"Thank you for the help."

::Dom grabs a piece of paper from a nearby table, and removes a pen from his pocket. He writes down a considerably large figure on the paper, and signs his name under it.::

(That aught to be damn near enough.)

::He looks at the fine collection of weaponry and lamps.::

::Outbids Dominick.::

::Dom looks at the man who has just placed a bid. He walks over to the man.::

"Excuse me sir, are you bidding on these antiques?"

(Damn, I need this stuff.)

::The old man points to his name underneath Dominick's on the piece of paper.::

"That's my name, Sonny-Jim. You think I put it there for fun? This lamp is mine!"

"And if I payed you double what you bid? Would you consider removing your bid?"

::Dominick stares down the old man.::

(Damned ol' farts anyways!)

"Look sonny, I worked hard all my life to be able to afford such great art as this, I am collecting all the lamps by Jaques DuFreuax and I will possess them all!"

::The old man scowls and hobbles away indignantly.::

"DAMN!"

(Oh shit! Did I just shout that?)

::Dom punches the air, then stops suddenly.::

(Quit making a fool of yourself dumbass. Wait I can fix this problem.)

::Dom walks over to the piece of paper. He looks around the room to make sure nobody is looking. He pulls out his pen and marks the old man's name and bid out.::

::Coming around to check on his bids, the man sees his name has been crossed out. Enraged, he walks off to find the manager and complain.::

::Hannah walks over to the paper for the bid and examines it. She then glances up and locates Dominick, walking over to him.::

"Excuse me, Sir, we've had a complaint that somebody has crossed out another gentleman's bid and I'm sorry to say that you have been accused. We are going to check the security camera soon, but I thought I would alert you beforehand in case there's anything you'd like to say?"

"What would you like me to say?"

(Figures I would get busted. Ehh...no point in lying.)

"Yes I marked his name out. I have no problem in admitting it."

"Well, that may be the case, Sir, but if so, then Bucklands has a problem with this kind of behaviour. I think you can understand why we might not tolerate such agression towards our other clients and also why I am going to have to ask you to leave."

(What a nutcase.)

"Well I'm sorry we won't be doing business together. I had foreseen more business with this auction house, but I guess that will not be occurring."

(Big deal. I'll just find someplace else to go.)

::Dominick turns around and exits the building, and goes somewhere better to buy furniture.::
