Chapter forty- five

Laufey started to laugh at them then, his defensive stance slipping as he made an overdramatic show of himself.

Abe looked down to her, and whispered, "Are you alright?"

She nodded, taking Laufeys complete distraction as a chance to whisper something into Abes ear.

"Absolutely..." he said. He stood straight, his stance a natural fighters one now and Laufey quietened himself, though he was still amused at the situation.

"What now fish, are you going to swim me to death?"

"I wouldn't say that..." Abe remarked, taking a sudden dive towards the man that set him reeling off balance. While Laufey stumbled to the side, Abe twisted his body around and caught the back of the mans knees with a rough back-kick that knocked him to the floor. Stunned, Laufey reached for the mans ankles to trip him, but Abe was fast and with a low punch to the face Laufey was thrown flat to the ground again, clutching at his face.

She moved forward now, knowing that it was at this moment or never that they could carry out their plan. She threw herself at the fallen enemy, her pregnant body not stopping her from grabbing his scarf in one tight fist while her other hand found the skin of his throat underneath it, gripping him there.

She could feel her nails tearing into his skin with her anger, and see the look of surprise in his eyes as she shouted the word "Pléascadh!"

He was thrown from under her grip in an explosion that centred from her hand, and lay clutching at his throat amid gargled gasps of pain.

"You'll have to fight fair with me now, man to man. Now that you can't speak your spells aloud," Abe said, leaping into the air before smashing his foot down with a mean kick to the man's ribs.

Rage filled his eyes as he rolled to the side, though without his voice he was no match for the amphibian mans agility and speed. Each time he attempted to grab him or attack, he was thrown back down with another vicious counter-attack.

By now the alarms were sounding, and BP agents were filling up the space around them. Red and Liz joined the fray, her hands ablaze and ready to fight while he cocked the Samaritan and pointed it down into the onlooking stare of the defeated warlock.

His throat was already beginning to heal, and it didn't take long for BP agents to swathe him in restraints and confine him with a thick, leather gag that stopped any words from passing his lips.

Rage filled his eyes as he stared at her. She smiled and reached her arm around Abes waist as he reached down to hold her closer. "I told you..." he said, giving her a squeeze, "I will never let him hurt you, not for as long as I breathe."
