“He’s my man, and you’re nothing but a rebound lay!” she stated. “You’ll get bored with him like I did, and you’ll dump his ass. He’ll come running back to me.”
She laughed, and it wasn’t a good sounding one either. It was sardonic, and a little angry.
All of Finn’s sisters were staring out the kitchen window to watch the showdown happen.
This was going to get interesting.
Gabby might be afraid of men, but she wasn’t afraid of women.
Not.
At.
All.
If it came down for fighting for Finn, she’d do it because he was a treasure. This woman’s loss was Gabby’s gain.
Stepping down, Gabby watched the woman step back to put space between them.
That’s when she told the woman off.
“What part of get the fuck away from my man didn’t you understand, you trollop?” she asked.
Rosie stood her ground.
“Where is he?”
When she went to push past her, Gabby shoved her back, so she wasn’t getting access to the house.
Not on her watch.
What Rosie didn’t think about was the fact that despite being a computer nerd, Gabby had to pass the same training as the field agents. She could handle a gun, and she could defend herself.
This woman was pushing her luck.
For Finn, she tried to de-escalate this so Rosie didn’t end up in the hospital, and she wasn’t arrested.
She pointed at the woman’s suitcases not far away, and the cat carrier.
“Get your things, and go home. You’re not welcome here, and I’m about to get very angry. No one likes me when I’m angry, Rosie.”
The woman wouldn’t back down.
“I’m not afraid of you,” she said.
Gabby shouted over her shoulder.
“Anyone have a scone? Or something bigger that I can shove into her piehole?”
When Rosie charged at her, Finn gasped, thinking his fiancée was going to get hurt. Instead, she sidestepped, caught her around the neck with her arm, and locked her down.
In a chokehold.
That’s when Gabby warned her one last time.
“Now, this is going one of two ways. You’re passing out when I apply pressure, or you’re getting your shit and leaving. He’s moved on, and every time you come here, I’m going to bewaiting for you. The next time, you’re leaving with your semi-attractive face bleeding. Don’t think I’m playing.”
Rosie got woozy from the headlock.
