"Nice guys finish last. Good guys finish first."

Just a kid.. merely a child.. was that supposed to help? Real-life fairy tales were few and far between. Romance was a notion for fantasy books, content to lose themselves in the fiction of true love despite all odds. Beck's youth and uncertain mind could only serve to heighten her resolve to do the right thing.

The rumors of a business built around the duels intrigued her.. if anything was familiar, it was how to make money. What would it be but essentially betting on a consistent winner? The teen would be no charity case if he earned the money himself. A smart investment was a smart investment. Start with a small amount of expendable cash, and re-invest the profits.. her father would be proud.

The missive was sent within an hour.
