the wheels of life

chapter 16

Last time

Russel:you fucking bitch my teeth!!

Blake:oh trust me, that's gonna be the least of your worries!!

Now

*We see Blake, Russel, and ruby in the owner's office. He was looking over the video footage, and then looked at Russel, who was nervously looking anywhere but him. Since Johnny? He was a kind soul, a loving soul, it takes a lot to make him anger. But he was also a freaking silverback gorilla faunus, so safe to say Russel was scared, since that man was stronger than over 20 fully grown men*

Johnny:I have to say, this is a bloody outrage. I made this gym to be a safe space, and then there's a wanker like you, making a mockery of my establishment

*Johnny said with anger behind every word, shooting an angry glare at Russel, who was damn near pissing himself, he started to visibly shake*

Johnny:so, here's what gonna happen. I'm gonna cancel your contract, and ban you from my establishment, if you ever come inside here, if you ever even walk on the sidewalk of my gym, I'll beat you to a bloody pulp, am I clear?

Russel:y...yes! Yes! Transparently!

*Russel said, getting up and almost leaving the office, when he stopped at the sound of someone smashing his fist on the table*

Johnny:oi! Apologize to the lady you Twat!

Russel:r...right! Right! I'm so terribly sorry!! I promise you'll never see me again!!

*Russel said terrified on his hands and knees. For ruby, she just wanted this whole situation to end, she sighed and waved her hand dismissively*

Ruby:I forgive you, just leave.

Russel:yes yes yes yes.

*Russel said, tripping on himself, as he ran out of. Both woman looked at Johnny, who returned to his gentle personality*

Johnny:now miss rose, you've been such a loyal member to this gym, so as a personal apology, I'm gonna give you the next 6 month half off

Ruby: that's more than reasonable. Thank you

*Ruby said ignoring the face Blake was making, safe to say Blake didn't like how this situation ended at all, the man only got a slap on the wrist, ruby didn't want to press charges, and all she got was a discount*

Johnny:uh, miss belladonna? Your friend is leaving you behind

Blake:huh? Oh! Uh! Thanks. Hey ruby w..wait a second

*Blake said walking in a fast pace to be next to her. When she did, she wasn't shy to voice her opinion*

Blake:I still don't understand, why you didn't want to press any charges

Ruby:because it wouldn't be worth my time. Pressing charges means spending months in the court system, where he would've no doubt hired some sleazy better call Saul type of lawyer, where he would make it seem like I really was asking for it. I simply don't have the mental strength to deal with that.

*Ruby explained with a sigh, going to the locker rooms, she trained enough for today, and anyways her mood to train was just ruined by the guy*

Blake:but, you have a video on your side, I'm sure that Johnny fellow, would've agreed on giving it to you

Ruby:Blake just let it go. I'm not gonna spend months on a trial, where the only thing I'll get out of it, is a monetary reward. Since what he did? Wasn't illegal. It was shitty, it was masochist, but not illegal. What would've been illegal, is the excessive use of force, you did to him. So if I go to court, you would've been liable for assault, and you'll go to jail for it. My feelings for you aside, I don't wish for you to go to jail
