Kevin Mongoose lifted his car jack out of his boot mumbling angrily to himself. What a day. His wife had burned his breakfast not for the first time this week either, she seemed distracted by something lately. When he'd gotten to work his boss had taken his own bad mood out on him and he just had to stand there and take it like a jackass and now he'd busted his tire right in the middle of main street.
He seen a young couple heading his direction, maybe he could get the lad to help him change tires. He was about to call out when he seen exactly who it was.
Ace and Laura were walking hand in hand down the street when a monstrous balding man with a red moustache and the face colouring to match started coming toward them.
"You two timing slut," he growled pointing his beefy finger in her direction.
He didn't get much further. Ace pounced on him, fists flying. Laura heard a sickening crack as the man's snapped to one side. The he moved backward, his nose streaming with blood, before swinging his own fists into Ace's chest, right at his broken ribs. Ace briefly keeled over in pain before reaching for his back pocket, flicking out his switchblade.
"Just make your move you fat sack of shit," Ace said coldly, steeling himself.
Kevin got one look at the knife before he began backing away towards his car, blood still teeming down his face.
"I'm gonna run you out of this town personally Merrill. You and your whore."
"What'd you fucking say?" Ace hissed, moving toward him.
Kevin turned and ran as fast as his legs could carry him.
"Coward," Ace snarled as he spat on the sidewalk.
Vince approached the couple at a sprint.
"What was that about?" he asked.
"Some homo mouthing off at Laura," Ace said his voice calm again.
"That's Peter's father," Laura stated her voice trembling. Nobody had ever spoken to her like that, especially not an adult.
She backed up to the wall and began slowly sinking to the ground. Ace grabbed her firmly by the arms and pulled her against him roughly. If Ace had known that was another Mongoose he would have chased the bastard down the street. He was sick of that whole family harassing his girl.
"Little bastards broken my nose," Kevin wailed as his wife applied a cold compress. "The police in this town are pathetic letting hoodlums like that run around. He could have knifed the whole community by now and still walk down main street happy as anything cause the prick's still a fucking minor."
Olivia just nodded in agreement, she was used to her husbands foul mouthed outbursts.
Eyeball was giddy. He loved a bit of destruction.
"So the stupid fucker just left it parked on main street," he cackled. This was gonna be great.
"Yup," said Ace nonchalantly as he took his first swing with his crowbar. Eyeball followed with gusto. Soon a flat tire was the least of the car's problems. They has smashed every window, dented every door and carved a few choice words into the paint. Eyeball took special pleasure in ripping apart the interior with his blade.
"Well," said Eyeball, resting his crowbar on his shoulder, "what do you think we should do now?"
Ace threw the stub of his cigarette into the car and turned to walk away.
"Wanna play some pool?" Eyeball asked
"I've got a better idea," Ace said with a smirk.
