episode 2
A low voice sound from behind me, buttery soft yet harsh at the sometime, like malt whisky burning it's way down my throat
???
It's seems I've arrived just in time
this man is tall and broad his cold eyes calculating and harsh against the usual warmth of my store he looks older, maybe in his 30's or so
But most striking is the thing scar that runs over his eyes like a beast's claws. He came closer and help me to get up
???
(A small smirk raises to his face)
???
I'll ask again...what exactly is going on here
His voice is rough and low with a hint of an accent peeking through. French perhaps
Michael
Well, well, well... what a surprise to see you here you've walked in on some family business
the stranger's gaze snaps to Michael, and his eyes narrow Michael's sharpen as well and I frown
Mike
*wait they know each other*
Michael walks up to me, clasping a hand on my shoulder and squeezing tightly.. which made me wince
Michael
My cousin and I were just having a little argument. You know how young men can get. Nothing serious
Michael
Isn't that right mike
He leans down and whispering in my ear
Michael
Do what I say you little shit
I glare defiantly back at him. The man hums, drawing my attention to him
???
Are you sure it isn't anything serious?
He stares at Michael with disdain as if his calculating gaze can see through to the heart of him
???
Because if it is, I'll gladly help you with your problem
His eyes pierced into my eyes, freezing me in place with their intensity. I swallowed, looking from the stranger to my cousin
Mike
*if I keep quiet Michael won't leave me alone*
Mike
He was threatening me in my own store, which I don't appreciate
Michael
*what the heck he really told him what happened this son of bitch*
The man hum, his piercing eyes appraising me and Michael in silent judgment
Then he steps between me and Michael plucking my cousin's hand off me like he would on an insect
???
In that case you better get away from the young man before someone makes you
Michael scoffs taking a few steps back
Michael
Are you threatening me!
???
Why yes I thought that I was obvious
Michael seethes but the stranger stays put
The stranger looked at me and asked me a question
???
Do you want him out of the store
???
Looking at Michael... you heard the man
???
Honestly it's hard to come by these days, especially when you're being threatened by scum
Michael
What did you call me? You fucking..
Michael step's up to him raising his hand
But the stranger moves fast catching Michael's hand before he can strike
When he speaks his voice lowers into a cold, near-growl, a warning
???
Don't try my patients today Michael
I stared in shock at the scene. But before I could do anything the stranger let Michael go
???
Sors de ma vue (Get out of my sight in French)
Michael backs off before glaring right at me
Michael
We aren't done yet
Michael stalks off the door clattering closed behind him
The man sighs straightening the cuffs of his pristine suit
???
I apologize there was no need for you to see that
