A Special Gift
Tony sighed, huffing out in frustration. How hard could it be to put together one child's bike?! Hell, he used to make his own as a kid from spare parts.
He wanted to do something nice for the kid who had saved his younger sister. They were both held for ransom and Jacob took the brunt of the force used, actively taunting and fighting out when the men went to grab for his 6-year-old sister, Sarah.
"Lug 'A' goes into slot 'D', then tighten rod 'F' in-between..." Another breath was forced out as he chucked the Ikea-like instructions across his living room. What he put together looking nothing like a bike.
The poor 10-year-old kid almost dies to protect his sister and he can't even put together a simple bike. No, he wouldn't give up. Tony concentrated, remembering what he had done as a child.
By 5am, the newly made bike was now on Jacob's front porch, shiny name tag on its handlebars and Tony was sliding into work, two coffee's in hand.
