Home Alone: Harry's Revenge

chapter 2

Meanwhile in New York, a familiar hotel concierge was getting his just desserts. "I'm FIRED!?"

The actual manager of the hotel nodded. "Yes, you and your receptionist have had too many complaints made against you." he crossed his arms.

The receptionist looked affronted.

Also in the City of New York a man with a hat with ear flaps walked through the streets, a scarf around his mouth to hide most of his face. He jumped at every little pigeon that flew as people made them fly away.

"You can't be serious, I run a tight shift with people around here, and I love children!" Hector tried to consider, he then randomly grabbed a little girl, trying to hug her, but made her cry. "Oh, see? I just love children!" he smiled, nervously.

"MOMMY! DADDY!" the little girl cried in his grasp.

"And I do a perfect job!" the woman announced, looking annoyed.

The hotel manager glared at the two. "I've checked the CCTV, I saw what happened and your reactions."

The mother of the girl came over and took her daughter. "How dare you pick up like that and make her cry!" she handed the girl to her husband before smacking Hector around the face.

Hector winced at the impacts. "I-I-I'm sorry!"

"YOU'RE GONNA BE SORRY!" the husband punched him in the stomach and stormed off with his wife.

Hector held his stomach. "CCTV?"

"Yes, you know, the security cameras?" The manager nodded and said as if talking to a simpleton.

The receptionist looked floundered for a moment. "W-Why aren't you firing Cedric?!" she asked loudly.

The manager looked slightly pleased she asked. "Because Cedric actually works well with everyone and he actually does his job properly!"

Cedric was going past with some bags. He didn't pay attention, as he was busy.

Hector grunted and rolled his eyes. "Kiss up..." he mumbled about the nicest employee in the entire hotel while he and Mrs. Stone were snobs, especially toward children.

The hotel manager looked at the two. "Just for that, Hector, you're going to have to wait for your last pay checks in the post." he told them. He then got security to escort them out.

Mrs. Stone glared at Hector as they were escorted out, but it was half-hearted to the embarrassment they were gaining from being escorted out.

"You're insane, you know that?" Hector was completely flabbergasted and felt insulted as he was being pushed out. "The nerve of some people!"

The hotel manager watched them go. The guards pushed the pair out into the street. Harry came close to the hotel, not realizing that people were going to be pushed out any second as he went to the area in front of the door. Mrs. Stone was pushed first, yelling shocked as she fell. Harry groaned as she fell on him, the surprise from the sudden unexpected woman landing on him.

Mrs. Stone got up, flustered at landing on a man.

Hector grumbled, then stood up, glaring at Harry. "Watch where you're going, ya bum!"

Harry got up, his scarf falling down. "You're the ones who bumped inta me!" he yelled, angry. "You should watch where ya both were goin'!"

Hector scoffed and rolled his eyes. "I tried to be nice to those wretched children when they came into the hotel, but seeing them alone sent me suspicious, bunch of credit card thieves... I bet that Maxine was in on it too." he folded his arms, thinking back on a while back before Christmas.
