from behind me.
    “What?”
    “There is no fucking way that I’m staying here whilst you go take on Benton’s,” His rumbling voice said as he turned to face me.
    “What the fuck?” I asked.
    He pointed to the radio which was fastened to the rail of the guard post. That fucker David had given Chris a heads up.
    “Funny because I’m not giving you a fucking choice.”
    “Like fuck you are. The last time you headed out you didn’t even know where you were going.”
    “Well, its different this time isn’t it?”
    His face was starting to get red and he took two steps closer. “Marc there is no way on earth that I am letting you go by yourself. Even if that means I have to lock you up or break something.”
    “Okay, King fucking dick what do you mean by that?” I asked stepping up so I was about an inch from his chest.
    “I mean I’d break one of your fucking legs to keep you here. Then lock you in your fucking room.” His eyes glaring at me.
    Tessa coughed “Erm…boys, I think you should calm down.”
    Looking over my shoulder I said, “Tessa sorry to say this but mind your own fucking business.”
    That’s when I felt the blow like a hammer to my chest. Stumbling backwards I fell out of the guard post. Hitting the dirt, all the air whooshed out of my chest. I then saw Chris’ large frame jump out of the guard post. I quickly rolled to the side and he landed roughly where my chest would have been if I hadn’t moved. The fucker would have killed me. I clambered to my feet and launched myself at his back and hammered a punch to his kidney. His back arched up and I swung another punch to his kidney when he rolled forward and my punch sailed through the empty air.
    Next thing I saw was his boot flying toward my chest. This time I rolled, but I still felt the air move. The mud was sticking to my clothes and the rain was dripping into my eyes. Chris circled off to my right so I headed to the left.
    “You fucker!” I called out.
    He growled “You never talk to her like that!”
    He dove for me and I just managed to move to the side and as he went past I kicked out. I felt my foot connect with his stomach and he grunted before slamming into the floor.
    “Stop it!” Tessa said as she climbed down from the guard post.
    Chris just ignored her and threw a punch which caught me in the shoulder and spun me around till I fell down on the ground. He jumped on my chest and before I had a chance to move and launched a quick punch to my face. I have to say this about Chris when he hits you; you know that you’ve been hit. I had to admit with the cold rain hitting me in the face I didn’t black out. Chris aimed another punch at my face and I managed to block it with the point of my elbow. He cried out as his fist collided with the bone. My arm went numb all the way to the fingers and I was sure that I heard bones snap. Now if they were mine or his I couldn’t tell.
    I rolled to the right and managed to toss him off my chest. He hit the ground and rolled, before jumping to his feet. I lashed out with my leg and swept his feet out from under him. As he fell he reached out. His hand hit the ground and there was a crack like a gunshot and his face went pale. He fell over onto his side and rocked from side to side whilst holding his arm. I was huffing in the air as quickly as my lungs could. Tessa ran over to where Chris was holding his arm.
    “You’ve broken his arm!” She shouted.
    My arm was still feeling numb and I thought he’s fucking broken mine as well. I struggled to get up off the ground with one arm and hobbled over to where he was lay. One of my eyes was starting to close and that side of my face hurt every time I moved my jaw.
    “I think he fell onto the arm that just finished healing.”
    “Well, that really does stop him from going now. Doesn’t it?” Tessa said looking at me with malice.
    I was shocked “What the fuck woman? I thought you would have been happy for him not to go?”
    Out the corner
