The shopkeeper shook his head in affirmation continuously as he picked each and every penny in the cash register. “Okay sir….. Mr. Tick toke.”
Tick toke moved his huge tall figure towards the entrance and pulled down the blinds to cover wide glass display of the shop and that of the door. “We don’t want to have any unwanted guests, do we?” He at that moment locked the front door and as he locked the door he looked at all those present in the shop. He then moved from the door and made full 360 degrees turns twice with his arms stretched out wide. He stead still then raised his right hand and began hitting the right side of his head above the ear hard with his hand gun until blood began to roll down the cheek. “You got to love pain, it gives perspective to reality.” He looked at his friend who was busy directing the two boys, the woman and her kids to the corner on the right of the rectangular shaped shop near the meat products refrigerator.
