CODE NAME: VAMP

CN:V.7 - Very Original

This was my attempt at Simon being badass. I hope I nailed it. In my defense, I am not a violent person i just like to think I am.

*************

Just as he expected, five minutes after they pulled out of the venue and were on the highway, a black SUV pulled up behind them. It was obviously following them and not bothering to hide.

Shit.

He swore under his breath and sped up. The SUV matched his speed.

He knew this was going to happen.

Ever since he had...done what he had done, he knew Jonathan would never forgive him and with their surprising meeting tonight, he knew the blond prick was gonna pull something.

"Hang on." He said to Jace, who was on his phone and seemingly oblivious to what was going on.

He made a turn down a dirt road that led into the woods and Jace looked at him quizzically.

"Is this where you kill me?" he asked, half serious.

The SUV turned and sped up till it was almost riding his bumper.

"They better not scratch my car." He growled. And then the SUV bumped them.

Hard.

Jace swore as he was thrown forward. "What the hell...?"

Simon growled.

If this what Jonathan wanted, then Simon was going to give it to him.

He snickered to himself at the play of words in his head.

Yeah, there was something wrong with him.

He pulled over sharply and suddenly that the SUV swerved and scraped the passenger side of his car.

"Give me a few minutes, babe." Simon said and he got out of the car, shutting the door on Jace's "Where are you...?"

Four men dressed in black poured out of the car and Simon sighed. This was probably going to take more than a few minutes.

"You boys are going to make me late." Simon drawled as he studied his opponents. "Not to mention you scratched my baby. What's this about?"

"Mr. Morgenstern sends his regards." One of them rasped.

Simon rolled his eyes. "Very original."

One of them pulled out a wicked looking blade and rushed at Simon. He stepped aside and grabbed the arm, twisting it so hard that the man dropped the blade with a cry.

He grunted as he was hit on his sides by the two other guys jumped him. He jabbed his left elbow sharply backwards and was rewarded with a crack and a groan. He held on to the third guy's head and brought his knees up as he pushed the guy's head down. The guy went down and Simon kicked him hard.

He looked up at the sound of his car door opening and froze at the sight of the fourth guy reaching in and yanking Jace out. Jace pulled away sharply with a scowl and then Simon was punched hard on his left jaw.

He cursed and slammed his fist down on the guy's jaw. Then he reached into his jacket and pulled out his gun.

Pointing it at the fourth man, he pulled the trigger.

***

Jace flinched as a gun went off and something wet hit is cheek. The guy in front of him stood still for a few seconds before crumpling to the ground.

Jace reached up to touch his cheek and his fingers came away wet and red. He grimaced and wiped his fingers on his jacket.

Gross.
