PART FOUR

CHAPTER ONE

Maximus Parker. Max for short, is a forty-six year old half Caucasian half Asian man. He stands six foot four inches tall and weighs close to three hundred pounds. His body mass index is less than eighteen. There is literally no visible fat on him. Besides being built like a killing machine, Max is also highly trained in hand to hand combat, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Krav Maga and he holds a black belt in martial arts. He was an Army Ranger and he spent two years of his time in the service fighting in Operation Desert Storm. He was handed multiple accommodations for his service and bravery. Thankfully for the American public, Max chose to use his powers for good, rather than evil. He could have gone very far the other direction.

When he was five years old, he witnessed the murder of his mother. The trauma in that alone could have sent him careening over the edge into insanity. The fact that the murder took place literally at the hands of his father should have pushed him over. Instead, Max allowed the final image of his three hundred pound Caucasian father throwing his ninety-nine pound Asian mother with one hand like a rag doll through the wall of their apartment. Max found out later that at the moment she crashed through into the neighbor’s living room, she was still alive. She died sometime between then and when the police that Max himself had dialed from the neighbor’s house twenty minutes prior had arrived.

With that image firmly planted in his psyche still after he got out of the army, Max obtained a degree in psychology. He attended countless seminars on domestic violence; he took an entire years’ worth of women’s studies classes to learn how they think. He also took criminology classes to learn how the monster that killed her thought and then when he was thirty-two years old, he opened the doors to a self-defense and martial arts studio that had been twenty-seven years in the making.

When Chloe met him, he was forty-five and he had been teaching for thirteen years. He had been practicing for over thirty and no one— not one single person had a bad thing to say about Max.

Chloe started her classes almost immediately upon relocating. In her first class, Max talked about himself and his background. Once he’d told them where he came from, he told them what he thought were the most important things they would learn in his classes were. Chloe wrote them down. She took them home and posted them on a corkboard in her room. She read them in the morning and she read them again at night. Max said, “Your number one priority when it comes to being stalked or attacked by a predator is as follows: Avoid, Escape and Survive.” He’d gone on to say, “If avoidance is not an option then that is where self-defense training comes in. That training is not necessarily to kill or maim your predator.
