34 AN ULTRA VIOLENT FAIRY TALE

Before he could finish talking, the office door opened and in walked Eric who wore suits much like his younger brother but they looked ill fitting and he always appeared uncomfortable in them. Most times, like now, his black tie was loosened and his collar button undone revealing a hairy chest beneath. He was accompanied by a pair of his men from his crew dressed in suits and tie, hidden deep under their jackets the men carried twenty two caliber pistols in side holsters.

“Detroit says you need to talk to me.” said Eric who took off his jacket and handed it to one of his men.

Luke stood up holding Maureen, using her more for something to hold onto rather than to help her up.

His heart trip hammered in his chest making breathing difficult, he could taste the sweat forming on his lips and he cringed.

“Yeah, uh um...uh I you...know the fairy that was here a little while back...”

Eric was like a statue as Luke explained, his knees wanted to shake but he kept them apart. He had barely finished talking when Eric suddenly had him up against the wall with both hands around his throat. Maureen’s hysterical crying started up again as Luke let out a gasp that burned his throat.

“Eric..” he said in strained choking breath. “please...lemme go.”

Much to his surprise, Eric did let him go. He fell to the floor coughing with a hand on his neck as he gulped in air like water. Before he could thank his brother, Eric pulled him off the floor with a meaty fist under his arm.

“You fucked a fairy, and this dumb cow called The Order on her. So she broke out of jail and is heading this way. Is that about the size of it?”

“Yeah, but Eric is wasn’t like...”

“Shut the fuck up,” Eric said in a calm voice and letting go of his arm and walking away. “you know what I had to do to build this place while you were trying to stick your dick in any hairy hole you could find...”

“You can kill her, I mean, we can...”

Eric came up to his brother again taking him by the collar holding him nose tip to nose tip as he spoke.
