More from IanMJ91
(This is based on a IRL situation except I was just shorted lol)
So a few years back, my dad would have to be my guardian for my gigs since I was underage.
This is what happened:
It's after a performance,the lights are dim,but bright enough for the band to see things so they can load out
Otis observes how much money is counted and split among the older musicians and out of concern my dad asks me, "They paid you pretty quickly, how much did they pay you?" I said with a disappointed tone "I made $xx.xx they told me they didn't have much because of the turnout at the bar, I had fun though at least."
Otis's chipped ear twitched,his pupils dilate then gets his focus back and sighs out his anger and says, "Okay,I'm gonna have a quick talk with the band leader, finish packing your drums and put them by the door and wait for me there." I nod and walk off to finish packing up.
So I quickly finish moving my last drum I can see dad walking over but I can't hear him walking even though my Dad is a large guy he can move very stealthily...no wonder I get startled when he's behind me
ANYWHO...
Dad now knows I have been shorted and used my hunger to play and my kindness to take advantage of me. Dad is NOT the one for dishonesty, you're on his shit list if you pull something like that.
Which angered Otis more was that it was a packed house,he already knew how much the band made for the night and since it was packed they got paid extra, how does he know? Well...since he's a owner of a contracted security company has ins with the owners at various venues including the one I was hired to play at.
Otis appears behind the band leader saying "I know how much the band got paid tonight,when Teddy told me how much he got paid...something didn't add up." The sight of seeing the band leader jump was priceless.
The Band leader begins to tense up but Otis continued "You have 2 options, Pay my son what is owed to him, or I'll use your money to pay for your medical stay tonight, choose wisely."
Looking back on what happened.....I think that band leader was lucky...I think if the show didn't end up the way it did my dad's reaction would've been a lot worse...like I don't think he would've told me to wait at the door...he would've told me to put my stuff down and wait outside
