"Okay, I agree to your terms. Now, givethe antidote," she stated.
The man nodded.
But Quincy couldn't help but chuckle.
"Look here, buddy, you're not a kid anymore, right? I mean, even if I hand over the antidote, there's no way I'm doing it for free! After all, I spent ages working on this thing..." Right now, she was in dire need of cash.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtPaying off her classmates required money, and if she wanted to get on the good side of Everett's friends and maintain those relationships, she'd need even more cash! Plus, she had already asked her dad for money so many times that he was barely willing to support her anymore. If she asked again, he might cut her off completely.
At this point, Quincy needed to secure herself a safety net.
The man snorted with laughter, not too surprised by her opening bid.
"Alright, spit it out. How much do you want?" "Ten million." "Why don't you just hold up a bank?" Quincy patted his shoulder, "Con, man, your words, not mine. You said you're into Dorothy, want to be with her. I'd say ten million for a shot at Dorothy is a steal, wouldn't you? Or is this all just an excuse, and you've got other plans?" "It's cool, no pressure. If you're not buying, we can forget this conversation ever happened. But if you want the antidote, that's the price. Ten million." Quincy recited her phone number, "Think it over and hitup." She knew ten million was no small figure, so she walked away after laying out her terms.
Quincy was surprised the man didn't take a few days to mull it over.
But he caught up to her in just a few steps.
"Deal! Ten million, I'll buy it." Quincy blinked in surprise, thinking maybe she undersold it.
"Looks like you really do care about Dorothy." The man frowned, "That's none of your business." "Sure, it isn't. Just making an observation! Everett was head over heels for her before, and now here you are, ready to drop ten million for an antidote. Dorothy's one lucky girl." "Her luck's got nothing to do with you! You'd better keep Everett away from her, that's all I care about!" "Don't worry, on that front, we're on the steam! Even without your input, I'd make sure of it." Quincy gave the man another look, this tmore evaluative.
She realized then that the man might be of mixed heritage? He definitely didn't look like your typical local.
But... no matter who showed up, none could replace Everett.
