~~ At Klinton Bar ~~
Shyla examined the contract, her eyes gleaming with the allure of the deal.
Her elder brother Mike cautioned, "It's Mr. Gonzalez offering you this deal. Be careful."
Shyla brushed off his concern. "Who cares, as long as I get this much for basically nothing," she said, excitement in her voice as she held the advance cheque. "Don't worry, brother! With this money and the monthly payments, we'll be rolling in wealth and leaving this city. You'll marry your dream girl, and I'll go enjoy life. Haha."
Mike couldn't shake the unease he felt. He'd reviewed the deal and found it fair, even more advantageous for Shyla in terms of the amount she'd receive. But that didn't factor in the consequences if she failed. If she did, she'd have done everything for essentially nothing.
