I saw him. I also saw a gleam. I stepped back.

“Joshua, don’t get crazy now,” I said.

“Why? You were just gonna kill me!” he snapped. I shook my head.

“What? No I wasn’t!” What’s the use? I thought. Stupid’s not gonna believe me.

“Really?” he asked disbelievingly.

“Yes REALLY !” I was getting mad. Joshua came at me with the knife. I jumped to the side and came up behind him, holding him by his neck now. His pressure points were numbed, but I could still make sure he dind’t get anywhere.

“LET ME GO !” he yelled. I tightened my grip as he struggled to get away. I wasn’t going to let him. Not this one.
