Trouble Comes In Dozens

Chpt. 6

Brick opened the bar door, immediately welcomed to the smell of cigarettes and beer.

However, it wasn't a dirty place. Noone was out of hand and they seemed to be doing their own thing. Music blasted and a lone bartender seemed to be holding down the tables. Though there was alot of rocker type people here. Some seemed like they came straight out of a mob, others looked like they came out of a kids rock movie. So he summed it up as cozy but intimidating.

Fits Buttercup and Butch.

Butch didn't hesitate to walk towards the counter.

"Bunny!" He called out.

The brown haired, hazel eyed, bartender turned to look at them.

"Butch?" She said in confusion. The frown slowly morphed into a smile.

"Long time no see dude! Wassup? Buttercup and you arguing?"

She asked handing a man his drink, though he looked as if he'd had too much already.

"Wh-what? No! Why is that the first thing you think of?" Butch asked startled.

Brick let out a snicker before getting elbowed in the side.

Bunny laughed. "Well Butch, I hate to be the one to say it, but you're an asshole. And we'll, Buttercup is and has always been a bitch. I get to say that, I'm her bestie. So yeah, I kinda assumed you guys were arguing. Plus, you only come here when your clingy ass doesn't get enough affection from her."

Butch frowned and Brick burst into laughter.

"Hey! I'm not an asshole! And I'm not clingy! She can be mean sometimes! Shes abusive!" He defended crossing his arms.

"And you like it. Y'all are kinky like that." Bunny counterclaimed.

Butch huffed cheeks turning a crimson color. "Thats..that's besides the point. I need to talk to you. It's serious."

Bunny arched her eyebrow. "I'm interested. Wait in the back while I get someone to cover for me."

Butch nodded. He went in the red room sitting down. Brick stared. Butch looked to him.

"What?"

Brick crossed his arms. "How did you know where the red room was?"

Butch laughed. "Really? I met Buttercup back here. Of course I would know where it is."

Brick stared. "So you guys met in a red room? Tell me you guys didn't have sex in here.."

Butch choked alittle. Bricks eyes grew wide. He put his hand out in a stop motion.

"Ewewew! Okay, point out the places you didn't do it at so I can sit." Brick said calming himself down.

He pointed to the chair.

"Did it."

He pointed to the mat on the side.

"Did it."

He pointed to the table.

"Did it."

He pointed to the window.

"Look we-"

"Ah come on Butch! It's a window! How- people can see that! Fucking Christ take a break!" He said exhausted.

Butch chuckled. "Are you going to sit?"

Brick gave him a face. "No. I don't want to think about that."

Butch shrugged. Just then, bunny walked in.

"So! What's up?"

Butch glanced at Brick.
"We...have to tell you something."

Bunny lost her smile. "Is it about buttercup?"

Brick nodded. "All three actually."

Bunny gasped. Her eyes grew glassy.

"Please don't tell me they died or anything like that. You guys know I have serious anxiety."

Butch shook his head. "They're not dead."

Bunny blew out a breath. "Thank God."

"But they are in danger." Brick added.

--------------$_$----

"So you mean to tell me all this happened, and nobody told me shit?!?" Bunny yelled throwing her arms in the air.

Butch looked to the ground. "We didn't want you to be heartbroken."

Bunny ran a hand through her hair.
"Well fuck. Waiting makes it worse!"

She calmed herself down. "I'm sorry. I'm just worried that's all."

Brick nodded.

"So what did you come here for?"

"When you serve here, have you ever seen a snake? Like a tattoo on the wrist?" Butch asked.

Bunny sat down. She shook her head.

"No....I didn't pay attention."

Brick let out a sigh. Suddenly her eyes went wide.

"Except for....shit Butch. Did Buttercup ever tell you about her ex?" Bunny asked with a small glare.

Butch looked concerned. "Um...I've heard of him. Why?"

Bunny frowned. "That sick fuck. His name is Ace. He's with a crew named the Gang Green Gang. He did some fucked up shit to her. He lives in the house near the junk yard. They all have that symbol. But watch out, he is very, very smart. And he is very, very tough. And so is his gang. That's all I know."

Butch looked to Brick. "We need to get Boomer. Bunny what are you doing after your shift?"

Bunny checked the time. "I get off in ten. Ill be happy to help."

Brick nodded.

"Well, um...how good are you with kids?"
