"Hah! You again?!" Cid spat, really sick of Nash right then. "I won't wait—I really need an outlet to vent right now, and I've decided on your girl! I'l have her right now, and no one gets to say otherwise!" He waved his hand, and two goons promptly strode up to restrain Kat.

Soren finally cleared his throat right then, rearing his head and bracing himself as he said, "Please, let's talk about this. She's a friend—just let her go! I'll get you someone better—" Cid slapped him again and snapped, "You're talking when I'm not done with you?! Get the fuck out of here, or I'm gutting you like a pig!"

He had numbers and influence, but he would be dead if he kept pushing Nash's buttons! What's the point of all that if he was dead?! "Run, Kat!" Nash cried once he saw that his daughter was freed.
Kat, however, stood still, her tears welling up in her eyes Dad. What about you? content is on !
"Don't worry about me—just run! I'll be right behind you!" Nash said forcing a smile. Shier is on !
