Full: D. Three Thugs Chose the Wrong Diner
PART 1 — THEY DESTROYED GRANDMA'S DINER
Snowflakes drifted past the windows of a small roadside diner on Main Street.
Inside, an elderly woman in an apron quietly wiped down the checkered tables.
The diner was modest.
Old-fashioned.
But it had been her entire life.
For decades, she had built the little restaurant through hard work, patience, and love.
Then the front door suddenly flew open.
Three bulky thugs marched inside, tracking dirty snow across the wooden floor.
Their faces carried cruel, confident smirks.
The grandmother looked up.
Before she could say a word, the leader swung his arm into the glass shelves along the wall.
CRASH!
Glass exploded across the diner.
Glasses shattered.
Plates smashed against the floor.
Wooden chairs were kicked across the room.
The two other thugs joined in.
They overturned tables.
They destroyed dishes.
They tore through the little diner as if nothing inside mattered.
Their laughter echoed through the room.
The grandmother stood frozen for a moment.
Then she quickly grabbed an old wooden keepsake box and pulled it tightly against her chest.
She retreated behind the kitchen partition.
Glass continued breaking behind her.
Another chair slammed against the floor.
Another table overturned.
The diner she had spent decades building was being destroyed piece by piece.
Tears streamed down her wrinkled face.
Her hands trembled around the keepsake box.
But beneath the fear, something else began to appear.
Resolve.
She reached into her pocket.
Pulled out an old mobile phone.
Her fingers shook as she opened it.
Then she pressed a speed-dial number.
The phone rang.
The grandmother raised it to her ear.
She swallowed hard.
Her voice came out barely above a whisper.
"It's time... Come now."
Silence.
Then a heavy breath came through the phone.
The grandmother closed her eyes.
The call ended.
Outside the kitchen partition, the three thugs were still laughing.
They kicked another chair across the floor.
They smashed the final tables.
They believed they had completely broken the old woman.
They believed nobody was coming.

They had no idea who had just been summoned.
And they had absolutely no idea whose mother they had just touched.
