Frost dodged to the side and jumped over the reception desk to get a little space between him and his assailants. Then he ripped off his suit jacket and cracked his knuckles.
What the hell is happening right now?
Lyons gave Tanner some weird SWAT hand signal and the two of them sprang into action, executing a perfectly coordinated attack to take Frost to the ground.
Lyons straddled him and started punching him. Tanner got into position to stomp the shit out of him.
“Stop!” I yelled.
All three men stopped dead. Dr. Lyons’ fist was inches above Frost’s face. Frost already had a bloody lip, but the blow Dr. Lyons was about to deliver looked like it was gonna crack his skull in half.
“What are you doing?!” I yelled at Dr. Lyons.
“Saving you from the murderer,” he said. He cocked his fist again to deliver the finishing blow.
“Mr. Frost isn’t the murderer! It’s Tanner!”
“What?” asked Dr. Lyons.
“What?” agreed Tanner, feigning innocence like a freaking pro.
Fucking sociopath.
“He’s a serial killer!” I yelled, pointing wildly at Tanner. “He killed my sister, and now he’s coming for me.”
“I didn’t kill…” started Tanner as Dr. Lyons spun and punched him square in the nuts.
Tanner collapsed in a heap, his hand cupped to his hopefully-destroyed junk.
“Sorry about earlier,” said Lyons to Frost. He hopped off of him and offered him a hand. Frost took it and the two men approached Tanner.
They were a little too casual with their approach, though.
Because Tanner was apparently a Kungfu master. He simultaneously got to his feet and took both men down with a spinning kick.
“Ash, why the heck do you think I killed your sister?” Tanner asked.
“I’m not giving you my proof so you can just turn around and destroy it!”
“What proof? I swear I didn’t kill her.”
“You just made her your sex slave?” I asked. “You’re sick.”
“What? What are you talking about?”
“I know you were smashing her!”
Tanner looked so confused. “I didn’t even know Rosalie.”
“Bullshit.”
He took a step towards me, but my two knights in shining armor attacked him.
I could hardly keep up with the action as Tanner fought off the two men. I had no idea what kind of martial arts he was doing, but it didn’t even look like he was breaking a sweat. He was always two steps ahead of every move they threw at him.
Shit!I had to do something. It was a good thing I’d grabbed Chastity’s pepper spray earlier.
I pulled it out, aimed, and fired.
