A man in a navy blue suit, with brown hair asked. Lovina turned her head to hide the tears as she answered with , "Yes mr. jones."

"No it's not. I'm here to pay off Lovina's debt." Antonio.

"Oh really?" Mr. Jones.

"No he's not Mr. Jones! Antonio please leave. I'll be home later tonight."

"No not till your debt is payed off."

"Mr. Correido, that would be a problem for two reasons. One being, I see no money and two Lovi is such a good worker we may not let her go."

"What happened to our contract! I was only to stay until my debt was gone!" Lovina cried.

"Your contract seemed to have disappeared. Until it is found, you work for us."

Antonio pulled out his battle ax, Gilbert and Francis moved closer to Mr. Jones. Mr. Jones looked at Gilbert, Francis, Antonio then back and forth between the ax and Antonio. He seemed to consider everything before him.

"I have a better idea. I'll let her go, if you work as my torturer."

"how bout I just kill you?" Antonio took another step, but was stopped by Gilbert.

"Francis get her out of here! Start walking home."

Francis grabbed Lovina's hand and started to drag her away, but she struggled and got free. She was about to run to Antonio, but was grabbed by Mr. Jones who pinned her to his chest, gun to the side of her head. Lovina looked Antonio in the eyes as hers went wide. Everyone froze at the sight.

"good now that I have everyone's attention, this is what's going to happen. Antonio, you will kill your two friends here, or I shoot Lovina. Then you will work for me, as will Lovina or I will kill you both and your families. Make your choice."

"Let her go or you will be sorry."

"You're in no position to negotiate anything."

"No, you're not. I can kill my friends and feel guilty, but hatred towards you, which in turn will force me to push Lovina away. Next thing you know, you're dead because I gave the wrong information on purpose, so it's okay."

"If anything happens to me, Lovina will die."

"but I said I push her away so she means nothing to me. you kill her so what?"

"Hmmm… Lovina you're free to go. You're debt has been paid. Get out of my sight before I change my mind."

He pushed Lovina away, Antonio slowly took Lovina's hand, brought her closer and held her to his chest. He walked past with Lovina close beside him and Gilbert and Francis next to them. There was a shot fired and Antonio froze, then fell to the ground. Lovina screamed, Francis dropped to Antonio's side, Gilbert attacked Mr. Jones.
