My Light, My Lux

Chapter Thirteen

"Tell me again why I can't just shoot his face off."

Jinx glares at the newcomer, who is violating the kitchen table with his presence, sitting clumsily across the two women, who are equally cross with the Demacian man.

But no, Jinx is a bit more cross. If this guy wants to harm her lovely girlfriend, Jinx will make him into a funny slice of cheese full of holes. Granted, she hasn't killed anyone all these years, but surely this could be an exception?

"Jinx, as much as I understand your frustration," Caitlyn chimes in with a sigh, "we have to keep this within diplomatic boundaries. However, our esteemed guest," she almost spits the words, "can surely understand that as a Sheriff I can be very influential and cause a lot of problems."

Of course Jinx hears the front door open quietly, but does not mention it, since the man seems to be growing impatient, and they could take all the advantage that they can.

"Then I assume that, as a Sheriff, you know how much diplomatic trouble you will be in if you don't surrender Luxanna to me?"

Then there is a tap on the man's shoulder. As soon as he turns around, a fist flies with precision into his nose, followed by an uppercut to the jaw. The man stumbles on the chair, but gets up shakily and remains on his feet, throwing his arms up to block the upcoming punches.

However, the punches never come, followed by a strong, precise kick to the crotch. With a loud exhale, the man collapses to his knees, then to the floor.

From behind Vi, who is glaring at the intruder with menace, glances out a very scared Lux, whose expression changes from scared to horrified as soon as she sees the man.

"Garen?"

"Do you know him?" Jinx immediately asks, glad that her girlfriend is okay. As for Vi's safety... Jinx isn't even worried, it's Vi after all. Of course she's okay. "This shithead was asking about you. Wanted to kidnap you back to Demacia. Wanna kill him together?"

"That 'shithead'," Lux provides as she sighs and rubs the bridge of her nose, "is my brother."

Jinx goes pale, just as Vi's face mimics hers. Oh fuck.
