Quitters Inc.
It had been two years to this day since Salvatore Donatti had taken over from Victor as the head honcho of Quitters Inc. and in those short years, he had nonetheless been able to push the success rate of treatment up from ninety-eight to just shy of ninety-nine percent; One, maybe two successful projects and he would be able to leave a lasting mark on the operation.
One mere percent might not look like a huge improvement, but just lining up successes in order to keep it up that high was an impressive feat for a firm that deals with addiction, or rather cures people of it. That’s right, they had been able to cure addiction - any addiction - in almost ninety-nine out of a hundred cases, and that even without a medical license or a single doctor on staff. Quitters Inc. didn’t employ medication, although their patients were allowed to arrange for medication on their own merit, or even their own doctor.
Quitters Inc. had come a long way since it was first established, a mob front with a mission, who would have thought? Donatti chuckled, he still had close ties to the mob, he was Family after all, and his business' modus operandi wasn't what you would call clean cut, but they had come a long way from being a bunch of goons in a warehouse. They had several mock offices across the city now, and plenty of places they'd only use once. Their headquarters, where Salvatore Donatti maintained his office, remained unknown for most of his employees, it was a faceless office in an soulless skyscraper.
Donatti admired his view, he could see the entire city from his window, and he would imagine his patients scurrying about it's streets, looking over their shoulders, trying to escape both the clutches of their addictions and his firm. Quitters Inc. had become an urban legend, a drunkards tale; Some famous writer had even published a short story based upon it.
"The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled..." Donatti mused, "was convincing the world he doesn't exist."
