"Hey, kid," Leone said, walking up from the back office. "I got a favor for you."
Eddie pushed himself out from underneath a junky Idaho. "Yeah, boss?" he asked, wiping his hands off on an oil-stained cloth. "Need me to torque the Injection again?"
"Naw, this is somethin' real different," Leone said. "My friend Luigi Goterelli -- he owns the Sex Club 7 in Red Light. He needs a favor. I told him that you were the best guy I knew. I'll give you the rest of the afternoon off if you go do this favor for him."
Eddie thought about it. Wisely, he said, "What's in it for me?"
Leone laughed. "Smart kid. Don't worry, Luigi is a good man. No favor ever goes unpaid." "How much?"
"Dunno. You'll have to ask him about it. But Luigi doesn't stiff people, trust me. I've known this guy for years. He's a good friend of my father's. Trust him, alright?"
Eddie nodded and sat up. "I think I can use some more work. It'll help me out with rent." He stood up. "You got it, boss. I'll be right there."
Leone smiled. "That's my boy."
Eddie turned to grab his car keys. As he did, he saw Scott hovering in a dark corner of the garage. "Hey Scott!" he called out, "mind taking over for me for a few hours? I got some business to take care of."
Scott smiled. "You're heading to Luigi's, huh?" He laughed. "I knew it! Joey was looking for someone to do the mob's dirty shit, and you were just the right guy to come along. He walked over to the Idaho and sat a wrench down on the hood. "I don't know if I envy you or pity you, but I do know know a go-fer when I see one."
"Gofer?"
"Yeah. Joey found some guy about a year ago that would do their dirty shit. After about six months into the biz, they caught him squealin' to the Feds. After that," he made his fingers into a gun and touched the 'barrel' to his temple. "Pow! That was the end of him. Looks like they need another guy to fill in."
Eddie suddenly grew cold. "Look man, I ain't doin' nothin' but earnin' some extra cash, alright?"
"Hey, man, just be careful. That's all I'm saying." Scott smiled. "Have fun man. Luigi's got some hot girls. Don't be afraid to check one out, ok?"
