cream, and strawberry and moaning with unashamed glee.
     
    "Well, elders are anyone over the age of sixty-five. My practice focuses on combating those who would take advantage of people of that age and older. Swindles, misuse of power of attorney—things of that nature."
     
    "Oh. That sounds rewarding."
     
    "Doesn't pay much, but I like to believe I'm helping people who really need someone to help them."
     
    She was about to say something when Elias suddenly exploded out of his chair, pulled his gun, and commanded in a roar she didn't think he was capable of, "Hands where I can see them! Now!"
     
    The whole place went deadly silent, and when she turned to see what Elias was looking at, she found Tomas at the door.
     
    "Easy there cowboy." Tomas smiled. "I'm a cop."
     
    "Hands where I can see them! Now! Or I put a bullet in your knee."
     
    "I said I was a cop, asshole."
     
    Elias fired, and the bullet smashed into the ground in front of Tomas. "Last warning."
     
    "Fuck!" Tomas shouted, but he lifted his hands.
     
    "Larry, call the cops."
     
    "Right," Larry said, pulling out his cell phone.
     
    "Alright, maybe this is a bad time," Tomas said. "I'll just ease back out of here—"
     
    Elias' gun went off again, this time the bullet hit the door jamb right beside Tomas' face. "You do anything I don't tell you to do, I will shoot you. Are we clear?"
     
    The hatred twisting Tomas' face was alarming. Chelsea had never seen him look so dangerous before. But Elias walked straight at him, as if he were no more dangerous than a puppy. "On the ground, face down, hands stretched out above your head. Now!"
     
    "You are really starting to piss me off, cowboy."
     
    "I have a restraining order, a license, and the will to kill you. Clear?"
     
    Tomas glared at him, but Elias didn't flinch.
     
    The whole of the restaurant seemed to be holding their breath, and then Tomas got slowly to his knees, hands up, and then lied down on the ground, face to the floor. "I swear to god, cowboy, I'm going to take pleasure in gutting you for this."
     
    "You're going to do what I say or I'll put so many bullets in your head you'll be still-born for your next five incarnations. Now, hands flat, palms down, arms stretched out."
     
    "The police are on their way," Larry said calmly.
     
    "I am the police, you moron," Tomas growled.
     
    "You're a criminal right now," Larry informed him. "And we will be pressing full charges on your blatant disrespect for the court order I served you with."
     
    "Fucking asshole!"
     
    Elias walked over to Tomas, then knelt with his knee in the middle of Tomas' back, and the barrel of his 9mm into the base of his skull. Then, with the grace that Chelsea noticed their first night together, he took Tomas' handcuffs from the back of his belt and in a breath of time had Tomas cuffed, never taking the gun from his head the entire time. Once that was done he removed Tomas' gun and put it in his belt.
     
    Sirens wailed in the distance, but Elias didn't move from the position he was in, his knee in Tomas' back, his gun at his skull.
     
    "They're just going to let me go, asshole."
     
    "No they won't, or we'll sue the city, and have reprimands in every one of their jackets," Larry told him calmly. "I'll make sure they know that before they leave with you."
     
    "That's two I'm going to gut."
     
    "Big talk for a man who’s on his way to jail." Larry chuckled. Then he rose. "Alright folks, calm down. The police are here, and this will be taken care of shortly. Anyone who wants to leave, please use the rear exit or go through the kitchen. Martin, make sure people can find their way out if they wish to go."
     
    No one seemed to want to miss anything, and everyone remained where they were.
     
    "Better than pay-per-view," Larry chuckled, giving Chelsea a grin.
     
    She tried to smile back, but terror was in her throat. She knew Tomas would show up. Elias told her that this morning, but she didn't think it would be today,
