Harper reached for his gun on his hip, only to remember he wasn’t carrying.
“Someone call the police!” a woman cried out.
Logan winked at Harper then threw a sloppy right punch.
It took work to be that bad.
Harper sidestepped and landed a hard right hook directly against Logan’s side. He grunted, his bigger body absorbing the blow.
“Good job,” Logan wheezed in a voice that only reached Harper’s ears out then staggered back.
Baruti was quick to grab Logan by the back of the shirt and haul him away.
The scene was complete, and the deed done. Now to sell it.
Harper whirled toward Daar. A few of the onlookers had woken up to the incident and two women knelt by Daar’s side.
“Uncle Daar?” Robin called out.
“Stay in the car,” Harper barked at her, switching into his more comfortable role as a bodyguard.
Thank fuck this was completely his wheelhouse.
“No police. No, thank you,” Daar was practically chanting at the people now closing in.
He sat on the ground, one hand pressed to his side.
Harper went to a knee and gripped his arm. “Are you okay? Where are you hurt?”
Daar looked up at Harper. “Get me out of here. Now.”
“Understood.”
He looped Daar’s arm around his shoulders then lifted the smaller man. Harper could have just picked him up, but a man like Daar wouldn’t appreciate the undignified moment.
Despite telling Robin to get in the limo, she stood at the door watching with wide, fearful eyes.
“What’s wrong? What happened?” she asked.
“He’s fine,” Harper said. “Get in. Now.”
“Do as he says,” Daar snapped.
Robin flinched then quickly disappeared into the limo.
Harper glanced over his shoulder, scanning the area. He knew Logan and Baruti were gone, but if this were a real attack Harper wouldn’t know that. He couldn’t act as if the danger had passed.
Harper stopped at the open door. “Get in. Can you?”
“I’ll be fine,” Daar practically snarled.
The man was angry, that was for sure.
Good.
Harper got into the limo and closed the door.
Cassim gripped the edge of the window separating the front seat from them. “Drive! Drive already.”
