Damn! It's Fairfax's wife!

Quickly darting out of her line of sight, he circles round so that he is behind the door.

"Max! Where are you?" she calls as she strides into the room.

Instantly, he is on her.

Grabbing her by the arms and mouth, he feels her freeze. Using the opportunity, he gently kicks the door close.

The moment of shock now passed, she starts to struggle against him but to no avail. Keeping her firmly in his grasp, his hand still over her mouth so she cannot cry out, he guides her over to the couch.

Standing next to it, he snarls into her ear.

"If you don't want me to kill right here, right now, I suggest you sit on the settee and shut up!"
