Karyn saw small dabs of blood on the pavement. She bent down to look. It appeared to be fresh.
She smiled. Her old friend was hurt, probably when he jumped out of the way. Something about the idea of Jon being hurt made her feel good.
She heard a noise to her left. Cautiously, she walked around the car parked there, thinking that Jon was hiding there. But he wasn't. It was just a squirrel. It was sitting on the ground eating ...
It happened so quick. She wasn't even prepared for it. Jon slammed into her from behind, sending her to the ground. The device fell into the grass, which was fortunate. Jon picked it up and inspected it. Nothing seemed to be broken. He turned around to see if Karyn was alright. He hoped that after he changed her back to normal, she wouldn't be too mad at him for tackling her like that.
But she wasn't there. He knew he saw her fall to the ground. But she just wasn't there.
"Hey!" someone yelled. He turned and got punched in the face. It was Karyn who did it. Jon fell to the ground, dropping the device next to him in the grass. He was out like a light.
Zoe ran up to them from behind. "Karyn, are you okay? What happened?"
"Fucking asshole tried to steal it from me," she answered. She massaged her hand, the one she used to punch Jon.
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah. My hand hurts, but it felt so good to punch him."
"I bet." Zoe looked down at her brother. "What should we do with him?"
