Lil had a frustrated and digusted expression aimed at Jin. But Jin didn't reply in kind, he looked at her with indifference which fired her up even more.
"I'll take Jin, you lot deal with the rest." Lil proclaimed proudly.
"Are you an idiot—"
"I'll do it." Zak was interrupted by Hiro volunteering to take on his father. "Obviously not alone, Kiro, please help me."
Kiro's face that was already hardened, his heart had already prepared yet another speech, all began to melt. He chuckled to himself and nodded, giving his friend a thumbs up of approval.
"Just the two of you won't be able to take on Jin, I'll help." Lil offered, she knew this Jin better than Hiro after all.
Hiro was very hesitant. Partly because he didn't want anyone fighting to kill his father, he'd asked Kiro for a reason, he was someone who understood him, someone who could indulge to his irrational demands.
He agreed, albeit sceptical.
"Don't worry about me, I don't use weapons." Lil rejected Kiro's offer of giving her one of their batons.
She crunched her hands together. "Today, we finish the match we never got to finish." She said, jumping from side to side like she wasn't a person like them.
"You know very well I would've broken your back in half." Jin mocked, unmoving from his initial position. His eyes were very sharp though, they were staring at Lil's movements like a predator playing with its prey.
Instead of fighting, Zak looked to Lil and Jin, then back to Lil again. He felt like a lost little animal looking for its mother. He'd never fought Jin himself, but Lil had before and she came out of it alive. An impressive feat.
Like a feral animal, Lil jumped up high attempting to reach Jin's face with her fists. She instead received a very nasty blow to the head.
He was surrounded but he managed to slip through, albeit hard. Felix at where James was and decided to take his place.
James ran towards Trent who was already hitting the buttons to the lift rather aggressively. Occasionally looking back to see if he needed to take a stand and fight.
James galloped like a horse running for its life. His heart rummaged within his rib cage, he wanted to stop this man no matter what, he had to pay for his wrongdoings.
The last thing he saw as the doors closed before he could reach was Trent smiling mockingly, and waving him goodbye. He managed to stop himself before he crashed into the lift doors.
"Dammit." He uttered, breathing heavily.
He heard footsteps behind him, he clearly wasn't the only one who was chasing, someone was also chasing him. His mood had suddenly grown sour from failing to apprehend Trent.
He turned sharply, his fist connecting with the jar of one of the prisoners. A loud crack sounded, the man who received the blow didn't see himself get up again.
James had been holding back, ensuring he didn't cause permanent damage on people who were also victims but something shifted within him, he didn't care anymore.
He combed his way to the front where Jin and the others were. The trail he left behind was a bloodied one, all those who knew him as just a cook were shocked to the core.
"Get behind me, I got this." He told Hiro and Kiro, he knew that the biggest fish was Jin, so he came to take him out.
Hiro had a panicked expression on his face, he didn't know how to react. Seeing James causing havoc, it wouldn't be a stretch that he would give his father a proper fight and he even had the chance to win.
"Don't, we can handle him." Kiro said, his voice pleading.
James didn't understand, but if he took everyone out, he vowed to come back here and there was little they could do to stop him.
As if Jin was angered by Kiro saying they could handle him. None of their attacks landed, but they were being pummelled by one guy. All four of them.
