“Ah!” The man cried out in pain, his vision blurring as he staggered back, the camera held high in his hand. He spun around once before collapsing face-first onto the ground in a pathetic heap.
It had all happened too fast. The rescuers had appeared like ghosts, giving them no time to react, no chance to even sense their approach.
Sebastian’s eyes were like chips of ice, his lips pressed into a thin, hard line as a murderous aura emanated from him. He bent down, snatched the camera from the man’s hand, and removed the memory card, handing it to Sean.
Seeing the card taken, the man panicked. Ignoring the pain, he scrambled to his feet to get it back, but another swift kick from Sebastian sent him sprawling again.
“You… mind your own damn business! Give that back!” he roared at Sebastian, his eyes burning with a terrifying, wild light.
A dark shadow fell over Sebastian’s face. “You ask for it.” He handed the camera to the police, who had just arrived and were rounding up the five men.
Sebastian turned to Sean. “Go with them. Find more evidence. I want these men to never see the light of day again.” His voice was calm, but anyone who knew him could see the storm raging beneath the surface.
Sean understood and left with the police.
But Natalie intervened. “Luna, you go with them. I don’t trust him.”
Her words struck Sebastian like a physical blow. He turned to face her just as Luna finished pulling Natalie’s torn clothing back into place.
