REVENGE OF THE VAGABOND

CHAPTER 4

The guards immediately pinned Oliver down on the floor once again after he punched Carter in the face so hard that he also fell to the floor.

The people were shocked, ''Are you out of your mind?!'' Merideth shouted and threw her heels on his face and it hit on Oliver's face.

The cell phones that are on live are still focused on them on the ground, Oliver was all over the internet and he have no idea what the public was saying about him. For sure it's all bad comments.

He also found his workmates in the crowd with worried and disappointed faces. He didn't expect one of them to meddle in the trouble he made.

''E-excuse me sir, we'll take care of him, he's our workmate,'' Adam said but the guards didn't listen to him and kept a tight grip on Oliver. He groaned when a guard stepped on his back, ''H-he's just drunk, I'll take him home!'' Adam exclaimed.

''Don't get involved in this, we can handle this,'' the guard commanded, making Adam retreat helplessly.

''You're just embarrassing yourself! He's a son of a CEO and you are his worker!'' Another colleague, Amy dictated. Adam signaled Amy to shut her mouth.

''Are you this guy's friend?!'' Carter seriously asked Oliver's co-workers. He looked at them and they were nervous, ''Should I fire you all together?!'' 

''N-no! Please don't! W-we don't have a bad and poor friend like him!'' Dylan answered which surprised him, ''He is our workmate but he is not our friend, b-because we also have heard that he is a bad person," said Fred.

''It's sad, no one even is friendly to you. ' Carter boasted.

''By the way, I just want to ask if this man is harassing my fiancee at the office?" Carter asked, they didn't witness anything like that but Dylan seemed to be making up a story, "I-I saw it he sometimes follows Merideth, I don't know why but it seems like he stalks her.''

''Yes, it's true. He always followed me and called me, forcing us to get back together even though I didn't want to,'' Merideth indicated, good at pretending.

Oliver is very confused about what's going on, and why they're helping to destroy him.

''Guards, call the personnel right now!!'' Carter ordered and immediately one of the guards called. Oliver remained prostrate on the floor and could not do anything other than face the consequences of what he had done.

A little later the police came, ''Arrest him!'' Carter pointed him so the police immediately cuffed his hands behind his back.

''You have no escape,'' Carter said with a grin, ''Let's see where your courage will reach,'' Maybe he thought Oliver was afraid of him, but he wasn't.

''Pathetic,'' Oliver laughed, Carter is trying hard to scare him but Oliver can't help but spit on his dirty face which made Carter shake, ''Don't test me,'' Carter warned. His eyes widened as he looked at me, ''Asshole!'' Carter sneered, he was about to throw a punch but Oliver dodged and kicked him in his stomach.

Carter groaned in pain as he fell to the floor once again, it was the second time Oliver had knocked him down and he would not like it if Oliver bury him alive.

The police immediately pulled Oliver away, ''Take him to the precinct!'' he ordered furiously, Oliver looked at him for a while as the policeman dragged him into the police mobile.

The car started and only a few minutes later they arrived at the police station. They violently dragged him out as if he was crippled, he could see on the faces of these policemen that they would follow what Carter ordered and would surely take revenge, he couldn't face him because he can't beat Oliver.

''Coward,'' Oliver mumbled, a policeman elbowed him and looked at him in disgust, ''Are you saying something?!'' he dictated but Oliver didn't pay attention.

They took him to a cramped room and made him sit on a wooden chair, ''Mr.Johnson filed several charges against you and demanded 30,000 bails or you would go to jail,'' said the police officer who was in front of him.

''What?! That's unreasonable!'' He complained.

''You created a disturbance there, so you deserve to pay damages for what you destroyed!'' the officer replied seriously, ''Besides, there will be additional charges against you if it is proven that you exploited the fiancee of Mr. Johnson, who is Ms. Merideth Lurkin,'' he added and Oliver shook his head in disbelief.

What the hell?! Exploited?!

''You have twenty-four hours to pay the damages, Mr.Sullivan,'' the officer reminded him and he leaned back in the chair, it was like he was carrying heavy baggage.

Oliver isn't able to pay that much when he doesn't have any money right now so he doesn't have any other choice, he better borrows money from acquaintances who hopefully have some extra.

It's embarrassing but he has to do it because he doesn't want to rot in jail. He took out his phone from his pocket, opened it, and looked at his contacts. There was only one person he could approach in an emergency, it was Adamson Cullen. He's one of those kinds of co-workers he can lean on when he's in need. He has come to him several times when he has some tiny problems.

When he dialed his number it rang, he thought someone would answer but suddenly it hung up.
