Chapter 19

Jake reached for Dewey as his blue-skinned crewman fell away from the door screaming. The blast had blown a hole through Dewey's shoulder, and the scent of his seared non-human flesh quickly filled the room. Jake didn't make it to him in time to break Dewey's fall. Crouching at the end of his sprint in an attempt to catch Dewey left Jake vulnerable as the two men Dewey had been holding back barreled through the opening door.

Jake winced at seeing the bottom of the door smack Dewey on top of his head, but Jake quickly turned his gaze upward, seeing the first man crossing the threshold extending a blaster. Jake, still with forward momentum, dropped even more and slid on his knees while swinging the crow bar upward. The tip of the steel bar struck the blaster and the man's trigger finger, shattering the man's finger bones and knocking the blaster into a side spin as the weapon shot.

The man joined in with Dewey, both of them wailing from pain.

Jake heard the blast impact something behind him on the other side of the room, but he didn't give a thought to what it was. Relieved his head remained on his shoulders, Taking advantage of the fact that the lead of the two assailants likely couldn't get another shot in anytime soon, Jake rose from his knees and slammed into the man who still blocked his partner from clearing the doorway. Jake, packing more muscle in his considerable frame than most men, overwhelmed his attacked, sending him backward into his thug partner.

Jake staggered, bracing himself against the hinged side of the open door. Dewey moaned, and Jake realized he'd pushed the door against his crewman's head again. "Sorry, Dew."

Seeing the two men on the ground before him scrambling to get up, Jake leapt forward, driving his knee down into the groin of the top man. Jake dropped his full weight as he landed on the man, hoping to transfer as much of the impact into the second man beneath him. As the top man's head lifted slightly in reaction to the evidently excruciating pain Jake had applied to his groin, Jake whipped the tail end of the crowbar across the man's temple, knocking him out.

As the top man's body went limp, the guy beneath him struggled to pull his own blaster from its holster. Jake stood by the time he got it out and, out from under his partner. Leaning his head to the side to see past his passed out partner pinning him down, the bottom thug thrust his blaster clear of the side of the other man's body and aimed it toward Jake. But Jake stomped on the man's wrist and the blaster dropped from his grip before the shot was taken.

"You okay, Dewey!" Jake knelt and snatched up the dropped blaster, and kept it sighted on the man while stepping back to quickly peer around the door to take a look at Dewey.

Dewey was holding a hand over the blast wound through his shoulder.
