Authors note: Hey guys new story. This one is probably one of my favorites so far, but I love this show like nobody's business. This story kind of ties in with another one of my favorite movies. But I am not marking it as a cross over because its not really. They just get mentioned in a couple of chapters and its before the movie. Anyway this Story is during the first Boondock Saints. Enjoy and please review.
I arrived at the meat packing plant for my third day of the job. The foul smell of raw meat hit my nostrils as I opened the door. I unconsciously started to gag. I wasn't used to the smell. I couldn't see how you could get used to it. Jan was my trainer for the job. She saw me and walked over.
"You look like your gonna puke." she said.
"Ya." was all I could muster trying not to gag let alone throw up.
"You'll get used to the smell. It takes time, but you will." she said reassuringly. I nodded my head and followed her into the locker room. I grabbed my apron and tied on my hair net and made my way to the work room. I hadn't had time to really meet anyone here. The people I had met, besides Jan, were nice. The majority of everyone here was Irish. I have like 3% Irish in my blood.
"How long did it take you to get used to the smell?" I asked Jan after I could stand to talk without gagging.
"About 2 weeks, without gagging, or having it haunt me at night in my clothes." she said and smiled. She was a sweet lady. She was a little older maybe in her 40's. I was almost 23 and I looked a lot older. Made sense to me though. I had been through more than people could imagine. I shook my head trying to get rid of my haunting past.
"Great." I said with a smirk. We started the never ending job of packing meat.
"So darling what did you do before this? And why the hell did you leave?" she said with a humorous tone.
"Well I have a friend that owns a bakery I worked there for a while. I still actually work there. She bet me I was incapable of getting a job because of my..." I stopped. I couldn't bring myself to say past.
"Its OK darling. All of us have pasts, some not so great. Its who you are now that matters." she said reassuring. I smiled and was about to say something when I heard a yell. I looked in the direction of the yell. It was two men that worked here. I think there names were Connor and Murphy. I don't know though. They were hitting each other with meat. We all started to laugh. I knew they were brothers and some times had that humor that a lot of people can't handle. I had met them on my first day of the job. They seemed nice to me. After their "meat fight" they went back to work and cleaning themselves up. They are both pretty cute. I hope I can hold this job long enough to get to know them.
"Those MacManus brothers." Jan said standing next to me shaking her head with a grin. "They are such a hoot." I laughed a little at that. I glanced over in there direction. The boss introducing a woman to them.
"Looks like we have a new employee." I said. She looked over to where I was talking.
"This could be fun." she said with a wink.
"Why?" I said slightly confused.
"You'll see." she said with a smile. A couple of minutes later the woman blurted out.
"Rule of thumb? Do you know what that term comes from? In the early 1900's it used to be legal for men to beat their wives as long as they used a stick no wider than their thumb." she said. My full attention was on them now. Great a feminist lesbian bitch. This is going to get nasty fast. I hated those types of women. Not the lesbian part by all means be lesbian I have no problem with that. I hated the type of full blown feminist women who think all men are evil and wrong. They made me want to attack them out of frustration.
"Eh well we cant do much damage with that, now can we?" I faintly heard one of the brothers say. I snickered a little at his comment. He was going to get his ass kicked fast. I may have remembered their names but I had forgotten which one was which. I was proud of myself for at least remembering their names in the first place. All my guards went up. Something was going to happen. I didn't hear what else he had said but she looked pissed off. He walked to his brother.
"Hey Murph." he said. So this one was Connor.
"Eh?" he said.
"How many lesbians does it take to screw in a light bulb?" I almost buried my head in my hands, but then remembered the bloody gloves I was wearing.
"What?" Jan said.
"You were right," I said and looked over at her. "this is going to be fun." She then tuned in to what was going on around her. I didn't hear the end of the joke I just heard the brothers laughing and the woman walking over to Connor.
"I knew you pricks would give me problems." she said and shoved Connor. "Give me shit cause I'm a woman." I rolled my eyes and walked over to the other side of the table so they were behind me. I turned around so I could see this unfold.
"Well I'm not going to take your male dumbness bullshit" she said. I turned and looked at Jan she looked at me and rolled our eyes. Then we both looked at the scene in the factory.
"Relax I'm just trying to get a rise out of ya." Connor said.
"Well its working." I said to Jan under my breath.
"Fuck you, and Fuck you too." she said to each brother.
"Come on its St. Patty's day. It all in good fun." Murphy said.
"Oh does Baumgartener sound Irish to you fuck face?" she said to Murphy.
"Relax, just calm down." Connor said. She turned around and decked him in the face. A lot of people gasped as he staggered back holding his nose.
"Maybe perhaps you should save all that aggression for protesting in the march..." Connor said holding his nose. She kicked him in the nuts. Jan and I ran over to Connor and held his hand you could tell he was in pain. This bitch was pissing me off. She started all of this. Ya the brothers did antagonize it but she made herself a target.
"You two fucking slaves cow towing to the needs of men." she began saying. I placed Connors head in my lap Jan was holding his hand. "Get up, get the fuck up and leave him be." she said.
"What the fuck did you call me?" I said placing Connors head on the floor.
"A slave. How can you be one to a man? They do nothing for you." she said I laughed and walked over to her. She towered over me. I was only 5'6" she had to be at least 6'.
"You know women like you piss me off. You are a man hating feminist that needs to take a dose of reality and shut the fuck up." I said getting in her face. She looked like she was going to tear my head off.
"You are so brainwashed by society. You cant even see that men control your every move!" she said.
"Untouched by man eh?" I said referring to the tattoo on her neck. "How the fuck do you think you got here? Came out of the ocean like a creature from the black lagoon?" I heard the brothers, Jan and some other people laugh. The woman shook her head. She turned towards Murphy who was laughing loudly and uncontrollably and got ready to deck him.
"Bitch I wasn't done talking to you." I said to her. She turned around and I decked her in the face. "There's a hit of reality for ya."
