“Walk along the beach?” he offered.

“Yes, that sounds perfect.” She could walk hand-in-hand with him all night long.

Within a few minutes, they were on the sand, finally escaping the glaring lights of the city.

Their pace was slow and comfortable.

“How long have you lived in Southern California?” she asked.

Before he could answer, someone yelled, “Hey!”

Half a dozen men came toward them, outlined by the lights behind them and even though Daisy couldn’t see them, she knew it was the huge drunk guy from the bar and his buddies.

Cannon stepped in front of her. “Keep walking,” he told the guys. “Nothing to see here.” His voice was soothing and convincing.

“There is something to see here,” said the leader. “Me kicking your butt.”

The guys were only about ten feet away. A couple of them were carrying bottles of beer.

Cannon said, “I don’t want any trouble. You tell me which way you’re going and we’ll go the other direction.”

Daisy considered pulling out her cell phone and calling the police but Cannon was so calm and confident, she just felt like he had this under control. He’d talk their way out of this, the peacemaker that he was.

The big guy came right up into Cannon’s face. “You think you’re all tough? You probably aren’t even a SEAL. Let’s see your proof.” The rest of the group formed a half-circle around them.

“I never said I was a SEAL,” said Cannon. “Now if you’ll excuse us,” he started to lead Daisy out of trap the men had formed, but the big guy shoved him. Cannon wasn’t even knocked off balance.

“You’re not excused,” the big guy said, bringing a round of laughter from his buddies.

“I don’t want a fight,” said Cannon, facing them but trying to back away with Daisy in a safe position behind him.

“Of course you don’t,” said the big guy. “Cause you’re gonna lose.” He pointed with both hands, and his friends spread the circle out wider, cutting off almost all directions of escape.

Cannon was rigid and poised, she could feel him tensing like a snake preparing to strike. He was calm but threatening as he said, “Listen, friend. This is the last time I’m going to say this. Walk away. Don’t say another word. Just turn around unless you want to get hurt.” There was no more negotiator, just a soldier giving orders. Moving backwards and to the side, he stayed between Daisy and the men as he guided her away.

The big guy said, “Fine you go. We’ll just keep your woman here with us and—”

From five feet away, Cannon shined a flood light right in the man’s face, and when the guy lifted an arm to block his eyes, Cannon was there, shoving the flashlight into the guy’s neck. It crackled with electricity. The guy shook and fell to the ground. Cannon dropped the flashlight and it ended pointing up at him like a spotlight. The knuckle device was on one hand, but he had a short rod in the other. With a flick, he extended it to about three feet, and jabbed another guy in the gut.
