Without thinking, Matthew’s body launched forward, hurdling fallen objects. He scrambled forward on his hands and feet, bounding like a jaguar. He had gone into autopilot, his skeletal system taking orders from his instinct. He couldn’t explain how these things worked, but it was as if his senses didn’t bother to consult with his brain about what his body was about to do.

If he’d had time to think about the implications for what Pip was about to do, his mind would have become so overwhelmed that his body would have frozen in place.

Explaining to the others what had happened to Pip would be an absolute nightmare. Her brother would lose his last living relative. Jennifer would lose a best friend, and while Matthew hadn’t sorted out Pip’s relation to Sergio, he knew that Sergio would be gutted by her loss.

The others would have to come to terms with the fact that the powerful little fighter lost her life to a crazed lunatic who stabbed her with a dagger. Matthew would have to explain why Pip wasn’t paying attention to her surroundings. Even worse, he would have to explain why he didn’t do anything to save her.

As for Matthew, he would fall into a deeper depression, having lost yet another woman in his midst. He would certainly take full responsibility for her passing, and her last moments would haunt his memory. Yes, Pip’s passing would tear him apart. There would be no coming back from it.

These thoughts hit him all at once as he flew through the air, arms outstretched, as to take the full brunt of the attack. In his mind, he could take the pointed blade of the weapon better than Pip could. It was an absurd thought, and he had already gotten himself in trouble for doubting her hardiness, but he truly believed he would survive.

But the attack never came. He fell to the ground between the spot where he saw the woman and Pip. He rolled into Pip, pinning her feet to the ground. As his body turned, the force knocked Pip onto her backside on the sidewalk.

“What the hell, man?” she exclaimed. She opened her bag and checked the contents. Everything seemed to be in place.

Matthew ignored her. He saw the woman reappear from behind the door as she darted away. He jumped to his feet and grabbed onto her shoulder, spinning her around to face him.

“Oh,” he gasped as he got a good look at the trembling woman. She clutched the dagger in one hand but used the other to cradle the head of a baby tightly fastened to her chest.

Tears trickled out of the woman’s eyes as she faced Matthew. He immediately dropped her shoulder and took a step back, not knowing what to do. He was fully prepared to use force against the woman if she proved to be a threat. Now, there was no way he could hurt her, and he was horrified that he was seconds away from taking his baseball bat to her body.
