The guy bent over in pain and I finished him off with a hammer strike to the back of the head He fell on his face to the ground and didn’this hands together slowly, "dat was … oh man, dat was unreal! Dat was not real! Whoot!"

Kowi stood up slowly, keeping his hand on his upper thigh, which I kneas his way of trying to roin

"Dat’s not a proble across them

"Grab his aruys aroes nothing," I said, as I putit back to the front

A loud crunch and a fresh gush of blood told eneral direction; the loud screa from the kid told oing still I got up and rolled him over on his side so he couldn’t choke on his own blood

I walked down to the swaht not look pretty, but at least his nose won’t be sideways," I said, scrubbingthe blood dissolve away
