The Big Guns

"Janie, you make me look bad if you say no. You make me look like a bad father. I'm trying but that boy is so spoiled and I need someone like you to keep him in line. Please."
"I'll think about it."
"No. You are going."
"But."
"No buts. Get back to work." he patted Janie on the head. Janie pouted. She turned around and sat down.
"I thought you came to really visit me."
"I did and to ask you to do a favor for me. We could have lunch sometime. My wife also makes a mean dinner if you'd care to join."
"I don't think I'll be able to."
"Another night, kid."
Janie went back to work and left the office. She grabbed her bag and went down to the lobby. It was dark in the office but the lobby was bright so she had to adjust to the lighting.
"Janie." Janie looked up from looking inside her bag to get her keys. "Thanks."
"You brought out the big guns, Hunter. How am I supposed to say no?"
"I know. I'll treat you to a coffee."
"You owe me more than that."
"Don't worry."

Janie had to come meet Logan at his house. She noticed the address was for the house next to Hunter's. She knocked on the door. Logan came to the door with sunglasses and swimming trunks. "You're here. Wait for me in the office. Go up the stairs. Make a left and that's my office." He ran to his backyard. It seemed like there was a party.

Janie went up the stairs. There were people making out in front of the office. She asked them to move but they wouldn't. So she stood there waiting for Logan.
