The Hardest Part II

“You’re sorry? What the fuck!? Sorry? Those assholes fucking kidnapped me!â€? she screamed; face beet red, the color of a poor ginger kid who was left in the sun for too long. Tears flew from her eyes as if there were a bomb scare in her ocular glands. “What… what have you done…â€? her fists fell limply upon my chest as she collapsed into my arms.

“I really thought it would be different this time. They’ve unionized and everything.â€?

“Unionized? And that makes it better? Have you ever seen a Scorsese movie? How is that better?â€? Her tears bled through my shirt; her pain dripping down my chest.

“Well, it does get worse. BioWeps wants me to go to work for them. And they’ve threatened Nick if I don’t.â€? She pushed me back with such sudden force, that I stumbled back until the wall saved my fall. “I had no idea this would… or could happen.â€?

“You fix this NOW ! Until then I’m taking Nick and we’re going to my parent’s.â€? She grabbed her Cosmo and walked upstairs. “Phil. I can’t go through that again. I just can’t.”
