“Get out of here, I bet they’re going to bring more goons.” The shop owner tried to stand a few times, but she was too weak and dizzy. Arabella pulled out a wad of cash from her bag. “This should cover tonight’s damage.

Arabella looked at her soiled bunny purse, feeling even more irked, “I want to know who’s pulling the strings.”
“Got it!” Jack immediately set out to make arrangements.
