Caine was walking downtown, heading for one of the shops. He just needed a few items before heading back to Chinatown. But then he heard signs of a commotion beside the store.
Three men were cornering a redheaded lady. The guys were smiling, and it wasn't exactly in a happy way. It was like a pack of wolves who'd found a great meal. One of the guys groped her and said, "We're takin' you to our place, mama. So who's first, eh? Taking turns. Or maybe you'd like us all at once.."
She just shook her head, but that got her a slap from the second guy. "Wrong answer, bitch! Now.. tell us again, how you want it.."
Caine had seen enough. He quietly stepped behind the one offender and grabbed a hand to his shoulder, pressing two fingers into it. It caused the man to gasp in shock and slowly fall to the pavement unconscious. "I believe.. that she has already answered you."
The other two were not too thrilled in having their joyous meeting interrupted by this, this... bum!! They attacked.
Caine sidestepped a punch and reacted by a palm-strike to the chest, knocking him alarmed and against a wall. He intercepted a knife strike from the second by grabbed the wrist and twisting the hand around.. the knife fell. He swung the arm around and flipped him over on his back.
The two punks started to get up again, but were not as excited as before. But they were pissed. "That's ok, we took karate in a gym! We gonna kick your ass." The second rushed at him.
"And I learned at a.. temple." Caine just stepped aside at the last moment, letting him run himself into the wall. He wasn't feeling too good as he slid down.
That left the last man. He wasn't so brave, since he didn't have his two cronies to back him up. "Okay, man, look here! I don't want to have to hurt you. But I will."
Caine just shrugged. "Then.. don't. You do not need to do.. what you do not desire to do. Leave."
The man thought it over, then laughed. "Nah, still gonna kick your ass, old man!" He went for it.
Caine stepped aside and gave a roundhouse kick to the stomach, followed by another palm strike, knocking him down. "Enough." He leaned over the man and pressed a couple fingers just below the ear. Unconsciousness came next.
The lady smiled. "Thank, thank you! I was so scared, they were gonna.. thanks. I don't know what I should do now. I thought it was safe in daylight hours."
"Danger exists at any time. Every moment, there is a change in the order." Caine nodded. "Perhaps you could go alert the authorities. If you are in need of shelter or assistance, and you have no options here.. come to Chinatown and.. ask for Caine. I will help you."
She nodded, then quickly left.
Caine got back up on his feet. He did not prefer to fight. But with three of these men, it would not have been easy to persuade them otherwise. Then he remembered he had some shopping to do, so he went back toward the store..
