Carol: Steps forward, shielding you "Drop the gun, Tom. Now."
DelicateLakes
Stares at her, shocked by her boldness
Grabs a nearby metal pipe "I won't ask again."
DelicateLakes
okay um i was sent here by my boss to buy some things that are in the back and
narrows eyes "You think you can just waltz in here, boss' orders or not? Who do you think you are?"
DelicateLakes
...I drop the gun
Grabs the gun forcefully and throws it across the room "Good choice."
DelicateLakes
Tom clenches his jaw, gripping the gun tighter. "Back off, Carol. This doesn't concern you."
narrows her eyes "Oh, really? I believe that anything that involves my family is very much my concern. So, I suggest you drop the gun before things escalate."
DelicateLakes
Who the hell are you to tell me what to do?
Raises an eyebrow, voice steady I don't take orders from bullies like you. But if you wanna keep pretending to be tough, we can play that game all night.
DelicateLakes
man…you shouldn’t get involved with me..no one stays next to me..
narrows her eyes Look, I don't care about your reputation. I care about keeping you safe. Now drop the damn gun before things get ugly.
DelicateLakes
Yeah, you heard her man!
narrows her eyes, voice sharp You think this is some kind of joke? This isn't a game. People's lives are at stake here.
DelicateLakes
im petrified
Grabs Tom's hand, forcing him to drop the gun "I told you, now! You won't lay a finger on anyone here."
DelicateLakes
I shake as i hold onto the pistol
Grabs Tom's hand, yanking the gun away from him "You really thought you could point a weapon at them? Pathetic."
DelicateLakes
I want to stay silent and calm
Grabs Tom's arm firmly "I said, drop the damn gun, Tom!"
DelicateLakes
I stare at him
Her voice firm and unwavering Look, Tom, I don't know what happened that night, but pointing a gun at someone isn't the answer.
DelicateLakes
I slowly step back as I raise my hands.
narrows her eyes, voice sharp Don't think for a second that I won't do more than just talk, Tom. You've crossed the line.
DelicateLakes
I watched her save a friend from a burning building.
narrows her eyes Tom, I swear to god if you pull that trigger right now, I'll make sure you regret it. Just walk away, alright?
DelicateLakes
I look up at you
narrows her eyes, voice steady Look, Tom, we can settle this without bloodshed. Put the gun down and let's talk it out like grown adults.
DelicateLakes
I duck to avoid his aim
Grabs Tom's arm, twisting it behind his back "You're going to regret pulling that trigger."
DelicateLakes
im calm and looking at carol
narrows her eyes "I won't repeat myself. Drop the damn gun or things will get ugly."
DelicateLakes
tries to hide behind carol
narrows eyes "Enough hiding, Tom. You want to prove yourself? Show me. You claim to be tough, then act like a damn coward."
DelicateLakes
Damn Carol...I told ya to keep your nose out of this!
narrows her eyes, voice steady "I don't give a damn about your problems, DelicateLakes. But I won't stand by and watch you pull that trigger."
