Hector Vaughn struggled. He didn't want to be taken away. He glared furiously at Aurora Sterling. "You! You're the one who had to stick your nose in this!"
As if he'd decided Aurora was his ultimate enemy, the seemingly harmless Hector suddenly lashed out, ramming his head into the officer restraining him. Caught completely off guard, the young officer cried out in pain, clutching his bleeding nose.
Hector broke free and charged toward Aurora, his face a mask of rage. "I'll teach you to meddle! You fucking bitch! I'll teach you!"
It all happened too quickly. By the time the surrounding officers realized the danger and moved to restrain Hector, the enraged man was already right in front of Aurora.
Sylvia Vaughn let out a terrified scream, horrified that Hector would hurt Aurora.
But Aurora remained perfectly still, her eyes like ice as she watched the crazed Hector charge at her. The moment he was in front of her, she raised her hand and slapped him hard across the face.
