Colby strode silently at a fast pace. She as leaving school and heading to her official job. She found some more fucking drugs in her parent's- her- truck again, and so now she had to sell them. She'd turn them into the police, but she needed the money for several reasons. She paused at a stoplight, pulling her cigarettes out and stuffing one into her mouth and then lighting her, her dark brown eyes focused on the ground. She tugged her sunshine blond hair up into a bun and winced as she twisted. The other night, she'd been sitting at home and her mother had been so fucking kind as to throw a jagged ass can at her head. It bled a little, and with the water turned off, she hadn't been able to hide it. She'd worn a hat to school and sat at the back of class, but at work she always has her hair up so it didn't get tangled into the damn plants she watered. The light changed and she walked over one more street before stepping into the green and read the giant sign: Jenna's Flowers. Simple, to the point. She liked it.
Lilly peered over the register as Colby walked in. "Put out your cigarette," she said as always. She had short hair, unlike Colby whose long hair was in a...bun? And her hair looked a bit...dirty. "Have you showered? Your hair looks kind of greasy..." Colby shrugged and moved outside to the back to finish smoking. Lilly rolled her eyes and pulled her apron on and walked around, going to get Jenna so she could remind her to pick up the candies for the upcoming Valentine's day, and the stuffed animals. She knocked on the brown door near the roses. A shit load of red roses came in the other day, and they were on sale. 12 for 15 dollars, which in comparison to the Love Bouquets down the road, whose deal was buy 12 get a box of candies for half off, was a better deal. She'd found that out the hard way. Jenna popped out from the door and smiled. Jenna was always smiling, despite being ill and usually half or fully blind. Lilly wouldn't be surprised when poor Jenna got cancer...It was bound to happen.
Jenna nodded to Lilly and left the store just as Colby finished her cigarette. "Hey boss," Jenna heard her greet as she passed by. She smiled and patted the kid's head. Jenna thought of Colby as a little sister, and was constantly getting into verbal fights with her parents....god, Jenna hated her parents. Nonetheless, she hummed a happy tune as she strode down the back alleys and found the pick-up place. She picked up her order- four boxes of candy and a box of plushes, and carried them slowly. She was halfway home when her vision randomly, as always, left her. She frowned and stood there, unable to know the way home since she only came this way once in a blue moon.

Pain was quite unhappy, he'd heard rumours about how there was a dealer out there that sold drugs just as good as his, but they were cheaper. He didn't understand though at first, no one sold drugs as good and as cheap as he did, especially gangs. The man kept track pf all of that. Finally one day he'd become frustrated and had got one of the people that used to be his customer to tell him who this person was and where they were. Now, he was walking up to Jenna's flowershop, eyes half-lidded and glazed over from behind his purple-tinted sunglasses. Pain went to step inside but stopped, smelling cigarettes, and other drug remenants, he walked around the building and saw her. "Who do you work for?" He asked immediatly, voice quiet.
Wrath walked into the flowershop and saw Lilly. "Are you Jenna?" He asked her, staring her down with his purple eyes, his jaw tight. He had phoned and she hadn't answered, and that had really annoyed him. And she hadn't even had the decency to phone back.
"Candy, candy... Candy..." Sabre was murmuring under his breath happily as he walked down the sidewalk, he patted his pockets lazily, grinning to himself. He wasn't watching where he was going and walked right into Jenna. The man didn't let any boxes fall though, he caught them. "Holy crap... Hey, you need to watch where you're going."

Colby looked up at the dude. He wasn't bad looking she noted, but his tone told her quickly that he wasn't pleasant...At the moment. She could smell the drugs on him. "Who do I...Oh, um,...No one," she answered and looked at him, eyes also half-lidded. "Look, I don't want no problems, so I'll sell you whatever- everything even- for...150?" she offered. It was really fucking cheap, but she really didn't give a crap.
Lilly looked up at him and shook her head. "No, I'm Lilly. Jenna will be back in...Well, depending on if she can still see or not," she answered. "I can let you into her office though if you'd like to wait there for her." The man that stood before her was drop dead beautiful. His red hair and his purple eyes...She felt herself staring a bit.
Jenna heard him and let out a giggle. "I would if I could," she answered in a cheery voice. "It seems I cannot see...Could you maybe help me get back to Jenna's Flowers?" she asked, staring at the boxes. She didn't really know where he was now. "I have candy and flowers and stuffed animals, I'll let you take some if you help me back..."

