and find out for himself.”
      Nikki glanced at Angel. It was obvious from his expression that he was going to snap any second now. If he wasn’t going to leave, then she had to get Jaxon out of the room quick. "Jax, we can talk about this later. I'm asking you again to please leave."
        Jax's eyes stretched wide. “You want me to go? You know what? I thought you were better than this. You're acting like some little bitch in heat who…"
            Those were the last words Jax managed to get out of his mouth before Angel lunged around Nikki and punched him dead in his mouth. Jax’s knees buckled like a stack of cards and blood spewed from his lips. He got up on unsteady legs, screaming obscenities when he saw the blood on his hands.
        “You motherfucker! Look what you’ve done! I‘m gonna have your ass thrown under the jail. You don’t know who you’re messing with…”
            Angel hit him again, sending him sprawling to the floor, moaning in pain. When he went after him, Nikki half jumped on his back.
        “Angel, no! Stop it! Stop it! ” But Angel couldn’t see or hear anything through the haze of fury that pumped through his body. He set Nikki to the side as if she were a weightless doll and circled Jax who was writhing on the floor.
        “You were saying something, Jaxon?” Angel kicked him in the side, causing him to howl in agony. “Something about putting me under the jail?” Angel’s voice was quiet as if he were having a casual conversation. He continued to circle Jax like a pitbull in a dog fight trying to find the weakest part to tear into. The next series of kicks connected with Jax's ribs then his stomach. He ignored Nikki's screams as she told him to stop.
        “Told you not to call Nikki another name, didn't I?” He reached down and pulled Jax up by the front of his shirt and damned near slapped the taste out of his mouth before shoving him back down on the floor. "Who's the bitch now?"
        Jax crawled over to the bed and pulled himself up to his knees, grabbing at the covers. Angel walked behind him and wrapped his arm around his neck. All the fury and anger he’d kept inside for all these years came out as he slowly squeezed. Jax clawed as the pressure on his larynx constricted his breathing.
            Angel didn't notice the deep scratch marks on his skin. He was in a zone, and the only thing he wanted to do was inflict pain. If the son had to pay for the father’s sin, so be it.  
        “ Angel, pleaasssseeee ….” Nikki cried.
        Angel's lips tightened and after a few more seconds, he abruptly released Jax from the hold he had around his neck and pushed him to the floor. Nikki rushed over to Jax and lifted his head into her lap. She grabbed the sheet and tried to wipe the blood from his face. Her eyes had a fearful look in them as she studied Angel. If she hadn’t been here, she had no doubt he would’ve killed Jax and not thought another thing of it.
            “ Are you crazy?! What’s wrong with you?!" Nikki yelled. “Get out! Get… out !”
          Angel watched her hovering over Jaxon. Disgusted, he shook his head then snatched his shirt off the floor. Without another word, he walked out of the room. Nikki jumped when he slammed the door behind him hard enough to tear the frame from the hinges.  
     
            Nikki and Jax were in the emergency room where the doctor had securely wrapped his ribs after determining they were just bruised, not broken. Jax's face looked worse than it actually was because of all the blood. After they cleaned the cuts and abrasions, the doctor told him that the police were waiting to speak with him. Jax stared at Nikki then told the doctor to give him a minute.
        “Are you okay?” Nikki asked in a hesitant voice.
            Jax watched her with cool, distant eyes. Nikki peered closer, studying his features. Something
