All the warm atmosphere seem to chill around in the fear of Mike because it was his area as was also confirmed by those men who came following that girl
The only reason behind this is that one rule which was absolute and lethal in those streets was that no one steps on someone's land without the individual's wish...
Mike grinned with asinine in his tone and questioned...
"Then...What you choose- yourself alive or this little fragile girl?"
And with his question, all the old people in torn clothes who were seemed to be poverty-stricken, display out their weapons-not the scraped knife or any wasted tin blade but high-quality Colombian made guns-actually big guns almost that of half arms of a fully adult.
All the old mates were glancing at Mike for his instant order to the three which was their daily work as well as a playful hobby.
With their eyes in awe and terror, three men who just had was an old rubbish gun from some 90s with just six bullets each which were never fired just once at its testing trial, swallow the wry saliva and found dealing was the only option to them.
"Life!!!"
The third one who had shaken in fear replied instantly without a brake!
"Deal! You go!!!"
With an energetic tone, Mike spared one's life but the rest two still stood in dilemma and thinking of other ways by which they could snatch her from Mike's paw.
"What about you two?!"
Coming back to serious, Mike circled a little taking the person's handgun who was standing just behind him into his big hands which were 10 times that of the little girl who still stood silently frightened holding his pants tightly by her those little hands and started blowing off the light thin layer of snowflakes which were showering from the strange sky.
And another glump was taken in....The third one countenance at them with his watery eyes,
"Let her go...we can get another if we live!!!"
He uttered begging them, And although they didn't want such a little speedster who was also girl, well girls were higher in demand in all over the underground world and looking at her petite developing features they truly believed that she was going to be much costlier and higher in demand as she will bloom in flower but ' life is a precious mean thing ', So they just nod in shame
And now all the pawns were under Mike's possession so what was to worry about?!
Getting an approved answer, Mike smiled with his teeth displaying and said sardonically...
"Wise choice!!!"
"Now leave my land and say hi to Jimmy for me..."
He added with mockery which was bitter to those 'three', The facial signs of the three strengthen but no-one utters a single bad word to Mike cause it was his land-his land his rule.
"...Hmmm..."
'Hmmm' was the sound they could create which still sound like a roar but yet Mike didn't accept it severely, say 'his wiser instant'.
