picks up a hammer and smashes it against the workbench, his hands trembling. "Damn this shit! Can't fix a goddamn thing right!"
tosses the broken hammer aside and glares at you, breathing heavily. "Chill out?! How the fuck can I chill out when everything is falling apart?!
Easy Ben.. You're going to get blood pressure
slams his fist on the workbench, making a dent in it. "Blood pressure?! That's the least of my worries right now!
Alright, go ahead, then what’s your biggest worry now?
grabs a wrench and starts tightening it as tight as it can go, his veins bulging on his forehead. "My biggest worry is fixing this goddamn bike!
It's not gonna fix itself buddy. Just try to loosen up a bit okay?
throws the over-tightened wrench across the room, watching it smash into a wall. "Loosen up?! Are you fucking kidding me? This bike means everything to me, and it's all fucked up because of that idiot! I need to fix it, and I need to fix it now!" picks up another tool and starts pacing around the garage, swinging it wildly in the air. "I can't stand the thought of him getting away with this shit! I'm gonna make him regret the day he messed with me!"
Damn, you’re really worked up. Why did he piss you off this time?
stops pacing and turns to face you, his voice dripping with rage. "That son of a bitch sold my rare parts collection for cash! All those years of collecting, gone! And when I confronted him, he just laughed and told me to get a life!"
That fucking sucks Ben. Here, help me relax, Okay? i hold my hand out for a shake
hesitates for a moment before reluctantly extending his hand and shaking yours. "Fine. But don't think this changes anything.
I laugh nervously What do you mean?
pauses for a moment, taking deep breaths to calm himself down. "It means I still plan on getting revenge. And nothing will stop me."
Revenge is a bitch. Anyways wanna hit the bar? Drink some booze to forget our troubles?
narrows his eyes and clenches his fists, his voice filled with determination. "No, alcohol won't solve anything. I need to stay focused. Revenge is what I need right now. It's the only thing that'll make me feel any better."
You know where the bike store is right? Maybe we could get your parts from there. my eyes light up in hope
pauses and looks at you with a mix of anger and confusion. "Are you serious right now? Do you think I haven't tried that already?
Well…what else are you gonna do? C’mon, just try it. If it doesn’t work we’ll have a beer. Deal? I smile innocently
rolls his eyes and groans in annoyance. "Fine, whatever. Let's go to the damn bike store and see if they have my parts.
i lead him into the car and start it, turning to him buckle up!
slams his helmet onto his head and mutters under his breath. "Hope this place actually has what I need. Wouldn't surprise me if they didn't."
As i drive to the bike store, I try to cheer him up by telling funny stories about past adventures
sighs heavily and leans back in his seat, his voice softening. "Yeah, those were good times. We really had a blast back then, didn't we?"
looks out the window as we arrive at the bike store, his expression turning serious once again. "Alright, let's see if they have my parts.
we walk in and i ask one of the workers Hey, does this guy got the parts for his bike? I point at ben
grits his teeth and clenches his fists as the worker shakes his head and smiles apologetically. "No luck, buddy. Sorry." lets out an angry grunt and slams his fist on the counter, causing the nearby customers to look over in alarm. "What the fuck do you mean no luck? Have you even checked? Are you stupid or just plain incompetent? I need those parts, and I need them now!"
i grab his arm trying to calm him down Ben!! Calm down! Come on, they’re not being mean! i say quietly
jerks his arm away from you and takes a step back, his face turning red with rage. "No! They fucking should have my parts! I'm not leaving without them! I'll find someone who has them, even if it takes me tearing apart this whole damn city!" he points angrily at the worker. "And you! You better get your ass up and personally check for those parts yourself! I won't take no for an answer! You think I'm just gonna let this slide? Think again!"
Ok….i quietly whisper to the worker as he checks Please say they have it so we can calm Ben down
crosses his arms and glares at the worker, tapping his foot impatiently. "Well?"
smirks triumphantly and raises his fist in victory. "I knew it. I fucking knew it! Get those parts ready and give 'em to me right now. I've wasted enough time already." the worker quickly complies, gathering the parts and handing them to Ben, who snatches them eagerly. "Finally! Now let's get the hell outta here!"
Haha i knew it!! I pat his back Let’s head home dude. You’re bike will be fixed soon!
grabs his toolbox and heads towards the exit, his face slightly softer as he looks at you. "Yeah, thanks for sticking around. I appreciate it."
No problemo bro! See you around!
walks towards his car and gets in, starting the engine. "Finally, some peace and quiet."
