Chapter 74: I’ll Take That as a Yes.

Alright, Tallis and Theo might be two different people, but they both could be jerks!

Since the conversation with Tallis didn’t go anywhere, I decided to call it a night.

But what I didn’t expect was a group of thick, muscular thugs that appeared from nowhere, blocking my way back to my parents’ house. They snickered and closed in around me.

“What do you want?” I asked harshly.

“They don’t want anything. However, we have an unfinished score to settle,” Hawke’s angry, frustrated voice barked out from behind the thugs.

“I didn’t do anything to you,” I insisted, crossing my arms and trying to act more like a guy.

“Well, the last time we spoke, I ended up knocked out and face down in the dirt. You’re telling me that you had nothing to do with that?” Hawke shouted viciously.

Apparently, he remembered more than I hoped. He wasn’t drunk tonight, either.

“Grab this little twit!” Hawke ordered.
