CHAPTER SEVENTEEN

"Hey! Stop that!" Cami shouted out the words as loudly as she could, rushing forward. She was hoping that her shout might attract someone else who could come and help. The guy in the baseball cap already had the door open, and the woman was fighting with all her strength to get free from his grasp.

"Let me go! Let me go!" Her voice was shrill and panicked.

Alerted by Cami’s shout, the man turned to face her, without letting go of his platinum haired captive.

His face wasn't exactly like she remembered the ID photo, but it was difficult to tell under the shadow of the baseball cap’s brim, and also because he looked so angry.

His features were tense and hard with fury. She could see the way his hand, with strong, stubby fingers, was digging hard into the woman's arm.

"Get the hell away," he snarled to Cami. "This is a private matter."

"It's not private," Cami retorted, her outrage now winning over her fear, because this terrified woman needed her help, and she could not let him drag her out of the door. Drawing on reserves of courage she didn't even know she had, she continued. "You're abusing her. You're trying to take her away. Now let go!"

She should threaten to call the cops. But the guy might laugh at her, and in any case, she was the cops. If he wasn't taking her FBI jacket and hat seriously, then that threat wouldn't wash with him.

"You get away!" he shouted. He tugged the woman harder so that she almost stumbled and fell. She was trying to wrench her arm away, but it was clear his grip was like a vise.

Cami knew she was going to have to get involved. Actively involved.

Taking a deep breath and trying not to think how badly this could go wrong, she strode over and grabbed hold of the man's arm.

"Let her go!" she yelled, trying her best to twist his arm, to hurt him, to break it free from that iron grip. It was like grappling with a gnarly tree branch. Cami felt shocked by his power, and by how little effect her grasp had. Then, things got worse. He shifted his weight subtly, and the next moment, his foot lashed out at her.

It was only by pure luck that Cami shifted her feet to try to avoid being dragged sideways, and the kick he'd aimed glanced off her thigh instead of cracking right into her knee.

Even so, she gasped as pain flared. It was like being kicked by a horse! This guy was a brutal street fighter who was not holding back.

Somehow, determination overrode her fear, as she reminded herself that she could not let another woman be taken, to be killed in a terrible way. She raised her foot and tried the same, kicking him right back again.

And she got lucky, partly because the platinum blonde had chosen that moment to try to struggle against her captor, and he was distracted. He wasn't watching Cami, and her foot landed where it counted, and he gasped and staggered.
