Baggage Claim (Part Four)

Chance ducked to avoid the fist homing for his face. In the same motion, he tackled his adversary. They both tumbled to the ground and Chance pinned the other man down. Not ready to lose the fight, the man struggled against Chance’s weight, but Chance threw a few disorienting blows to the man’s face. Bloodied and near unconsciousness, the man slumped under Chance and gave up the battle.
“Now that you’re finally ready to answer my questions, where is he keeping Genevieve?” Chance demanded.
“I’m not telling you anything!”
Chance back-handed the weaker man and tried once more, “tell me where they are keeping her or I will help your employer stumble on the drugs you have skimmed from his stash.”
A flash of fear crossed the man’s eyes and all the information Chance wanted to know poured out of him. Satisfied, Chance knocked the man unconscious and raced to rescue Genevieve.
