Not long after Joe had slipped out through the back door, there was a sudden, violent crash.
BOOM.
A massive fist punched straight through Gabriel's front door, splintering a hole through it.
Gabriel and his wife screamed. She immediately pulled their daughter behind her, shielding the girl with her body as they backed toward the far corner of the living room.
The large fist withdrew slightly, and through the hole it had created, his fingers reached in, found the lock, twisted it open, and shoved the door wide.
Standing in the doorway was Garrick Harrow "The Bull"
The was enormous broad-shouldered gang leader that had been chasing Joe all night.
His arms were like tree trunks and a frame so massive it barely fit through the doorframe. Garrick tried to step through, but his body was simply too large for the narrow entryway.
So he forced his way in.
