The thugs stopped and turned around. “Well, look what we have here. A pretty boy.” As if seeing her savior, Sabrina quickly broke free and approached Timothy, then hid behind him like a scared little cat.
Upset with their failed attempt at taking her away, the thugs shot Timothy withering glares. ‘Is she your girlfriend, punk? You’d better think carefully before you answer.”
“If you don’t know her, you’d better leave, or else. Don’t poke your nose where it doesn’t belong.”
They’re threatening me? Timothy’s face darkened, and he shot the thugs a similarly withering glare. Without thinking, he defended. Sabrina. ‘She’s my girlfriend. Now leave, or I’m calling the police.”
Timothy was relieved by his interaction with Nicholas as he gained insight into Nicholas’ stern demeanor. Effortlessly, he scared the thugs into submission, and they froze. Soon, he noticed their faltering footsteps and roared, “Scram!”
Shudders ran down the thugs’ spines. They chose to flee rather than engage Timothy in combat, especially given his intimidating appearance.
“Let’s go. Dammit, this is not our day.” Scared, the thugs ran. Timothy heaved a sigh of relief. He was worried the thugs might refuse to go. Good thing he managed to scare them.
