ooc: OMGAH they put the apartment board back up! 8DD *runs in circles* My characters can go home now. xD

The man involuntarily let his grip go on Midori's throat as her fist caught him on the jaw and he reeled to the side. He had definitely not been expecting that. He swore as he rubbed his jaw ruefully, then turned to her with eyes narrowed, enraged. "You've had it now, Miss." Without thinking he flung a hand at the side of her head. He didn't care whether he hit her or not, he was too angry to care, frightening her would be enough.

Max would probably be praising the heavens later on that he had been anticipating, or at least guessing, the man's next move, and managed to jerk his body to the side so that the man's knee struck his hip instead. He felt the grip on his arms tighten and continued trying to yank himself free. At the man's words Max glared up at him, an urge flaring up inside him to do something horrid to him, like tear him limb from limb or beat his repulsive face into something unrecognisable. "You do that and I'll kill you." he snarled, his voice lowered and carrying a threatening undertone, yet his stomach tied itself into a knot. Smart move, schmuck. If his conscience could bang its head against a brick wall, it would. But honestly he had no idea what to do, none of his plans were working, so he figured he'd just shout them out as they came into his head. Maybe he could've gone all movie-cliche and told Midori to run, then at least that'd let her off the hook. Alternatively, he could've turned into a wolf and gotten disposed of the three men ages ago. Or perhaps he ought to have mentioned that Midori was, you know, a cop? That would've been the simplest thing to do, but one tends to forget such things when in panic.
