Chapter 7 - 7 Talking With Trouble (1/2)
Narrator Pov
After loosening his shoulders he silently walked to the counter and put on a smile to welcome the new 'customers'. The four men had the intimidating build of a bodybuilder that stood over Theodore. The girls and Charlotte were visibly shaken at their sight.
'I'm close kill these guys just for the fact that they scared Rose' Theodore thought with a dangerous glint in his eyes.
They had your stereotypical gold chains hanging from their necks and rings on each finger with tattoos on their necks and faces.
'It's fuċkers like these that give the tattoo community a bad name' Theodore thought with disgust.
The four men approach the counter. The leading man drops the paper bag on the counter and gave a cold smile.
”You got a nice place here, hey tell me is this marble” Asked the man as he tapped the floor with his foot and the counter with his hand.
”Yes it is sir, if you would be so kind to not smoke that would be highly appreciated. so what would you like to eat we have three dishes available” Theodore said like the good customer service he is.
”It must be very expensive you must be rolling in money to get the whole floor done. Say do you know where you set up your shop” Asked the man ignoring his question
”Yes sir, on the beautiful land we call America. Could you please not smoke. Now, the pricing for the dishes are all $15 its a great deal, I recommend the Steaks with goulash sauce & sweet potato fries its a personal favourite” Said Theodore
”A smart guy huh? Well let me make this clear, everyone on this street pays us for protection, now do you understand what we came here for” Said the man
Theodore gave an ignorant nod and said ”Isn't it cause you're hungry, do not worry I'm sure my food can satisfy you but before that can you put out your cigarette's”
The man couldn't take it any more and smacked the table with his hands and grabbed Theodore's collar.
”Aieeeeek!!” The girls gave a terrified shriek and Charlotte put on a brave front and sat next to the girls comforting them
”Listen here, you will be giving us $300 for protection every week and for being such a smart ȧss you'll pay an extra $200” Said the man arrogantly
Theodore gave a nod then he grabbed the hand, slowly increasing his grip *Crack* he leaned forward and whispered ”Now here's my counter offer you will leave this place before I crush and break every bone in your body”
”Fuck! get off, agh! what you doing he's crushing my hand agh! hurry help!” The man shouted in pain and fear.
Before the three men stepped forward to help, Theodore pushed the Leader with a bit of his strength causing him to fly backwards hitting the other guys.
”Wow! go daddy beat up the baddies” Said Rose who stood up on the seat and began throwing punches in the air. Theodore smiled at her cute encouragement.
Standing over the now fallen tough guys he said ”I politely asked you guy three times to not smoke but you didn't listen, you also scared my daughter and my guests. Also don't swear in here, now please leave before I call the police”
”Fuck you, he can't fight all of us” said The leader
They got up on their feet and rushed Theodore. Theodore simply welcomed them with a punch into their gut causing them to fall forwards holding their stomachs in pain before passing out.
