The enforcer on Joseph's far left, a big, sandy-haired man with red jowls grinned. “Curfew is at nine. Looks like we got us some violators.” Beside him his partner, a tall, dark Indigo enforcer chuckled. “Dumpster diving is illegal too.” He looked Kathy and Joan up and down: slowly, insolently then cut his eyes at Joseph. “Well, what you got to say for yourself?”
The other enforcers, one Fuchsia...the other Bronze grinned unpleasantly. The three gazed stonily ahead. The Fuchsia man across from Joseph pulled his taser, “You're tough, huh?” he pushed the point under Joseph's chin. “What if I blow your brains out right now?”
“We're hungry!” Kathy blurted.
Joan cut her eyes at her lover, her face working with emotion.
“Is that so?” the heavy enforcer drawled. He snatched Joan's bag of food, threw it to the pavement and ground his foot in it. Kathy wailed in anguish. “When your hunger means breaking the law,” he bellowed, emphasizing his words with his boot, stomping the bag, “you stay home and starve!” He snatched Kathy's bag from her, spilling the meat and pastries on the street shook the contents out on the street.
Tears ran down Kathy's face. “Please...!”
He grabbed her by the throat. “You might be able to talk me outta locking you and your friends up.” He ran his hand down her body. “Start talking. What'll you give me, huh?”
Joan growled low in her throat, the feral warning of a wolf whose territory has been violated. Hair now streaming rapidly over her body.
“What the—?!” the Indigo officer exclaimed. “Bitch you got something in your throat?” Joseph roared, thrust his hand in the enforcer's chest... and snatched his still beating heart from his body.
The man looked down, an almost comical look of disbelief on his face, and fell heavily to the pavement. The stocky officer drew his weapon, aiming at Joseph. Joan blurred forward, clamping her powerful jaws onto his arm. In the next instant, his severed arm was between her jaws...
