the bigger they are the harder they fall? Yeah... sometimes it’s bullshit. * * * Neil had described Mr. Zinchenko’s bodyguard, Yuri, as big and augmented with implant stims. Scarlett stared Yuri’s bulging arms. Her mentor had not been clear on exactly which kinds of implants Yuri had, only that he was a beast. A bear is a beast. Yuri was a Russian Godzilla. Neil should have used the term “fucking huge.” Mr. Zinchenko walked alongside his bodyguard until they were just a few feet from Scarlett. “Mr. Lewis, please come with me. I would hate for Yuri to make a mess of your friends.” Scarlett raised her arm. “Dax, you might want to get behind the table.” Yuri growled. “Ms. Angel, you may be fast and strong. You may even have been trained by Mr. Smithson. But Yuri will crush your skull with one hand.” “We’ll see.” Scarlett ducked down and to the side. Knees are good. She brought her fist down hard into the side of Yuri’s knee. Instead of dislocating his knee, her fist stopped dead.
