ERIC:

“I’m gonna pretend you didn’t just say that.” Rick flashed a smile. “Give me my money and get the fuck out of here.”

Melody returned the smile, removed her purse from her arm, and stepped closer to him to shove the bag into his chest forcefully. She then extended her neck slowly until her lips were mere centimeters from his ear. “You’re not better than us.” She whispered as she released the bag reluctantly from her clutch. Then the collector stepped back to look at the Buchanan with daring eyes. SHe held the gaze the entire time she turned around until it was impossible. “See you around, Ricky.” Melody said as she walked away.

ERIC:

“I’m not joining your band of lunatics.”

"That wasn’t an invitation.” She knew he was good at what he did, but she was never one to beg. “We like loyal types. You know, the kind that don’t abandon their families.”

ERIC:

“Did you kill her? Be honest.” 

“Fuck you, I didn’t.” Melody rolled her eyes. “But I should have. She would have died with at least an ounce of dignity if I killed her. She had her head torn from her body by some omega instead. That’s what happens when you collect without a clan.”

ERIC:

“Service fee? Are you fucking kidding me?” It was never Eric’s idea to have a middleman involved in this, so of course he wasn’t happy. “Margery never charged a service fee.”

“Margery is dead.” Melody snapped.

ERIC:

“5k? Everything I sold him was worth seven. Where’s the other two?” The customer in question had never been one to pinch pennies. Eric wasn’t about to let him start now. 

“You didn’t think I was delivering your money just because you have a nice ass, did you?” Melody let out a short laugh. “The 2k is in my pocket. Service charge.”

ERIC:

“Let’s stick with ‘Rick’, alright?” There were a lot of reasons why Eric did not like working with Melody. The fact that she always made an attempt to push his buttons was only one of them. “Because you always do.”

“God, you’re so boring. But you know me so well.” The woman smiled a big smile, and then cleared her throat--something she did just before talking business. “I’ve got your money. Shapiro sent me.” Melody pulled at her purse to reveal bundles of cash. "5k. All twenties. Just like you asked."

ERIC:

“Don’t call me that.” He was quick to scold her. “What do you want?” 

"Would you prefer daddy instead?” Melody attempted to provoke him with a challenging gaze that accompanied her words of choice. “Why do you assume that I always want something?”

WILLIAM:

“I’ll make sure to make a note that he’ll need to pack his things,” Will winked, trying to turn his sour mood around. The woman seemed nice enough and went along with his shitty attempts at jokes and that’s all anyone could really ask for. Will shrugged lightly at her joke. “I’d come up with a better excuse, I’m sure. Never let me go, Jack, and all that,” he smiled meekly.

“I’m sure he’d appreciate that.” Melody was happy to see the alpha perking up. It made her feel accomplished in a way. “So you’re one of those ‘doesn’t share essential life-saving floatation devices even though there’s plenty of room’ types, eh? Very cold.” She smirked. “Pun intended.”

WILLOW:

“God, no. Just tired. Plus I’m trying to find a new job so I can have a little more freedom to hunt.” 

“Oh thank God,” Melody held a hand over her heart, and let out a breath of relief. She did not want to report her closest friend to Wolfgang. “Right, little miss working girl.” Mel smiled once more. “How’s the job hunt going?”

MYLES:

“You never get used to it,” Myles admitted, head shaking from side to side, “At least it’s a dry heat, I guess? Or at least that’s what I hear people say.” He passed a hand through his hair before looking up at her. A brief chuckle escaped him, “Yeah, I’ve been here all my life. I’ve seen you around a couple times I think, but I don’t believe we’ve actually been formally introduced. I’m Myles.” 

“Great,” Mel let out a defeated sigh and then shrugged. “At least you don’t have to deal with massive amounts of snow in the winter, right? It’s always summer here.” Things soon became a little more clear, and she felt more confident speaking with the person she was speaking to. “Right, right. Myles--owner of that one bar, right?” It wasn’t a bar she frequented often, it was a known O’Malley hotspot... but she did stop by every once in awhile when the other bars around town just weren’t meeting expectations. His bar never had that problem. That’s probably why the hunters liked it so much. “It’s very nice to finally meet you. I’m Melody.”
