Filling the pump chamber with another round of boisterous laughter, Smythe adjusts his hat over his shaggy head before giving you a smile that could give Raj a run for his money!
“But where are my manners? <span class="mu-s">REGINALD SMYTHE</span> at your service–but please… call me <span class="mu-s">UNCLE REGGIE!</span>” His cheshire grin somehow grows even wider. “Now I recognize you two…” he adds, drawing his finger from his pocket like a gun and pointing it at Raj and Pepper, “<span class="mu-s">RAJ DAWOOD</span>, yea? I just can’t get enough of those hot lunches <span class="mu-s">D-MART</span> has… tastes like mum used to make…”
Raj shifts a bit on his feet as the newcomer slowly shakes his head and basks in the nostalgia. “Good stuff, good stuff… your parents are still running it, ain’t they? Lovely people… <span class="mu-i">very</span> trusting.”
With the skater now sufficiently spooked, the security man turns and tips his hat at your favorite snoop. “And <span class="mu-i">PEPPER</span> too! My, how you’ve grown!” The girl scowls at him from behind your back. “I still remember the first time you and your brother visited the Hausers…” He reminisces with a rub of his beard, “Your brother, well… he was a perfect gentleman to Mina, but I distinctly remember catching <span class="mu-i">you</span> trying to sneak up to the second floor… old habits, ey?”
“Let us go, Smythe…” Warns Pepper as she emerges from behind you, “There’s bigger fish to fry here-”
“C’mon, now… we’re just waxing nostalgic!” Smythe laughs as he gives one of the armed security goons a friendly nudge! “Nothing wrong with that, is there?”
Smythe’s laugh dies in his throat as he puts his hand back into his khaki pocket. “... how <span class="mu-i">IS</span> your mother, by the way? Stable work?”
You heard the lady, you growl as you take a step in front of Pepper and her <span class="mu-s">SHOTGUN</span> still lying on the ground, he’s got better things to do right now!
Curiosity sinks into the man’s face. “Hmm… don’t recognize you, mate… but if I had to guess…” Taking a whiff in your direction, a fresh smile forms on Smythe’s face almost immediately!
“... now what on Earth would the <span class="mu-s">PIZZA BOY</span> be doing down here? Didn’t you read the signs? Mine’s abandoned, mate–no teens allowed!”
Smythe leans forward a bit as his smirk takes a turn for the grim.
“... You wouldn’t believe how <span class="mu-i">dangerous</span> a place like this can be…”
What do?
