#knockout game

💤

napguin art cause its my favorite skin :D

i did not spend 30 bucks on a funny penguin game shshshhh

also ignore the slightly different eyes 💔

I'm not sure how widespread it actually was, even in the US, but basically I'm currently thinking about what would happen if Lena were randomly chosen as the victim of such an attack. These guys didn't always wait for a hidden or secluded spot to do it-- sometimes, they even filmed themselves doing it. So like...

It's a normal night. Lena is walking home, or to Kara's. The streetlights are all on and burning brightly. There's absolutely nothing at all to suggest anything amiss.... until she hears the rapid patter of sneakers on pavement behind before everything suddenly goes dark.

At first, when she doesn't get up, the kids (because many of the assailants are teens) are all thrilled and hyping each other up that they managed to get one. She never even saw it coming! But then they lean in for a closer look at the damage... and freeze. It's Lena Luthor.

They just demolished Lena fucking Luthor.

After a moment's panic, they simply flee, sprinting into the dark.

Later, when Lena doesn't arrive on time, and doesn't answer Kara's texts, Kara decides to meet her halfway. After all, Lena had texted her to let her know she was on her way. Perhaps something had grabbed her attention on the way out, waylaying her. Kara doesn't mind a bit of evening air.

But then she sees a body collapsed on the pavement, half draped over the curb and onto the street. A crowd of concerned passersby have begun to gather, soon eclipsing the figure from Kara's sight, but she knows in an instant that it's Lena.

"Let me through! Let me through! That's my friend!" Kara shoves past the growing crowd as gently as her panic allows, dropping to her knees beside Lena. "Lena? Lena!"

"You know her?" a calm voice asks. Another woman kneels at Lena's head, her gaze compassionate but alert.

Kara nods.

"Okay, good. My name is Frankie, and I'm a nurse over at NCUH." She hands Kara her cell phone. "I've called 911, and an ambulance is on it's way. Could you stay on the line with them and give them as much detail about Lena as you can while I assess your friend?"

Kara nods, nearly dropping the phone from the shake in her hands. "H-hello?"

"Hi, I'm Patricia with emergency dispatch. What's your name?"

"K-Kara. Kara Danvers."

"Thank you, Kara. How are you related to the victim?"

"She's my-- my best friend."

"And what's her name?"

The call and response soon helps calms Kara's panic. It gives her something to focus on, a problem to solve when she would have have otherwise been powerless to help.

"Her name is Lena Luthor." She glances at Frankie, who has two fingers pressed against Lena's carotid artery. The woman meets her gaze and nods. "She has a pulse." Kara swallows a sob. "She's alive."

"That's good, Kara. Can you tell me where you are?"

"Hope Street and.... 2nd," Kara responds, spying the sign for the cross street.

"Excellent," Patricia tells her. "An emergency response team is on its way to you, it's almost there. Do you know what happened to Lena?"

Kara blinks back tears. "I don't know. She was supposed to meet me-- she was running late so I came out to meet her, and I just-- she was just... lying here! I don't know what to do..."

"You're doing it right now, Kara. Just take a deep breath for me, all right? What's Lena's birth date?"

And so the questions continue, until the ambulance arrives and Frankie rattles off a series of stats at the paramedics who swoop in to take her place. The police who arrive want to talk to them, Kara included, but she refuses to be anywhere but in the ambulance with Lena.

She rides along in the back, Lena's slack fingers gripped tightly in her own as the paramedics operate as an efficient team.

REVIEW

The Suit by Colin Conway

509 Crime Stories #4

Bored? Why not start a “game” that will see who can win the most points for knocking people out with one punch. You know, walk up to a stranger, land a punch and knock them out with the hope of winning the prize. Matt, Ex-Marine turned drug dealer, has nothing to keep his crew happy so dreams up restarting the knockout game and that is probably the worst choice he could have made.

This book is definitely a police procedural to find out who is behind the knockout game with the intention of rounding the culprits up and then incarcerating them. In addition to the team effort made by the police there is the story of Matt’s crew and the knockout game. And finally there is the part of the story that really drew me in...the story about Adam Miller, ex-military Delta Force, and his impact on the game.

What I liked:

* Adam – I really found him intriguing and wished there were more men out and about that were just like him. I loved the way he cared for Candace and the way he did not back down.

* Leya Navarro – Seeing what her life was like as a beat cop, team member, mother and wife was like being a fly on the wall. I really hope she will choose to take the exam and take larger parts in future books in the series.

* Detective Marci Burkett – talk about a strong woman with a backstory I am eager to hear more about! She is a great role modell for females of all ages.

* The plotting and pace of the story

* The conclusion

What I did not like:

* The men who were willing and eager to play the knockout game – scum of the earth.

* Realizing once again how easily some can be lead to do wrong or be suckered into addiction

What I am curious to know more about:

* Quinn Delaney – would love to know more about him

* Zane Ingram (FBI) and whether he will ever get a date with Marci

* Marci Burkett – would love to know more about her

I can see a spin off series for Andrew in the future...maybe. I can also see some of the characters in this story starring in future books and some of them being promoted.

Did I like this book? Yes

Would I read more in the series? Definitely

Thank you to the author for the ARC – this is my honest review.

This brass knuckle clad punk decided to sucker punch this other guy in the face. Then once on the floor, he continued to pound on him.

Then you see a video like this, and a potential sentence of 20 years. I’m curious what…
