As soon as the thug dropped his guard, Bryan lunged forward to help the fallen staff member to his NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
feet. “You okay, man?”
“Bryan,” the employee gasped, “I’m sorry.”
Bryan shook his head. “Not your fault. Where did you get hit?”
The Blue Club had its share of tough guys. They were friends of Hughes who could handle themselves
in any brawl. But it also employed regular people who just worked there for a paycheck. Now, seeing
his crew roughed up like this, Hughes was seeing red.
His fists clenched tight. He told Bryan, “Get them to the hospital.”
“You sure you can handle this alone?” Bryan asked, with concern marking his features.
With a ned from Hughes, Bryan ushered the injured away, leaving without interference. Tthese goons
were here for Hughes, not the small fries.
Hughes sneered as two of his buddies took up positions beside him. “Hughes, these guys mean
business, looking for trouble on purpose.”
The leader of the opposing group stepped forward. “You’re Hughes?”
Hughes’ face turned to ice. “Seems I’ve unwittingly crossed someone. What’s this payback for?”
“It’s simple. You crossed the wrong people, and we’re just here to collect,” the thug snapped his fingers.
“Tear this place apart!”
Chaos erupted once more in the bar.
Hughes kicked out, sending a goon flying, and then grabbed a beer bottle, smashing it over another
attacker’s head. He was outnumbered but fighting fiercely. The leader, surprised by his strength, saw
his men faltering. But the numbers were against Hughes, and soon enough, he took some hits.
That was when Bryan returned, throwing himself into the fray. Hughes dodged a punch and hurled a
glass across the room. “What are you doing here, Bryan? Looking to get beat up?”
Bryan gritted his teeth. “I might not be the best fighter, but I can help!”
Hughes landed a punch that floored another thug. He walked over and punched some more. “I’ll show
you what happens when you mess with the Blue Club. You’ll be lucky to leave here breathing!”
The tide was turning against the attackers, and the leader was growing desperate. “Finish this and I’ll
treat you all,” he roared, but his voice betrayed his fear.
Bryan got pinned down by a couple of punks. Weak in combat, he crouched, covering his belly from the
kicks and punches. Hughes took down his opponent and leapt to kick away Bryan’s attackers, helping
him up. “Bro, cops are on their way. We’re outnumbered. We can’t hold them off.”
Suddenly, Bryan’s eyes widened in horror. “Hughes, watch out!”
He lunged to shield Hughes, just as a glint of steel spun through the air, but Hughes was quicker,
shoving Bryan aside.
The sickening sound of blade piercing flesh echoed through the turmoil.
Pain engulfed Hughes, and his face turned ghostly pale.
With eyes wide with shock and agony, he lashed out. He turned around and punched the man behind
him in the chin.
“Hughes!!” Bryan cried out in terror.
He reached out to steady Hughes, whose strength was quickly fading.
