Chapter 4 - The Caravan "Industrial Park Compound" (Merged)
The brawl unfolded quickly. Lorenzo didn't have much in his mind other than to plow Sam right over on his sorry ass, but the old dickhead ostensibly had some fight left in him after all. Lorenzo was somewhat aware of something in his arm snapping as Sam yanked it to the side, in a way he knew for a damn fact it wasn't supposed to bend. It didn't hurt yet. Which meant he could still try to push through this.
Well, fuck me silly, I guess I broke my fucking arm, was Lorenzo's only thought on the matter. He hissed in frustration and tried to get a better hold on Sam, but his armed hand was restrained, and he found his left hand no longer worked how he would like it to. It was hard to even make a fist. Even with his limited medical knowledge, he knew that wasn't good.
For a second he could only glower at Sam, his dark eyes wide, and admittedly a little crazed looking. He heard Sam say something that he didn't give a shit about, spat in his face, then felt something hit his head. Hard. Everything went dim and swimmy briefly and he blinked, trying to chase the darkness away.
Despite being dazed, he still stubbornly tried to force himself free. New Mexico was up. That was good. The kid had cut Sam's hand clean off, though Lorenzo was too woozy to marvel at the fact. All that mattered was he could move again. He jerked the blade up toward the older man's throat, plunged it in, and dragged it through in a practiced motion like he had done to chickens and pigs back home.
Blood gushed out. Lorenzo could feel it on his hand, warm and sticky, and most people would have took a step back and stopped there. Well, Lorenzo was a bit more unhinged than most people.
"Mother fucker, fuck you!" he bellowed. "Break my goddamn arm, huh, pedazo de mierda?"
He kept his hold on Sam, despite his barely functional arm, and each word was punctuated by a stab to the abdomen. He didn't stop, almost couldn't stop, until the man went limp. The only further action he took was putting one right in the old twat's temple so he couldn't reanimate, then Lorenzo stepped back and sheathed his knife.
"Fucking fuck," he breathed. His voice was trembling. He cradled his arm against his stomach and closed his eyes, letting out a slow hiss of pain. "Fuck that guy," he grumbled. He glanced over at the others.
"Mex, that was some solid goddamn work! Old ass bitch couldn't keep you down more than a second! Hah!" Lorenzo gloated, a big shit-eating-grin spreading across his face. "Atta boy!"
He waded over to the cupboards, giving New Mexico a rough pat on the shoulder, and started haphazardly throwing whatever he could into his bag. The movements caused stabs of pain to jolt all through his arm up to his shoulder. He winced, swore under his breath, and tried to ignore it.
"Grab what we can and get the hell outta here before this whole rat-trap comes down on us. Real quick-like," he muttered. He raised his voice, trying not to sound too concerned. "Everyone's alright?"
