Bite The Hand That Feeds You

A helping hand

Out from the shadows emerges a disheveled man and woman. They both were haggard and had the expression of contempt on their face. The woman spoke up "You're Conan, aren't you?" Conan was still emotional from his big talk with Oobi so he was still a little emotional from it  "Y. yeah (sniff) I am. Who are you?" She was more agitated now " I don't expect you to know me but tell me you at least remember Henry?" Conan looked around confused and had no idea what to do or say he looked at the guy " Hey Henry? How are ya?" They both got angry " Don't tell me you forgot the man you stabbed last week already?!?! Even though he's been your writer for the better half of this decade?!?!" Conan took a little longer than he should in remembering the stabbing that really kick-started this whole thing off. It then hit Conan "Oh! HIm? I had no idea who he was..." They talked over him " You killed your own employee and don't even remember his name?!?!" Conan responds " Why would you guys care?" Those words passed his lips and he was immediately slapped by the lady. "I was his wife!!! And he's his co-worker. Someone else you fucked over with that stupid Oobi episode!! Oh and speaking of which, there he is. Did you have fun eating ham sandwiches and drinking fine wines after seeing my husband die?" Oobi didn't know how to answer since there was far too much to unpack here and he didn't see them really listening to him "uh? I..." the man steps forward and swipes Oobi hard into a tree "Shut up!!! And you Conan were not here for an apology!" At this point, Conan still has a knee on the ground and is half stood up looking over where Oobi hit the tree "Oobi!!!!!!!!!" The man punched Conan in the face and he staggered back and he reached into his coat and pulled out a taser. The man quickly slapped it out of his hand and hit Conan again "You ruined our lives and can't even be bothered to remember our names. I'm not here for justice you just die here, Conan!!!" The third punch knocks Conan off the cliff but he manages to grab the ledge with one hand. The man raised his foot to crush Conan's hand. Before he could move any further Oobi came up from behind and tasered the man. This was enough for him to lose his balance and fall off the ledge. He landed on his neck and was dead in an instant. Conan looked down and back up. Oobi's hand was outstretched toward Conan and he took it.  Oobi looks over to see the woman running away to go check on the man. As Oobi and Conan start heading downhill an engine springs to life. It was the woman in a van and she started to head toward Oobi and Conan. Conan looks at Oobi "It's my turn to save you." Conan starts running downhill and when he felt he picked up enough speed. He leaned back and revealed he had heelies on. Conan was surprisingly proficient with them and managed to keep his balance effortlessly. While the heelies bought them more time she was quickly gaining on them no matter how much Conan tried to dodge her. Conan grasps Oobi with both hands and whispers "Do you trust me?" Oobi answers "um kinda." Conan nods and goes "Okay you'll know what to do." Conan started to head toward a large puddle. Conan began to hydroplane on it, he was going that fast. While it was impressive they both were heading toward oncoming traffic. That's when Conan swung his arm out with Oobi at the end "Do it NOW OOBI!!!" Oobi grabbed the street lamp near them and they swung to safety. However, the woman was so focused on Conan she never noticed the traffic and was struck with a truck in a T-bone collision, there were no survivors. Oobi and Conan sat on the curb catching their breath. Oobi through his heavy breath "Next time..... My place." They high-fived. Conan managed to escape persecution again and was able to move on with his life. He might not have the fame he used to have but he now has Fridays at Oobi's and couldn't be happier.
