Chapter Three : The Rough Patch Amends
That same evening at Jen's Diner...
Jonny and I are sitting in a booth across from each other with my half eaten plate of ravioli.
And I have just sensed an uneasy vibe from my ex-boyfriend, Jonny.
"Violet? We need to talk about something." Jonny said to me.
"Okay, what is it?" I asked.
"Me and Prudence . . . she and I hooked up with each other at the Gale Saisons." Jonny told me.
I become bewildered.
"I had no idea that she was gonna be there at Fleury Monne. After we broke up, I've been drinking a little. Prudence just happened to show up. And then, we just kissed and ended up at the Gale Saisons." Jonny explained himself.
"Jonny? You're single. You can do whatever you want." I casually said to him.
"How can you be so casually about this?" Jonny asked me.
"Because I'm used to it." I told him. "Because whenever you and I have an argument, or something comes in between us, or something like this happens..." referring to Jonny's and Prudence's hookup. "... I've been burned by you."
"How can you say something like that? Unless, you've given up on us reconciling our relationship." Jonny said.
"I'm sorry, J. Harp. I really am." I apologized to him with a glum expression on my face.
"Yeah, I assume you are." Jonny said with an attitude.
"What's with the attitude?" I asked him.
"It's you, Violet. Here I am, trying to make amends with you, pouring my heart out to you and you reject me. At least, Prudence knows that I feel wanted." Jonny told me with a attitude.
"Oh, please, Jonny. She's just using you for a piece of ass." I told him with a attitude. "Bad Girl Prudence Rivera is the female doppelgänger of Ricky Henson. But you don't care because you hooked up with her at the Gale Saisons. So, why don't you go back to your Bedfellow Booty Call."
"Maybe, I will." Jonny said with a scowl expression on his face.
I look at Jonny utterly shocked. And he becomes shocked himself at what he just said.
"Violet?" Jonny said.
"Don't." I said to him. "But when things go baddie awry for you with Prudence, don't say I didn't warn you, because unlike, her, I care about you."
And I resume eating on my plate of ravioli with my fork. And Jonny gets up and walks away.

TAVERN BODGE LOCAL BAR AND LOUNGE CLUBHOUSE
Later on the next day, I'm sitting at an arcade machine, playing a video game.
My phone buzzes in my skinny pants pocket. I pause the arcade game and pulls out my phone and looks at it.
Christine Avery
I answer my phone. "Hey, Christine."
"Hey, Violet. I need a small favor to asks you." Christine Avery asked.
"Okay, what is it?" I asked.
"I'm on a stakeout right now and I have a intel on a Scary Bunny manic gang member at the Dark Vulture Bar. I need you to go inside, disguise yourself and try to lure him away." Christine Avery said.
"Okay. Will do." I said.
"And by the way, the Scary Bunny gang member won't be wearing his bunny mask. He'll have a bunny tattoo on his right wrist." Christine Avery said.
"Alright, I'm on my way." I said, and hangs up my phone.

DARK VULTURE BAR AND LOUNGE CLUBHOUSE
That late afternoon, I slowly walks inside the dimly main room, dressed up in my undercover disguise.
With my earpiece, I slowly walks further inside, I spot Ricky Henson along with the Skullies, partying with each other with their cocktail drinks.
I then, slowly walks up to the bar counter and gently leans backwards on it.
"Okay, Christine. Do you copy?" I asked her on the earpiece.
"I copy, Sweetums. If you see the unmasked Scary Bunny gang member, let me know." Christine Avery said on the earpiece.
"Okay." I said.
"Violet?" Ricky said, slowly walks up to me, and glances at my outfit and small smiles. "You look absolutely hottie."
"Shut up, Ricky." I said to him. "I'm here on a special agent business."
"Wearing that sexy outfit, I'm sure you are." Ricky said to me with a small smile.
I punch him in his face. And he gently holds his face.
"That hurt." Ricky said, casually.
"Don't care." I said and then, spots Jonny and Prudence kissing each other on the three seat sofa. "Jonny?"
Jonny stops kissing Prudence and looks at Me, shocked. "Violet?"
"Prue?" Ricky said to his girlfriend.
"Ricky." Prudence said to her boyfriend.
Jonny and I exchange slight tense looks at each other. And then, I spot the Scary Bunny henchman by the gray bunny tattoo on his right wrist.
I slowly walks over to the male Scary Bunny gang member and small smiles. "Hi there."
"Hi there back at you." The Scary Bunny henchman greeted back at me.
"Can I offer you a drink of beer?" I asked him.
"I'm fine, but thanks." The male Scary Bunny henchman said to me, and checks out my outfit. "Cute outfit by the way."
"Thanks." I thanked him with a small smile, and punches him in his face, knocking him out unconscious onto the floor.
I speak into my earpiece. "Christine? I got him."
"I'm on my way." Christine Avery said on the earpiece.
Jonny and I exchange looks at each other.

