Brooklyn and Maya were grabbing the attention of most men in the strip club. Maybe even more then the strippers. He wasn't sure about how he felt about this Maya. He knew she was just having fun with Brooklyn but he didn't like the men looking at them.
"Maya, I think you and Brooklyn should leave." He said. "But why? We're just having a little fun." Brook said. "Yeah, Johnny why do want us to leave?" Maya asked. "Just do it." He said. Maya didn't like him telling her what to do but she reluctantly decided to leave. "Fine, we'll go." Maya said standing up. "Come on Brooklyn." "It's for the best." Johnny said but Maya ignored him.
Maya and Brooklyn were walking home when two guys from the club came up to them. "Hey, we saw you two dancing in there." The one guy said. "You ladies sure can move." The other one said. "Why don't you move it on over here, for us?" he suggested.
"No, thank you." Maya said turning to walk away. But one of the guys reached out and grabbed her by the arm. "Hey, baby. What's the rush?" he asked. "Let me go." She said. "We just wanna hang." The other guy said.
Brooklyn tried to help her but the other guy grabbed her from behind and was lifting her up. "Put me down!" Brook cried. "We asked you ladies nicely the first time." the guy said. "But you didn't want to listen so we have to do it the hard way." His friend said. Brooklyn bit the hand of the guy holding her and she fell to the ground.
"You stupid bitch!" the guy called out striking her with a backhand. The other guy was trying to back Maya into the wall. She kneed him in the groin and he fell to the ground. Then she ran over to where Brooklyn was lying on the ground.
"You ladies wanna do this the hard way. We'll do it the hard way." The other guy said walking over to them. Maya's heart was pounding. She was so afraid for her life and for Brooklyn's. These men would surely rape them.
She put her hands over her eyes and started crying expecting the worse. Then she heard the guy screaming. She opened her eyes just in time to see Johnny hurl him at the wall.
The guys immediately recognized Johnny and were cowering in fear. As Johnny pulled out his revolver, one of them even started to piss his pants. "We're sorry, Mr. Zacharra." The one guy said. "We… we didn't know you knew these ladies." The other said.
"You don't try to force any woman!" Johnny shouted. Maya was prepared to watch Johnny shoot them and kill them right there and then. But instead he reached into his pocket and handed her a phone. "Call the cops!" he instructed. She took the phone from him and immediately did as she was told.
Fifteen minutes later the police showed up."We were just trying to go home when these guys showed up. They tried to make advances and then got physical when we shot them down." Maya explained to the police.
"Then I showed up and held them here until you guys came." Johnny finished. "Check to see if Brooklyn is alright. She hit the ground pretty hard."
After making their statements and paramedics determining that Brooklyn was alright, they all got into Johnny's car. "When I tell to do something it's for your own good." Johnny said. "Don't come down to my club and put on another show like that ever again! I know what animals sometimes stop by." He said.
All Maya could do was nod at his every word as she had her arm around Brooklyn who was holding an icepack to the side of her face. Maya's arm was black and blue. "We were just trying to have fun." Maya said. "Have fun doing something else. Somewhere else." Johnny said.
He pulled up to the Quartermaine mansion. Maya and Brooklyn walked into the house hoping not to see Edward, Monica, or Tracy. Too bad her hopes didn't come true. As soon as the door closed, Edwards, Monica, and Tracy walked into the hall.
"My goodness! What happened? Did Johnny's mobster friends pay you a visit? I knew he would be trouble." Edward said. "What happened to your face, Brooklyn? It looks like you got smacked." Tracy said. "Some random guys attacked us." Maya said wrapping her coat tighter around her body.
"It's alright. Johnny came to our rescue." Brook said. "So now you're accessories to murder." Edward said. "No Great Grandfather! We called the police. The guys were taken down to the station." Maya said. "And I'll see to it that they are locked up for life. No one hurts my Great Granddaughters and gets away with it." Edward declared.
"Brooklyn, I'll help you upstairs."Monica said walking over to Brooklyn. "I think I have something for your face upstairs." Monica told her.
"I better get going. Be safe." Johnny told Maya. Out of respect for her great grandfather he only gave her a kiss on the cheek. "Good night." She said. "Good night." He said. "Hope you and Brooklyn sleep alright." He said before walking out.
"How long do you think your relationship with him is going to last?" Tracy asked. "What kind of question is that?" Maya asked. "A simple one. I mean it's been what, one day? And you've already gotten attacked." Tracy said.
"That wasn't his fault. They were random guys. I'm going upstairs to check on Brook." Maya said before heading up the stairs. "Why did you go out dressed like this?" Monica asked Brooklyn. "We wanted to have a good time on amateur night. We didn't expect to attract attempted rapists." Maya said. "Thank God. Johnny was there." Brooklyn said.
"Yes, you're very lucky your boyfriend was there to protect you." Monica told Maya. "Boyfriend? Since when? When were you gonna tell me?" Brook asked. "Later Tonight. We just started dating." Maya said.
"Save the girl talk for tomorrow. You both need your sleep." Monica stressed. "You've been through a lot in the past couple of hours."
