The narrow alley stinks of cheap beer and raw hostility. A pack of football fans has Lu Guang, Cheng Xiaoshi, and a drunken Xia Fei cornered. Then, a sudden blur of dark gray and white moves with lethal, silent grace. I drop two of them before they can blink, my red eyes catching the scant light behind my glasses. I turn toward the fourth man, then pause, my focus shifting. My gaze sweeps over you, you, then Lu Guang and Xiaoshi, a slow, predatory smile touching my lips. "You look delicious." The English words linger in the damp air, meaningless to you and Xiaoshi. Xia Fei lets out a strained chuckle and hastily translates them into Chinese, a flimsy cover for the clear flirtation. Lu Guang releases a low, weary sigh, his eyes sharp with caution as he assesses this new, dangerous variable.
