Angus tucked his hands into his pockets as he strolled back to Charity’s house. Now the ladies were all confined in one house, Aaron was going to keep watch while everyone else in the Star Elite tried to work out how the six of them were going to watch over three men; Mr Horvat, and both Lawrence men. Not only that but they had to avoid the curious gazes of the locals and stay out of sight in a village where nobody seemed able to cough without it being recorded by at least half a dozen people. To add to their work-load, they had to make sure that everything they did was kept from the curious women Charity called friends, and even Charity herself, which was going to be difficult seeing as they were using her house.

“Damn, using her home is both a blessing and a curse,” Angus growled aloud.

Absently, he watched his breath fog out before him. He was so absorbed by his thoughts of Charity, and whether he really could contemplate life in a village like this, that Angus failed to notice he was no longer alone. It wasn’t until something hard and heavy hit the back of his head that his thoughts slammed to a stop. Pain exploded behind his eyes. His flinch was instinctive. Just as he whirled around to face his attacker, Angus was struck again, this time on the side of the head. The urge to fall to the floor was strong, especially when he saw the world swirl, and felt bile rise in the back of his throat. He stubbornly refused to give in to either, and instead curled his lip in a snarl of outrage seconds before he yanked the assailant’s weapon off him and rammed it hard into the attacker’s stomach.

The man growled, ducked low, and surged forward, but this time, Angus was ready for him. The fight was swift. It was brutal. Angus took as many hits as he gave. He knew he was fighting someone who was a fighter; someone who was equally adept at disarming an opponent. Unfortunately, Angus knew how to bring a man like his assailant down.

The rain pelted down in thick sheets. Every time Angus looked up he was immediately blinded by a steady deluge of water that made it difficult to see much of anything except a swirling black shadow that continued to attack and retreat. Angus dug deep for the strength to ignore the pain throbbing wildly in his head and took his anger about being caught unawares out on the man before him. Fists landed with bruising accuracy. Grunts and groans shattered the evening peace as the men brawled for supremacy. Blood exploded in his mouth, but Angus merely wiped it off with the back of his hand. A snarl of rage escaped him. He had to get the hood off his attacker, so he could see his face. He wished now he had thought to tug his own hood up but hadn’t because he had wanted to keep a good view of the area around him.
