Description
Torres met up with Henrique to discuss some intel at an old tavern for an emergency meeting. Certainly an establishment out of her wheelhouse, as it was filled with mostly older folks, but Henrique ensured their meeting had to be at this specific location. According to Henrique (a fellow assassin himself working for La Empresa), his recent target might have connections with a former contract of Torres. Their meeting was going smooth, as both seemed to be connecting their individual pieces of this complicated puzzle, but there was trouble brewing.
Seems these 2 college ruffians have been joking rather obnoxiously to one another at a table nearby. Their rowdy behavior caused some disgruntled looks from the older folks sitting nearby. Torres peered at one of their shirts, and noticed he was wearing a clipped-on microphone around his collar, while his friend was recording. “Ugh…” Torres thought to herself, “...vloggers…”. She’s dealt with her fair share of them, but she was in no mood to interact with these 2 goobers. Henrique had to go use the bathroom, which of course prompted one of the ruffians to approach Torres. “...(sigh)…of course…”
She stared out the window while he tried to get her attention with the typical “dude bro” comments as his friend was cackling filming the whole thing. Torres was annoyed, but there was no need to get mad, which was certainly a switch those 2 didn’t want to see. She was hoping Henrique would return soon and get these 2 bozos to leave her alone, but when she slightly turned to look at the restroom doors, her peripheral vision caused her to stare at the ruffian.
She bursted out laughing, which initially confused him, as he felt as if maybe she had a sense of humor over his cheap lines, but then Torres spoke up. “Holy shit, you are tiny!” as she cupped her hands around her mouth trying to contain her laughter. He couldn’t be any taller than 5'2, which Torres easily towered over even when sitting down, definitely a case of small man syndrome! The ruffian tried to play it off cool, but his face was turning red in embarrassment. He made a cutting gesture toward his friend to stop recording as he tried to get one last line in before heading back to his table. “Heh heh, well I can still lift more than you, OH!”. He turned around, but was quickly stopped, as Torres got a grip of his back collar. She got up from her stool, and started to smirk, “Alright kid, you need a lecture”.
She wrapped her arm around his neck and began squeezing it! She knew her strength, heck she could have crushed his esophagus if she tried, but she wanted to teach this tormenter a valuable lesson. His friend quickly got up and tried to break up her grasp, but that only led to him being put in a headlock of his own! She now had both bullies in her grasp, as she jokingly shrugged her shoulders as the onlookers watched. Both began flaring in anger as their legs were dangling off the ground.
Henrique returned and was alarmed, but assumed those 2 had to have done something to warrant that reaction from Torres. Their faces were turning red, one of them even began passing out, it was time to let go soon. Torres was quite amused at the older folks now began filming on their cellphones. Welp, there goes their vlogging career! Hopefully these 2 buggers learned not to bug strangers anymore, especially an off duty assassin!
