AA, huh? Not many of those around that makes their business in furniture. Speaking of furniture, ever notice how much empty space is underneath ever chair, sofa, and dresser? Geez, you could hide some hefty amounts of drugs in them. It would make it easier to transport those goods in higher business levels like this. pawn some off to those gang-affiliated brothers to spread the "word" about the new found business of bed bussing, which might just contain the new hit under the fancy ruffles. The wife is the Big Bad? She's running the drug operation under her hubby's noes. She's actually making more money than he is. She can do whatever she wants after just a little more moolah comes in through the shipments.
Then again, you could turn the tables to have it the other way around. Granted, I know very little about how you want this to turn out. Is this company the team's target? Are they their to protect the one on the way, cuz I bet those brothers wouldn't mind a business to share off of.
Who was torturing the npc? someone in the company?
