Rent Due

Jeremy London is going through a rough stretch. The job is gone, most of his belongings have been sold just to stay afloat, and now the one bill he can't avoid is due—rent.

When building manager Derek Thibeau comes by looking for payment, Jeremy doesn't have much to offer besides an awkward smile and a promise to figure something out. Derek isn't thrilled, but he's open to negotiating.

Jeremy may be broke, but that doesn't mean he has nothing of value. After some back-and-forth, Derek proposes a temporary payment arrangement that makes being behind on the rent a lot more interesting.

Whatever keeps the landlord happy.
