Slaughtered Lamb, evening, anyone? OTA/MW
The Lamb was never exactly quiet but Wednesday was one of its slightly less busy nights and there were a few free tables and the dartboard was free.

Charlie came in and looked around, waved to Molly and headed for the bar. "Hello sweetheart," he said. "Happy thhhhhhinko da mayo. Guiness please. Ah - and one for my friend here. What're you having?"

"Okay," Charlie said and leaned across the bar to catch Molly's eye. "Sweetheart," he said, "there's someone here who's been bothering Bea. is it okay if we give him his marching orders?"

Molly looked at Bea. "If he's bothering you and you don't want to be bothered he needs an ass-kicking," she agreed. "But - look hun - can you do it quietly? Don't want to spoil anyone's fun but his."

	Bea nodded, her stomach turning into knots. "I don't want any trouble," she repeated. "He's just gotten - aggressive before." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Aggressive - right, um - Allan too then. Molly, can you stay a moment? " Charlie said and when the barmaid nodded, went to gather the troops. "Don't you worry, hun," Molly said, "Manor folk take care of each other." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Bea bit her lip as she watched her friends go off to take care of the man for her and sighed. "I hope it doesn't make the situation worse," she said softly to Molly. "He hasn't taken kindly to getting put out before." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"If he cuts up rough Kara's brothers will most probably deal with him. He'd be wise to leave quietly." Molly sighed and tried not to watch as Nick ambled towards the man's drinking arm and Vincenzo and Allan converged from two other sides. Charlie gave him a bright smile and murmured, "I think you'd better go now. Yes, I know this is a public bar and this isn't a private party and that you have a right to drink here if you want, But you forfeited rights when you were an ass to our friend."

The guy looked to Bea with a very real look of almost hatred, if she interpreted right, and she decided right then and there that she was not going to watch what was about to happen, and concentrated very hard on her drink.

"I don't know what you're talking about," the guy said as he stood. He wasn't going to put up too much of a fight, though. The two rougher looking fellows could make up the side of a barn side by side. He also didn't understand what sort of game Bea was playing, having him kicked out like this when she'd been shooting him 'fuck me' eyes all night. Women were such stupid teases sometimes. "I haven't been bothering anyone."

	"Well, if it's a case of mistaken identity I'm sorry, but I'm concerned for my friend," Charlie said and made a motion towards the door. "Please," Vincenzo said, his tone chilly. Nick said nothing but Allan grinned and said, "Come on, take yerself off like the good little man y'are, or me might just start shoutin' "stalker"." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

His spine straightened, very regal considering the circumstances, and he looked at Charlie because he seemed the least harmful and the closest to his own size.

"I just bought her a beer," he said, loud enough for half the bar to hear including Bea. "And that was because she was coming on to me all fucking night. So if you have a problem - take it up with her."

Bea flinched and shot the guy a disbelieving look. Coming on to him? She hadn't even noticed him until Molly had pointed him out!

	"Well there ya go," Allan said. "What have you got that we haven't? Just put it down to jealousy." Charlie chuckled. "Thank you for being so cooperative." And they moved forward, edging him to the door. "Looks like he's going," Molly murmured to Bea. "Hey - you okay? I know what he said was bull shit." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

The guy stormed out of the Lamb, letting the door slam behind him and Bea shook her head, still completely disbelieving. "God. He's so fucking crazy. I've been with Charlie since I walked in the door!" She shook her head a little and smiled at Molly. "And thanks, sweetie. I'll be okay. Put all of their next rounds on my tab, okay?" She turned to the men. "Thank you boys," she said as she walked over and planted a friendly kiss on Charlie and Allan's cheeks, since she knew them best, and gave Nick and Vincenzo a wave. She knew them too, but not well enough to go spreading her lip gloss all around.

"Mwahahahaha," Allan grinned. "I got kissed. Need a drink to celebrate." he grinned at Bea and made a beeline for the bar.

"Has that guy been bothering you, miss?" Vincenzo said. "Because I can post a description of him at the desk and if he tries to get in the building the guys will know to show him right back out again."

Charlie had been muttering to Nick who was nodding agreement, but he turned at that and said, "Stalker policy I think, Vin. A bit more serious than bothering."

	Bea chewed on her bottom lip at the use of the word 'stalker'. God, even the thought creeped her out. "What's the stalker policy?" she asked. "I - God. I was hoping it wasn't that serious." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Oh, oh, no, I'm not suggesting it's that serious," Charlie said and gave her a hug.

"It's a term we use in security," Vincenzo explained. "We've got actors, musicians - sometimes they've had stalkers. We've got a system for dealing with it. Not just the guys on the desk but all the staff keep an eye open for strangers andfor anything unusual. Like someone going through the garbage. You'd be surprised what they do."

	Bea leaned on Charlie as she listened, then nodded at Vincenzo. "I see. Thank you. I'm sorry I've made such a mess," she apologized earnestly. "I know you guys run Manor security like a machine and this makes the second incident I've had. First my sister and now this. I promise I don't invite trouble." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Don't give it another thought," Vincenzo said. "Are you going to be okay to get home?" He glanced across at emily, obviously eager to get back to her. "I'll ride shotgun when you're ready, hun," Nick said. "And me and D," Charlie promised. "Old fart face will need a - a - howitzer to get past us three he-men." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Yes, I'll be fine," Bea said with a warm smile to Vincenzo, and then laughed at Charlie. "He'd have to be pretty fucking stupid to fuck with you three, that's for certain," Bea agreed. "What did he say to you guys? Aside from the point when he shouted that I was coming on to him." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Just that he wasn't bothering anyone," Charlie said, "which he was - you. So he had to go. And he's gone so come and have another drink and we could take it to the pool table. I'll let you admire D's butt - always worth a lok." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Bea laughed and bumped her hip against Charlie's, then wrapped her arm around his waist in a friendly half-hug. "Thanks! That's the thing about having a big, gorgeous man, isn't it? Sometimes you've gotta be generous and give your friends a second to perv too," she said, eyes soft with thoughts of her own big, gorgeous man's butt. (Reply to this) (Parent)
