Trying to find a fun scene with Cassidy that isn’t spoiler heavy is really tough. I did my best with a small fight scene, but it has a context problem again. All I’ll say is that she’s run into someone from her past.
Hearing a buzz behind her, Cassidy vaults over a table and the vendor is suddenly struck by a stun gun. The surprised man is sent convulsing to the ground, his legs knocking over his chair. The drone soars by, releasing the wires and clicking in a new cartridge. Coming in for a low circle, the machine is at chest height when it heads directly for Cassidy. She ducks the two prongs that fly out at her, the drone’s laser pointers helping her see where the projectiles are supposed to land. Leaping forward, she grabs the mechanical arms and flips herself upside down to hang from the ascending machine. A smirk is on her face when she rises high enough to get a limited view of the bazaar and spots Dick resting at his starting place. Five attractive women are doing the work for him, one of which has already been knocked out by a drone. Two more are with the bounty hunter, who is enjoying a beer and laughing at his own jokes.
Having competed in these contests before, Cassidy knows that Dick has disqualified himself by having a team that outnumbers the drones. She would be surprised by the mistake if she did not believe the man had the foresight and intelligence of a rusty corkscrew. With the contest no longer viable, she happily drops onto the roof of a tractor trailer and violently clotheslines the redhead who is attempting to get at the drone. After giving Dick’s companion a kick to the ribs for sure measure, Cassidy climbs to the ground and walks toward her waving ex-boyfriend. The busty brunettes he is with move to block her from the bounty hunter, the pair refusing to let the young woman hurt their man.
“This is Iowa and Kansas. Two of my favorites,” Dick says, stretching his arms over his head. He takes a seat at a nearby stall, slapping a can opener down to pay for a bologna sandwich and a fresh beer. “Girls, this was the one who refused to be my New York. Still haven’t filled the position yet. Please don’t hurt her on my account. Even though her mother put a bullet in me and she’s insulted me so much today.”
Cassidy glances from one woman to the other and puts on a pair of leather gloves before cracking her knuckles. “Iowa Slut. Kansas Slut. Now that I have some protection on, I’m going to fuck you two up. Then I’m neutering that poster boy for venereal disease you call a boyfriend.”
Since the two women are expecting a punch, the kick to Iowa’s groin strikes with full force and sends her crumpling to the ground. Skilled more in loving than fighting, Kansas feebly attempts a slap to the battle-hardened woman’s face. The sheer ridiculousness of the blow causes Cassidy to stop for a second, which gives the pair an opening to tackle her. She remains standing, the enemy on the ground having missed her left leg and the other only succeeding in a clumsy bear hug. Driven by desperation, Kansas tries for a headbutt only for Cassidy to do it first and knock several of the woman’s teeth out. Both of Dick’s lovers are grabbed by their hair and moved next to each other, allowing the mildly disappointed blonde to slam their heads together with an echoing clunk.
“You never did like having strong women around,” Cassidy says, letting Iowa and Kansas drop into what she hopes is not mud.





This story just keeps reeling me in.

Good scene. Not to worry about context. The action speeks for itself.

Thanks. Thinking next week will be the last teaser from Bedlam though. Don’t want to show too much and the book will hopefully be going live by Valentine’s Day.
