For a moment, just a single moment, when he saw Quinn jump from the ledge and make a quick dive for him, Hakeem could have sworn he saw his life flash before his eyes.
It was surprisingly unsatisfying and far too short.
He was injured and weak right now and he knew he wouldn't be able to put up a good fight against anyone. And even though he weren't all of these things, he still wouldn't be a match for Quinn.
And then, Willy intervened.
Slam!!
"Grk...!"
She almost folded in two like a cardboard box as she received Quinn's punch right to the midsection. The punch would have sent her flying, but she managed to hold onto his arm.
"Run Hakeem!"
She shouted out to him but Hakeem was too shocked to do anything but stare. So she looked back and shouted louder.
"I said Run!!"
Hakeem finally snapped out of his stupor and turned in the direction of Reis. He ran towards the stairs, grabbed the shell-shocked man by his collar, and bolted for the other side of the cavern.
