Chapter 78

I ignored the shooting pain in my knuckles as I landed another punch on Emily's attacker's face. I couldn't ignore the bruise I saw on Emily's face last night. When I looked at her face before leaving this morning, it was already getting darker. That was enough to make me f "Julian, we kind of need him alive since we want him to talk."
