Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 27

Chapter 27 Andrew spoke casually , Im not in a great mood today , so Id advise you not to push your luck .

Bobbys eyes gleamed dangerously .

What did you just say ? Repeat that .

Andrew chuckled .

I said , get lost .

Im not in the mood , and Id hate to hurt you if things get out of hand .

Francesca thought Andrew had lost his mind .

Andrew , shut up ! Dont you know Bobby is Mr.

Garners best fighter from South City ? I cant protect you if you keep running your mouth .

She turned to Bobby , her voice tense .

Bobby , this guys a friend of mine and Laurens .

Can we talk this out later ? Maybe you could let him off the hook today ? Bobby laughed .

Im afraid thats not possible .

This punk messed with Mr.

Garners business yesterday .

The boss wants him taken care of personally .

He continued , Ms.

Aicker , please tell Ms.

Rhodes its nothing personal .

This guy not only screwed up Mr.

Garners plans , but hes also acting all high and mighty even with my knife on the table .

Thats disrespecting me and Mr.

Garner .

Francesca had to admit Andrew was being recklessly arrogant .

With a knife out , he was still acting untouchable .

He was clearly asking for trouble .

Andrew , apologize to Bobby before this gets out of hand , Francesca ordered , hoping to defuse the situation .

Andrews brow furrowed slightly .

Apologize ? Why should I ? I didnt do anything wrong yesterday .

Andrew calmly poured a drink and pushed it toward Bobby with a smile .

Here , have a drink to steady your nerves .

Id hate for you to wet yourself when things get rough .

Francesca felt a chill running down her spine .

She was dumbfounded that a freeloading loser like Andrew dared to provoke Bobby .

Meanwhile , the other patrons were stunned by Andrews remark .

Telling Bobby to have a drink to steady his nerves and that he might wet his pants was his guy was simply unbelievable .

They thought Andrew was out of his mind , running on blind confidence .

Bobby could no longer contain himself .

His right hand shot out like lightning , the knife gleaming as it slashed toward Andrews throat .

Kid , this time next year , Ill make sure to visit your grave when its your death anniversary .

Youre the most suicidal bastard Ive ever met , Bobby snarled .
