Faith swung her leg up and kicked Lobo hard in his balls. No man could withstand a kick to the junk, especially when it carried the strength and speed of a tiger shark shifter behind it. The strike was so solid it lifted him off his feet. One of his friends caught him and held him in place as Lobo grabbed at his cock and howled in pain.

“Ohhhh, God,” he said. “I’m gonna fucking kill you, bitch.”

“I don’t blame you,” Faith said. “That had to fucking hurt.”

One of Lobo’s men reached for Rafe, swinging a wild fist at him, but Rafe was quick, much quicker than Kalina would have ever expected for a human. He stepped right, held up a hand to block the attack, swung left to throw the fist out of the way, and then stepped in with an elbow to the man’s teeth. The gangbanger stumbled back and held a hand up to his bloody mouth. When he smiled, his teeth didn’t look normal. They were razor sharp, and Kalina realized the blood wasn’t coming from his mouth but was dripping from Rafe’s elbow where he’d sliced it on his attack. She tried to step in front of him to defend him, but the aggressor was too fast, and leapt forward, slamming the sole of his boot into Rafe’s chest.

Kalina’s date flew through the air. He actually sailed backward and smashed into a wooden ticket booth, shattering it as his body blew through it and slid across the concrete on the other side.

“Hey!” Kalina yelled at the man as he started to stalk after Rafe.

He turned to look at her, and she hit him with a series of punches so fast it surprised even her. One to the gut, one to the neck, one down at his balls, and the other at his nose. The guy stepped back with each strike until the last one sent him crashing into the ground.

Kalina looked over her shoulder to see that Lobo had Faith by her hair and had lifted her up over his head. He threw her at the bar, and she crashed against a large mirror on the wall. Glass shattered and fell to the ground in tinkling shards following the thud of her body. Somewhere on the other side of that counter, her friend lay in a heap. Kalina’s blood boiled, and she was about to rush at Lobo when she heard a voice that gave her a new sense of hope.

“We got a problem here?” Thane asked as he stepped into view with Kino, Jagger, Hailey, and Rickshaw at his sides.

“Yo, please tell me we got a problem, bruh!” Kino announced, hopping up and down in place with nothing on but a pair of board shorts.

“We definitely have a problem,” Kalina said. “Faith, you okay?!”

“Be there in a minute!” Faith called out from behind the bar where Kalina could hear the sound of glass and knew her friend was doing her best to rise to her feet.

“You all seem like a bunch of badasses with the ladies,” Thane said to Lobo. “Why don’t you try that shit with me?”

He stepped forward and Lobo cracked his knuckles, also stepping forward, unfazed by Thane’s advance. Whoever this mob of thugs was, it seemed they weren’t afraid of anything.

“You think I don’t know who you are?” Lobo asked.

“Who might I be?” Thane replied.

“The one who’s gonna get what’s comin’ to you, motherfucker,” Lobo said. “You just wait and see.”

“Why wait?” Thane asked. “Why not give me what’s comin’ to me right now.”

“Let’s do it,” Lobo said.

Both men moved forward with their teeth gritted, with every intention to fight, until the loud sound of a shotgun shell being slid into place was heard. The cocking of a gun is enough to make anyone freeze. Even Thane and his group feared human weapons.

“That’s enough!” Keelan Kane yelled, holding his shotgun up into the air.

“Perfect timing,” Rafe said. “I was about to get serious on these assholes.”

Even through all the drama, Rafe could make her laugh. She loved his sarcasm.

“What’s going on here?” Kane asked, his question directed at Thane.

“I just got here,” he replied. “You should ask these pricks what all the ruckus is about.”

“Just making friends, officer,” Lobo said. “We’re new in town and nobody likes to invite the new kids to the party.”

“I’d say we gave you pretty good welcome though,” Faith said as she came out from around the bar.

“You okay?” Kane asked her.

“Never been better,” she said. “That one hits like a girl.”

Lobo laughed off her remark and held up his hands.
