Damn, how many goons can the mob possibly have?

There are only three of them, but these men are oddly strong. If they weren’t I’d have laid them out already. They drag me back to a small storage room and toss me inside, closing the door and locking it from the outside.

But at this point, I’m not worried about myself as much as I’m worried about Hawes. Everything was looking good up until Legrand got a knife. Someone must have thrown it into the ring for him while we weren’t looking.

The danger with knives is that they can easily do fatal damage to shifters, wounds that can’t heal fast enough to save you from death. And in the hands of a killer like Legrand, who was said to have used a knife in several of the murders he committed, I can’t help but freak out thinking about what he could do to Hawes.

I sit on a nearby bucket and run my hands over my arms, hugging myself, trying to keep calm. My mind thinks of trying to escape, but there’s no way out except the front door, and I’m sure the guys that brought me here are still out there, guarding it.

I can hear noise from the arena now. It sounds distant, even though it’s just that way because of the concrete walls surrounding me. The sound isn’t like the sound of the end-of-match ruckus. It sounds like bedlam, like complete chaos. Maybe a riot broke out?

My mind starts teetering at the implication. Did Legrand kill Hawes? Is Hawes lying, bleeding to death, in the middle of the ring even now?

Keep it together, I try to tell my brain, but I can’t cope with the thought of losing Hawes after just realizing how badly I want him. How much I want to be with him.

I hear raised voices outside of the door, but I can’t understand them through the heavy door and thick walls. The sound is followed by shuffling feet and several thuds. Maybe the riot made its way into the halls? Maybe it will give me an opening to escape.

But as soon as the sound outside the door starts, it’s over again, and all I hear is the more-distant sound of whatever is going on inside the arena. Whatever happened just now, it was fast.

There’s silence for a moment. Then I hear a tap tap tap on the door.

Shit. It’s Legrand. He’s finally come for me, is all I can hear my brain telling me. It’s all over. I feel the walls starting to close all around me, getting colder and closer.

The handle to the door jiggles a bit, but doesn’t move. A second later, there’s a loud wrenching sound of the knob being pulled off completely. I stand up and position myself, ready to pounce on whoever is coming in, even if it’s Legrand.

Another second passes, and the door is kicked in. It swings widely, the deadbolt having been torn off. It hangs ajar, and for a moment, all I can see figure of a man at the doorway, peering inside.
