The man was still wailing on the ground like it was the end of the world unless Caleb coughed up a
grand or something.
The young girl sitting next to me captured the drama on her phone, then cautiously piped up, “Hey, is
he your boyfriend? He’s like, super cool.”
I nced at Caleb, who stood aloof, his gaze fixed on big bro with an icy intensity.
My guess? He was probably plotting in his head how to tear the guy apart, vignte–style.
Taking a deep breath, I masked my concern with a dismissive chuckle. “Yeah, that’s just how he rolls.”
“I’m telling you, you owe me money, and this ain’t over! Broad daylight, and you dare to hit me? Are
you two in cahoots, some kind of shady duo? Neither of you looks legit,” the middle–aged man
bellowed, turning his tirade towards the young girl when he saw no one was paying him attention.
Honestly, the girl looked totally normal, rocking a pretty floral spaghetti–strap dress that showed off her
youthful figure perfectly.
But leave it to the man to make it sound like a crime scene.
The girl was so mad she was near tears. “You’re the shady one here.”
Caleb hadn’t taken his eyes off the man, his stare enough to give you the chills.
If the man knew Caleb was a wildcard, he probably would’ve scared him out of his wits.
And sure enough, fear crept into the middle–aged man’s eyes. He shuffled on the ground, keeping his
distance from Caleb. “What you looking at?”
He didn’t dare mess with Caleb – too imposing – but he felt brave enough to get tough with a woman,
coming at me with his venom.
I sighed and tugged on Caleb’s sleeve, not because I feared the man’s con, but.worried Caleb might
snap.
The world of the unstable is beyond us; they follow whims we can’t fathom.
“I’m not letting this go withoutpensation,” the man continued his howl.
“This guy’s trying to pin this on you. Look, he’s calling the cops, but I’ll back you up,” the girl said, eager
to prevent the man from fleecing Caleb.
I didn’t reply; I just held onto Caleb tighter.

“A bunch of lowlifes, you two are probably both prostitutes,” the man spat out.
“Bam!” In a sh, Caleb stepped forward and kicked the man against the subway doors.

The man’s already greasy face was marked with a shoe print, and blood slowly trickled from his
nose.
“This is assault! Help!” the man cried out, trying to draw more attention.
Caleb strode over, grabbed his cor, andnded a punch right in his eye,
Tall and stoic, he squatted there, his focus intense as if he were a big dog ying with a fascinating toy.
Holding onto the man’s cor with ease, Caleb delivered another punch, and both of the man’s eyes
swelled up.
The middle–aged man sobbed and struggled, terror–stricken as he faced Caleb. A grown man with no
small amount of strength, but against Caleb, he was powerless, unable to break free.
This lean, tall man was deceptively strong.
“Colin…” My voice wavered as I stood up, wanting to intervene.
The girl beside me, though, covered her mouth in awe. “Oh my God, he’s so unhinged, and I totally
love it.”
I didn’t know what to make of the taste of young girls nowadays.
Caleb turned to look at me briefly.
That’s when the man tried to blindside him.
Instinctively, I moved to help, but the man’s fist never reached Caleb’s head. Instead, it was caught in
Caleb’s steady grasp.
He was indeed… unhinged.

And then, right before the eyes of the onlookers, Caleb gently squeezed the man’s wrist.
A snap echoed, followed by a blood–curdling scream.
The man’s phone tumbled from his pocket as he writhed on the ground in agony.
I looked heavenward, hand to my forehead. This was a disaster.
We were in deep trouble now.
“I’m over celebrities; I’m gonna follow him. He’s so hot,” the girl excitedly recorded Caleb’s every move,
her excitement off the charts.
