The guy is small and puny, not what Rob expected. He's good-looking in an understated sort of way and has a vulnerable air about him. Rob can see how he might have manipulated Cassie's friends into believing he was the victim.

"Excuse me," Rob calls. The man turns and Rob holds up his police badge as he approaches.

"How can I help you, officer?" asks Cassie's tormentor politely.

After checking that there's no one else around, Rob grabs him by the collar and slams him against the wall.

"What the—" the puny runt splutters. "What the hell—"

"My name is Adam Reilly," says Rob clearly, enunciating every word. "If you ever so much look at or mention Cassie Maddox's name to anyone ever again, I will kill you—" He places his hands on the other man's throat for emphasis. "And I will make sure that your body is never found. Understand?"

He doesn't know if Legion recognises his name or not. Nevertheless, he looks terrified as Rob's hands close around his throat.

"Yes — yes, I understand," he chokes.

"Good." Rob steps back pleasantly, letting his hands fall to his sides. "Thanks for your cooperation. Mind how you go, now."

He watches the little runt run for his life and smiles for the first time in weeks.
