章 171: Dying in anticipation 

When Alex arrived at Dani's apartment, he was surprised to see that the front door was slightly ajar. Either she did not close the door properly and locked it, or an intruder entered the premises. 

The latter made him worry as he stepped inside the house. He immediately called for her, hoping that she was ok. When he heard her replied, he sought her out, still with caution, not taking the risk of being caught unaware.

But finding her with her nosy neighbor in her kitchen was not what he was expecting. Of course, he remembered the man that could not keep his eyes off his girl. He was certainly not the friendly neighbor that he appeared to be. That remained his opinion.

"Yes, Troy, from the club." He offered his hand for a shake. Although, it was far from what he wanted to do to the man.

But his training prevented him from provoking a fight. He knew that violence only led to more violence. His principle about fighting had always been for self-defense only.
