Evil Rises
Page 6
While the bat stayed in the air, Noah and the tough exchanged kicks to butts and thighs.
Meanwhile, the other hooligan pulled his knife out of the tire. He launched the blade at Noah.
Noah twisted his body and the knife lodged into the side of the bat-holding thug.
“Ow!” screamed the goon as he released the bat and buckled.
Noah elbowed his opponent in the head and it was lights out for him. He stomped toward the other goon but he’d had enough. He turned and ran back into the darkness behind a building.
Noah walked over to Rajiv.
“You do this all the time?” shivered the cab driver.
“That was easy. They were just young punks,” shrugged Noah.
“Punks?” Rajiv thought a moment, then handed Noah a business card. “Call me anytime. I drive you anywhere.”
