He jumped around the table and grabbed Hector by the throat with his cast arm, and began punching him furiously with his other hand. After a few hits Ramon seemed to have come out of his trance of shock and tried to pull Jack off Hector. He wasn't too angry at Jack, not as much as he was at Hector. Ramon struggled to pull him off and the three men fell onto the ground.
The fight continued between Hector and Jack, as the two rolled about on the ground trying to kill each other. Hector landed a few hits on Jack, but it was nothing compared to the damage Jack was causing Hector.
The remaining men over on the other table realised what was happening and ran over. They all began to grab Jack, pulling him away. They knew that Jack and Hector were both high on the priority list, but Hector was considered far more important to them. They finally got Jack off the bleeding Hector and all three men struggled to hold him back.
Jack tried to clam himself down, realising that he had just made a big mistake. Would it be his last? He looked out of the corned of his rage filled eyes and saw Claudia laid unconscious on the ground. Pulling himself from his thoughts was Hectors voice filled to, with rage.
"What the f are you doing!" he screamed in Jack's face as the three men still struggled to hold him back.
"I'm paid to protect the Salazar family, that includes her!" He yelled back.
Jack watched as Hector looked even more angrier, he wouldn't have thought it possible. He was wondering where Ramon was, he would help him here. He sneaked another glance and saw he was leaning over Claudia, trying to wake her. Jack was pulling against the arms holding him back as he prayed that Ramon would turn his attention back to them, 'he can stop this.'
Those were Jack's thoughts as the bottle smashed down against his head, the force of it pulled him down to the floor. He didn't see it coming but sure felt the pain and the blood pouring down his face. He laid on the ground still as the men backed away from him, certain he wouldn't get back up. He closed his eyes as he felt the shards of glass sticking out of his head. Everything he could hear was a blur, and he could see nothing. When he opened his eyes all he got was red, so he kept them closed.
He herd Hector shout, "Your job was to protect me Jack, not her!" Hector was saying more but it wasn't to him, he was giving the men orders. Jack didn't understand them at first, but felt them as the three started to join in with Hector as they beat him. It seemed that this had finally got Ramon's attention as he started yelling at Hector, trying to get the three men, and Hector to stop hitting Jack.
Jack was out pretty soon after this, but the one sided fight continued on. Finally Ramon managed to stop it, after firing shots into the air. He ordered the three men away, and looked disgusted at Hector.
The two were stood on the ground, to one side of them laid Claudia, and a foot away on the other side was what was left of Jack. He was sprawled out on his stomach and all Ramon was seeing was the blood that surrounded him. He looked to Hector and saw their was a fair amount of damage on him too.
"I called an ambulance." He said softly. "Pedro has sorted it out for us, they will fix them here then leave, they wont ask questions."
Hector nodded as he began to calm down. "I didn't mean to hit her."
"I know." He waited a beat. "But Jack was right, he is paid to protect us all, he did the right thing."
Hector held his head down, he was disappointed that he had let his rage take it so far. He and Jack were best friends, Jack was a brother to him. But still, he thought, nobody ever hurts him, brother or not, he felt that Jack got what he deserved, his actions didn't show Hector respect, so he would learn.
"Is he alive?" He asked, a little concerned.
"I got a pulse, but... he doesn't look very good does he?" Ramon said. Both men were confused about how they were supposed to feel. Jack was a brother, a trusted friend. They did not know if they should they be angry with him, or happy that he did what was asked of him. It was clear that one thought one reason and the other one thought the other.
"What are we going to do?" Hector asked., wondering how they were going to proceed with Jack.
"Ill speak with him once we know which path were going down. If we buy this thing, we will need him. But I don't know if he is going to want to stay, we've both hurt him pretty bad in the space of a week, and for nothing really. I understand he has hurt you Hector, but he had a reason to. If he hadn't I would have. So lets just see what happens first."
