Genesis
Genesis stood behind the bar and poured herself a glass of scotch with a few ice cubes. She looked at the man sitting across from her and gave a wry smile. He quickly looked down at the bar. After a sip from her drink, Genesis leaned forward and whispered, "Boo."
The man winced noticibly. Genesis gave a dry laugh. "Scared Geoff?" When the man didn't answer, Genesis knew her assumption was correct. "You should be." She downed the rest of her drink and without wincing, walked out from behind the bar and pulled a switchblade out of her pocket.
Geoff laughed nervously, "I've got your money, Gen. Don't worry about that." Genesis came to a line painted on teh florr and stood facing the dart board. "I know you have my money, Geoff. You wouldn't be alive if you didn't." She gave a pause before continuing. "I just want to know why it took so long. I told you to have my money two weeks ago. You had plenty of time to get it to me, but there I sat. Day after day... waiting."
She threw the knife and it hit the bullseye of the board. "I hate waiting." Geoff jumped up and started to make a run for it, but was caught by Genesis's right hand goon. A muscled guy named Tony grinned toothlessly at Geoff. "Count the money, Jimmy," Genesis snapped out to a man on her left. Jimmy stepped forward and took an envelope from Geoff.
Genesis walked up to Geoff, her nose almost touching his. "Tsk. Tsk. Running, Geoff?" She traced a scar on his cheek, "That's not your style." Geoff stammered out a response too quiet to be heard. "What?" Genesis asked him with a hint of a smile. Geoff's eyes flickered to the envelope. "Oh," Genesis commented, realization dawning on her. "You don't have all of my money, do you Geoff?"
Geoff opened his mouth, but before he could speak Genesis put her hand over his mouth and said dangerously, "No speaking." She held out her free hand and the money was placed in it. "How much, Jimmy?" Jimmy cleared his throat and told her, "Six." Genesis dropped the cash on the floor.
"You walk inot my bar oweing my six grand and expect to walk out?" Genesis shook her head sadly. Geoff's eyes widen "I can get it Genesis, I swear it. You'll have it tomorrow!" Genesis backhanded Geoff as she spit out at him, "You've said that before."
"Please Gen," he pleaded. Genesis opened her mouth to respond, but the dorr to the bar swung open and two men walked in. "Hey Genesis," the first man sang out. Her eyes went to the men holding Geoff. "Take him to teh back room." The nod and Genesis gives the newcomers a great smile. "What'll it be boys?"
