The Stare Skirmish

I personally felt the whole matter was blown out of proportion after all it was the first time Bobby Boira had ever driven a truck and he was only 17 but when he landed in Mr. Deeves rose bush a skirmish ensued.
Mr Deeves stood with his fists clenched as Bobby reluctantly removed himself from the old pickup.
"I lost her around the corner Mr. Deeves I am so sorry," Bobby said.
"Bobby, I've told you time and time again to slow down I've put hours into these roses you jackass," Mr. Deeves begin to duck and weave.
"So you want some of this?" Bobby asked as he crotched down and wiggled his fingers in a wrestling stance.
"Let's dance then you young punk," Mr Deeves removed his cardigan.
Mr Deeves was a spry 70, he had a fines head of silver hair and still swam every Saturday at the YMCA. Bobby would fall some place between heavy and super heavyweight and often took to eating while driving, leaving crumbs in his long beard.
Mrs. Deeves who heard the hubbub and noticed that several neighbors were struggling to cut off the two competitors yelled for them to stop.
"Listen, you two I am going to get the hose if you don't stop. Bobby are you hurt?"
"No mam," Bobby said.
"He's gonna be," Mr. Deeves said as he began to shadow box.
And then they went into a deep stare down. It was as if two cats had a mouse between them. Some said thunder could be heard in the distance. It was an amazing stare down they were poised for whatever it took.
The neighbors eventually walked away as the two men remained frozen and Mrs. Deeves went back into her modest home after an hour or so. As for Mr. Deeves and Bobby, no one knows to this day who looked away first, but they became great friends after that they even garden together and fix up old trucks. I guess they saw each other's frailties and weaknesses or perhaps they just got tired
