Mike Scarfino hated this.
Debt collecting. It was the worst part of his job, usually because he didn't have to do it.
But today, the hired muscle were out on other jobs and the Wilkinson family owed him a heap.
Sure, he was a "shark", an "opportunist", a "scum-bag" - whatever, he'd heard it all... but he provided a service. He didn't make anyone call him. He loaned people money when no-one else would. They needed money, he had it. They borrowed, he collected. That simple. And it usually was.
After his first few months of business he made an example of a few bad-debtors and people soon got the idea it was better to pay up than be paid a visit. Now people called him "Mister Scarfino"... or the boys at the office called him "Scar", on account of the physical and mental mark he left on people that owed him. Few did at the moment, since he'd expanded and hired in more help, people just couldn't pay him quickly enough. Business was good.
But now he had a call. Mr & Mrs Wilkinson had hit hard times a few months back. Usual score was the guy lost his job and the bills were piling up. No bank would touch someone unemployed, mortgaged to the hilt, so he'd helped them out. They'd barely even noticed the 22.8% interest charge. Monthly. "I'll be back in work soon Mr. Scarfino - this is just to see us through." he'd said. Sure, sure... he'd heard the same more times than he cared to remember.
Now, two months on, Mr. Wilkinson had gone real quiet. He'd not replied to his polite letter. He'd not replied to his 'less polite' letter. And when he called him up, the line went dead before he'd even got past introducing himself. Now that was just rude.
So Mr. Wilkinson was going to get a visit - and a lesson in manners. If Mrs. Wilkinson was there, all the better, they tended to pay quicker, rather than risk the humiliation of an ass-kicking in front of the wife.
Mike rolled his SUV to the curb in front of 2380 Carlington Avenue - nice place, he noted. Also noted the empty driveway. They'd better be in.
He 'blipped' his car locked with the key fob, strolled up the path and pressed the door bell. An affirming 'bing-bong' sounded inside the house and he distinctly heard movement. 'Good, not a wasted trip after all' he thought.
