Chapter 6
The person moved with purpose through the bus terminal, taking everything in at once. Their stance and bearing screamed military and danger. Their eyes and face set into an unfriendly disposition. They paused for a moment and turned to the west and their pace quicken.
It wasn't until they turned the corner and saw their reason, but it looked they would be almost too late. The person's jaw clenched tightly as they walked up to the male that was bent over Autumn in the process of undressing her.
The person grabbed the back of their shirt and yanked the man off of her. The other man stumbled and turned to look. "What the hell, man!"
The man came to the other one with a swing. The other male who came to the rescue sidestepped and grabbed the man's swinging arm and twisted it around to his back hard, the male let out a blood-curdling scream. "Didn't your mum teach to respect a lady. Consider yourself lucky that is only one bone out of two hundred-six. Now beat it."
The male with the broken arm took off running. The male scanned the area with an icy chill, daring anyone to say anything. The small number of people that looked on quickly looked away. He turned his gaze back now to the young girl who stared at him with wide and frightened eyes. Her body trembling, heart pounding. That he could hear a mile away.
"You shouldn't have fallen asleep." His deep, rich baritone voice with a southern drawl covered the stillness between. He watched as she swallowed nervously, her breathing was slightly uneven as she spoke, "Who are you?"