"So cheap?" He asked, playing along for the moment, he pulled out his wallet and opened it up, he looked into her eyes. "Show me what you've got.' Pain said, acting like a suspicious druggie instead of a drug dealer, he might as well see what she was selling.
Wrath's eyes lit up at her name and he hummed, looking her over, she was better looking than he had thought she was going to be. "You're Lilly? The one that sent me a resume?" He asked curiously, ignoring her question, he'd answer it later.
"Oh... You can't see... Uh, sorry, didn't mean to..." He trailed off, embarassed by his own insensitivity, then he shrugged it off, he hadn't known. Sabre felt amazement run through him when she offered him candy and he grinned from ear to ear. "Sure i'll help you out." He said and took the boxes from her. "I'm standing on your right side, grab my arm."

Colby pulled out her bags and held them out, looking bored. "That's all I've got for now..." she mumbled. She was pretty damn fucking sure that her addict parents would probably go 'shopping' tonight and get more drugs...Fucking addicts.
Lilly blinked. "Um...Yes...I...Oh! You must be Wrath," she said and extended her hand in greeting. "I'm Lilly, and I sent in a resume...Wow, it's nice to meet you. What're you doing here exactly, if you don't mind my asking?" she asked and smiled happily.
Jenna's arm slowly lifted and she grasped it tight, grinning. She felt his muscles. "thank you so much, sir!" Jenna said, smiling happily.

He took the bags and studied them, his eyes narrowed a little bit but then he relaxed. "Where do you get these from? Sorry if I sound suspicious, I just like to know, it makes me feel better." Pain said. Dealing drugs bought from another person was against the code of drug dealers, you just didn't do it.
Wrath grasped her hand and then released it, not one to prolong human contact. "I've phoned here, I think twice now, wanting to get a reference for you from Jenna, she hasn't picked up nor has she phoned me back." He told her bluntly. "I'm starting to feel that if she'd this disorganized than I might not be able to trust her word about you."
The blue-haired man chuckled and lead her around, following the scent of flowers. "So what are you doing walking around blind without a seeing-eye dog?" Sabre questioned, glancing at her and then away again.

Colby shrugged. "My parents are fucking addicts and when they aren't doing drugs I find 'em and sell 'em for some extra cash. I don't know who the dealer is..." She answered honestly. "They go out 'shopping' every few days or so and come back saying, 'man, what a pain that was.' So I kind of think he's a scary dude...I'm afraid to go find him, kind of..." She didn't realize they were being stupid and cracking a joke. As for fear? Well, she just didn't want to get her ass beat for returning drugs, if that happened.
Lilly sighed. "My boss is sometimes blind, so I usually answer the phones...I'm sorry, Wrath, that you had to go through hoops to talk to her. Is there anything I can do to make up for it?" she asked. Jenna! You nearly cost me a job! she thought worriedly. "I didn't know the phone had rang and hadn't been answered, otherwise she would've called back by now. She's just...spacey....and blind..."
Jenna grinned. "Oh, I'm not blind all the time, just....a good portion of it. It comes and goes, like...I was seeing when I got those boxes, but now it's gone!" She'd honestly never thought of getting a dog since she worked and lived in a three block radius. She knew her way mostly....Roads were just the dangerous part.

He gave a hum. "So, you're taking your parents drugs, which they buy off of me and you're selling the drugs that take up many long and horrible hours of my time and are selling them for cheap?" He asked her, just repeating it in his own rendition. Pain held back a laugh at the joke, even though he found it immensely funny. "And i'm not a scary dude." He added after a moment, frowning to himself.
"Perhaps a more capable and reliable person should be running this establishment then." He commented, spacey and blind did not sound appealing in any way, shape, or form. Wrath would never work there, than again he'd never have to since he ran his own business' and what not from his home. "I want to speak to Jenna whenever she returns." He told her, glaring.
Sabre nodded his head in understanding, leading her still, eyes darting around to spot her flower shop. "Maybe you should look into getting one, it might be the best idea." He suggested half jokingly and half seriously.

