The Adventures of Azalea and Twig (book 6)

Chapter 40

"How... how did he find us!?" Poppy asked, panicking.
"I don't know," Branch replied. "But I'm not sticking around to find out. Run!"

He and Poppy jumped off the stool, running to Molly, who quickly scooped them up in her hands.

"You guys run," Barb said, cracking her knuckles, as she smile maliciously. "I'll take care of bald boy."

She jumped off the stool, heading towards Lawson.

"Come on guys," Molly said to Poppy and Branch, running for the door.

Barb jumped up onto a table, doing karate moves to try and intimidate Lawson.

He looked at her, and smiled smugly, getting in a fighting pose.

"Bring it on..." he said.

She smirked, reaching into her hair, and pulling out her guitar.

"Wait... what are you gonna do with..."

Before he could finish his question, Barb began playing her guitar, a sound wave coming out of it, and knocking Lawson back onto someone's table.

He fell onto the table, dumping the person's peanuts on the floor, and his drink onto him.

"Hey!" the person who was at the table yelled, angrily, standing up, his drink all over him, as he grabbed Lawson by the front of his shirt.

"Um... uh... sorry?" Lawson said, chuckling nervously.

The man pulled his fist back, punching Lawson hard in the face.

He flopped backwards, knocking into another person.

"Hey! Watch where you're throwing people!" the man yelled, punching the man who had punched Lawson.

Soon, a giant fight broke out all through the building.

Molly ran over, to the door, spotting the owner.

"Sorry about the fight," Molly apologized. He shrugged, looking at her.
"It's alright. Probably would've started one way or another, anyway."

"One way! Or another! I'm gonna pound ya!" Barb sang, punching Lawson in the nose, as he charged at Molly, Poppy, and Branch.

He flopped back down to the ground, Barb jumping up onto Molly's shoulder.

"Let's blow this joint," Barb said, cracking her neck.

"Before you go, here," the owner said, handing them some money. "For that performance y'all gave."

"Thank you so much," Poppy thanked, as Molly took the money.

Slowly, Lawson began to sit up, looking up at Molly and the trolls.

"Don't move!" he yelled.

"And that's our que to leave," Branch said. "Get us out of here, Molly!"

Molly turned, running out the door.

"There!" Poppy yelled, pointing at the taxi.

They hopped inside, slamming the door.

"Drive!" Molly yelled at the driver, panicking.

"I'm waiting on a guy who owns me sixty bucks," the driver responded.

     Lawson was suddenly thrown out the door, breaking it down, and getting splinters all over him.

     He stood, noticing the trolls in the taxi.

     "Here! Sixty bucks!" Molly said, handing the driver sixty bucks. "Now drive!"
"Please," Poppy added, trying to be polite.

     The driver shrugged, and then started the car, driving off.

     "Get back here elves!" Lawson yelled, chasing after them, but the car was too fast, and he quickly lost them. "Darn it!" he yelled, stomping hard on the ground.
