He noticed the blonde was staring at something or someone following her line of sight. Bette. Twice in a row this was no coincidence. She needed a man. And Henry decided he was going to be that man.  

Thomas also noticed Tina’s stolen glances at Bette, too. And everything made sense.

“Hi” he said putting on the brightest smile he could muster under the circumstances.

“Hi” Thomas replied, his voice was laced heavily with dejection in it.

Don’t worry Thomas when I’m finished with her she’ll be on her hands and knees begging for it. He smiled inwardly at his perverted thoughts.

“You say hi and I want to kill myself” Henry slapped Thomas on his back. He could make a good guess what she had just told him. “Henry Young” he held his hand out to Tina who hesitantly accepted. She shivered inwardly as his hand closed over hers.

“Tina Kennard”

“What a beautiful name” he said still holding on to her hands.

Let go of me you fucking bastard. Tina screamed on the inside. She pulled her hand out of his grasp a little too roughly that didn’t go unnoticed by Thomas and Henry.

“Have you two… already met?” Thomas asked finally showing some sign he was still a part of the living world.

“Yes…it seems here that Tina was mad at my disciplinary methods.”

“Methods” Tina said her contempt for Henry coming to the surface.

Thomas hated this bastard he was so easy to dislike with his cocky attitude. Was only a matter of time before Tina hated him, too.

“Yes, methods” he answered back curtly.

What an asshole. Thomas hated Henry’s so called methods too but what could he do, Henry held a higher rank than him.

“So, Tina….”

“That’s Miss Kennard” to you.

Thomas hid his smile.

Henry grinded his teeth together. “Okay” this was one tough chicken.

Across the court yard Bette gritted her teeth. She hated that son of a bitch; he was nothing but shit and a waste of sperm. She craved to see Henry bleed. Soon that would come and when it came she would make him pay for his ways. He shook Tina’s hand and it appeared like he didn’t want to let go but the blonde pulled it away.
