The grip on La Kea’s throat loosened, and she slumped to the floor, coughing and gasping for air, while Trevor took a reflexive step back, his bravado crumbling.
“Hey!” Ronda’s voice was a whip crack in the silence, authoritative and unyielding. Trevor, momentarily stunned by the direct confrontation, shrank under the weight of her glare. The hall, once a cacophony of laughter and jeers, was now filled with a tension so thick it was almost palpable.
