Her face turns white. It’s like her whole body freezes.
What the fuck?
I’m getting to my feet, and I see Asa and Hugo move also.
I twist around to see what she’s looking at. She’s looking at the douche.
He lowers his sunglasses.
“Why hello, Frenz…” he says.
Friends? What does that mean?
“Sweetheart?” says Asa, moving toward her.
Fuck, she is freaking! It’s like the world has gone into slow-mo, as I see her stumble then crash to the floor. Hugo and Asa kneel beside her, but I turn my head and turn my focus on the asshole freaking her out.
Hulk Smash.
He is grinning, pleased with himself. It makes me want to punch him. In fact, that’s a good idea. In two strides I am in front of him, make a fist and slam it into his jaw.
The little pussy falls flat. I bend down and grab him by the ridiculous shirt he is wearing.
“What did you do to her,” I snarl.
Then not waiting for an answer, I pull my fist back again. I’m going to flatten this asshole. I don’t know what he has done, but it has to be bad.
But then Harry is clutching at arm, “What the fuck is going on? Don’t hit this clown. He’s Clash Tower’s son.”
Twist.
I don’t care whose son he is though. I just want to make sure the smile is wiped off his face. And mission accomplished. The little turd looks like he is about to shit himself.
I let go of Screech’s shirt, and he drops back onto the floor.
“Get him out of here, Harry,” I shout. “Out of here and off the property. Now!”
“I'll press charges,” the asshole squeaks. That just makes me rear up again. I’m about to swing when Harry tells Screech to shut the fuck up, and pulls him by the arm out of the studio.
The instant he is gone, I join the others next to our baby.
“Baby, he’s gone. Harry’s taking him away. Completely gone. It’s all right.”
She is trembling. Hugo is rubbing her hands, and Asa has her cuddled into his massive bear body.
“Did she say what's up?” I asked Hugo.
“She hasn’t said a word,” he replies.
“I think she’s in shock,” puts in Asa.
“Let’s get her in the house, out of here.”
???
Harmony is under a comforter on the sofa.
We made her tea (Asa’s idea), gave her a brandy (Hugo’s brilliant plan) and offered her some valium (my solution, she didn’t take any).
