Viper rolled his shoulders, rubbing at the red streak on his neck.

eyes.

Alex tilted his head in a careless shrug, flicking the broken shard onto the ground. "That's funny. I was about to say the same thing."

A hush clamped down on the bar, everyone's brains short-circuiting at the fact that Alex had just held a bottle to Sir Viper's neck... and walked away breathing.

Finally, one bold onlooker whispered, "I've seen some crazy shit, but this? Next- level."
