Terror at the Temple Quotes

“surged forward, striking high and low. I leapt into the rafters. This isn’t what I wanted. Not at all. These men were killers, and they wanted me dead. I couldn’t stay up here forever. There was only one rafter and nowhere to go. “Brock! Get over there and jerk that bird out of those rafters!” The oversized man made it across the room in three strides, reaching up my way. His big fingers reached at my feet as I kicked them away. “Go away, Brock!” He was big and ugly but not stupid. He laughed. “Get him, Brock!” “Snap his neck like a chicken's!” “I’ve got dibs on his pretty hair!” I kicked Brock in the nose, drawing a painful howl. That last comment lit a fire in me. My problem was they could kill and seemed perfectly willing to, but I could not. Problem. Brock threw his shoulder into the post. The entire building shook. The innkeeper was screaming, “Stop it! Stop it!” The leader shoved him to the ground. It seemed these enforcers had a point to make. Something weird was going on here, and the Jackal, whoever that was, was behind it all. It was time for me to move. Brock hit the post again, cracking it and shaking the room. I dropped onto his shoulders and blinded him with my hands. “Easy, Brock,” I said. “What you can’t see, you can’t hit!” “Get off of me, rodent!” He reached for my hands. I slapped him on his bald head. “That will leave a mark. Woo! My, it’s hot up here.” The leader shouted out, “Brock, kneel down so we can get a lick at him!”
