THE DOG'S DAY

"So I've heard you have something for me? " I ask emotionless and impatiently so he knows I don't have time to waste and whatever he has better be good.

"Hi I'm Feng Mian . I hear you are the boss lady around here. " He says calmly with a small smile extending a hand for me to shake.

I look down at his hand and then back to his eyes and the temptation to twist it is so much. My bite my teeth together to contain my annoyance and impatience.

"Okay then boss lady, I'll skip to the chase. " He says covering up for my hurting of his ego by outrightly ignoring his hand.

Please!

"So I have valuable information about the revenue generated and used by the Infinity. I hear you are interested in that info? " He asks with a naughty smile playing on his lips.

I play along. Bat my eyelashes a little. Bite on my bottom lip seductively and back him on a corner. I press my body onto his and lean in until I reach his ear.

He is quick to hold my waist and pull me even closer. I can feel him sniffing my neck. That makes something in me snap. So I run my tongue slowly around his ear then abruptly stop and bite down hard on his ear I could taste the familiar metallic ness of the blood. He yelps.

"What ever info you have on the Infinity I'm getting it even if it means torturing it out of you. Now that I'm still in a good mood would be the best time to speak because you don't walk into a dragon's dogma and expect to be king. You eat dogs? Imagine how those stray ones in the streets would love to eat your roasted balls... " I trail of and pull away to let him think about what he would rather happens.

I'm that kind!

"Fine, fine, I will tell you. There was no need to eat me you know. " He complains massaging his ear.

When that heals, it will leave a scar. He'll remember me by that. Dad would be proud to know I've been leaving marks all over people that cross my paths just like he taught me.

"So speak! I don't have all night here. " I say impatiently narrowing my eyes at him.

Good thing I'm taller than him. I get to put my chin up and look down at him. Now he knows who's boss.

"Uh, well I have been in business with them for a while. Those people are ruthless. They made me invest millions in their business only to play me in the end. As we speak, I'm on the run. I ran away with some of their stash in order to repay some part of my money. You know I got loans and grants from my country promising them I got a project on going in Africa. They will have my neck if I don't have that money soon. " He pauses scratching the back of his neck and eyes darting around.

I see the tip of his ears reddening slightly.

"I would say next time don't use Africa as an excuse to get illegal money. But there is no next time for you, is there? " I ask with a little smirk .

"I need protection and I will give you info, I will give you addresses and tell you the moles they have in the government. " He says nodding frankly.

"The government? " I ask a little startled.

I guess I underestimated the enemy. Major fault. But no matter, I'm still working on my plan.

"Yes, that's why they are a little careless some times because they know they will be protected... " I cut him off with a raised hand as I turn around to find Livo trying to eavesdrop on our conversation.

I rub my forehead sighing. Livo still doesn't know we are looking at him.

"Livo, I can talk to the man by myself. " I say calmly.

He stiffens at the mention of his name. He then slowly looks at me with a guilty look on his face. He raises his hands in surrender and leaves slowly looking between Feng and I. I wonder what is up with him. And why he's been listening to our conversation.

"You were saying? " I demand giving the China man my attention again.

"You trust that guy? " He asks slowly.

"Just say what you are here to say. I don't need you questioning my men's loyalty. " I snap at him.

"Alright then, well I was saying they are a tough bunch but no man is invincible. You know about the Temperance insurance company? " He asks.

I raise my eyebrows.

"Everyone knows about that insurance company. " I answer not sure where he's going with this.

"If you think it's an innocent insurance company, rethink that. They use that to transport millions in cash to the banks. So while other mafia family keep their money in abandoned warehouses, they transport it in broad daylight right through the streets. And everyone applauds them for being the best insurance company. " He explains.

Damn ,we should have thought of that. I start to think maybe there's a lot of things I overlooked while evaluating the enemy. But I'm glad I found it out soon. This means I'll have to dig more into them and most importantly, plan a money heist.

"Those addresses you talked about, I'll be needing them. There any more info you have for me ?" I ask hopefully.

Now I start to see the many links I'm missing in my plot. Maybe what I need is not time but information on the enemy and then I'll walk right into their den to take them out even if it means going down with them.

"Yes actually . And woman please, I need protection. Won't be long before their guys here get wind of the Chinese man who supplies goods with the Infinity logo. Then they'll come for me. I want to have an alliance with you. I hope I could get under your wing. I'll even take a percentage of the sale if you could repackage with the poison Ivy logo. I just want to survive okay? " He negotiates.

Free stock, that I earn a percentage from? I should accept that real quick. But I don't. I have to let the guy stir in his own juice for a while.

"You have something for me? " I ask giving him a challenging look that dares him to deviate from the subject again and find out my true colors.

"The Infinity have a very big and powerful enemy. He just doesn't have anything on them yet. But he could take care of them really quick. " He says smirking.

I smirk too. But before I could push for more information, Livo appears out of nowhere panting heavily.

"Boss, we have a situation. " He says in between heavy breaths.

I nod in his direction and wait till he disappears before I give Feng my card.

"We'll continue this conversation. " I say in a serious tone so he doesn't forget to call me.

But whom am I kidding, the guy is very desperate, he'll call.
