While it didn't come as a huge surprise, the attack that knocked him forward on the ground and held him down by his hair and the knee in his back was not something James had prepared himself for. Andrei. Right on schedule.
"What is your problem!" James made sure his voice sounded equally startled and outraged. He grunted, wincing at the hold on his hair. Andrei's thumb's proximity next to James' eye sockets was an unpleasant reminder of an earlier encounter. Forgot a lesson? No, James never forgot. This had been a long time coming.
James' grimace turned into a grin. Before he could take full advantage of the situation, however, a third voice joined them. Who in the world dared to approach them? James shot Bayani a look, changing tactics quickly. "Get him off of me!" he ordered.
