Mary Mushkin
Since its inception the Tuner Shop had been using VLC to sell its trade in cars, a deal that not many except Eddie saw the benefit of however especially Mary who believed it would be much better to keep in house, both for the simplicity and to make extra money for the mechanics. After Months of dealing with Ramee on behalf of the Tuner Shop, being fed up of his antics and scamming and having to act as an in-between as Eddies mouthpiece, Mary arranged a meeting between Ramee and Eddie after Ramee withheld money in an attempt to renegotiate the profit split of the deal. Just a week after he was caught scamming them for $0.5m. During the business meeting between the Tuner Shop and VLC about their contract, Eddie believed Ramees recounting of the events and shouted at Mary in front of everyone claiming she was manipulating him to dissolve the deal. Upset with this Mary left the meeting in tears. Heartbroken that Eddie, a person she considered Family, would so publicly humiliate her, and believe the word of a person that has proven to be untrustworthy over her.
After being comforted by Tommy, she returned to talk to Eddie however the conversation went poorly and Mary left, looking for comfort and advice, she confided with many of her friends including Lang Buddha, AP, May, Miguel, James Haze and some more. Word of this got back to Eddie and he came annoyed that Mary was talking about family business behind his back and bad mouthing him to others. Eddie also felt irritated that people were holding things people (Mary) had done for him over his head, believing that they only did it to gain favours from him. This caused Eddie to vow to never owe anyone anything leading him to pay of all his depts including returning a Lamborghini Huracan he was gifted for his birthday and selling his house.
In an attempt to try and save any business relations she had with Ramee, she contacted him to explain her side, however it was evident that Ramee no longer trusted or wanted to do business with her. It also came out that Eddie had decided to end the VLC deal anyway without informing anyone else. After another conversation with Tommy where he strongly urged her to talk to Eddie, she and Eddie met up at the end of the tuner shop docks where they had a long, heartfelt conversation and laid out exactly how they felt and what their point of view of the situation was. Eddie told Mary they could continue to do business together, but when she asked if they could still be friends, he said he wasn’t sure.
Feeling out of place at the Tuner Shop she contacted Dean Watson to talk about what had happened and about potential opportunities at Cerberus. Dean was very receptive and let her know that there was always a place for her in Cerberus however felt that they had nothing to offer that would be worthy of her and her skills. During a conversation with Finlay about what had happened she learns from Finlay that Eddie intends to leave Yokai. Mary reassures Finlay that Yokai is not going to break up, and that the crew was more than just one person and more than just a simple group of people that want to race together, and that she would love to continue to have him as a member if he still wanted to join.
Soon after Eddie calls Mary, and they agree to meet on the pier where Midnight Rivals starts, where the Midnight Club was dissolved. Eddie tells Mary he is leaving Yokai, handing her his jacket and Katana, and asks that it be given to Finlay. Eddie also informed her that he was going solo and would turn down any help to save him. Mary tells Eddie that she will respect his wishes if he ever finds himself in trouble she will stay away, though she would want to help him.
Following this Mary contacted Fury as Shinigami giving him a burned Oni card inforoming him he was out of Yokai and would no longer be receiving their help she also presented Titanium’s sword and told Fury that the stained blood on the blade was Titanium’s, and that was the fate of all who betray the Yokai.
