~~ Chapter Two
Watching the people step out of the car was almost spooky. Jay turns to give Amy a look, and judge her reaction. Amy sensing Jay's eyes on her turns and smiles.
"Don't worry. Their regulars. Regulars that I wish would just stop coming but they are always kind of fun to laugh at."
"Some how that doesn't comfort me much."
Amy gave him a sad smile and then reached out and gave his leg a quick squeeze. They both looked into each other's eyes and then the door opened and 'The Regulars' filed in.
A blonde haired man led the pack, in his skintight black leather pants and plain with t-shirt. He had a black duster on that flew back as he quickly walked toward them.
"Well hello my lovely Amy. How are we this fine night?"
"I'm fine Gangrel. How about you and the little brood here?" Amy's tone was teasing, and Gangrel grinned at it.
The group lined up next to Gangrel, shoulder to shoulder. Jay looked at the little goth group. Next to Gangrel stood a tall longhaired blonde. He wore shiny vinyl pants, a form fitting navy blue t-shirt, a long trench coat and a pair of heavy combat boots. Next to him as another man with dark brown hair. He plainly wore a pair of nice fitting blue jeans and a green bar shirt. The only thing that made him a little freaky was the smudged eyeliner. The guy next to him was the brightest out of the group with bright purple hair with pink streaks. He wore a pair of baggy skater jeans and a white shirt that says, "Play hard or go home." The shy looking frightened girl at the end of the line looked very out of place with these guys. She wore a short baby blue dress and a pair of matching strappy shoes with 3-inch heels.
"I'm just dandy. We all are. Have you met little Torrie? Isn't she cute?" Gangrel smiled looking at the young girl.
"She's a cutie, no doubt."
"Which leads to the next question, who is this young man?"
"This is Jay. He is working the graveyard with me. Jay, this is Gangrel. And his little motley crew goes like this. The tall blonde there is Edge. The Courtney Love fan here with the eyeliner is Matt Hardy, and the Rainbow Headed Hipster is his brother Jeff. And as Gangrel said this is Torrie. See I have done my good deed for the day no now I'm required to do nothing. Enjoy."
Everyone laughed a little bit at her comment and then just stood there. The standoff begins.
"Ok punks, no loitering. Go get what you came for and then get the hell out of this store."
"Who ya calling punks, girly girl?" Jeff taunted as he started to walk away from the head counter.
"You boy. And don't any of you dare break anything!" Amy yelled after the departing group, watching as Edge turned and winked.
As soon as they were all out of sight, Jay turned and looked at her.
"Those guys are kind of freaky."
"Yeah well, you get used to it. They come every once and a while, usually with some other people. With them you get used to seeing Gangrel and his second in command, Edge. There are a few other people that are in his group. The girl is new though. There hasn't been a girl in their ranks for quite some time. Big scandalous issue with them, so don't bring it up, ok?"
"Yeah, I'll be sure not to. So are there any other regulars that I should know about?"
"Why? You thinking about switching shifts or something?"
"Anything to get away from Jennifer," Jay said with a shudder.
"Ok then, ummm. lets see. There is this one guy that comes in here who is a gun nut. He will talk your ear off about shooting something. His name is Steve. There are a couple of other people that come in all the time. Like this Olympic has-been named Kurt. Whenever both Kurt and Edge are here they get into a big fight. Last time I had to get in between them before they took down all of the merchandise. I don't know really. Actually I have lots of people come in here at night. Kind of funny. But you know, day shift has its normal people and I have my normal people."
"Yeah, real normal."
Both of them looked up to hear a squeak from Torrie as Matt tripped over her shoe and then falling back into the postcard rack. Torrie stood there stunned until Matt jumped back up on his feet with rage in his eyes.
"You little bitch!" Matt yelled at her.
Torrie quickly stepped behind Jeff, clinging to his shirt.
"Hold on Matt, she didn't do anything wrong." Jeff pleaded with his older brother. Matt just shoved his brother out of the way and then raised his hand at Torrie. As his hand started to come down, his body was violently shoved out of the way and too the floor.
"Matt Hardy if you dare touch one hair on that girl's head you will answer to me. Do you hear me?" Amy growled at him. It was easy to see the anger that pulsed off of her.
"How dare you tell me what I can and can not do with that little slut?" Matt began to get back to his feet. Heads were about to roll. Matt and Amy looked ready about to kill each other. Only one word silenced the man.
"Matt." Everyone looked over to Edge standing there, his grey eyes watching everything. Matt backed off from the group as soon as he saw the taller man. Jeff shifted over to Torrie and put his arm around her waist. Amy stood there for a moment before looking down at the mess of postcards. She promptly dropped down to her knees and started to clean up the mess. Edge knelt down to help her.
Gangrel appeared out of nowhere and after surveying the situation decided that it was best if they left for tonight.
"Come along kids. We have things to do."
And with that he walked toward the exit. Trailing behind him was a silently angry Matt Hardy, who kept glancing back at Torrie who was still in Jeff's arms.
"Edge." Gangrel said with the hint of authority to it from the doorway.
Edge stopped picking up the post cards and handed them to Amy. He smiled at her for a second and then got up. He then started walking out of the store. Stopping only to nod at Jay, with a somewhat cold look in his grey eyes.
After they left Jay when over to help Amy with the rest of the postcards.
"Well that was really interesting, don't you think?" Jay said as he placed a few postcards back in the right place.
"Yeah. Really interesting. Lets hope nothing else happens tonight. I'm tired already."
"I can't complain there."
Soon it was 4 in the morning and Jay was free to go.
"I'll see what I can do about changing my shift hours."
"Ok Jay, take care. Drive safe ok?"
Jay gave Amy a hug and then said, "Will do."
After Jay had left Amy walked the aisles fixing anything that was out of place. Then got a U-Boat out of Receiving and started stocking the shelves. She got most of the truck done before the next shift came in at 8.
"Hey Amy, how are you today?"
"I'm tried and I want to go home. Does that answer that for you?"
"Yeah, go home to night owl. I could never do your shift. So home off with you."
"Ok I'm out of here."
Amy went and clocked out and then left in a hurry. She wanted nothing more than to take a nice hot shower and go to sleep for a few hours.
