Kade took it easy on the first two eager assailants. Theyâd been trained by Griff, sure. But Kade knew theyâd been fighting their whole lives. Wrestling in the woods as boys. Drunken brawls in bar parking lots as men. Never inside the bar like in the movies. Their mamas raised them with more sense than that.
But they hadnât been raised with enough sense to walk away from this fight.
They came at Kade full speed. No bluff charging, no feeling out their opponent. It was a momentum Kade turned to his advantage.
He planted a powerful push kick in the first oneâs chest. The stout lumberjack probably plowed through a trick like that. But Kade threw kicks like a wrecking ball. He cracked ribs. Collapsed lungs.
Right now, he only wanted to create space to engage the next guy.
With assailant number one reeling, Kade accepted the full force of the second oneâs rush. A subtle twist sent him sailing into the parked truck.
That move Kade hadnât learned in the axe yard at Fort Black. Sergei taught him. The Russian spy had earned a black belt in Judo strictly to impress an egomaniacal President.
But werenât they all?
Kade didnât pause to watch the man sprawl into the dust. He shifted attention back to the first one, staggering to his feet, clutching his chest. Looking to recoup for round two.
Then there was Todd. Sill sneering from the sidelines, face crinkled around the surgical tape that held his nose together. Hadnât yet found the balls Griff had been on about. Or maybe he was just smarter than he looked.
Winded, the guy with Kadeâs boot print on his chest circled. Kade tracked him. He was maneuvering so when his friend got out of the dirt, they could attack from both sides. Todd made a third front if he ever got up the nerve.
Best policy. Not get surrounded in the first place.
Kade raised fists and closed the distance. He telegraphed a straight up brawl. No tricks. The man raised his guard.
Kade soaked up a punch to his head. He tucked his chin. Let it strike his forehead. His sparring partner would feel that later. Closed hand strikes always ran the risk of tearing up hands and shattering bones. Kade knew he needed those for a few more rounds to come. So when he returned the blow, as his fist sailed toward the manâs jaw, he released his fingers and struck him with an open palm.
The crack echoed off the bare stone amphitheater. His opponent staggered, the whole side of his face a violent shade of purple. Kade launched a straight, open-palm strike into the manâs sternum. What little breath recovered left him in a gasping woosh.
Kade spun in time to throw a sidekick at the second opponent. All his scrambling off the ground had earned him was a hiking boot into his throat. He went back down.
Todd circled the fight. Fully focused on Kade.
âNo guns, huh.â Todd slid a combat knife from a sheath attached to his vest.
Cute, Kade thought.
