"[color=0072bc]Enough![/color]"

Echo's voice broke the trance Benj had been in since the fight started. If you could call Eddy getting his face smashed in with little to no resistance a fight The way Dom and Claire jumped him, and Jay beat him, it didn't seem entirely fair. I mean yeah, the guy had pulled a pretty dick move on Nat, especially seeing that it was her birthday, and while he initially had felt a flash of righteous anger now he just felt sorry for the guy. While Tas was tending to their two fighters, and Jay gave up after Echo's pleas, Benji stepped in.

[color=a2d39c]"Okay guys, Echo's right, enough is enough."[/color] He held up his hands in a peacemaking gesture. "I don't know what this asshole thought he was doing, but I think it's safe to say he's learned his lesson. Let's stop now before someone gets seriously hurt."[/color] Unfortunately, glancing quickly down at Edgar, it seemed like it might be a little too late for that.

Seriously, what was this guy thinking? And didn't he live with Claire? Maybe he just had a death wish. In any case, everyone was going to be really pissed off at him for a while, he'd gone ahead and done a great job of making enemies of everyone. New guy, Mr. Fancy Pants Perfect Face--who Benji had to admit was hella good looking in spite of everything--shows up out of the blue to ruin Nattie's day. Definitely not cool. But also not cool was Eddy getting the living snot beat out of him without even putting up much of a fight. Maybe he deserved it, or maybe there was some other reason for his actions other than him being a total douchebag. Well, he was basically a stranger to everyone in the room so who could know?

Thankfully, Tas took over and played doctor for Edgar. Hell, he needed it. [color=a2d39c]"Should I call for an ambulance?"[/color] he asked her, and after getting a nod proceeded to punch 911 into his phone. After using a few words as possible to explain the situation to the dispatcher, he hung up and cringed as Tas punched a straw right into the guy's lung. Gross. [color=a2d39c]"Uh, they'll be here in 10 minutes. More or less."[/color] he announced, backing out of the way so Doctor Tas could do her job.

Numbly, Benji shuffled back over to the bar where he'd left his beer bottle. It was only half empty. [i]Shit, it's too early for this kinda thing.[/i] He thought, draining the bottle and then helping himself to another. His nerves were all jittery now as the gravity of the situation sank in. He hoped Dom wouldn't get into any trouble. Shit gets real when Dom manages to say a whole and complete paragraph. Or Jay for that matter, man that guy was dangerous when alcohol was involved. Not Benj. Benj was a happy drunk, so he needed to get buzzed ASAP if he was going to be able to put up with whatever happened next. 

Spotting Nat, Didi, and Kipper he headed over and plopped himself down next to them. [color=a2d39c]"Can I join the club?"[/color] he said. He put an arm around Nat's shoulders as Eva wiped her face and clothes. [color=a2d39c]"Hey, are you gonna be okay? Can I get you anything, cup of coffee maybe?"[/color]
