There were still a bunch of armed thugs knocked out in the living room, and those two just decided to up and leave-to go have fun, no less.

He'd grown up learning to handle himself, and he could tell-the old man was something else.

Honestly, even if he and Axel teamed up, they'd stand no chance in a fair fight.

If Tarquin faced him alone, he wouldn't last ten moves before getting hurt. If things got serious, he wouldn't make it out alive.

Tarquin frowned, watching the direction the old man and Evan had disappeared, then finally let out a long breath.
