Finally, I let him lift me to my feet but not before I shot out one last kick at Terry as he rolled over,with his lower back at the side where his kidneys were He’d be thinking of me every time he took a piss for the next few days because of that

I shfroh ly that I was fine and in control of er was clearly directed at Terry as he glared at hiet this show on the road, or what?" I asked, choosing to ignore the past few ot it done, the quicker I could go hoet to his feet

Ray sighed and nodded, turning back to ed, of course I was okay, I was always okay "Yep Where’saround for the details of the boost tonight Ray nodded over towards the brown envelope on the desk As I headed over to get it soainst the hot little red sports car

"No! Careful of the car!" Ray screah like I wanted to; Terry was obviously back for ainst the car so I threw runted, his hold onhihtened as I turned and looked at hiuy

His eyes flicked down to the floor off to aze and saw the handle of the knife on the floor just under the car about three feet away from me I looked back at hio that far but if he caain I wouldn’t be lenient Before I could open e him, he dived for the knife, his eyes a little crazy

I stepped to the side and as his hand closed around it, I raised my foot and sta crack of his fingers breaking just a split second before he let out an involuntary screa his elbow and looked at rily

His eyes told hed as I raisedhione quiet now; the only sounds were the ragged breathing of Terry as I stalked forwards towards hi to hit hi Rayone of his babies; the guy had a mad obsession with cars

I looked down at Terry as painfully scooting backwards, trying to move away from me I smiled wickedly "Did you know that if you break the bones in your hand enough tiain?" I asked, keeping ht and friendly He didn’t answer, he just sneered ateyes "So, for example, when I slam this car door on your hand repeatedly, you’ll probably never be able to wipe your own ass with that hand again," I continued

"Kid, don’t…" I heard Ray say behind me

I raised one eyebrow at Terry "I did say that if you pulled a knife on ain that I’d kill you with it, but this tux is rented, if I get blood on it I won’t getmy free hand down at ulping loudly

I s it quickly towards the opening of the car door

He started pleading then as he tried to wrench his hand fro but I pinned his body doith my knees as I sed, shaking his head fiercely, his eyes pleading now, adit inward Terry’s deafening, high-pitched screa towards his hand that I was pinning against the metal where it would connect in less than a second or two

I stopped it just a couple of inches before it made contact with his hand I looked down at hi there with his eyes squeezed shut, the screahed and shook ht before adown at hi as he looked first at me, then at his hand that was untouched by the door "Are we done?" I asked, raising one eyebrow at hih with the plan if he was still insisting on trying to prove hi to be necessary

He took a couple of ragged breaths before he nodded "Done," he agreed

I smiled and offered my hand to help him up He looked at it hesitantly for a few seconds before putting his good hand inas I pulled him to his feet "Just so you know, next tihis eyes so he’d knoas serious

He shook his head "No next time"

I smiled and someone applauded from behind me "Bravo, bravo, what an aweso on a fake smile "But now I’m down one team oing to hold you personally responsible, Kid"
