All of a sudden, a man covered in blood staggered toward them, shouting for help. When he caught sight of Thomas, he screamed, "Mr. Lane, something terrible has happened! They've returned! Those men have returned!"
A look of fear and horror spread across Thomas's face, but he soon calmed down and was immediately outraged. "How dare they show their faces here again? What do they want from us? Let's go, everyone! We'll show them what it's like to mess with us! If they want us dead, we'll bring them to hell with us!"
With that, a dozen or so factory workers picked up various tools like wrenches and metal pipes, anything they could get their hands on, and stormed toward the direction Thomas was pointing at. They were all infuriated at how they had been treated. All of them were simply trying their best to survive in this economy, and who were these men to terrorize them when they had done nothing wrong?
All of a sudden, a few black vans screeched to a halt in front of the factory entrance. About two or three dozen burly men with baseball bats leaped out of the cars, scowling. When they caught sight of the factory, they shouted in fury, "How dare you even try to put everything together? Who allowed you to do this?"
"You all must have a death wish! How dare you do things without our permission? You better run as fast as your twiggy legs can bring you, or we'll show you what we've got!"
One of the men, who was bald and burly with a cigar between his lips, stepped through the crowd and took off his sunglasses. He grinned menacingly at Thomas. "Mr. Lane, right? Don't you remember what I told you yesterday? How dare you even try to put everything together when I warned you not to? Are you trying to defend yourselves? What a hoot!"
Before Thomas could even reply, Celena stepped forward and smiled at the bald man. "Hello, nice to meet you. I'm the supervisor of this factory, Celena Stone. Tell me how much money you want, and I'll give it to you!"
