what we’re made of!’ Joey said.
    ‘Not
yet Joey, he needs to be educated about not talking to other people’s
girlfriend!’ Tony responds angrily. 
    ‘What
do you mean Tony?’ I asked.
    ‘Tony?
Dude, am I your friend that you have to call me by my name? Have we become
close buddies lately? Refresh my mind, as it seems that I must have been
suffering from amnesia or maybe psychosis? I don’t know which one it is but
which one do you thing? You must know the answer but as far I’m concern I had
not been diagnose by a shrink.’ Tony responds in a wry cowboy wit.
    His
boys zealously tittered.
    ‘Listen
I don’t have time for this non sense.’ I retaliated.
    ‘You
listen very carefully.’ Tony said as he points his finger in my face.
    ‘Come
on Tony let’s take him.’ One of his boys backs him up.
    Wicked
mind ,
I thought.
    ‘Not
yet!’ He responds and then said, ‘You’re already in trouble for chatting with
my girlfriend. So from now on you shall call me Mr Smart.’
    Startle
I grin at him as I fold both of my arms. Then deep in my mind I could hear Tony
repeating the same non sense. I put one hand on my mouth to hide the
uncontrollable grin. I wonder if he knew how ridiculous he sounds. There was no
way I could hide the funny expression on my face as I rewind the same thing in
my head.
    Playing
hard but not being smart I thought to myself …and beside if only
he could see himself saying that garbage, he would have realised how stupid it
was to say something like that.
    ‘What?
Am I a clown now? Do I look like a clown to you?!’ He asked flying into a rage
as he glares at me.
    ‘You’re
either joking or crazy.’ I sarcastically said as I tap his shoulder.
    ‘Beat
him up!’ Joey exhorted his desire.
    ‘Do
you hear the demand of my boys? Give me a reason why I shouldn’t let them play?
Beside they are dying to play kick your butt! Ever heard that game? No worries
once you’re on the ground with your pretty face smash then you’ll know that
game.’ Tony diplomatically extolled his colleague’s request.
    ‘Why
don’t you ask your demonic clown to stop hiding and talking in your shadows. He
should come out in the light to fulfil his demand by himself.’ I said as I walk
backward, keeping eye contacts with the gang and bowing in a ridicule manner
while I grin at them. 
    ‘Tony,
he’s taking the piss. Let’s get him.’ Allen who was also part of the gang
whispered.
    ‘Yes
it’s about high time we shut that big mouth of his before he get away.’
    Joey
agitatedly hissed out.    
    At
the back of my mind I knew what was waiting for me. I smell trouble. It was
trouble I could neither prevent from occurring nor defuse before it escalates.
It was a well laid out plan which they were determined to succeed. After all
Michael had stood up against Tony’s oppression and it turn out to be
embarrassing for the gang.
    ‘I
totally agree with my boys.’ Tony Responds.
    ‘What?’
    ‘You’re
taking us for a ride.’
    ‘Am
I?’
    ‘You
know what? Since I’m a gentleman I shall give you sixty seconds to disappear
and then we’ll come for you. When we found you your pretty girlfriend won’t be
able to recognise you. We shall practice disfigurement surgery on your face
with our knuckles. Beside, my boys are hungry for some training as we’ve got
doctor’s wannabe in our team. As my old man said, training and practice is
the definition of perfectionism. ’ Tony said .
    After
standing mute at her front door Samantha intervenes, ‘what’s your problem?’
    Tony
and his gang glance at her.
    ‘Stay
away nothing to do with you,’ Tony growled.
    Samantha
frowns at me. I nod for her to get in. She worriedly stares at me but
miraculously understand what I meant. She walks inside.
    Tony
was looking at his watch and taking a peek at me while holding his pack.
    After
all someone in his family wasn’t dumb, I thought thoroughly after his
last warning. I increase the speed of my steps which I took
