Chapter 8

Alice’s eyes moved to the guy sitting a table away from the girl. He kept looking her way. Alice tilted her head.

“What are you looking at?” Khan asked as his eyes followed hers.” He sighed, “Yeah, I also noticed it when she came in. Looks like he has been following her for a while”

“Yeah. I saw that too. Can I please?” Alice asked

Khan narrowed his eyes at her. “You know I don’t get you. You hate this type of work but when you can teach someone like him a thing or two” He motioned with his chin toward the guy. “You look like a child in a candy store.”

“Yeah well, I like fighting. You like shooting. People like different things, and guys like that. You and I both know what he has in mind for her.”

He sighed. “We will see this as your warmup.”

Alice smiled triumphantly. She slowly stood up and walked to the guy and sat down in the chair opposite him.

“Hey there.” Alice greeted

“Get lost. I am working.”

“Yeah, I noticed. You wanna play?”

“What?” The guy asked

“Hey, Franky.”

Alice tilted her head to the side seeing a buffed-up bloke walking up to them.

“You’re in my seat lady.” The guy said in a croaking voice.

“Franky and I were just talking.” Out of the corner of her eyes, Alice noticed the girl standing up. She saw Franky in front of her getting anxious when he noticed that as well. “Get yourself another seat. This one is taken.” Alice said,

Franky’s attention was on the girl. He stood up and took out a few dollars out of his wallet and threw it on the table. As Franky wanted to walk past, Alice turned sideways in her chair and blocked him.

“Take your feet down lady!” Franky said,

Alice smirked up at him playfully,

“Why are you in such a hurry? Did I say something wrong?”

“If you don’t take your feet down, I will take it down for you,” Franky said annoyed. Franky’s friend was still standing next to Alice looking down at her as he cracked his knuckles.

“You know boys. I think I am going to enjoy playing with you two.”

Alice cracked her neck left then right. She stood up, standing a meter from Frankly. She turned and elbowed Franky in the face then slightly turned and kicked his friend in the groin. Franky’s hands automatically flew to his nose and his friend crossed his legs and slid to the ground. Alice turned, grabbed Franky by the head and threw him over her shoulder. The table split in half as he fell through. He clenched his stomach in pain as he rolled on his side. Alice noticed Franky’s friend fist coming toward her. She ducked sideways and grabbed Franky’s friend's arms. His eyes widen when he saw her smirking at him. She turned his arms. He screamed in agony as his bones stuck threw his flesh. Alice kneed him again in the groin. He kneeled to the ground. Screaming in pain when Alice stepped on his fingers with her black boots. He looked up at her with pleading eyes as the tears streamed down his cheeks.

“How disappointing. Get yourself a new target, gentlemen.” Alice said then walked toward the door.

Alice saw Khan leaning against the side of the building as the door closed behind her. He blew the smoke out and put the remaining cigarette out with his boot.

“Happy now?” Khan asked

She shrugged her shoulders, “What way did the girl go?" She asked as she looked both ways of the street.

“Do you know her?” Khan asked intrigued

“No, It’s the first time I saw her today.”

Khan tilted his head a bit, “Are you sure? You seem quite interested in her for someone who only saw her today”

Alice shrugged. “Let’s go,” Alice ignored Khan's suspicious gaze and walked toward the car.

 Franky stood up. “Ow” He cried out as he cracked his nose back in place. He grabbed a napkin on the table and wiped the blood that was pouring out of his nose roughly away.

“Sir, are you okay,” The waiter asked concerned

Franky jerked his head to the waiter and glared at him.

“Do I look like I am fucking okay to you?”

The waiter’s eyes widened and he immediately took a step back, “Can I help...”

“Fuck off.” Franky pushed the waiter to the side and walked to Tony.

“Tony get up!” Franky called out as he tapped Tony with his boots.

“Tony get up! “Franky called out again.

Franky crouched next to Tony and slapped him repeatedly against the cheek.

“Wake up!” Franky frowned when he saw Tony still out cold. Franky grabbed the jug of water that stood on a nearby table and threw it over Tony’s Face.

Tony instantly sat upstraight.

“AHHH”, He screamed out in agony. He looked down at his arm.

“My arm - Franky my arm. Look what the bitch did to my arm!”

“Shut up. Let’s go before the cops get here.”

Franky helped Tony up and they slowly walked out.

“The boss is going to kill us. We lost the girl.” Tony said

“I already know that. Shut up and let me think.” Franky snapped back.

“Can we.”

“No”
