The Visitors, Part 2:
*His grin widened to such a state that I feared his ears would disappear.* What do you mean...will and d-d-d-disappearance? "Oh please don't worry your pretty head, just hand over the $50,000, well let's make it $60,000 for my valuable time that's being wasted, and I shall leave you be. If you are truly disagreeable to pay me then you should consider updating your will as well. Should some unforeseen disappearance occur to you as well." Wh-Wha-What? But I don't have that kind of money!! It was Dan's problem, not mine!!!! You can't possibly think threatening me and holding me responsible is going to hold up when the cops get involved. "Dollface, the cops are in my pocket when I want them to be. Not to mention, it was his dying wish that you pay me back. And I can promise you, no threats have been made only how things will be should I not get my money."
*It was at this point that Cinny came around the corner, having had a good nap, and saw the strangers. He sniffed at them and began to growl then bark. Even he knew they were no good.* "Oh look Joey, a mutt! Why don't you play with him while I help our fair dollface understand the importance of giving me what's mine." *Noel grinned with a hint of something in his eyes that I can't be sure I understand.* I'm not a dollface and I don't owe you shit. GET OUT!!! *I was done with the threats, veiled or otherwise, and needed them gone, now! It was at this point Noel just smiled at me then turned to giant number 2, Joey, and nodded.
In that moment my world came to a crashing halt as Joey proceeded to rear his leg back and then kick Cinny as hard as he could. Cinny flew across the room, crashing into a wall, and didn't move.* CINNNYYYYYYY!! *I screamed and raced over to him. He wasn't moving, he wasn't responding to my touch. He was limp. Then before I could process more, I was raised by my hair, turned around, and Noel was in my face sneering at me.* "You have 48 hours DOLLFACE, to give me the money I'm owed or suffer the same." *With that he hauled back and backhanded me then Joey dropped me on my ass and the 3 of them walked away leaving me a puddle on the floor.*
Cinny, Cinny, OHHH Cinny please wake up!! Please don't leave me too. Oh gods... *there was no breath coming out of him, his little eyes staring off, and my eyes were dripping with tears for my precious friend who had seen me through so much. I couldn't protect him when he needed me too.* *The next hour was spent at the Vets trying to explain how he'd died and leaving him to be cremated. Then it was home again to hold his toy to my chest as tightly as I could while rocking on the couch staring into space. Not sure I can recover from this.*
