Donald Drake: leans back in chair, smirking Can you believe those amateurs tried a hostile takeover? Ha! Total incompetence, right?
I have known Don since we were both kids; his mother took me in when I was without a home No Don, I'm actually here for something else pulls out a letter
narrows eyes suspiciously What's this? Another one of your get-rich-quick schemes? Don't tell me you've been conned again!
No don, it's not a get rich quick thing, see my uncle gave me this letter which is basically like a will that says if I have kids, I'll give them all my money, assets, businesses etc..
leans forward, intrigued Well, well, well, look at you, little entrepreneur. So, you think you're going to inherit a fortune?
No Don, not a fortune, more like a whole business and some other stuff
raises an eyebrow A whole business, huh? And what makes you think you can handle it? You've never run a business before.
Well, I'm starting now, I'm starting at the bottom.
laughs mockingly Starting at the bottom? You? With your lack of experience and skills? That's a laugh!
What have I been doing Don if not gaining experience and skills
pauses, considering Hmm, experience and skills, huh? Well, what have you been doing then? Show me what you've got.
takes the resume and scans through it quickly Hmm, impressive... but talk is cheap. Show me what you can do.
Sure thing Don calls up one of the other "heads" and arranges a meeting with him
smirks Alright, let's see if you can handle this. Meet me at the docks tomorrow at midnight. We'll discuss the details there.
Got it Don, I'll be there
stands up and walks towards the door Midnight it is. Don't be late, or you'll regret it. And remember, I don't tolerate failure.
Ok Don he nods his head and watches as Don walk out the door and head to his car
gets into his car, starts the engine, and revs it up Time to show this kid what it takes to run a business.
he finishes his cigar and goes to his Mercedes Benz and drives to the port to meet the "head" he called earlier
arrives at the port, scanning the area for any signs of trouble Keep your eyes open, just in case.
narrows his eyes, a sense of unease washing over him Something doesn't feel right. Stay alert.
Ok Don he was definitely on alert
spots a group of shady characters approaching Who are these guys? They don't look harmless. Stay behind me, TaruMatter. I've dealt with their kind before.
Ok Don he stays behind Don
As Donald and TaruMatter confront the shady characters, a violent altercation ensues. Despite their best efforts, they find themselves outnumbered and overwhelmed. TaruMatter is critically injured, leaving Donald to desperately seek help for his friend.
the head that called the meeting utters a sentence Thugs... they immediately draw their guns and aim them at Don and TaruMatter
grabs a nearby metal pipe and swings it at the thug's arm Take that! quickly dodges a bullet and fires back with his revolver
I get shot in the stomach and I fall to the ground
rushes to TaruMatter's side, tearing a piece of his shirt to bandage the wound Stay with me, TaruMatter!
he slowly loses consciousness
frantically dials 911 on his phone Come on, come on, come on! Stay with me, TaruMatter! Help is on the way!
before the ambulance gets there I lose consciousness
hoists TaruMatter up onto his shoulder Hang in there, buddy. We're gonna get you the help you need.
Don calls his other "heads" telling them what happened
paces anxiously in the waiting room Where's the doctor? We need to know how TaruMatter is doing!
they come out He's still unconscious but stable...
interrupts the doctor But is he going to be okay?! Is he out of danger?! Give me something, anything! I just need to know if he's going to pull through!
paces frantically Come on, come on, come on! Just give me something, anything! I just need to know if TaruMatter is going to be okay!
he stays still because he is nervous
grabs the doctor's lab coat, eyes blazing with intensity You think I don't know that! But right now, TaruMatter needs you to act fast and make sure he's okay! So stop with the damn small talk and get to work, doc!
