We are being genuine, Stone.

“Oh, fuck off,” Stone, not believing that we are being genuine, scoffs, “What’s a beggar going to do to me? Your empty threats won’t work. I’m going to give my father one call, and he’s going to come for me. And he will destroy you all.”

Gerald ignores his prattling and goes on to make several calls, whispering furiously into the phone. Kayla hangs onto her boyfriend’s arm, looking frightened at the ten men in black glaring at them.

“I did what you asked,” I hear her plead from her boyfriend, “Can we leave now? I’m getting scared.”

“No, Stone will take care of it,” The bully reassures her, “The twerp can’t harm us. Who even is he? A nobody with some actor friends.”

“My master is anything but a nobody, your man,” calmly, Gerald locks his phone and shoves it back into his pocket, “And in thirty minutes time, you will see what exactly we’re capable of. I know everything about you, Stone Jeffreys, and your father. I know about your family corporation, your father’s business. And in thirty minutes time, you will be going bankrupt.

A flash of fear runs through Stone’s eyes, and I can see he hesitates for a moment. His confidence in thinking of us as losers and paid actors-which is so dumb- wavers.

But in the typical Stone fashion, he recovers and starts to laugh great belly laughs.

“This is such a joke,” he wheezes. “Did you think I would fall for that, Greyson? My father is the most powerful man in this city, there is no one above him. What can you do? You’re a waiter at a café, you live in a crap apartment where I won’t even let my dog live. You dress like a hobo and you can’t afford to take a date to a decent restaurant!”

His friends join him hesitantly, chuckling along with him. Gerald looks at him with a flat expression before giving me a side eye, “Although I said thirty minutes,” he tells me, “It should be much faster.”
