Ch 22 Things Happen
~At the shop~
Fu just finished watching his pick come in 6th place in the race. Fu bet a lot for that one to win. He knew in his mind that things were spiraling down fast he was already high in debt and someone was going to come looking for the money after he lost another bet. Yet he stored it away at the back of his mind and that was mistake number one. Mistake number two was answering the door when there was a knock on the back door.
At the door stood Morty who worked to collect the money for Big Ernie.
"Where's the money" he asked holding a club.
Fu slammed the door shut in fear and slowly moved away from it. Mistake three was not thinking he'd kick the door in. For that's exactly what happened.
"Ernie wants his money," he said looking down at the canine. "And if he doesn't get his money this is going to end very painfully."
"Ah, I'll get the money I need a little more time" Fu said slowly stepping back.
"Times up" He said coming at Fu.
Fu was backed up to the couch; he took a look at the sleeping Jake having an idea hit him.
"You could ruff me up for the money but I think it's only fair to warn you of the consequences" Fu said calmly.
"What consequences" Morty asked halting for a moment.
"I'm watching the grandson of Loa Shi, the former Chinese dragon" Fu emphases the last part. "I'm just thinking the kids been through a lot and if he wakes up, seeing you beating me up may traumatize him and I'm not the one Loa Shi's going to come after if it happens it's going to be you" Fu explained. "Now you got to ask your self do you really want to risk a dragon looking to roast you."
It took a moment for what Fu was saying to sink in. When it finally did Morty decided it best to leave.
"I be back later for the money when boy gone" Morty said the left the shop.
Fu left out a sigh of relief.
"Don't bother coming back the kid's staying here" Fu said with positive attitude now that the attacker had left. "And to think I didn't want him staying here at first."
Fu heard the front door open announcing that the old man was home.
"Jake still asleep" Loa asked as he walked into the back.
"Yep, and everything's perfectly fine" Fu said keeping an innocent tone.
"What happened to the door" Loa yelled seeing the door hanging on one hinge. "Fu dog," Loa said turning to the no longer innocent canine. Loa let out a string of words in Chinese. As Loa stood there still fuming over what the dog may have done the bell from the front of the shop went off.
The dog and man peeked out of the back to see two unusual visitors.