Colby's eyes bulged. "Oh, you're not scary," she said. "I guess you can have 'em. If you come by once a week ya'll get all of 'em back," she told him. "I've gotta get to my actual job now though, so can you...I don't know...Make like a dealer being chased by the cops?" she asked, putting out her cigarette with her boot. Her southern accent made all her vowels longer and stronger. It was almost cute.
Lilly nodded in agreement. "Hence why she has me," she mumbled. "And I can let you into her office. She should be back soon...SHe must have lost her sight and that's why she's being so slow...Or she got lost, god I hope she didn't get lost..." Lilly ran a hand through her hair, orange eyes looking around the shop.
jenna nodded. "Indeed. I must look into one..." she agreed. "So what's your name?" Jenna asked, smiling again and feeling his muscles.

"Wait one minute, cow girl." He said and put one of his hands up. "You've been selling my drugs and making a profit off of them for who knows how long. I want all of the money you got from doing so." Pain demanded, he had done all of the work, therefore he should get any money she'd earned from her drug scalping.
"She has you but you let her out onto the streets, knowing that she could go blind out there and get lost or hurt." Wrath said, he was taking everything Lilly said as an interview of sorts, seeing if she'd be compenent enough to work for him, at the moment it seemed like she'd be useless. "Take me to her office, please."
"I'm Sabre, who are you?" He replied and questioned her back, curious, she seemed very sweet, like candy.

Colby exhaled slowly, looking irritated and...pained. "I doon't haive it on me, not all of it," she answered, handing him the thirteen bucks she did have. "The rist is in my baink accouint, cume back tomoorrow or sumething..." She said. Her eyes became a little darker as she let herself stew. Cocksucker didn't look like he fucking needed money, Mr. Nice Glasses. Could be the only nice thing he has though...She had a fifty dollar pair of Cowboy boots...She glanced at her wonderful black boots.
Lilly moved from the behind the counter to Jenna's office. "Yes, but I also would be leaving a blind woman to deal with customers," she answered and opened the door. "It's usually easier to just let her go blind and be helped back...She really should get a dog. Or drag Colby around...Speaking of which," Lilly looked at her cubby. "...She doesn't have her apron on, damn it..." Lilly scowled and was waiting for Wrath to get situated so she could go chew Colby out.
"Jenna," she answered happily and smiled wider. "You have a wonderful name. What are you doing for Valentine's day?"

Pain looked down at her boots too, one eyebrow raising, he grinned. "I will come back for it tomorrow." He promised honestly, he knew she was upset about it but it was just o bad. "How old are you, kid? 14?" The man asked, looking her over, she looked like some little teenager. "You're way to young to be selling your mommy and daddies drugs."
Wrath found her 'excuse' very stupid and unbelievable, it sounded even worse once she said it that way. And if there was another person working there, why not get them to run out and pick whatever needed to be picked up, up? He snorted and walked into Jenna's office, looking around it before huffing, how pathetice this place was.
He blushed, sort of embarassed. "Thanks, you've got a wonderful name too." Sabre murmured back, licking his lips. "I'm going to eat candy by myself, as usual... What about you?"

Colby rolled her eyes and pushed the door open and headed inside. She looked at the red-head in the office as Lilly began to chew her out again about cutting down on her smoking. Colby ignored her and went about watering the plants. Lilly gave up and helped a customer, who was eyeballing Colby. Colby glared back, irritated...Damn it, that money had gone into her college fund. She sighed...She'd take out half of it...He might buy it that she only made that much.
Jenna shrugged. "I'll be doing the same thing," she answered and laughed, smiling. "and watching Godzilla..."

He watched her leave and started to work out how much money she owed him in his head. Thinking about when his customers had first started going to Colby instead of to him. He hummed and left the area, he smelt Wrath and Sabre near by and blinked, very surprised.
"Godzilla? I've never seen it, is it good?" He'd heard of it of course, but he'd never watched the classic. "I might watch the Music Man, it's my faovurite classic musical..." Sabre smiled.

Jenna told him all about how wonderful Godzilla was. "Are we almost there?" she asked after she finished. She really needed to sit down and...stare into space until her vision returned.
