"We're looking for this man, have you seen him?" the first man asked, holding out a picture of Lex.

"Just a few minutes, please, I'll be right with you," the man replied, as he started rocking, his breathing becoming heavier and louder.

"What do you mean, a few minutes? Stand up and answer me brat, you don't know who you're dealing with," the man said as he jumped over the counter and reached to grab the man on the floor. But things did not proceed how they usually did.
