AnnaI stared at Mr Connor, a disbelieving look on my face. Why is he hell bent on making my life miserable?This was really not what I needed now. This pregnancy has increased my appetite by two, so how am I going to survive on twenty dollars everyday after doing all that work."But Mr Connor, don't you think that that's too much. Nothing in the restaurant was really destroyed, so why cut such a huge amount from my wage?" I asked confused."That's the restaurant's policy. You break something or cause a ruckus, you have to pay for damages from your wage." He said still looking down at the papers in front of him."But this is too much!" I said, the pitch of my voice getting higher."If you have a problem with it, see the manager…" He then raised his head up and placed his fingers under his chin. "....oh wait, I'm the manager." He said and laughed maniacally.The hatred I felt in my heart for Mr Connor knew no bounds. Every single thing about him annoyed me. From his bald head to his s
AnnaI watched Danny's face, scared of what could happen next. His eyes turned to look at Mr Connor and frowned."What do you mean by you cut from her wages, because I don't really understand you?" Danny's voice was low. I could already hear the impending danger."I said that I cut from her wages so that she could pay for the damages caused by the people she invited in." He said, looking at Danny with a disgusted look in his eyes."What?" Danny scoffed. "Damaged that the people she brought in caused? Are you actually listening to yourself right now?" By this time, all the other employees that were about to go home had stopped to watch what was going on."Those people came in here and tried to attack one of your employees and you just stood there, doing nothing. You watched as they insulted and degraded her, and still you did nothing. Even if you didn't care about her, you could have even thought that these people could cause damage to the restaurant and then had them leave, but you s
AnnaI finally stopped running and rested my hands on my knees as I breathed hard. My lungs were killing me as they almost started rejecting the air I was breathing in and I started coughing. Danny finally caught up to me and stood by my side, equally breathing hard. I looked to see him looking at me like I was a crazy person."What…." He stopped, trying to catch his breath. "Why…would you….run so fast…" He stood straight and placed his hands on his hips, waiting till he could breathe properly.I moved away from him and sat on a bench that was in the corner. I laughed as I watched him watch me. "What exactly do you think you're doing?" He asked as he stood over me with his hands on his hips."What do you mean?" I asked him, still laughing."Why did you break into a run all of a sudden? I don't even know where we are!" "I did it because I felt like. The feeling was exhilarating." "Why would you do that? Do you remember that you're pregnant?" He said and the smile on my face disappe
AnnaIt had been a week since Danny and I lost our jobs. We had just been roaming the streets and doing nothing all week. We were currently in my motel room and Danny was lying on my bed while I was sitting beside him playing on my new phone.Danny had dragged me to the gadget store a few days ago to get a new phone. I really didn't want to because I needed to save money especially now that I didn't have a job, but he refused. "Danny, I really can't buy a phone right now." I complained."Why? You've been without a phone since you came into this city and nobody stays in this city without a phone. What happens if you run into trouble? How will you call me then?" He said and I sighed."I've managed to live my whole life without a phone, so I think I can go on that way for a while longer." I said nonchalantly and Danny gasped."Did you just say what I think you did?" He asked and I frowned. "What? What did I say?" I asked confused."You just said you've lived your whole life without a p
DannyI dragged Anna with me as we walked towards an apartment building. She was really reluctant to follow me after I told her about my plan. We had to get back at Mr Connor no matter what. I had found out the address of the owner of the restaurant and decided that we were going to tell him everything that Mr Connor had done. Anna was against my decision, but I wasn't going to let her dissuade me this time.We waited outside the apartment because we couldn't go in of we weren't invited. I had been able to study his schedule for a few days, so I knew when he was going to go out. "Danny, I don't know if this is a good idea." Anna said and I turned to her and pursed my lips."We can't just let Mr Connor go free like that. He did a lot of bad things to everyone and most especially to you, and we can't just let it go like that." I explained."I know what he did, Danny, but I don't just feel good doing this." She said, her face squeezing."You don't have to feel good about it, Anna, but
AnnaDanny and I were seated in Mr Samuels' car as he drove us to the restaurant. I silently watched him and Danny discuss more about the matter. My heart rate had increased by a lot since we left the coffee shop. Danny had assured me so many times that it would be fine, but I really just couldn't calm down. Mr Samuels looked like a scary man, so what if we went there and nobody supported us in fear of what Mr Connor would do to them. I really didn't know how Danny had so much confidence in his plan, because no matter how many times I asked him, he spoke like he could already see the future. I looked out the window and I could tell that we were close to the restaurant already. My already speeding heart sped up even more and I rubbed my sweaty palms on my jeans. I looked at Mr Samuels through the front mirror and I could see a deep frown on his face. If it worked out well for Danny and I, we could get the revenge that we wanted, but if not, then we could end up in prison with the h
AnnaThe shock that overtook me after seeing that no one stepped out to support us was unlike anything I had ever felt. Even Danny who had been very confident as we came was starting to falter. Mr Samuels' face was starting to change as it felt like we had been the ones lying this whole time. I couldn't actually believe that no one stepped out. I looked at Danny and he looked right back at me. I was starting to shake from fear that we were the ones that would go down for this.What is going on?How could they all do this to me, after they saw what Mr Connor said and did you to me? "Guys, are you serious right now?" Danny stepped forward, his voice sounding annoyed. "After everything this freak has done, you still choose to stand by his side because you want to keep your job. I really never knew you guys to be like this." He had an incredulous look on his face."We've been through so much together and we were all hoping that one day he would get to pay for all of his evil deeds, but
AnnaThe next day after we were released by the police, Mr Samuels called Danny and I to see him at his office. I was really nervous, because I didn't know what he wanted to say to us. He could be angry about what we had done, or he could be calling us to thank us. I just wanted to get everything over and done with and not have anything to do with the restaurant ever again.Danny and I were currently standing in front of his office building. I looked at him and let out a shaky breath and he smiled at me before nudging me forward."Let's get it over and done with. You seem to want to do that so bad." He said and I smiled as we walked in together. We got to the front desk and asked for Mr Samuels' office, and they directed us on where to go. We went up the elevator and when we got to the floor, the elevator door opened to an office space. We saw a woman sitting behind a desk and walked towards her to ask her."Hi, good morning. We're looking for Mr Samuels' office." Danny said."This
