Snippet #1723257

"Hold it."

Just as the five thugs started to move to close the distance between them and the boy they were interrupted by what amounted to a human wall stepping between them and their target. Heinrick, who had continued to wander around the campus grounds looking for Benoit, spotted the enclosing group of thugs on the little boy and reacted on impulse. The giant of a man strode in front of them and stood towering above the thugs, his trench coat swaying slightly in the wind. He set his unblinking stare on each one with an expressionless stare, causing on or two to back up slightly, before settling his gaze on the apparent leader of the group behind them. He was a big one, almost big as Heinrick himself.

Almost.

"Five grown guys against one little kid seems a bit unfair to me." Came Heinrick's rumbling bear toned voice. "Besides, I think you can probably find something better to do with your time then waste it bothering a little runt like this."
