Vincent_ left Michigan Central Station and walked into the cold Detroit air. They called it the Motor City but he didn't see a single car outside. He waited outside in the cold until a cab came twenty minutes later. He hated Detroit, the winters were brutal, the news took its sweet time reach the city and it was difficult to pick up women because they didn't really dig men from New York.  But if there was one thing he did like about Detroit it was the music. Detroit was home to many Jazz clubs that _Vincent_ would visit whenever he was in town. "Where Do you wanna go?" Asked the cab driver and _Vincent_ told him the address a Furniture Store a over in Corktown. Tonight he was in Detroit on business TylerDurden ran a place out in Detroit that he used a front to launder money and store drugs to transport in sofas all over the country. Slowly the cab drove away and _Vincent_ looked through the window outside it was dark, cloudy, and windy.
 

It was late at Tyler's Furniture Store.  Jimmy was closing up for the evening not many people came in today. Usually they would get a few real customers who bought sofas and everyone else who came in worked for Tyler. Rarely Tyler would come in he only made the trip up from Delaware City once a month and when he did it would be a brief visit and he would spend most of his time  in the back of the store and Jimmy would only get a "Hello" or be ignored completely. Jimmy was in charge of running operations for the Durdens all over the Midwest and some parts of Canada by stuffing the drugs into the sofas and shipping them over the county has kept the Durdens pockets full of money over the years but his work always went unnoticed and all the praise went to his second in command Paulie. Outside he noticed a cab stop and let a passenger out. Fuck my life thought Jimmy now he had to do some actual work.

As the cab pulled over _Vincent_ looked at his watch 8 pm then out at the street no one in sight. He paid the cab driver and sent him on his way. _Vincent_ would take out the guy he ran the joint dump the poor bastards body in the river then spend a night in at a hotel and catch a flight out in the morning. He walked into the store and saw it was empty except for a light coming from the managers office and decided to take a look. It smelled like smoke and there was a man counting up money. _Vincent_ took out his piece and aim it at the mans face "Who the hell are you?" The man looked up at him and said "Im Jimmy and if you don't want any trouble I suggest you put that down buddy". _Vincent_ kept the gun aimed at the guys face and didn't move. "Please this place is ran by Tyler that pathetic fool from Delaware City I ain't scared of him and I aint scared of you buddy, now listen very carefully this is a hostile takeover first order of business is shutting this place down... forever." _Vincent_ tied Jimmy up took his car keys and grabbed a container gasoline and poured it all over the store. He then grabbed Jimmy and placed him in the truck of a car lit a match and watched the place ignite in flames as he drove away.

_Vincent_ drove up to Lake St. Clair and then opened up the trunk. " How we doin Jimmy? Hope you like to swim". _Vincent_ then shot Jimmy three times and then gave him some cement shoes. He then dumped the body into the water and drove away to a hotel room in Downtown Detroit. In the morning he took a cab to the airport he took care of The Durdens operations in the Midwest and he wanted to get out of Detroit and back to New York. As _Vincent_ boarded his flight a man was on the phone "Tyler I see our target the sonofabitch is boarding a flight to New York." The voice on the other end of the phone said "Good work, We know where he's from we will get our payback when the time is right we will strike and show them that you do not Fuck with Tyler Durden."
