Juan disapproved. "You're my fiancée. You don't have to bow to anyone. If Mr. Houston has a problem, we'll settle it on the business field tomorrow."
They turned to leave, but their path was suddenly blocked by a group of men. They were Marion's trusted fighters, trained by the older generations of the Houston family.
Marion pulled a lollipop from his pocket and popped it into his mouth. He had promised Debra to quit smoking, but the lack of something in his mouth was disturbing. The lollipop helped relieve his agitation.
Juan warned, "We're outside the police station. Are you not afraid of the consequences?"
"Of course, I am. I'm a law-abiding citizen," Marion laughed, tuning to Ben. "Go shut the station doors. We wouldn't want to bother the officers inside."
"Yes, Mr. Houston," Ben replied, quickly moving to comply.
Debra stifled a laugh. Marion was such a scoundrel, always ready to push boundaries with his theatrical flair.
Marion smiled, a challenging glint in his eyes as he turned his attention back to Juan. "Now, let's see if your woman knows how to behave."
Shelia clung tighter to Juan's arm. She refused to bow to Debra, her pride burning like wildfire within her.
Just as the standoff threatened to escalate, an elderly voice came from the distance.
"Isn't that Shelia? What's going on?"
