Forgive me, Moses

“I want Dave fired, and his properties confiscated.”

Moses' demand made Madame Aurora and Dave to stiffen in shock.

“What nerve do you have to make such demands?” Madame Aurora barked at Moses. “I wasn't even talking to you.”

“You rat, so this is what you want, huh? You're trying to get me fired.” Dave said.

Moses frowned. “I warned you before, didn't I? Hit me and you'll regret it.”

“You think you can get me fired?” Dave laughed. “Don't make me laugh. Even if you request it, grandmother would never get rid of me.”

“Forget that. How dare you speak for John Smith?” Madame Aurora added, glaring at Moses. “You've been nothing but a nuisance, Moses. After tonight, pack your things and get out of my hotel.”

“If Moses leaves, then so would I,” John Smith said. “In that order, I demand that Dave be fired, and his properties confiscated.”

Madame Aurora's eyes widened and her jaws dropped. “You don't mean that, John Smith.”

“Do I look like I'm playing?” John Smith asked, his eyes hard.
