Devil from the East

The Fisherman Bar

Well it's been a quiet couple of months since my run in with Nishida, and it's finally the start of the boys rugby team to join the local league. We were successful with the try outs and to celebrate the start of the season the team have decided to go on a night out, to which iv been invited to with Daisy.

Meeting everyone at the local bar ' Fisherman's' which Devon owns. He plays in the rugby team with my brothers, he went to school with Pete and so we have known him and his wife Sue for a very long time.
"Hey Dotty, want the usual?" Dev asks from behind the bar. I nod in reply as I take my seat with Daisy at the bar. Pete, Johnny and Dave joins us with the rest of the team.
"Who has kids tonight?" Dev yells at Pete with a sly grin, my brother and Daisy don't get out often so when Pete does Dev likes to keep him.
"Shut up and give us a pint" Pete growls frustrated that he made a few mistakes at today's match. Of course he mean non alcoholic beer due to being sober for 6 years now, we are all proud of him.

"You still won baby, lighten up" Daisy smiles at my brother with such love and affection, I hope one day I can look at some like that. They have been married for 13 years and have one son Aiden but they are expecting their second at the end of the year.
"Just apple for me please dev" Daisy orders, and our drink arrive in no time at all.

David and Johnny meet us for a quick round
"You guys did well" Johnny laughs as he teases his twin
"Sod off" David hisses at him. Johnny just seems to love winding up Dave when he has had a few, and after a few drinks they leave, Dave hates drinking socially since Pete rehabilitation and I know he will be waiting for me at the loft with Johnny pushing everyone of his buttons.

After a few round and half the team tipsy from their drinks they decide to head out to night a nightclub. Pete and Daisy decide to stay and I'm just about to leave when....
"Can I buy the pretty lady a drink" my heart sets in my throat as a stranger iv never seen before sits beside me. I look over to Dev and Sue and they have a worried look on their face.

"Thank you but I'm heading home" I smile and try to leave, but he puts his hand on my arm to stop me
"Come on just one drink" he presses and now even Pete is watching me.
"Erm...." I remove his hand when the doors open again and Peters face turns white.
"What the fuck is he doing here!!" He grumbles, I turn to see Nishada entering the bar, we make eye contact but he acts like he has never seen me before. He wraps an arm around a girl he has brought with him around her waist and I feel agitated by it.

It irks me a bit but the man besides me grabs my attention again
"Damm, duty calls but wait here I won't be a moment" he says as he walks over to Nishida and sits him in a nearby booth.
"Don't get close to him dotty, he's Leo, he's been here a few times and rumours say he into drugs, guns, trafficking ....." Sue whispers to me from behind the bar.

"You better go, I don't want you to get into any more trouble" Pete growls as he hands me my coat. For some strange reason, I feel the say way and I take my brothers advice, putting my coat on I head to the door. But I'm unable to leave when the Leo runs to the door blocking it
"Not leaving so soon are we" he smiles, I see his top teeth are golden, now I see him closer he has lots of random tattoos all over his neck and face, he is kind of scary looking.

"I have work in the morning so yeah I'm going home" I swallow hard and I try to contain how nervous he makes me.
"Just one more drink, please, on me" he grabs my hand and kisses the back of it, he makes my skin crawl and I jerk my hand away
"Maybe next time ok, I'm tired and ......" I try to push past him when another hand lays on my shoulder
"Is my associate giving you trouble" Nishida asks from behind me
"No, I'm fine" I shrug his hand off, I don't want any trouble as I barge past Leo this time and storm out onto the street.

I take in a deep breath once I'm outside and begin to walk home. Plugging in my headphones, lifting my coat hood and fastening up my coat to block the cold night air I March home. It's a walk I do every week but this time I feel awful conscious that I'm alone in the dark, and every noise or shadow had my heart thumping.
Turning up the music I keep my head down and in no time at all I see the signs for the garage ahead.

Feeling some relief I almost set off in a jog, till I feel a hand on my shoulder. In a panic, I grab the hand and thrust whoever it is over my shoulder. They are heavy but I put my who weight over and a body lands at my feet. Still holding the wrist I twist the arm and pin it behind my attackers back and I hear a loud voice yell in pain. A voice I don't recognise and it sends a shiver down my spine, but I won't let go and I twist harder till a hear a click of a gun behind me.

I feel the cold metal on my skull, undeterred I push my head back knocking the gun From my second attackers hand and in the confusion I grab the gun off the floor with my spare hand and turning my body point it at my second attacker while I keep the other guy pinned, then from underneath me the guy laughs in pain.
