Bodie gritted his teeth. Not now of all times. Something had happened to Doyle and those bloody idiots delayed his search for his missing partner. He could hear Murphy taking in a sharp breath behind him. Between the two of them they should be able to get rid of those half-drunk brutes. Squaring his shoulders he took a step forward, planting his broad frame in front of Mr. Tattoo.

"Are you threatening me?" Bodie snarled, his eyes flashing. He'd never been able to turn down a challenge and he'd be damned if he started now, Doyle or no Doyle.

The tattooed bloke grinned, showing a row of uneven teeth and raised his fists in reply. Bodies gaze fell on the right hand of Mr. Tattoo and he froze. The man was wearing a black watch round his right wrist. A very special watch Bodie would recognize anywhere as it was similar to the one he had. Last time he'd seen that watch it had been round Doyle's wrist.

Forgetting everything else around him including Murphy, he fixed his eyes on the man in front of him. The bastard was still grinning, not knowing what was about to hit him. With a quick move he pulled out a knife and started circling Bodie, who never took his eyes of the man's face. Tattoo man lunged suddenly but Bodie was way faster. He sidestepped neatly, grabbed the blokes arm and twisted it sharply while kicking the man in the chest at the same time. With the grisly sound of tearing muscle the arm popped out of its joint. Mr. Tattoos eyes almost did the same trick as he fell to his knees screaming and holding onto his dangling arm.

A quick look around confirmed that Murphy was in control of the other two guys. One was on the ground holding his bollocks, while Murph had the third guy in a tight headlock. With a nasty grin Bodie turned his attention back to the man at his feet. Grabbing him by the hair he pulled him up, which promptly resulted in more screaming.

"And now my friend, you're gonna talk or I really start hurting you," Bodie grated between clenched teeth.
