Chapter 18: Fight
"Cheers!" Me, Kevin, Christian, and the other two new guys raised our mugs full of beer high up in the sky.
Bringing our mugs down, we looked at each other and smiled.
Spotting Dave and Nick, the two new members of our group, sitting besides each other on the left, I began to observe them quietly as I haven't seen them before.
One of them, a guy seemingly on his early twenties, has shaved head and has a slightly moderate facial appearance, he is also shorter than me by a few inches.
Next one is a chubby guy, not fat... based on his facial appearance, his age does seem to be under eighteen years old, he has a messy hair and an oversized nose.
"Albert!" Kevin's words made me turn my head towards him.
"Yeah?" I said as I brought a cigarette on my lips, before lighting it.
"Meet our new boys." Kevin pointed to the two guys besides Christian.
Puffing a smoke, I can see Christian had a slight smile on his face.
Oh, he's probably proud of himself since he is the reason why these two are currently here.
"Dave" the chubby one extended his hands towards me to which I shook gently.
"Nice to meet you." I said, before taking another puff from the cigarette.
"Nick" the baldy guy also extended his hands towards me.
Oh... the guy who's providing us a small income every week.
What a f*cking savior.
"I greatly appreciate and thank you for your help" I shook his hands gratefully.
"Just helping is all, boss." he smiled.
Letting go of his hands, I took another puff of the cigarette, before taking a sip of the glass of beer in front of me.
"I'm glad you're finally out, Albert." Christian placed a hand on my shoulder.
"Yeah, because we're finally having a lot of work to do now since I'm out and free." I said to them.
But instead of frowning or complain as I have expected, they instead began to smile at me with excitement.
Oh, If they're really willing, then that's good.
"More work means more cash!" Kevin gulped his glass of beer in one go.
"Yeah" All of us said in unison.
Taking another sip of the glass of beer in front of me, I turned towards the crowd of people dancing below the lights of the disco ball that hanged around the ceiling.
But that was until I noticed a group of three men cornering a girl in her own table.
What the...
Inside a f*cking overcrowded building, you're going to harass someone, really?
Shaking my head in disappointment, I puff another smoke as I turn my head back in front of me.
"So, what are your plans now?" Kevin asked me.
Plans huh, in fact, I really had a lot now.
But the thing is...
I don't really have the confidence of accomplishing it, much less saying it in front of them.
"My plans?"
They all nodded at my words.
"I was thinking of extorting a few shops and stores near my neighborhood for protection every week or... months, it depends." I said.
They all looked at each other before looking back at me and began thinking to themselves.
Christian, who has his hands on his chin, was the first one to speak.
"How can we make them pay?"
I chuckled at his words before speaking.
"Then make them pay... whether they like it or not, they're definitely getting that 'protection' that they deserved!" I explained to them.
All of them starts laughing at my words.
"You can trust me in thrashing their whole store if they're too stubborn!" Dave added, receiving another fits of laughter from us.
Taking another puff from my cigarette, I started to hear a lot of noise behind me, including Kevin and the others.
Turning towards the noise, I can clearly see the girl is fighting against the three guys now, but what caught our attention was that the three guys were instead the one's who were struggling.
"What the..." Kevin's jaw suddenly dropped.
At this, I just noticed a small crowd forming around where the fight currently is.
But, I believe in reality and it's only a matter of time before the girl becomes exhausted and get beaten to a pulp by the other three guys.
Shaking my head uninterestedly, I turn my head back in front of me then took one last puff from my cigarette before flicking it at a nearby ash tray.
But just as I was about to take another sip from my glass of beer in front of me, a man suddenly came crashing at our table, throwing my drink and shattering it into pieces on the floor, followed by screams as numerous onlookers began to run out from the club.
Me, Kevin and the rest stared with our mouths open wide as the man on the floor struggled to get up.
Turning our heads towards where he flew from, I can see the girl from earlier standing over the unconscious bodies of the other two guys.
Did she done all of that?... Impossible.
She then began walking towards our direction.
Seeing that, Christian nearly spill the beer inside his mouth, While Kevin and the rest scrambled away and made path for her.
I was the only one standing in her way, besides me was the guy who flew earlier and spilled my drink, barely standing and using a nearby stool as support to lift himself up.
What the hell are you doing Albert?!
I just realized that I was completely frozen in my place, unable to move a single muscle.
F*cking move, Albert!
Glancing towards my buddies on the sides, I can see them gesturing for me to move away silently.
Turning my eyes towards the girl still walking towards my direction, I can now get a good look at her since she's already a few meters away from me.
Based on her appearance she's probably on her middle twenty's... she had short black hair, a gorgeous face, complete with large round eyes, slightly thick brows, and long nose, not only that, she had piercings on her face, one on her nose, and another one below her lips, and also numerous earrings and piercings on both of her ears.
Damn, she looks... badass, this isn't even a girl but an angry little devil, her short height can sometimes make people mistake her for a girl.
"Move" she said, giving me a glare.
"Wha-" my words were interrupted as the battered guy besides me suddenly brought out a .38 pistol, and aimed it directly on her face.
Everyone in the club gasped at this, including the 'girl' as she stopped walking.
"Whoa, put it down fella." the girl raised her hands cautiously as she slowly moved forward towards the man.
"I'll f*cking shoot you bitch!" the man yelled as he cock the gun, making the rest of the people including Kevin and the others to immediately run towards the exit.
"Albert let's go!" Kevin lastly said as he stepped outside with the others.
Now it was just the three of us in the building.
Staring at the man besides me, I suddenly remembered the way he spilled and shattered my drink Kevin bought for me.
Oh yeah, f*cking as*hole.
Feeling determined to keep my pride, I grabbed an empty bottle from a nearby table and immediately slammed it on the man's head, effectively knocking him out cold.
"Shit" the girl's eyes went wide as she stared at the body on the floor before looking back at me.
"What? he spilled my drink." I shrugged as I turned my back on her and started walking for the exit.
Oh wait!
Turning around, she watched me as I went back and crouched down towards the man's body below.
"What are you doing?"
Ignoring her question, I picked the gun from the man's hand and immediately tucked it in my pants.
Getting up, I noticed she's giving me a surprise look but didn't say anything.
Winking at her, I made my way towards the exit.
Now I had a f*cking gun!
Stepping outside, I immediately saw a crowd staring right at me.
Luckily no one has called the cops.
"Is she okay?" Asked Kevin as he rushed out from the crowd, followed by the rest of the gang.
This punk..
"You should be asking if I'm okay, you just left me there." I frowned at them.
He went silent for a while, before speaking.
"I thought you were following behind us." Kevin responded.
"Yeah" Christian and the rest nodded their heads.
"Whatever, let's get the f*ck out of here." I said to them.
"How about the girl?" Kevin asked.
Turning towards him, I can see everyone doesn't give a sh*t, except Kevin.
"He can stay here and let him f*ck her all day." Dave said to which we all chuckled.
"Fine!" Kevin said as he dragged us all away from the club, and also under the gaze of everyone else present in the scene.
What a day!
