Chapter 38

“Stay out of this,” the butch growled at Cam. “It’s none of your business.”

“I’m making it my business. I thought I heard her tell you to go away.” Cam took a menacing step forward. “Which word didn’t you understand, go or away?”

When the butch tried to push past her to talk to Sonya, Cam tried again. “Don’t you understand English?” Cam asked threateningly, “She said go away, ?salga!, andare via, parta!, allez vous-en!What other language would you like it in? Or do you need to be shownwhat it means?”

Cam was slightly shorter but was clearly more than a match. The woman scowled as the color of her anger rose in her face.

Finally, with a loud huff, she turned on her heel and stalked away.

Sonya let out a sigh of relief as she watched her go. “Thank you,” she whispered.

“Persistent, isn’t she?” Cam mumbled as the woman disappeared into the crowd. The other customers who’d been watching the whole scene began to relax and go back to talking with their friends. The crisis was over.
