All of them laughed and started down the street. They knew that both Vangie as well as Z'Marl had some things they wanted to pick up. Thankfully the store wasn't that far but Billy was still puffing some when they arrived, "God this is driving me nuts. I am going to wait here and lean against the transport sign post and catch my breath."
Vangie and Z'Marl walked into the store and it only took a few minutes to pick up what they had ordered, "Sorry you had to hold on to them for so long. Most of us came down sick and this is the first day we have left the guild property." Vangie informed him.
The jeweler waved his hand at them, "Not a problem and don't worry about it. I just hope you like the job I did so I might have some more business with you." He took a minute to give everything a good polish before putting the necklace and bracelets in separate silken bags and handed them over.
They thanked the male and walked out. Billy was leaning against the pole with his good shoulder and the females were sitting on a bench. As they started to move out of the doorway there was some shouting and rapid movement through the crowd.
Billy was facing the wrong way to see what was happening and ended up getting hit but one of three students who had been running. Since his bad shoulder was in the way that was the part the male student hit and Billy went down like he had been poleaxed, "Oh fucking hell." He curled around the arm and was trying to both catch his breath and avoid barfing due to the pain.
Vangie turned and bellowed at the students, "Freeze you three and come here now." His voice was cold and hard as he yelled. When they turned around all they saw was a warrior with his hair starting to stand up. His ears were back and his tail was lashing back and forth. It was obvious he was furious.
They froze just long enough for him to bellow again, "Get your tailless asses over here now or you will regret it. Don't even consider trying to run away. I have your images and will find you." Vangie was snarling as he spoke.
Satasha was curled up as well since she had felt the impact and blazing pain from the contact. Z'Marl was trying to help her as Sally and Dani headed to their father to see if he was okay. If it was just pain that was one thing but if they had damaged the reconstruction that was totally different.
The three males slowly came over and they had their ears flat against their head and their tails were hanging, "How can we help you warrior?" The first one asked.
Vangie didn't hesitate when he grabbed a fist full of the boy's robes and jerked him close, "First off you know better than to run in a crowd like this and I don't give a fuck why you were. Second when you hit Commander Madlax, who also happens to be an Ambassador from Earth, you didn't stop to apologize. Third Commander Madlax just had reconstructive surgery on the shoulder you hit while running. If there is any damage to him, you are facing a trial since he and Lt. Commander Satasha are both telepaths. What you did was at the very least assault and might end up assault with grievous bodily injury." He was being abrupt and furious as he spoke. The snarl in his voice was clear.
The boy's ears flattened even further against his head. His pupils were dilated and it was obvious he was terrified of the warrior, "I am sorry warrior. We shouldn't have been running. Commander we apologize to you as well. How can we help you?"
Billy slowly stood up with the help of his girls and grabbed the pole with his good hand for support. His face was laced with obvious pain from being hit as well as fury, "You are going to walk back to the guild and you are going to report to whoever is in charge of you." He had to pause for breath, "You will not leave your rooms except for meals and training. When I have calmed down I will decide what punishment you deserve. Now get out of my sight-without running either." There was a command laden in his voice as he spoke.
