<strong>Character Name:</strong>Andrew Payne and Jimmy Panick<br/><strong>Date/Time:</strong>Wednesday, March 1st | 12:00 PM<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Pride Rock Casino<br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>David Hunter, Dante Romano, Open<br/><strong>Mentioned:</strong>N/A<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Jimmy staggered backward when David walked into his path.<br/><br/><strong>Oh leaving before getting what you need for your boss?</strong><br/><br/>Jimmy’s eyes frantically darted at the exit over David’s shoulder and then down at the suitcase the man held in his hand. He was sweating, pale, and his heart was sprinting in his chest. Before Jimmy could speak, Andy had caught up to him and frowned in irritation at David. His eyes darted down to the suitcase. Andy held up his hand and replied with a raised brow, “I don’t need anyone’s help. We’ll be taking that money now.”<br/><br/>Andy’s frown started to lift as David continued:<strong>Oh and if you need a lift back to your boss, just let me know. I think you might need a ride to get the money back to him.</strong><br/><br/>Andy blinked and Jimmy’s mouth slowly fell open. Before another thought passed through their heads, a loud ringtone with the opening piano chords from the song “Bad to the Bone” by George Thorogood & The Destroyers caused the two minions to jump. It was the ringtone Andy had assigned his boss (in secret) to alert him whenever it was Dante who was trying to call him. Jimmy sprang away from Andy with a shriek as though a bomb were in his pocket. Andy removed the cellphone from his pocket and held it away from his head as though it were a violent and thrashing creature. He held it out to Jimmy who waved his hands wildly in avoidance. The phone had already rang twice. He couldn’t allow it to ring a third. Andy glanced at the call, seeing that it was a video call and he turned the phone toward him before answering it.<br/><br/>The phone’s screen revealed Dante, scowling and lying prone across a massage table as a masseuse kneaded the muscles of his back. Andy was wearing a forced grin on his face, which Dante could clearly see. The boss took his time to say anything as he and Andy stared at each other. Dante’s amber eyes eventually lowered to his watch face, staring at it for a few seconds before they returned to Andy who was starting to sweat profusely.<br/><br/>Andy opened his mouth to finally speak when Dante beat him to it: “Where’s Jimmy? I don’t want to have to repeat myself.”<br/><br/>In an instant, Jimmy was at Andy’s side gazing at Dante with a look of dread. Andy glanced at Jimmy’s face and elbowed him. In an instant, Jimmy’s eyes were wide and teeth bared in a grin that could frighten children. Dante slow blinked once more.<br/><br/>“I had to request a massage so that I could talk to you two with a cool head,” Dante informed. “It is probably because of this massage that I’m not losing my shit over why you bone heads are late.”<br/><br/>“We-we got the money boss,” Andy informed. “We-we were just heading back now.”<br/><br/>“What took so long?”<br/><br/>Jimmy whimpered, “Well, uh, Mr. Hunter just gave us the money now.”<br/><br/>An arrogant smirk cocked on Dante’s face. “Oh really? Is David there?”<br/><br/>Andy nodded, while Jimmy shook his head. Dante’s smirk fell from his face, and the two minions glanced at each other.<br/><br/>“Let me speak to him,” Dante ordered.<br/><br/>Jimmy cringed and Andy slowly turned the cellphone so that Dante and David could see each other. Dante’s smirk returned to his face as he regarded David.<br/><br/>“Struggling David? I didn’t think I was asking for much. I figured Pride Rock was prospering.”
