I watched Harry's agony just for a few moments as his lean body flailed with every abrupt swerve and sharp turn of the Ferrari he was clinging onto while the men driving laughed at his expense."Do something!" His shriek faded off as they zipped past me to go around the parking lot again.
I slowly raised my Nokia phone to take blurry pictures.
"Not that! And what the fuck even is that dinosaur-!" Harry's shout cracked into another frail, high pitched scream before I lowered my phone, tucking it back into my pocket before stepping out into the street.
The car was coming at me full speed, the two tan men driving the Ferrari laughing together before spotting me and cursing in Spanish with wide eyes before the driver hit the brakes, the sound of tires screeching harshly against the uneven concrete.
Smoke surrounded me, dispersing slowly as Harry's weak body slowly slid off the hood of the car with an exhausted sigh as he fell to the ground before I leaned forward and placed my palm over the vehicle, looking at the two frightened men inside.
"Salgan por favor." (Get out please.) I requested, knowing they could hear me from their rolled down windows before they swallowed, following my orders.
Once out the two brothers explained everything, how they were both dressed in black cause they had just left a friend's funeral and some arrogant "rich white boy" greeted them with a smile where they were standing, handing them the keys.
After telling the pair that Harry was with me they immediately backed off, ironically apologizing to me and only me while sending a passed out Harry one last glare before they both sauntered off.
A few moments passed before I heard Harry groan at my feet, his forearm covering his eyes.
"They gone?" He murmured in a low voice.
"Yeah, they won't touch you if they know you're with me, I'm their landlady." I explained, watching the two guys Omar and Edgar glare at the spot Harry lay on across the parking lot.
"Ha! That's right! You two better run! I'm with her!" Harry shot up from the ground with newfound strength, as if nothing never happened as he bounced around, making sure to hold me near him and point at me as if I were some sort of invincible shield.
"Hey Harry, where did you leave the bat?" I asked, hearing him let out a timid "um" by my side before we watched Omar grab a bat off the ground near him, the two brother exchanging grins before approaching us.
"Fuck, get in, get in." Harry was the one to take the lead as he grabbed my wrist, opening the passenger door to his car and putting me in first before sliding across the hood to go to his side as he got in the driver's side, trying to start the car.
Key word trying.
"Fuck, fuck, fuck fuckfuckfuckfuckfuckffffffffffuuuuckkkkkk!" Harry spazzed, hitting the steering wheel in desperation and turning the key repeatedly for the engine to release a small putt putt sound as I leaned my elbow on the car door, calmly watching him.
