I do nothing. I watch him, dead in the eyes, same blank face, as he runs up to me, slowing down more the closer he gets. I hold out my hand, palm up, and say nothing.
   The worker stands there, looking worried and nervous, as the whole room stares at him. I can see the sweat trickle down his brow, and then he hands over the stiletto he has. 
   I point at the table, he puts his hand down on the table, fingers apart, and waits. I slam the knife down on his ring finger, severing it at the last joint on it. He screams, then I cut off the last 3 inches of my tie and wrap his finger in it. I point back to his chair and say "sit back down." I can feel the whole room staring at me, a mix of respect and fear.
   "Are we in understanding?" I ask again, my face still blank.
   A hear a yes here and there, a few nods.
   I yell "I asked you all a question. Are we in understanding." In a deep voice, projected around the whole room.
   "Yes, sir!" I hear yelled back at me from the room. 
   "Good! Now let's get down to business." I say, a grin spreading across my face.
