The Serpent Queen

Now You're Gonna Pay | Part Two

Robby was watching the live interview in the common room. He turned and watched the screen.

Shawn came up to him while watching the same interview, "That's your girl? Sounds like vanilla not her flavour no more. She got a taste for that horchata. Who knows? Maybe she'll be drinking dark roast next."

Robby didn't like what he was implying. He stood up and glared at Shawn, "How 'bout you shut your mouth?"

Shawn stepped forward to Robby to intimidate him, "Sorry-ass punk. Looks like karate boy wanna throw down."

One of his friends spoke behind him, "Sure does."

The other laughed, "Yeah, man."

"Go ahead." Shawn tapped his own cheek twice. "I'll give you a free shot before I use your teeth for dice."

"My karate's about self-defense." Robby stated.

"Oh. Well... Let's see how that works out for you." He grabbed the collar of Robby's hoodie and punched him.

However, Robby was able to block every attack, even when Shawn's friends joined in. He kicked and punched them back. Shawn managed to drag him over a table and into a headlock, punch him in the side and shove him into the wall, which to then he landed on the floor.

Shawn and his two friends began to kick Robby while he was laying on the ground covering his head.

The alarm began blaring as Shawn hauled Robby up from the floor, "This was a warm-up. We ain't done with you yet."

The intercom system came to life when a guard spoke into it, "Get back to your bunks. We're on lockdown."

Shawn kicked sharply Robby in the stomach as he walked away from him. He chuckled to himself at what he did to Robby, "Let's get outta here, man. Dumbass. That'll teach him."

Robby leaned against a table breathing in pain and clutching his stomach.

All the boys had returned to their bunks that they shared in a shared room. Robby had just came back from the showers, dressed in his centre uniform, with a white towel sling over his shoulder.

Shawn saw him walk in alone, "No shit! This your bed? I had no idea, I just needed a pillow." He took the single white pillow from Robby's bed and tossed it onto his own. "Don't mind, do you?" He chuckled when Robby didn't say anything but looked at the ground. "Thought so. Soft-ass bitch."

Robby slowly went over to his bed and put his towel down on it.

An officer came in with a clipboard and announced to all the boys, "All right, listen up. Visitation tomorrow. Valasquez, Binder, Espinoza, Keene. If I called your name, be ready first thing.

Robby stepped over to him, "Does it say who's visiting me?"

"Lawrence, John." The officer replied.

Johnny arrived at a large white house in Encino, where he once had lived in the eighties. He had lived there with his mother from when she married his stepfather, Sid, until the time when she died. He wasn't a nice man. He was a bully and had treated him like shit before and after his mother's passing. That's why he spent more time in the Alexopoulos house nearby back then with Stavros, Lillian, George, and Peter.

He rang the doorbell and the door was open by a man in a black suit. Johnny followed him as they walked into his old home. He sighed as he saw the rich old man sitting at a wooden mahogany table reading a magazine in his office.
