stride, headed towards the sound of the confrontation. He found the two back in the study, Kara crouched on the ground weeping and Jeff standing over her shouting obscenities.
“I don’t know who you are, but you will leave this house immediately.” Hayes voice was cold, powerful and commanding.
Jeff turned away from Kara, his eyes wild. Michelle could smell the stench of stale beer from where she stood. “Well, well, who is this, you little bitch? Are you already banging someone new?” The drunken man looked Hayes up and down. “Who the hell do you think you are, Jerk Off?”
“I’m Michelle’s man, and you're leaving.” Hayes stood squarely across from the drunk.
“Like hell I am, pretty boy,” Jeff lashed out, his fist flying towards Hayes’ jaw.
Like the hero of a martial arts movie, Hayes smoothly side stepped the attack, grabbed Jeff’s arm, and swung the man around. He quickly bent the offending arm behind his attacker, effectively incapacitating him in one fluid motion. Then he forced marched the drunk out of the room, down the hallway and out the front door. The women watched the scene in amazement.
“Holy crap, Shell. Did you see that?” Kara stared at her friend wide eyed. “You’re dating Batman!”
CHAPTER EIGHT
Michelle sat down on the floor next to Kara, and looked at her friend. Her right eye was bruised and would soon blacken. Michelle gingerly touched her friend’s face. She could hear the wail of a police siren approaching from down the street.
“My God, Kara, are you okay? Did Jeff punch you?” Michelle asked.
Kara nodded shakily. “I’m fine, I think. At first he didn’t do anything but throw my belongings all over the lawn. When I opened the door to figure out what his problem was, he came crashing in here screaming his drunken head off. I tried to get away from in here, but I couldn’t get the door locked fast enough. The next thing I knew, his fist was flying towards me and I was on the ground. I was terrified; I’ve never seen him like that. I’m glad you two came home when you did.”
“I am too. I think Mrs. Turner called the police.”
“I’m sure she did. I saw her poke her head out the front door when Jeff pulled up. He barreled out of his truck, then just started screaming and throwing my stuff. He’s out of his damned mind.”
“Are you sure you’re okay, Kara? You look pretty shaken up.” Michelle gently pushed her friend’s streaming black hair away from her face.
“I’m… no, I’m not okay.” With that, the usually effervescent young woman threw her arms around her best friend and began to sob.
Michelle held Kara close, rocking her like a small child. A few minutes later a shadow on the floor made her look up. Hayes stood in the study doorway, a blue uniformed female police officer just behind him.
“Michelle, Officer Gonzalez would like to get Kara’s statement. They’ve already arrested Jeff, and are going to impound his truck.”
Michelle turned back to her friend. “Are you okay to talk to the officer? I can get you an ice pack for your eye.” Kara sniffled and nodded her head. Michelle gently released her friend and retreated out of the room, to allow Kara some privacy with the officer.
“How is she?” Hayes inquired quietly as Michelle headed to the kitchen.
“He punched her in the face. I think she’s more scared and shaken up than anything. Neither one of us has ever had to deal with domestic violence before.” Michelle opened the freezer door and pulled a
