Daddies Little Survivor
...Seven Years Ago...
Locking the front door to The Cage, Beau shivered as
cold, crisp air blew against his exposed skin. Snow was in
the forecast and since it was nearly ten o’clock at night, the
temperatures were barely in the low thirties. He pulled the
front of his leather jacket closed and moved toward his truck
as quickly as he could, wanting to escape the frigid weather.
He was also beyond exhausted and just wanted to go home
to sleep.
After buying the gym from his dad, Beau had been
putting in extra-long hours to renovate the inside of the gym
and update all the equipment. Not that there had been
anything wrong with the way his Pop had it, but Pop had
encouraged Beau to make The Cage his own, so he had
been painting the walls, installing new workout equipment,
and building new fighting cages.
Pulling his keys from his pocket, he hit the unlock
button on the fob and was reaching for the door handle
when he heard a woman screaming.
“Help me! Help!”
Looking around, he tried to figure out which direction
the voice was coming from. Furrowing his brows, he jogged
to the edge of the parking lot when he heard the woman
scream again.
“Help! Rape! Help!”
Looking to his left, Beau realized the voice was
coming from that direction, so he took off running. Every
nerve in his body was screaming at him to move faster and
find the woman. His brain was terrified of what he might find
but he was also seeing red as his rage rose to the surface.
“Help!”
The pleading voice made his blood run cold, but he
knew he was getting closer as her pleas were getting louder.
Rounding a corner, he heard the woman scream again, and
when he looked to his right, he could see movement down
an alleyway. He ran as fast as he could until he got closer to
the people who were scuffling.
“Help me! Please, help me!” she screamed.
“Hey! Let her go!” Beau roared.
The attacker froze briefly, but Beau could see the
man’s hand around her throat in a tight grip. The woman
that had been screaming was definitely not a woman, but a
teenager. Even though the alley was dark, there was a glow
of a nearby streetlamp illuminating them, and he could see
the terror etched on her face. He could also see her shirt
was ripped open.
Beau ran directly up to the attacker and jumped on
his back, pulling the man away from her. Both of them
landed on the ground with a painful thud, but within
seconds, they were back on their feet. Little did the man
know, Beau was a trained fighter, and this man wouldn’t
stand a chance in a fistfight with him. Pulling his arm back,
he swung forward, hitting the man in the jaw, and then with
his other arm, punched him in the throat.
The man stumbled back but kept his balance, and the
look in his eyes was pure evil. Suddenly he sprang forward,
and before Beau could react, he felt a burning pain low in
his abdomen. Looking down, Beau saw the blade of the
man’s knife being pulled from his body and then the man
pulled his hand back, ready to stab again.
As his hand came forward with the knife, Beau
charged toward him, punching him in the eye. Another
source of burning pain, this time in his thigh, had him
growling in both pain and rage. One of them were going to
die in this battle, and it wasn’t going to be him.
