The person seemed to be making a call, and the phone in Rosie's hand started chiming at the very same time as well.
"You must be Stefan Hunt. You were the one who called Miss Everheart, right?" Rosie asked nervously. Her eyes widened as she looked up at the tall man, then at the ringing phone.
Stefan was wearing a long black coat and frowning down at her. He looked like royalty, extremely elegant and completely out of reach. He furrowed his brow and asked slowly, "So, you're Everheart's friend?"
"Uh yeah, kind of," Rosie replied unsurely. She knew that Renee hated her ex-husband, so she didn't really want to engage with this jerk either. However, the situation was rather urgent, so she looked past his menacing aura and blurted out, "You're just in time! Please save Miss Everheart - she's surrounded by a bunch of perverts!"
"They're trying to attack her?"
"Yeah! Right there! Just listen to the screams yourself… I can't even get through because there's so many people around!" Rosie was tearing up as she pointed towards the crowd surrounding the 'arena'. She felt so useless for not being able to chase those thugs away, and couldn't bear to imagine what Renee was going through.
Stefan turned to look at where she was pointing, and noticed that it was indeed quite noisy. The crowd would cheer with excitement every once in a while, and blood-curdling shrieks would follow right after.
To Rosie's confusion, the man just looked amused, and grabbed a stool and sat down nonchalantly. After that, he even called a waiter over and ordered a Long Island.
"Mr. Hunt, what are you doing?! How can you possibly be in the mood for a cocktail? Can't you hear Miss Everheart getting beaten up? You need to save her!" Rosie urged hurriedly.
The woman gritted her teeth as she smashed a beer bottle and walked over to the crowd with her sharp, newfound weapon. She was worried that Renee would get pummeled to death if they stalled any longer.
"Sure, good luck." Stefan smiled softly. He thought to himself, 'This woman really is Everheart's friend, huh? She's just as hot-tempered as her, and Leia Osborne too. Birds of a feather, I suppose, but it is quite amusing.'
"Jerk!" Rosie yelled at him and spat at the ground. However, just as she turned back towards the crowd, a large object suddenly flew towards her, landing heavily at her feet.
"Ah!" Rosie was so frightened that she stumbled back.
