Ryo hides behind Hakeem. Gasping for air. the man having almost made him pass out from lack of oxygen. He watches as the guy cracks his neck then his knuckles.<span style="font-style: italic">"You protect little bastard?" he asks in broken english laced with a heavy Italian accent. "He owes us. He belong to us. Til he do job right. Or he dies."</span>The guy says quite bluntly. Ryo manages to gasp out. "Website. Say it bad. Not work. And beat me to pulp. Want redone. But I checked. Its more than getting the average hit ratio." he says softly. "That guy...is a thug. His dad is a lawyer for some guy in Italy. And as such...he thinks that my website making for them...makes me their private property." he says. Trying not to wince as the guy had quite literally thrown him away when Hakeem hit him.
