“Nah,baby. He might’ve given me the heads up, but this is all on me.I’mthe leader here, and you,whore, are mine. Besides, he’s got his hands full with your prick of a friend… Eastern, is it? The guy’s a liability.”

I see red. Without even considering the rest of his crew or the fact I am launching myself at a six-foot beast, I pull back my fist and punch him as hard as I can on his jaw. The pain I feel as my knuckles hit bone is intense and stars appear in front of my eyes for a moment. Fortunately for me, I’ve scrapped many times before and my adrenaline kicks in quick, forcing me to focus.

He stumbles a little. Shock lighting his dirty-brown eyes, followed quickly by aggression and fury.

“You’ve thrown the first punch,whore, all bets are off!” he yells, before pulling his fist back. I dodge his punch, ducking. Unfortunately, Pink wasn’t quick enough to move out of the way, and his fist meets her temple with a sickening thud. She falls to the ground out cold.Shit!

“You motherfucker!” I scream, throwing myself at him like a wildcat. I use my fists, my nails and my teeth as I attack Monk with everything I have. I might be a girl, I might be small, but Icanfight. If he can hit a woman and not blink, then I sure as hell can fight dirty.

He takes it all with a gleeful smile, batting me off easily before a couple of his gang members grab hold of me, hauling me backwards. My chest is heaving as I struggle against their hold, but instead of hitting me, Monk steps forward and grabs my jaw roughly with his fingers.

“We’ll finish this later,” he spits, his eyes scanning behind us.

“What the hell is going on here?!” Mr Langdon yells as the two boys holding me let me go with a shove. I stumble forward, falling to my knees beside Pink. Kate is already there, her hand pushing back the hair from Pink’s forehead. Her eyes are fluttering open and she groans.

“Shit, thathurt,” she mumbles, tears smarting her eyes.

“Thank fuck,” I say, relieved to find Pink is okay. Well, as okay as she can be with what is likely a concussion and a huge bruise forming on her face.

Looking up at Monk, I bare my teeth. “Next time, I’m going to kill you.”

He just laughs.
