“Niles! Run!"

Niles caught a glimpse of the fire extinguisher in her hands. Knowing what she was planning, he quickly burst through their ranks and ran down the hall.

Blair pointed the nozzle at the men and squeezed the handle to release the extinguisher foam.

Then chaos erupted. Dripping white frothy goo, two of the four men chased after Niles. The other two wiped the mixture from their eyes and coughed, but they were starting to recover.

She lifted the fire extinguisher and threw the can at them. One of the two was hit in the head by it, groaning in pain. Blair took that chance to run away.

The other man picked up his pace to run after her. In no time, he caught up to Blair and yanked her hair violently. The man who was hit by the extinguisher also came up and grabbed her arms. They had her and she was in pain.

Right on cue, the elevator doors opened and a figure dashed out, bearing down on them.

The figure who dashed out of the elevator, of course, was Wesley.

Before the two men could react, Wesley leapt up in the air, stretched his leg and gave a hard kick to the back corner of one thug's jaw, where it connected to the skull. The man blacked out and collapsed. He landed gracefully. The other gangster stepped forward and threw a punch. But Wesley moved in past his punch and stomped on the other guy's instep-the top part of the foot. The crunch of bones told him he was successful. He gave him a push and he stumbled back, Landing on his shattered navicular bone and metatarsals. With a shriek, he also hit the floor. Within a few seconds, the two bad men were dispatched, groaning in pain or completely passed out.

But that was not enough to vent his anger. Wesley hauled one of them to his feet, and pushed him against the wall. He grabbed the man's arm and hand, twisted it hard, and then brought the limb behind the thug's back. He pushed upwards at the same time. The maneuver dislocated the man's arm. Feeling the most intense pain he ever felt in his life, the man passed out. Then Wesley grabbed the other guy, brought his arm across the soldier's chest, and using his forearms as leverage, detached the man's bicep. He then pushed him into his buddy, and they landed in a heap.

Her heart racing, Blair clutched at her chest and gasped for air at one side. She was soon enveloped in Wesley's arms. Breathing in the familiar scent, she felt safe and relieved.

Wesley gave her a quick once-over with his eyes and asked with concern,

“Am I too late? You okay?"

Blair shook her head.

"No, not late.

A shrill cry was heard from down the hall. It was Niles screaming.

“Wesley, go save your brother!" she urged anxiously.

Two of the soldiers that came along followed Wesley to the fire exit, while the others guarded the two men on the floor.

Niles' date came back with a contingent of hotel security.

The girl caught up to Blair and asked worriedly, "Where's Niles?"

“He's over there. Let's go!"

“Mm Hmm."

The two women followed the soldiers to the fire exit as well.

Apparently Niles was hoping to leave the building and set off the alarms, but the thugs got there first. Wesley tackled the thugs, banged their heads together, and threw them to the ground. Covering his bruised face, Niles kicked the guy who had hit him. His foot made contact with the thug's stomach and the man jumped and groaned on impact.

"You bastard! That's for hitting me in the face, asshole! Go to hell! You're Lucky I didn't bring my scalpel with me. I really want to cut your skin off...one piece at a time!"
