The Night Rose

Chapter 11

"Timothy! Watch out! There is someone-“ Timothy’s boss tried to warn him, but he was too late, Timothy was already bleeding, someone hit him at the back of his head. Timothy’s boss continued making such a painful face as if he was the one who got hurt, “Oh, ouch, that must have hurt…"

Timothy saw stars for a moment, and blood and wine were dripping out from his head; he was still dizzy, but he gained his composure and mocked his attackers, “What a cheap trick to hit behind my back.”

“It’s tactic, you piece of sh*t.”

“Yeah- a lazy one.” Timothy continued

Suddenly the attacker behind Timothy grabbed him and started to choke Timothy. He said to the ape looking man in front of him, “Boss, I got him to let's teach him some manners now."

The ape looking man didn't let this opportunity go and started to throw punches at Timothy simultaneously and powerful ones. Timothy couldn't do anything than receive those vicious hits to his stomach.

Timothy could feel each strike; he thought to himself, ‘Damn, they’re really pissed at boss… Ah, why did I have to get involved in his mess every time?’ Timothy started coughing and spitting blood. He feels light-headed, and his eyelids are getting heavier.

Timothy could barely stay awake. Ah crap… he feels weak. He knows he wouldn’t last long.

"Oh, my sweet flowers! I need to go and help poor Timothy out. I cannot watch how my employee gets trashed like that. It would leave a bad image of my company and especially about me." The boss said to the lady before spanking her bottoms and saw how the lady turned beet red instantly. The boss fixed his collar and steps into the fight.

The boss saw a young boy reeking of the smell of the street begging for change; the boss said to him, "You! Yes, you there! Go to the city guard and help them get here. I think we are going to need them later." He continued before throwing a silver coin at the young boy, “Please hurry up.”

The boss checked his clock and muttered to himself, “Ah… this will take a minute of my precious time.”

He diverts his gaze to the chair by the bar; the boss said to the bartender, "Bartender, I'm sorry, but I have to use this. Don't worry; I will pay the property damages back later."

After that, he took the chair under him before raising it up and started swinging towards the ape's back. He was fast and strong.

"Boss! Watch out! The skirt chaser is behind you with a chair!" However, the man holding Timothy was quicker and, just in time, warned the ape who dodged the chair. It ended up hitting Timothy straight to the face.

Timothy groaned from pain, “Ah, seriously?!”

"Oh, Timothy, when did you get there? I'm sorry; I didn't mean to hit you with the chair.

Maybe you should thank me as I think the chair fixed your ugly face." The boss said while looking at Timothy.

Timothy, who was released from the other man's strong grip, said to his boss, "Silas, I knew you always hated me, but I still try to save your sorry ass again! If this is the way you pay back to me, I'm quitting!"

"I would be more worried about the ape and his friend as they seem angrier now. I guess apes' friend learned that I was wooing his girl as well?" Silas tried to guess out loud, and when the other man heard it, he suddenly shouted out.

"You fucker, you did what? Did you also dare to touch my wife while wooing my boss's wife at the same time? I'm going to kill you!" The man got enraged and suddenly drew a knife out while running towards Silas.

"Oh my bad, things got spicier it seems, so watch out, Timothy," Silas said before jumping on the other side of the bar table.

Timothy, whose head was still spinning, suddenly cursed out when he saw the man with a knife closing in, “Silas, you’re a real mess.”

“Hey, try looking at yourself in the mirror.” Silas teased

Timothy managed to block the income attack, but resulting in him getting a nasty scratch that immediately caused his hand to start bleeding.

"Why are you defending that skirt chaser? Let me kill that slippery bastard!" The man shouted out while the ape was slowly approaching at Silas.

Everyone halted as someone entered the bar pointing guns at them; the imposing man had a curly mustache, he exclaimed, “Order now! Everyone stand down! The city guard is now present! Everyone who dares to move before the investigation is over will be either fined or will be sent straight to jail!"

The ape and his accomplice gritted their teeth as they gave Timothy and Silas a nasty look; they were pinned down to the ground with their hands behind their backs; the ape threatened, “You’re dead.”

“Oh, officer, a death threat,” Silas says sarcastically, obviously teasing

"Timothy and Silas! I should have known that the two of you are behind the commotion again. There are only seven days at the week, but I think you have managed to make this captain busy eight days a week. You really are impossible! I'm really looking forward to hearing your explanation this time." The captain of the guards said while looking at Silas.

"Fenton, my friend, I didn't do anything else than kept company to these two beautiful ladies who can confirm my part of the story.” Silas began as he winked at the two ladies as they immediately swoon over his charms

Captain Fenton sighed and said sarcastically, “I’m sure they will.”

“I offered them some drinks before this ape suddenly started to be rude and threatened me. Luckily my friend Timothy stepped inside. He saw how the brute cornered me and asked him to step down. Of course, he did not listen to good Timothy but suddenly attacked him instead. Then the ape friend turned violent as well and drew a knife out. As you can see, he almost managed to kill him." Silas immediately started to explain, and he was glib with his tongue.

Fenton, who saw Timothy's current state and couldn't say anything, he sighed once again and then ordered his men to get reports from the witnesses to confirm the story.

"I don't know how you manage always to do this, Silas, but you are again free to leave with Timothy. You will just survive with a small fine of fifty silver coins," Fenton said while looking at Silas, who was always giving him headaches.

Before they left, Timothy placed a delivery order to Marie, and when they were outside, Silas looked around them, making sure the officer was gone.

"Timothy, you saved me again, but go to see the doctor now you are in bad condition. Don't worry, of course; I will pay it for you." Silas said while giving a pat at Timothy's back, “Do me a favor and fix your face, okay?”

"When you go to the office, look at the recommendation paper I left for you. I saw a person who might be the one we are looking for," Timothy said before trying to drag his sorry ass body back to the clinic where he just came from.

"Okay, Timothy, I will read it through and tell you later about the decision," Silas shouted before also leaving.

“What? Where are you going now?” Timothy protested

“Just… somewhere.” Silas smirked, as Timothy replied back, “Ah, you’re off to make some more trouble, consider me out.”
