Isabelle went into Ratigan's lair with Thomas and Abigail in tow. He had information of a place they need to rob and they were here to pick it up. They heard a loud argument coming from in front of the barrel and quickened their pace. They then saw Ratigan violently arguing with a chestnut colored squirrel, which had about ten thugs behind him. They saw Ratigan's thugs behind their boss, looking a little nervous. They went to his side with Isabelle tapping Bill's shoulder.
"Bill, what's going on?" she whispered.
"That's Sir John Baldwin." he whispered back, "He's one of the boss's connections, mostly with jewels. He wants the boss to pay him more then he already is."
Isabelle raised her eyebrows, knowing Ratigan doesn't like to pay more for information or actually part with money anyway. She then saw Baldwin look at her with Thomas and Abigail and he laughed loudly.
"What's this, Ratigan?" he said, pointing to the girls, "You have women joining your gang now?"
The girls just glared at him, while Thomas moved closer to them; he didn't like the look on the squirrels face.
"They are not part of the discussion, Sir John." Ratigan said.
"Hmmm, then how about this" Baldwin said, "Put those girls in our arrangement."
Ratigan stiffened and he growled low, while the girls looked horrified.
"I will not!" he roared.
Suddenly, one of Baldwin's thugs reached over and grabbed Abigail's wrist and dragged her to them. She struggled out of her grip and slapped him. The thug growled and backhanded her across the face, sending her to the floor.
"Stupid bitch!" he yelled, making Baldwin's other thugs laugh raucously. Suddenly, there was a whistling noise and a knife went into the thug's chest. He looked at his chest, gurgles and then fell tot he floor. Everyone looked at Isabelle, whose arm was still poised from when she threw the knife. Baldwin snarled and yelled out;
"Kill her!"
That was when Isabelle sprang towards the group, with her cat claws on. The thief was all snarls and slashing speed, slitting their throats with her claws. One of the thugs got behind her with a club, but Thomas swiftly got behind him and stabbed him with a butcher knife; stabbing him so hard that he was nearly cut in half. He grabbed another thug, breaking his arm with a loud snap and slamming his head to the stone wall, denting it.
Everyone watched as the two made the carnage, too shocked to say anything or do anything. When they finished, covered in gore, they looked at Baldwin, who flinched and took a step back. Isabelle then looked at Ratigan with a cold glare.
"Do you need him?" she asked, making Ratigan look at Baldwin, who was giving him a pleading look.
"No, I do not." he said coldly.
Baldwin looked terrified and turned around to run, but Isabelle was faster. She sprang towards him, slamming her feet to his back, making him fall on his stomach. She then impaled his wrists with knives, pinning him to the floor. Thomas then walked slowly to him, placing his foot on Baldwin's head and pressing it. Baldwin screamed in pain, but Thomas ignored it as he pressed harder until there was a loud crack. Thomas and Isabelle then breathed out and looked at Ratigan, who was stone faced and Abigail, her face pale as Francis and Tony helped her up.
Isabelle sighed and was about to speak but Ratigan put his hand up, silencing her.
"You and Thomas go clean up. We will clean the mess you have made."
He said all this in a tight voice, which Isabelle silently nodded and her and Thomas went to the backroom with Abigail behind them. Ratigan then looked at the carnage they committed and sighed.
He pities the fool who tried to hurt the Cassidy Clan.
AN: Man, this is my most violent chapter yet!
So, here we have someone stupid enough to hurt one of the Cassidys and Isabelle and Thomas spring into action. I put in Isabelle's profile that when theses two fight together, it's usually a bloodbath. That's exactly what happens here and Ratigan is kind of shocked by it. He never saw them fight together, so it's pretty bad. He's a wee bit pissed at her here because of the violence, that why he acts kind of weird at the end.
If you are wondering what kind of knives Isabelle uses, it's the throwing knives like V in V for Vendetta. I like those knives.
Like I mentioned before, Thomas is strong. He could rip someone on half if he wants too. So, he could dent a stone wall.
Yes, I think Ratigan is very cheap!
Do not mess with the Cassidy Clan, they will hurt you.
Anyway, enjoy and comments are loved! I don't own GMD, just Isabelle, Thomas, Abigail and Baldwin.
