Chapter 8

They entered the bar with confidence. But Charlie had the feeling her confidence wasn't going to last as long as what she had hoped. To the left was a bar, with the usual drinks and a beer gut of a bar tender stood behide. To the right was tables and in the centre was three men playing cards. The rest of the place was empty as an alcoholics bottle of vodka.

'Well look what we got here.' said Roofie, looking up from his card game. 'Check it out boys. We got a fine piece of legs in our bar. Now we don't see that too often now these days.'

Charlie rolled her eyes and looked down at what she was wearing. It wasn't exactly the best thing to wear in a bar. Nearly all her legs were shown off from her high cut denim shorts.

'Ok, boys.' she said walking over leaving Johnny at the entrance. He decided to play cool and go over to the bar and order some drinks. He had the feeling he was gonna need it. 'I am gonna cut straight to the chase. I am looking for a guy named Jack. Ya heard of 'em?'

'Nope. But maybe if ya were to sit down over hear next to 'ol Roofie and me it might refresh my memory.'

Charlie walked over to them. She sat down all tough like and grabbed a shot of the table.

'Now you be careful there missy' said one of Roofies friends. 'Thats a triple shot of Tequlia.'

She picked it up and swigged the whole thing in one mouthful. It burned the back of her throat but she liked that feeling.

'Now. Like I said I am looking for a guy named Jack. And if ya don't tell me where he is I am gonna have to hurt ya's all, and you don't want me to do that now?'

They laughed. 'Maybe we know where he is, and maybe we ain't gonna tell ya. Ya see darling. Jacks owed us some money quite a while ago. Since he paid it back overdue I say we get some interest.'

Charlie stood reached down her top.

'Woah, boys check that out.' said Roofie. She pulled out a bundle of notes.

'Theres two grand up front. Should that cover it?' she asked.

'Phil' yelled Roofie. The bar tender walke over. 'Go get Jack for me.' As he walked off Charlie noticed, spilt booze covered the ground.

A minute later, Jack was brought out.

'Oh sis, are you a sight for sore eyes?'

'Sister, aye?' asked Roofie. 'Well since I got my interest, but you still got the pleasure of my sister Jack, I think its fair that in return I get the pleasure of yours.'

'Over my dead body' yelled Jack. 'You put on finger on my sister and you are dead.'

'Jack I think I can handle this' said Charlie smiling as she walked over to Roofie with a sexy grin. Johnny stood up and walked over to where Jack was standing. The bar tender didn't seem to mind and headed back over to the bar. Charlie had Roofies eyes locked onto hers and didn't notice when she picked up the full bottle of Tequila. She then walked backwards to where she stood near Johnny.

'Come on darling. I think we would be even once you and me got down to buisness. If you know what I mean' he said, trying to be seductive.

'Ok Roofie' she said confident. 'Heres the buisness. My brother, Johnny and I are now going to turn and walk out of your bar, with no strings attached.'

'Yeah, but that doesn't involve us knocking boots.'

'What are you Dorothy and you wanna go back to Kansas?.'

Johnny laughed and Jack joined in.

'You always had a way with words, little sis.'

'Yeah and you always had a way of getting into trouble.'

Jack stopped laughing and stood silent.

'Roofie, if you don't let us three walk right now, we are going to be walkin out of here while the place is burning down.'

'And how are you gonna do that little missy? I would like to see you try?' he said smuggly.

'Simple.' She smashed the bottle of tequila onto the floor. The liquid spread over the floor. She clicked her fingers and a flame appeared. 'Now let us walk, or this flame is going on the ground.'

The bar tender walked up behind Charlie and grabbed her. The flame on her fingers hit the floor, sparking the room alight.

She grabbed the bar tenders wrist and spun it around. He yelled in pain. Roofie made is way towards Charlie. But Johnny stopped him with a punch. Roofie fell to the floor.

'Jack get outta here now.' yelled Charlie trying to keep the bar tender off of her. Jack turned a ran out side looking for help. In no longer than 5 minutes Johnny and Charlie had the four men giving up. The bar was getting extremly smoky and they all were finding it hard to breathe. Except for Charlie and Johnny, they were used to smoke. Charlie ran through the flames and wasn't affected by them. She turned on the tap behind the bar and water come gushing out. She used her power to move the water across the whole room putting the flames out completly. All the smoke had just about cleared up when two cops ran in with her brother.

'Is everything alright in here?' one of the asked.

'We got told there was a disturbance.' said the other.

Charlie glared at Roofie. Flames dazzled in her eyes.

'No everything is fine here officiers. Just a misunderstanding is all. Its all been sorted out now.'

'Ok then.' one said and they turned and left.

The three of them walked out of Roofies bar. Leaving the four men inside still dazed. They started walking in no real direction, just taking everything in.

'Hey thanks for that. I owe you two.' said Jack.

'No problem' said Johnny.

'Just make sure it doesn't happen again.'

'Crap, I gotta go get your motor bike' said Jack, relising he left it out the front of the bar.

'Meet us at the Baxster Building then.' added Johnny as Jack ran back.

'The Baxster Building?' questioned Charlie.

'Yeah thats where I live. With Reed, Ben and Sue. Its getting late so we can stay there the night.'

'Ok. Will they mind?'

'No they will be happy to see me and meet my new friends.' He smiled.

Charlie smiled back.
