Mr. Alvarez and Mauro were this fucking close to climbing on top of the table and having a fistfight but Roxanne and Melina managed to calm them down before Zack and Cody tried to use a bit of force. At this moment, the two girls were now beside Mr. Alvarez while Elsa was casually holding a knife pointed right at Mauro's crotch.
In my honest opinion, it was a band-aid attempt to keep the two away from each other but we just needed this meeting to move along so we could go about our ways.
With that said, Mr. Cuervo anchored the conversation to where we last left it.
"Alright, I'm not entirely in the know as to how everyone in my fold is mental-wise but I do try my best to keep everyone busy, happy, or… decent for the most part. To me, taking one's own is the coward's route and if I had complete control over their lives, I'd rather keep my people clinging to life rather than seeing them reduced to a pile of meat chunks."
