(I really hope this is okay; I'm terrible with starters.)
Pulling out her phone, Letha checked the time, noting that it was around the time that she was supposed to meet her best friend. Part of her was sure that he would probably cancel due to "something came up," which usually meant that he found somebody to take to his home and sleep with. Considering that it was so close to time to spend time with him, though, she was incredibly hopeful that he would ditch. Slipping her hands into her sweater pockets, she looked around her home for a moment before she made her way out and headed to their meeting spot. Maybe he wouldn't even show up or bother to warn her that he wouldn't be coming - as much as the thought pained her, it wouldn't really surprise her. Though he usually warned her, there was the occasional time that he didn't and she would sit around, waiting for a few hours because she was too hopeful for him to show. Sometimes, she really hated her own feelings for her friend because she knew that he didn't believe in things like love - it was easier to keep the feelings to herself, though, so she figured that it didn't matter.
This wasn't something that Aria really wanted to do, honestly. She had no interest in underground work, be it mobs, gangs, mafias, whatever. But, really, this was the only way that she could avoid getting into trouble herself, according to the police who had approached her when they had discovered that she had been wrapped up in her own forms of crime: pretending to be an escort, only to steal men's money and valuable items, along with blackmailing them. It was either help them take down this new boss who had to take over his father's group or be put in prison. It was easy to decide. The problem was being able to approach the man - somebody by the name of Valentino Vento. For the police to be willing to let her go just to help get rid of a group, she really had to wonder what was so bad about the group in and of itself. With a sigh, she looked through a small file that the police had given her, eying the name of a restaurant that the man seemed to frequent. Well, she could try there, couldn't she? Deciding it was her best chance at the moment, she put the file away and left to head to the restaurant.
