Her heels clinked against the marble floor turning head as she netted the station. Her shades made the people wonder what her eyes looked like.

She carried herself with so much grace they wondered what a beautiful woman like her had come to the station for.

Anna could see where the sheriff was standing and she could tell by how quickly his mood had changed that he was excited to see her.

She knew it was because of the money that she was about to give him. She was big stupid though he had to sign some documents for him to get the payments.

"Hello ", he greeted her as she leaned on to kiss her cheek.

"Hello ", Anna said as she took off her shades.

"I wasn't expecting to see you today ", the sheriff said as he opened the door of his office letting in Anna first.

"Well I had some business to take care of in town and decided to drop by because I had something for you ", Anna said as she set down her bag Nd took the chair next to it.

His office resembled that of any man only that the cologne in the office mostly smelled like that of a woman.

There were family pictures though on the table and she wondered if he covered them whenever another woman was in there with him.

She could see prints on the table of an ass and she knew that someone had been there, a woman. That didn't even bother her, what bothered her was why the table was not wiped to the point you could see the print of someone's ass if they sat on them.

Anna turned to look at the other police officers and she could see one particular lady eyeing her. She was the one

The sheriff noticed and went and pulled down the blinds on the window giving themselves some privacy.

"What do you have for me ?", he asked her as he took a seat across from her and folded his hands in Infront of him.

"Well I have your payment for the shipment and I also have some documents that I need you to sign ", Anna said as she pulled two envelopes from her bag and set them on the table.

"Why do I need to sign some documents ?", the sheriff asked as he took the envelope that had the documents to see what they entailed.

"Well my boss isn't a man who trusts a lot of people and he just wants to make sure you won't ask for more after a while ", Anna said and she knew perfectly that wasn't the reason.

It had been her idea the whole time. She wanted to have the sheriff by his balls. She wanted him eating off her hands and not being able to do anything that was against her will.

"I won't change the percentage I am asking for ", the sheriff said.

"Well I believe you but he doesn't believe anything someone else other than himself says.

"What if he uses this against me ?", the sheriff asked Anna.

"Why would he do that, you are the only person that's thinking of that possibility. He just wants to make sure everything is the way it's supposed to be ", Anna said.

Anna was slowly plotting her plan and getting whatever she wanted. She was using the men in her life like pawns.

Making sure each and any one of them had something that they could offer her. He was going to keep them all close until she had whatever she wanted.

She was no better than a man. Using people to get whatever he wanted.Not caring about a single soul and what or who they would lose in the quest for her to get what she wanted.

They enable cared about her either. The only reason she was in their lives was because she had something that she could offer.

"Okay then", the sheriff said as he took a peek out of his pocket and signed it.

"Will you be signing it ?", he asked her as she handed her the document.

"No it's not my place to do that, Neegan will sign it ", she said as she put it back in the envelope and returned it to her bag

Anna was shocked not to hear that Scarface had yet to report his child missing He knew what the consequences of that would be and did not want to know what Neegan would do if he did anything no matter how small trying to hurt him and his business.

"Now I think that's all for today ", Anna said as she took her bag and was ready to leave.

"Okay, if he wants me to do anything for him tell him am ready for anything ", the sheriff said smiling and Anna wondered how he could be so stupid.

A man like him begged for any attention he could get from Neegan. He was like his little fan and the only reason he lived was if he would ever get a chance to sit at the same table with Neegan.

Slowly and slowly he was starting to get into her plan and she wondered if it would go the way she wanted it to but there was no reason for her to change things.

"If there is anything that he wants you to do I will tell you ", Anna said and left his office.

The eyes followed her as she left the office. They were all left wondering what it was she had come there to do.

That wasn't the only question they had in mind though. She was someone new. Someone they had never seen in town and was somehow cozy with their boss. Got many thinking but that did not bother Anna at all, the sheriff was not stupid enough to tell her because he was also incriminating himself if he did.

She had achieved all that he was supposed to achieve and all she needed to do was board a plane and go see Vincenzo.

They needed to have a conversation and no matter how ready she thought she was she knew that it wasn't as easy as she thought it was going to be.

It is hard to be done though.
