As Eric approached the club's entrance with his bodyguards in the Merah Club, he was suddenly, and unexpectedly, stopped by two burly bouncers. ��What's this?�� he asked with a hint of anger in his voice. He had never been stopped before.
The bouncer to his left shrugged and said, ��Master Bush, no offense, but weapons are no longer admitted on the premises.��
Eric frowned. The only weapon he had on him was a Swiss army knife, and there was no way he was going to relinquish it to either of these goons. ��What if I refuse to cooperate?�� he asked.
The bouncer sighed. ��Please don't make this difficult,�� he said. ��There was an altercation yesterday involving Mr. Stone, and we've been ordered to step up our security precautions. We're just following orders.��
Eric frowned and said, ��Tell me about this... altercation.��
��Someone shot him up pretty good,�� the bouncer said. ��Then they cut off his genitals.��
