The Love From Vengeance

46: OLD POPS DICKSON

ARIEL’S POV

Luke and I stood still while the baldheaded man kept his gun aimed at us without wavering. His large belly stood out prominently beneath his shirt, and his face was adorned with a snowy white beard.

We couldn’t help but notice the scar right across his cheek, and adding to the unsettling image, his mouth revealed a set of decayed teeth, which was kind of disgusting. I’d rather eat a dog poop than

“Hell no,” I whispered back.

“Silence!” The baldheaded man shrieked immediately, causing me to tremble. Luke just shook his head in a silent laugh. He didn’t even seem terrified at all.

“Haven’t you heard that those who enters Old Pops Dickson’s yard never comes out alive?” The baldheaded man continued with his infuriated tone.

“We haven’t heard about this place before,” Luke said after a chuckle. “And by the way, you need to change that name of yours. I mean, come on, you should be in your early fifties or something.”
