All the men had gone after Petra, leaving no one to watch Megan.
Charlotte quickly rushed over and caught her before she could fall Miss Stone, wake up. I’m Charlotte Riley,” she said, supporting her firmly.
With the men distracted, Charlotte helped Megan toward the car.
“Hang in there, Miss Stone. I’m taking you to the hospital.”
Meanwhile, the men charged Petra with full force, but they had no idea who they were dealing with.
Dressed in all black, Petra moved like a panther in the night–sharp–eyed, agile, and deadly. She darted through the crowd like
a predator. One attacker? Taken down. Two? She dropped them both. Every strike was fast, precise, and brutal.
With a sharp elbow, she knocked a buzz–cut guy to the ground. Then a clean spinning back kick smashed into a burly man’s face, breaking his nose and sending blood pouring.
The tattooed leader, eyes blazing with fury, charged at her with everything he had. But Petra used his momentum against him. With a fluid motion, she flipped him over her shoulder and slammed him onto the concrete.
In less than ten minutes, the entire gang was on the ground.
They lay scattered across the pavement, groaning in pain, not one of them able to stand.
Petra gave them a cold, emotionless glance. There wasn’t the slightest trace of pity in her eyes.
She didn’t say much, but her actions spoke volumes. Not a single one of those men had even touched a strand of Charlotte’s hair before they were all taken down.
One against six, and Petra didn’t have a scratch on her. Her strength was terrifying.
Charlotte had already called the police before she arrived.
By now, officers were on the scene.
Two policemen looked over the groaning men on the ground, their expressions unreadable.
One of them stared at Petra in disbelief. “Are you telling me you took all of them down by yourself?”
Petra gave a short, emotionless reply. “Yeah.”
Charlotte stepped in quickly. “Officers, they made the first move. This was self–defense. There were six of them, and only two of us. If my friend didn’t know how to fight, we wouldn’t have made it out of here.”
She pointed toward Megan, who was barely conscious. “Look at my friend–she’s not just drunk. They drugged her. I strongly suspect they were planning to assault her. I need to take her to the hospital right now. You’re welcome to send someone with me. Once the test results come back, you’ll have your proof.”
The officers exchanged a glance.
One of them nodded. “Alright, ma’am. You take your friend to the hospital. My partner will go with you. The come with me to the station to give a statement.”

He turned and gently helped the semi–conscious woman up, speaking softly, “It’s okay now. Let’s get you out of here.”
Charlotte brought Megan to the hospital.
Petra followed the other officer to the station to give her statement
