[color=8493ca][b]"You little brat! You owe me that information, I paid you! I'm a very powerful man and you will regret it."[/b]

[b][color=fff79a]"Me, a brat? Mr. Harthing I didn't know you were such an insulting man - and correction, you paid me HALF of the money. You should know by now that I won't give you anything unless you pay me in full."[/color][/b]

Tao sat in the comfort of his bedroom, leaning back in a plush chair as he stared at his custom-built computer. A burner cellphone was pressed to his ear, an annoyed look on his face. He had all the information this guy wanted right in front of him and it hadn't been easy to get. Seething Pharmaceuticals had an excellent firewall and anti-hacking software, he had almost gotten caught on more than one occasion and downloading the information from their severs had been extremely risky. A sigh slipped past his lips as he pinched the bridge of nose shaking, shaking his head slightly. [color=fff79a][b]"Mr. Harthing, you should know by now that I am fully capable of making you pay me."[/b][/color]

He could hear the man on the other end huff and puff, [color=8493ca][b]"Listen here you punk, give me the information or else!"[/b][/color] Tao lifted a brow at his audacity, he really thought he could threaten him into giving him what he wanted? Well jokes on him. Tao let out a small laugh as he kicked his feet up onto his desk, grinning. [color=fff79a][b]"Oh Mr.Harthing, your much more stupid than you sound. I'm most certain that you don't want your wife to know about the affair your having with your secretary, do you? Or perhaps the fact that said lover is pregnant for a second time, the first time you forced her to have an abortion. Oh, I could reveal to the world about how Avanir Pharmaceuticals does animal testing - just think about how everyone would love that little tid bit."[/b][/color]

Tao could hear Mr. Harthing practically seizing on the other end of the phone, he had learned a long time ago to dig up stuff on his clients, the only way to make sure he got paid was to blackmail them sometimes. It wasn't the most pleasant thing to do in the world but it definitely got the job done. A moment of silence ensued, he had no doubt that Mr. Harthing was contemplating his options but if he was a decently smart man he would know that there was really only one that made sense.

[color=8493ca][b]"Fine...you'll have your money by the end of the day."[/b][/color] His response had a defeated tone to it, this made Tao grin. It was like playing the ultimate game of chess, and he had just won the game. [color=fff79a][b]"Thank you for your time sir! You'll get what you want then as soon as I see the money."[/b][/color] With that Tao hung up the call and sighed. He snapped the cellphone in half, discarding the broken device into the trash bin next to his desk. He just sat there for awhile, staring at the screen at he thought about what he should do next. Mr. Harthing was the only client he had at the moment so once he got the money he'd be quite bored.

He wished that Paige had some random thing she wanted him to do, he hadn't done anything remotely as interesting as when they went down and found all that cash. Got there was so much of it, he practically drooled just thinking about getting his hands on it. Tao groaned as he pushed his chair away from his desk and stood up, moving over to his bed and flopping down onto it. He needed some excitement in his life, doing the same stuff with these arrogant politicians and CEO's just weren't cutting it anymore.