Afterwards, Christine Avery had came inside the bar and zipped-tied the male Scary Bunny maniac henchman.
"Thanks, Violet. I owe you a drink." Christine Avery said to me with a small smile.
"You're welcome." I said to her.
Christine Avery walks away with the Scary Bunny maniac henchman.
Jonny and I exchange looks at each other. I walk away from him but he walks up to me.
"Violet, wait, I'm sorry." Jonny apologized to me.
But I just look at him with a frown expression on my face. "Hope you had fun." referring to him kissy make out with Prudence.
Jonny looks at me with a frown expression on his face and I walks away from him.

BENTON HOME
That evening, I had changed back into my regular clothes and slowly walks inside the living room.
Jonny is there with his face in his hand. He and I exchange looks at each other.
"I am so sorry. I don't know what the hell I was doing." Jonny told me, teary, and sniffles to himself.
I slowly walks up to him and sits down beside him.
"I'm so sorry for what I said to you at Jen's." Jonny apologized to me. "I was a jerk for ever saying that. When we broke up, I was in a dark cloud. The drinking, hookup with Prudence, I am so sorry, Vinny."
"I'm sorry too for my attitude and everything else." I apologized to him. "I forgive you."
"I forgive you too." Jonny said.
Jonny and I exchange small smiles at each other.
"And another thing . . ." I trailed off, gently wiping his tears from under his eyes with my thumbs. ". . . Big boys don't cry."
Jonny small smiles at me and kisses me. And I kiss him back, reconciling our relationship.
My phone buzzes in my skinny pants, causing Jonny and me to gently pulls from the kiss.
I pulls my phone out and looks at it.
Christine
I answer my phone. "Hey, Christine."
"Violet?! He's dead?!" Christine Avery exclaimed on the phone. "The Scary Bunny maniac henchman is dead."
"What? How?" I asked, bewildered.
"Somehow, when I escorted him into the cell room, he must've grabbed a pen and stabbed himself in his throat." Christine Avery told me.
"Okay, I'm on my way." I told her and hangs up my phone.
"What's going on?" Jonny asked me.
"Christine Avery needed my help with something. Do you remember the Scary Bunny maniac henchman at the Dark Vulture?" I asked him.
"Yeah." Jonny said.
"He suicided himself with a pen to his throat." I told him and gets up to my feet. "I have to go."
"Okay, I'm coming with you." Jonny said, getting up to his feet, putting back on his jacket.
"Jonny?" I said.
"I just got you back. I'm not losing you again." Jonny said to me.
Jonny and I exchange nods at each other and walks away.

SPECIAL AGENT OPS FIELD OFFICE
Later on that night, Christine Avery, Jonny and I are looking at the cloth sheet covered dead body of the male Scary Bunny maniac henchmen with a pen to his throat.
"He must've knew I was gonna asks questions and so, he suicided himself." Christine said, sitting atop of the table.
"Of course he did. He's psychologically loyal to Eleanor Reese. But she doesn't care about her henchmen. She can just replace." Jonny said.
Jonny's phone buzzes in his pants pocket. He pulls out his phone and looks at it.
Prudence
Jonny presses the "Red" Decline button and puts his phone back in his pants pocket.

JEN'S DINER
Afterwards, Jonny and I are sitting in a booth table across from each other with our soft serve ice cream sundaes with spoons.
"Do you always have a tab whenever you come to Jen's?" Jonny asked.
"Yeah." I replied. "I've been using my credit card sometimes. By the way, are you okay? You had an annoyed expression on your face when you and your phone."
"Prudence phone called me." Jonny told me. "But you were right about her, V. She's the female counterpart of Ricky Henson."
"Prudence is infatuated with you and now, she has a romantic thing." I said to him.
"So, our hookup activated some sort of romantic taste that Prudence has for me or something?" Jonny said.
"Sort of, yeah." I replied. "But I can put in a restraining order."
"Thanks for the offer, but I can handle her." Jonny said.
"You sure?" I asked.
"Yeah, I'm sure." Jonny said.
