Chapters (21)
The Nigerian ex-boxer let fly with another right to the temple. Omar let his head loll forward, but then Erik stepped in and raised it for him with an uppercut to the chin that crushed at least a couple of his teeth and opened a cut on the tip of his tongue. That punch was followed almost instantly by yet another roundhouse fist to the belly from Oluwafeme, a left this time, just to keep his other hand in if nothing else. Omar vomited his breakfast onto his shoes. But at that point the beating could no longer remain a private affair, and convicts began picking up on it all over the playing field in the courtyard of the Varallo house of detention. Tarek and Karim, Omar’s two close friends, noticed the brawl and came lunging at Erik and the Nigerian.
