Chapter 52 Loan Without Needing To Pay It Back (1/2)
Laz's red eyes were focused on the three thugs who just so happened to be aiming guns at him. He had no idea what kind of reaction he caused in Kennedy. At the moment, he was only focused on the three idiots who wanted to cause trouble.
For the three idiots, it was like looking into the eyes of the devil himself. Angelo was incredibly scared at the moment. He had no idea what he was facing, but it wasn't anything good. For guys who typically bullied the weak and feared the strong, he could tell this creature was definitely one of the strong. Only trusting his instincts, Angelo started to back away slowly. He wanted nothing more than to be away from this creature as soon as possible.
Laz on the other hand, was just a little on the annoyed side. It wasn't like he couldn't tell they were scared of him. It more had to do with the fact that they had brought out guns. Although he knew they had real bullets, he wasn't exactly concerned. Thanks to that crazy grandpa Bill, he had learned how to dodge bullets. Although real bullets traveled a lot faster than rubber ones, it didn't matter as long as they were within his range of perception. He could figure out quickly where they were going and make sure he wasn't there.
They held no challenge to him what so ever. The reason he was annoyed was because he now had to work a bit harder on this seemly stupid problem. Laz wasn't a lazy person by nature, but at the same time, he didn't think that the first time he was doing a job with Kennedy would result in him actually having to try hard. It kind of also annoyed him that nothing could just be straight forward in life.
He wanted to earn an easy dollar and maybe knock around a few idiots that decided not to pay Kennedy and therefore, earn a bit of brownie points with her. Although Laz hadn't really thought of himself as liking this slightly older and more mature women, that didn't mean he wasn't a hot blooded male at heart.
Guys showed off to women, no matter how stupid they looked in the process. It was just what they do. Guys can't explain it even if you asked them too, but it is what it is.
Now however, he had Larry, Curly and Moe here, acting like gangsters and wanting to cause trouble. So now, he was annoyed.
Laz took a deep breath and in his most commanding voice simply said, ”Fuck off.”
Although he tried hard, it wasn't as though he had fully matured. Therefore, his voice didn't come off as commanding as he thought it would. If anything, it made the three stooges calm down a little.
”Oh, I see. Some little puck with glow in the dark contacts wants to play the hero huh?” Angelo said, while he finally was able to get his heart under control. Even if the thing in front of him calm crashing down from the sky and caused a scene, he was more willing to believe it was something along the lines of a magic trick as opposed to it being real. It just made more sense that way.
”What do you mean boss?” The muscle head asked.
”Just that it seems like we were fooled by this guys tricks. I bet he is even working with the girl to scare us, knowing we would come tonight.”
”Oh? Oh oh oh, that makes sense boss. Kids these day can find all sorts of shit on the internet. Bet it was probably a mini explosive or something he set off before jumping on the ground.” The meat ball quickly blurted out, making his own conclusion.
”That sounds about right. Ha, we were almost played as fools by this little limp dick punk, huh?” Angelo said back, while walking forward. He never moved the gun though and continued to point it right at Laz.
Kennedy was still hanging back at this point, leaning against the wall like none of this had anything to do with her. Originally, she wasn't going to do anything and just let the kid earn his keep, but the appearance of the guns changed things. She didn't want to see him get shot after all and she was starting to get nervous. She knew she could run away in a heart beat and the three thugs wouldn't just start shooting at random. It wasn't like this was the middle of nowhere, shots would be noticed. All the same, she didn't know if Laz would be ok. She might be a bit cold towards others, even if she was doing so with a smile on her face. But for the kid, she didn't want to do that if it caused him to become distant.
She might not like him like him, but she still liked having him around. A woman's heart isn't something easily figured out.
*HEY, CAN YOU HEAR ME?* She thought, almost screaming in her head.
*OH FUCK. Yes, I can hear you. Why are you yelling though? It's not like it will let me hear you from father away. Well, maybe it will. I don't really know,* Laz thought back while keeping his eyes on the guys.
*Are you going to be ok?*
*OH? Is this the legendary girl's 'soft heart warmth' that get's revealed in a moment of danger?*
Kennedy wasn't one to take a jab laying down and simply responded with, *No. This is me not wanting to have to deal with the cops over your corpse while having a bag of narcotics and cash on me.*
She couldn't help but smile and she responded though. If he was still in the mood to joke, he wasn't worried.
*Ah, now that's more like it. Actually, if it was automatics, I would have a problem. But, it's not. So it's all good.*
Laz was still standing in place while Angelo, meat ball and muscle head were moving in closer. They weren't about to surround him since even idiots wouldn't circle a guy while they had guns. They wanted to get closer just in case they had to fire. They didn't want to miss.
What they didn't know was that it is so much easier for Laz to predict the fire line when the guns were closer. The real worry in any gun fight was the one you couldn't see coming.
”What's wrong kid? Scared? Now that we've seen through you little tricks, you going to go piss yourself and run? Ha! How's about we break your legs and let you lay there while we enjoy your girl huh? How's that sound? Been a while since I raped a teenager,” Angelo spouted out, looking happy with himself.
*Change of plans. Get out of sight once I move,* Laz thought towards Kennedy.
*What's wrong?* She didn't know what he had planned, but it seemed like it might get a bit dangerous.
*I'm going to fuck these guys up, that's what.*
