They exited the club, the warmth and light being replaced by cold and darkness. Artificial light lit the lot outside the club, repelling the darkness, which was why the darkness that came was incredibly eerie. Eddie kept his eyes open. This was similar to what had obscured the view from booth Rhi had done her business in. Eddie was ready for it - even if he had wanted to avoid it all together.
The figure appeared in his peripheral vision, the woman who had spiked Rhi's drink. Eddie moved quickly, pushing Rhi towards the wall, keeping himself between him and her would be attacker, but it was not Rhi she came for. It was him. Eddie had trained in hand to hand combat, but she was good, her strikes moving fast, Eddie was put on the defensive quickly, blocking here and there. She was fierce. A quick hit to the gut landed on him, and Eddie winced, but utilized it to grab her wrist, twist, and push her away to give himself space. He kept Rhi in his sight, making sure her partner didn't intervene - this could be a distraction, though why the movie star would want Rhi, he didn't know.
The woman left after he pushed her away, and the darkness dissipated. Eddie went to Rhi, hands raised, showing it was him. "Are you alright?" he moved closer to Rhi, hitting him for the first time that he had been the one she had targeted.
