Chapter 34

“Get off me!” Lucy screamed as Rachel shoved her forward, using her as a human shield. Her legs shook uncontrollably, tears streaming down her face.

The attacker advanced, knife raised. Lucy squeezed her eyes shut, waiting for the blade to strike

There was a flurry of movement. A gasp rippled through the room.

Lucy’s eyes snapped open. Thalia had somehow gotten between her and the attacker, engaging him directly.

“Stay back!” Thalia shouted to the others as she dodged the man’s wild slashes. But his blade caught her arm, blood immediately seeping through her white shirt.

“I’ll fucking kill you!” he lunged again, all reason gone from his eyes.

Thalia moved like she’d done this before. She caught his knife hand mid–strike and twisted hard. The crack of breaking bone was followed by his howl of pain.

The knife clattered away. “Get the blade?” Thalia ordered, and someone quickly kicked it across the floor.

Now disarmed, the attacker stood no chance. Thalia struck him with practiced precision–a series of punches followed by a kick that caught his head. Before he could recover, she threw him to the ground with surprising force.

The office stood in shocked silence.

on the floor.

“Oh God,” Lucy sobbed, still shaking. “I thought… I really thought…”

“He’s been taken care of,” Thalia said firmly.

Sarah leaned against a desk, visibly shaken. “Christ. In all my years…”

“Daniel–will he make it?” someone asked.

“He’d better.” Sarah said, but her voice trembled.
