A Waste Not to Carry Bricks

Luke wasn't angry. He simply chuckled. "Francis is just a lackey. He has a backer who saw everything that happened here."

Wade said, "So what? If he dares come, my big dick won't let him go. I'll definitely beat him up until he calls me Dad."

Glancing at Vanessa, Luke said, "So, he knows that Francis kidnapped your girlfriend. In other words, he knows who your girlfriend is."

Wade was stumped. "What?"

Luke said, "I don't think he'll come looking for trouble with you again for the time being. Call me when you're free."

Then, he took off his hat and bowed slightly to Vanessa. "Ma'am, your courage is worthy of all praise. May fortune always be with you."

With that, he put on his hat and glided off to disappear into the night sky.

After a brief silence, Vanessa looked at Wade. "Who was that?"

Wade laughed hollowly. "An unimportant character. I just made a call and had him come over."
