Chapter 3

Cam turned as she heard running behind her. It was Ralphie and two other men she’d seen in the bar. Talia was right behind them.

“That’s them!” she pointed to the two men on the ground. “They were going to rape me!”

Cam stepped back as the other two men pushed past to grab the two thugs.

“You all right?” Ralphie was at Cam’s shoulder.

She flexed and stretched her hand. “I’m okay.” she said.

He took her hand gently to hold it out to the light. “You need some ice on this,” he said as he turned toward his two friends. “Bring those two pieces of scum inside,” he ordered, gesturing with his lips to the two men who both held appropriate parts of their bodies trying to stop the pain. “Come on. I’ll get you some ice.” He started to lead Cam and Talia back into the bar.

“Wait. I can’t just leave my bike sitting here.” Cam stopped.
