“So Wayne, let me ask you something,” Geno said. Casually. As if the question had just occurred to him, instead of being mulled over for weeks, waiting for Geno to work up the nerve to ask.
“Shoot,” Wayne said.
“How do you get out of a mounted attack when you’re facedown?”
Wayne grimaced and blew his breath out pursed lips. “That, my friend, is the worst position to be in. You don’t have a hell of a lot of options. Come here, I’ll show you.”
He lay prone and Geno got on his back, which was a hundred million times easier than straddling his groin, for fuck’s sake.
“Turtle on his back has a better advantage than a man on his face,” Wayne said. “Your priority is to roll the fuck over. How do you do that?”
“Push on your arms?”
“You can use your arms as levers, sure,” Wayne said. “But with full weight on top of you already, you risk injuring your back and that does you no good. Key is your hips. To get them free, you have to curl in a ball. Don’t arch up, curl in.”
He demonstrated, pulling his elbows in tight, shifting his weight onto this doubled-up platform and jack-knifing his knees in. “Buck like a bronco,” he said. “Rock and roll, throw the attack off balance. Anything you can do to get turned around and facing your opponent. Worst position to be in is facedown and pinned.”
Wayne grinned then, his eyes twinkling. “But that’s not likely to happen to you, pretty boy,” he said. “Unless they’re trying to get your pants off.”
Geno walked out.
He didn’t look back and he never returned.
