Carmen: Hey, you.

Carmen looked at Shane funny wondering if the girl was mentally retarded or something but still made her way carefully over to Shane. She placed a hand on her shoulder and turned

her around. Bobby’s blow had left Shane with a cut over her eye. Carmen took out a hankerchief and dabbed at the cut. Shane winced a bit. She placed her hand instinctively over

Carmen’s. Their eyes met again. Carmen felt her heart beat faster. Her cheeks flushed. She never was like this. What was wrong today? Shane was also having a hard time keeping a

smile off her face. Carmen pulled her hand away.

Carmen: Thanks, for… for helping me.

Shane: No problem.

Shane turned to leave again.

Carmen: Wait. Come with me will you?

Shane looked over her shoulder at the blushing Carmen.

Shane: Why?

Carmen: If you leave that gash on your head like that, it’ll get infected.

Carmen knew down inside she wanted to get to know the lanky girl as much as possible.

Shane: Do you randomly pick up girls like this?

Carmen frowned. She turned and walked in the direction of her car. Shane followed behind her. She was skipping inside thinking about how smart she was skipping the ass beating.

She sulked walking slowly to play her role of the unwilling hero. Carmen kept looking back secretly seeing if Shane followed. She had seen many guys try to impress her like that,

but Shane, she was different. There was something about her that Carmen liked. The raw power she exhibited made Carmen anxious.

Carmen’s bodyguards finally saw their mistress. And they also saw Shane following her like a pervert. Though no one can really blame them since Shane looked one without trying.

The two men ran up behind Shane and caught her in a choke hold. The other punched Shane in the stomach. Carmen heard the commotion behind her and turned to see the two beating up

on Shane.

Carmen: Get the fuck off of her!

She pulled them off to find Shane crumpled on the ground. Carmen glared at them. She was actually kind of happy, now she’d have even more of a reason to take care of the girl.
