| shrugged, glancing at the shattered remains of my phone. "I'm fine. But my phone? Total goner."
Wayne glanced down at the mess.
"Mr. Johnston... Mr. Johnston... Sandor, who'd been lurking nearby, practically tripped over himself running over.
He half-reached toward Wayne, but stopped, clearly not daring to actually touch him. "Dad, help me!" The guy
on the floor groaned, grabbing at Sandor with his free hand.
One word-"Dad"-explained everything. No wonder this jerk acted untouchable; his dad clearly had his
back.
"Mr. Johnston, please, could you just go easy on my son?" Sandor begged, practically wringing his hands.
Wayne didn't even look at him. The guy on the floor let out another yell, and Sandor was practically spinning in

| turned to my subordinate. "What kind of compensation do you want?"
But he just looked too rattled to speak. So | answered for him, crossing my arms. "You'll compensate him, no
question. But that's not enough. The one who hit him? He should get the streatment." Sandor's eyes went
wide. "Wait, Ms. Kay-"
"Oh, what? You hurt someone, you make it right. Like how you pay for taking a life. Assault's the sthing,
don't you think, Mr. Laird?" | gave him a cold look
"Ms. Kay..." Sandor's voice was hesitant, clearly not thrilled.
Wayne jumped in, "If you're so reluctant, Mr. Laird, why not handle it yourself? After all, it's your son. Parents

What cnext was a harsh series of slaps, fists, and kicks. By the end, his son lay bruised and silent on the
floor.
Sandor straightened up, looking between us, his face tense. "Mr. Johnston, Ms. Kay... does this settle things?"

Classic Wayne-delivering a punch but tossing a bone right after.
"And I'll make sure your superiors know this deal's moving forward because of you," he added, throwing in
