*I had been expecting a late delivery of product so when the bell rang it wasn't a surprise. What was a surprise were the giants on the other side of the door holding my boxes.* Ummm hello, thank you but you could have just left them outside the door. *I smiled and attempted to take the boxes from the giants* *Pushing their way inside my apartment and past me, I realized this wasn't an ordinary delivery.

I looked for my phone and was just about to grab it when they headed me off and got to it first." "No need for calling in the cops Miss King. We are all friends here." *the syrupy grin from the, apparent, leader's face was not comforting.* I'm sorry but should I know you? *I knew I didn't but was at a disadvantage and had to say something. This man with the evil grin and bad intentions had one giant guarding the door while the other was at my back. I was stuck.* "Oh, please have a seat and let me introduce myself." *the giant behind me shoved me to the couch where I could either sit myself down or fall down as he shoved me again. I chose to sit myself down.* "All comfy? Good. My name is Noel Starza and I believe you have something of mine."

I'm sorry Mr. Starza but I really haven't a clue what you are referring too. If I missed an order I'm terribly sorry and can fix that error right away. Otherwise, you have me at a loss." *It was at this point my nerves were beginning to kick in and my empathic senses were going haywire. He reeked of evil intent, it washed over me like a scratchy wool blanket and all I wanted to do was itch.* "Oh you dear, sweet dollface. I doubt playing the innocent card suits you well. Your Dan told me all about how you were willing to pay his debt off for him. He even gave us a signed promissory note from you. So, if you will just give me what is owed, we shall be on our way." *His smile reminded me of the cartoon Grinch from those holiday movies. All bad teeth and worse breath. I could kill Dan, maybe I will once I get out of this prediciment he's stuck me in....again!*

I'm sorry but he gave you a forged document. I never saw nor signed a note to pay back that bastard's debt to anyone. He and I haven't spoken in nearly 7 years. There is no way in hell I'd help him out. He's a louse, a cheat, and a scumbag. I'm sorry you wasted your time coming here. Now if you will excuse me, I have orders to fill. *I tried to get up to go but was held down by giant number 2. His squeeze to my shoulders would leave a bruise.* "Oh dollface, I don't care. A promise was made and it shall be kept. You are his next of kin according to the will he signed shortly before his, shall we say, unfortunate disappearance. Therefore, the debt belongs to you regardless of note or not."
