In some breaking news out of the town’s Old City District, Kelvin Brooks has managed to avert a major situation this afternoon.
The engineer was enjoying a couple of Friday afternoon drinks with some mates down at a local pub today when he felt a prick in his mouth.
Letting out a sharp breath, Brooks felt a strong pain stabbing into his cheek.
However, rather than drawing the attention of the group to himself, the quick-witted young man took a couple of seconds to regain his composure and process the situation.
Across the week that was in the news, Brooks had a fair inclination as to what had just transpired.
Quickly rising from his seat the Ponds local quickly darted into the bathroom to inspect what he suspected to be in his mouth.
Spitting out a small amount of blood tainted saliva, Brooks pulled from his mouth a small sewing needle.
In full realization about what could go down if he made a song and dance, Brooks’ instincts kicked in.
Glancing around the empty bathroom, he quickly smuggled the needle into one of the bins and began rinsing his mouth out.
Understanding the gravity of the situation Brooks brushed his face with water and walked back out to the group to continue on his merry way.
After finishing his schooner and getting the round he was due for, he peeled off for a short amount of time to speak to our reporters, briefly explaining why he kept everything under wraps.
“I have had a fucking week. Honestly, the Project Engineer was riding me like a prized pony. If I kicked up a fuss about finding a little needle in my beer. Jesus, it would have just been a nightmare,” he said.
“Bar staff would have been running around, police called, everyone making a scene. I just wanna enjoy a couple of cold ones with some of my friends. Not create national headlines.”
“It did fucking hurt though. The inside of my mouth is real sore. Whoever put the needle in there is a right spoon, but I’m not giving him the satisfaction.”
