When the blade hit the floor, the man became so much more less of a threat Jaxon easily overpowered hi stabbed He punched hiround, all the while looking possessed with a predatory kind of rage that hadup to the headboard of the bed, cradling my knees to my chest in horror as he continued to beat theall over the tiled floor, running down theoff Jaxon’s thick fist

Panting, Jaxon stopped for athe hair of theunder his hand "What did I tell you would happen to you if you stuck around town, you piece of shit? Not so strong on your o, are you, Brett?" Then he went at it again, kicking hi crunch His foot continued to coroans instantly wentto kill him!" I yelled suddenly This had hiotten I was there "My-my phone! You need to call the p-p-police" I pressedso badly

Still breathing heavily, Jaxon regarded the now unconsciousout his cell phone from his jeans pocket He dialled a number and pressed the phone to his ear "Manor Motel, roo up and placed the phone back into his pocket

Jaxon didn’t reply, but he shot a look at the wrestler man There appeared to be some kind of silent communication between them The man simply nodded in return at Jaxon’s expressionless face and, before I knew it, was hauling the man out of the roo," Jaxon told him before he shut the door

I hadn’t realized I’d been holdinguntil I felt pain in my chest When I finally breathed it out, it was as unsteady as my whole body I couldn’t tearabout the iven hi orders frouy, that wrestler ainst Jaxon if ever the need for it arose

He orking for hie Ever since I stepped back into Gosnells, I felt like I’d walked into a Twilight Zone, but this – what just happened right now – topped the strangeness to a whole new level A level that couldn’t be topped… or at least I hoped so anyway

"What’s going to happen to him?" I asked so quietly I wasn’t sure he heard me
