The punch met metal and gear, and the foreman learned how wrong a man can be to attack something that has nowhere to be. Choppy moved in the gaps, the short, staccato steps that had become his signature. Each strike was precise and small, economical; he didn’t aim to maim, only to create leverage. The gang scattered like loose papers caught in a breeze. Someone tried to pull a knife; it clanged uselessly against the pressure valve embedded in Choppy’s ribs. A kid—only a kid, really—stared with wide, guilty eyes and then ran, leaving behind a lighter.
