Guppy and Will step out into the cold night air.

"It's this way." Guppy says. He's shivering, and it's not just the cold.

The men, who Will might recognise from the riot, appear to stop. But if Will is observant, he will notice them stick a rag into a bottle, set it on fire with a lighter and hurl it towards the pair.

It's not good enough aim to hit them directly, but it explodes nearby with a bang and a shower of glass.

He tries to be gentle but Will pushes Guppy to ground and as the explosion clears turns to face the men, his face a little scorched and bloody from the glass,

"Was there somethin' ye wished to say?"

Guppy, startled by the unexpected explosion and being pushed to the ground, gives a loud yell. He whips his phone out and dials for the police.

"NHS scum!" One of the drunks yells. But seeing Will looking ferocious and Guppy already dialling for backup, they quickly slouch off back where they came from.

Will would love to pursue them but they're leaving so stays standing over Guppy, holding himself ready for anything that might happen next.

Nothing else comes. The attack seems to have been more for intimidation than anything else. Guppy gets up, trembling.

"I think I'll ask Brian to drop me off in his van next week."

"Just a bunch o'cowards. Are ye well?"

Will offers Guppy an arm, he's still more concerned with keeping Guppy safe and his face hurts a bit but nothing too bad.

"I'm fine, thank you Will." Guppy checks Will's face. "Let's get you back to the bar, I can fuse those."

[will_scarlett]

"Oh aye, would be best."
