to her car. It was a rusty black Camaro, but she loved it more than anything in the world. She had wasted two years worth of savings for it, and she treated it like it was her pride and joy. She slammed her hands onto the wheel still fuming. [i]Now Fario is going to take that out of my paycheck. Shit. I'm gonna be late on rent. AGAIN! It's just my night![/i]

She took in a breath then started the car making her way back to the pizza shop. After arriving, she explained the situation to the boss only to hear her wages would be shortened. AGAIN! She just nodded then headed back to the locker room, pulling off her red and yellow visor and blouse, replacing it with an Iron Maiden T-shirt, leather jacket, and her backpack. She kept on her jeans and black converse all-stars before heading out into the front room of the joint. She had almost made it to the door when she noticed Freddie sitting in a corner. She turned to look at him, noting his tall thin form. He was handsome with roughed brown hair, green eyes, and light stubble. His puppy dog expression was lit up by the neon 'OPEN' light shining over her face, and she knew that this visit could only mean one thing. Trouble. A small silence grew until he opened his mouth and she pushed the door open, "[color=fff200]NO Freddie![/color]" 

She headed out into the parking lot moving over to her car when he was caught up to her, "[color=7bcdc8]I haven't even asked you yet! Come on..Sis...[/color]"

She stopped, "[color=fff200]So you are gonna ask me somethin'. You've been gone for a month, Freddie. Look...I don't have any money. I don't have any savings. I sold Ma's apartment. I ain't got nothin'. Okay.[/color]" 

He bit his bottom lip, placing down a black case he was holding, "[color=7bcdc8]Look. I'm not here ta ask for money. It's nothin' like that. I'm clean. I promise. No more drugs. Look at my eyes. Clean.[/color]"

Harley looked away then looked up at him, noting that he didn't look like he was on anything. He was a king of liars and she had been burned multiple times, "[color=fff200]Then what do you want?[/color]"

He leaned down grabbing his case, "[color=7bcdc8]I just need you to deliver this. Just bring this case over to an address and then that's it. Last thing I will ever ask of you. Promise.[/color]" 

She looked at the case, shaking her head, "[color=fff200]Of course. It's always one more favor with you. Why can't you take it yaself?[/color]"

He gave her a charming smirk, "[color=7bcdc8]Cause. I slept with this guy's sista alright! I owe him some money...and if I show up there to give it to him, he is going to kick me ass. Yous tougha then me. Plus he won't do anything to you.[/color]" 

Harley groaned, "[color=fff200]I can't believe I'm even considerin' this. You always do shit like this Fred! When the hell are you going to grow up. I CAN'T KEEP DOIN' THIS SHIT FOR YOU![/color]" 

He grabbed her hand and stared at her with soft eyes, "[color=7bcdc8]Harley. Please. I really do mean it this time. You've been like a second mom to me, and I know you've done everything you could to try for me. I appreciate it and I love you more than anyone. This is the last thing...Really.[/color]" 

Harley stared at him, taken aback by his honesty, "[color=fff200]Fred...I.[/color]" 

He gave her the case then pulled her into a hug, "[color=7bcdc8]I need you to do this for me...I love you alright." He pulled back and gave her a napkin, "Here. These are the instructions. Go to this address and give the case to this guy. Make sure he opens the case in front of you, and get confirmation that he agree's to tha deal. Okay?[/color]"

Harley lifted up her hand and placed it on his cheek, "[color=fff200]Al..Alright, but this is it, Freddie. Alright. No more after this.[/color]" 

He kissed her hand then pulled away, "[color=7bcdc8]I promise. Love ya Harls...[/color]"

She shook her head, "[color=fff200]Love ya Fred.[/color]" 

She headed to her car with the case thrown into the seat beside her. She turned to look at her brother, who seemed to be holding something back, his expression soft, only cracking into tears when she had driven off to her destination and a whole new world, she never knew existed.
