High School Never Ends

Harshly, the man shoved me into a posh looking room and slammed the door behind me. I stared ahead at a well presented man focusing on what looked like paperwork on his desk.
“Next time, let’s not slam the door and make sure you treat the guests better, Trix!” The man called after the man. “Sorry love, please do take a seat.” He gestured to two seats in front of his desk.
Nervously, I sat down. Refusing to make eye contact, I stared down at my shoes whilst twiddling my thumbs.
“So what brings you here, darling?” He asked, sweetly
“Eh, I’m here to, uh, see the dealer.” I gulped
“Well, that’s me!”
“R-really?” I replied, shocked
“I don’t really look the part, do I?” He chuckled. “Anyway, what is that you want?”
“You… You’re, uh, friends took my friend. I was hoping there would be someway…”
“That you could get him back, correct?” The dealer finished for me
I nodded.
“Well, I’m afraid there is a debt to be paid and…”
“I’m Paige’s sister.” I stated
“Paige.” He echoed. “Ah, she was such a sweet girl. Doing the dirty work to protect others. Yet, the debt over took her.”
“So you killed her.” I spat
“Ah dear, you’ve got it all twisted.” He answered, sadly. “It wasn’t in fact my corporation yet our rivals. Me and your sister… We were close and so they targeted somebody I cared about.”
“Were you two… Y’know?”
“Oh, no no. I was more of a brother figure to her.”
“I don’t understand. I thought that to pay off the debt that you would take Vic’s life.”
“What? God, no.”
“What’s he here for then?”
“Protection.”
“What? Why did you beat Tony up then?”
“He stood in the way.” The dealer replied, easily
“What are you protecting him from?”
“The rival corporation. The debt isn’t with me. She got into a big mess with the other corporation, and ended up in debt. It seems that she didn’t explain the whole story to your friend Vic.”
“I don’t understand. How did she get into debt with this other corporation?”
“Basically, to cut the story short, she was doing a little delivery for me from a cargo ship. There was a guy from the rivals who had been sent to collect some ‘goods’ also. The cops turned up and she ratted him out to save herself. They charged her a lot of money, more than I could give her, but she couldn’t pay it so they killed her.”
“Why didn’t you protect her, like you’re protecting Vic?” I growled
“We tried, I promise you.”
“Then what makes you think that you’ll be able to save Vic?”
“I don’t know. But we’re going to do everything we can.”
“We want to help. He’s our friend, we had a plan.”
“To make money?”
“Yeh.”
“It’s gonna take a lot of work to make that sort of money. Say, how many of you are there?”
“Including me and Vic, there’s five of us. Why?”
“If you guys did a few ‘good deeds’ for me, you’d be able to make the money in good time.”
“You want us to sell drugs?”
He nodded.
“We’ll do it.”
