~time skip to 8:30pm~
After I got sassy with Tanjiro, I showed him to his room and left him alone to rest, Later I got a message to meet with a client at a club a few blocks down at 7:30pm. I really wished I didn't have work because one, if there is a shootout I'll be at a disadvantage and two, well because there are always perverted old rich people that try to grope me or others. "Hey princess, why don't you come and have a seat?" I look down to see an old man sitting on one of the purple seats, his group of friends laughing at what he said. He had the typical business suit with the first two buttons undone showing a bit of his chest hair, Ew. He had rings for almost every digit and a golden chain that looked a bit odd considering how tiny the loops were. "You must be talking to someone else hon, The only princess I see is you." I looked straight ahead looking at all the drunk people, ignoring the glare he gave me as I stood guard at one of the many doors. Thinking I wouldn't do anything, he reached out and tried to grope my ass but froze once the barrel of my gun touched his head. He began to shake and slowly looked up at me, "Why don't you just turn around and drink with your friends?" The guy that was with me chuckled as the old man turned back around and ordered another round of drinks, trying to pretend that nothing happened. As I put my gun away the door opened and my client came out happily shaking the other man's hand, guess it went well. After they exchanged goodbyes Sam, my 'partner', and I escorted him to his car. while we were walking to his car, he wrapped his arm around my waist. "Why don't you come with me and make sure I get to bed safely?" I looked at him and grabbed his arm and pulled it away. "Im being paid to shoot anyone that bothers you, not to be your nanny." "You might get some more money from me if you come." I open his door and look at him, "Or I can shoot your foot and push you in the car." He then got serious."You can't shoot me! It's your job to protect me." "The job is to make sure you are safe, But no one said that you had to be in one piece." He huffed in irritation and got in the car, "Have a great night sir." I closed the door and went to my car. I failed to notice someone following me, "Damn, you sure are a feisty woman." I turn my head and see Sam walking towards me, I rolled my eyes and took my keys out. "What do you want?" "I just wanted to talk, I totally get it if you don't I mean seeing the way guys treat you and all." "What are you trying to do?" I said now fully turning around to face him. "Nothing! I swear! I'm just wanted to make a few friends." What? Did he hit his head or something? "Look, in this job, you don't make any friends. You're just asking to get shot." I turn around and unlock my door which makes him take a step closer to me. "Hey wait." I pulled my gun out and pointed it at him and he quickly put his hands up, He glared at me. "Are you really going to shoot me? We're on the same team." "You really need to learn that you can't just trust anyone in these streets." "So by proving that, you're going to shoot me?" I then shrugged. "If I have to." He then lowered his hands and took one step closer. *Bag!!!* Screams erupted from people that were waiting outside the club, some ducked down and others ran off. Sam stood there with his eyes squeezed shut like an idiot, the man behind him fell to the floor, dropping his gun that was aiming at Sam. Putting my gun back, I walk passed Sam and kneeled down to search through his pockets, taking out only a pack of cigs and his wallet. I looked through it but there was nothing but cash and business cards, I took one out and read it."The White Dragon?" "Sounds a bit cliche don't you think?" I look up to see Sam standing over me. "You done peeing your pants?" "Ha. ha. very funny." I smirk and look down at the card, why did this name sound familiar? I turned it over and my eyes widen, The crest was of a Chinese Dragon head that looked like it was laughing almost taunting me. "Hey you okay?" I snapped out of it and quickly got up and gave Sam the wallet and cigs and taking the card with me, "You can keep these." "But I don't smoke." "Then throw them away, I don't care what you do with them." I left him there and jumped into my car and drove off. Once I got there the lights of the restaurant were still on, I looked at the time, 9:57pm. I locked my car once I headed inside the building and saw Jian working alone at the registers like crazy because of how many people there were, Jian saw me and a bit of relief washed over him. "Hey! your boyfriend got sick, go help him so Chang can help me!" Oh so now I'm dating the Mafia guy, well at least it's better than dating a kid. I go upstairs to Tanjiro's room and hear him vomiting, I turned and went to my room and grabbed a water bottle and Pepto-bismol that was in my bathroom cabinet. I walked back to Tanjiro's room and didn't bother to knock. Tanjiro's room was a mess, the bathroom door was wide open and the scene was priceless. Two grown men were in a small bathroom, one vomiting and the other patting his back and having a panicked look. "Alright Chang, you can go now, I got this." Chang looked relieved and quickly got out of the room, I walked over and pored some Pepto-bismol in the plastic cup it came with. "Here drink it." He looks at me and grabs the cup, he then smells it and scrunches up his nose. "It smells weird." "Drink it or I'll shove it down your throat." He hesitates but drinks it anyway. "Ugh that's nasty." "Oh don't be such a baby." I took the cup back and rinsed it, I then helped him up and sat him down on his bed. I get a hand towel from his bathroom and wet it, handing it to him afterwards. "Here clean yourself with it while I get some gloves from my place." He takes it and I leave. I still wonder why Tanjiro's gang is after me, do they know that he is still alive or do they think I killed him?
