Fourteen

Before he even made it down the stairs Daniel could hear commotion coming from the kitchen. Inside, one of the guards was doubled over, his hands around his face and blood seeping out onto the floor. Two more guards were hanging back with wary looks. Their unease was evident and Daniel knew that familiar feeling when it came to these moments. He had seen the scene plenty of times but he still felt the same unease. It was the same feeling one got when stumbling across a dangerous animal with no defences. 

Kade was pacing frantically, his hands fisted into his hair tugging viciously. Daniel could see the blood around his mouth, the bright red mess soaking the collar of Kade's t-shirt and running down the front. His knuckles were busted and bloody. Kade had been fighting and not just with the guard currently trying to set his broken nose. 

"Everyone leave. I will deal with this." Daniel commanded, his eyes keeping Kade in sight.
