An awkward meeting

Early the next morning, Amanda called Steve to find out if he was ready to leave, so that she could meet up with him at his place. When he replied in the affirmative, she set off for his place and not long after, arrived with a hefty man in tow.

“Um … who the hell is that?” Steve asked as he and the stranger sized each other up.

“He’s my friend, Logan. He’s going to be of big help to us.”

“What the fuck is this, Amanda? It’s him I’m doing the job for?” Logan asked, clearly displeased.

Amanda had some nerve. How dare she bring him to meet her boy toy with his pretty face without first giving him a warning.

“Well, do you want the job or not? He’s going to pay you quite handsomely, aren't you, Steve?” Amanda asked Steve, smiling sweetly.

“Uh-huh.” Steve replied non-committally, wondering what ‘the job’ was and deciding immediately that he was better off not knowing. Whatever it was, as long as it got him out of the predicament in which he found himself, then it was perfectly fine by him.
