“I burned it all,
cleansing my family of you Shane,
stay away or next time if will be much much worse than having your crappy car
stolen and your face slapped in.”  He
went to turn and slammed right into Sam.  The tomboy was steadfast, she didn’t
move.  Sam
looked at him with a cold stare, having heard every word.  A viciousness covered her like a cloak.

            “Ever fucked with a
Doctor?”  Sam
asked her voice harsh and calculated.  He
narrowed his eyes, not knowing who she was. 
One of Shane‘s ***** friends he was sure.

            “Who the ***** are
you?”  Sam
didn’t answer, instead her hand shot up and grabbed his windpipe, and squeezed,
just enough for him to realize how serious she was.  She used her hips to slam him into the bar
and her knee shot up and hit him in the groin, Steven
doubled over, but Sam held him up by the
throat.  A hard look from her and he
stopped struggling, convinced that she could kill him.

            “Doctors are fun, see
we know how everything works.  How you
need the windpipe to carry oxygen to your lungs, to feed that pea sized brain
of yours.  How to put everything back
together again, but that means we know how to take it apart too.  My role model is Doctor Frankenstein.”  Marina
had rushed over, begging with her eyes for Sam
to stop whatever this was.  The young
doctor seemed to have quite the temper.

            “You come anywhere
near Shane  “And I won’t hurt you; I’ll
slowly torture your family that you say you cherish so, while you watch.  I see you anywhere near me, or anyone Shane
knows and I’ll ruin your family and your business, then I’ll do the Inquisition
thing, are we clear?”  Steven
shook, meeting Sam‘s icy stare. again…” She stopped,
pulling him close to her, her lips at his ear so that no one heard what she was
whispering.

            “Yes.”  He whined, not able to take in breath.

            “Good, crystal
clear?  You have to the count of three to
be out of my sight.  Forever.”  She released her grip on his throat and he
stumbled, rushing from the caf.

            “Are you insane, this
is my place of business Sam!”  Marina
berated her, not knowing what was going on, not caring.  All she cared was that Shane
was all right, and wasn’t to upset by what that jerk had just told her.
