Blood was running onto the floor from the gap from the producer's mouth. Neville’s eyes looked as if they had rolled into the back of his head.
‘Crap… I really need to start learning to control my strength even in an angry situation. I can’t even blame the fact that it's close to a full moon.’ Gary thought.
“Gary…” Spring said, her hand shaking over her mouth, not knowing what to do. It was hard to believe the situation she was in before, or the current situation she was in now.
“Don’t worry, I did this, this is all my choice, not anyone else’s, it was my choice that I hit him and I won’t let it affect you in any way.”
Walking over, Gary then lifted the producer by the scruff of his neck and started to shake him a little. Soon his eyes opened and his mind were coming to, immediately seeing Gary he tried to kick and push him away, but Gary’s strength was enough to hold him there.
“Stop moving!” Gary almost growled at him, and after suffering a great hit from before, the producer had stopped there and then. “You areshole, how can a business like this even operate with you asking a person to do such a thing?"
“I’m sure you don’t want what I heard to get out to the public. So let’s make a deal, you forget about everything that just happened right now. You will never ask any of the girls to do anything like this again, that goes for you and the director.
“If you do, then I will use everything in my power to bring you down and it will hurt a lot more than it did today. Do you understand?”
The producer almost snarled at Gary as he looked at him, never in his life had someone dared to treat him this way, due to who was behind him. The Ashen gang, based on his word, would move to get rid of this guy.
At the same time, because of that, the producer had never been hit before. Since he didn’t answer Gary raised up his fist, and this time, it was starting to transform and fur was appearing as well as sharp claws.
It was causing every cell in the producer's body to shiver.
“I understand, nothing happened, this will never happen again, just let me go and don’t hit me!” Neville cried.
Letting go, Neville fell to the floor, his body had forgotten how to work properly, he was so stunned with fear. At the same time, Elanor and the others swung the door open and rushed in.
Nearly all of them were in their pajamas getting ready for bed, but had woken up because of the commotion.
“What happened here… Gary, did you hit the producer?” Elanor’s voice was shaky. More worried for Gary than anything.
Turning around, he headed out of the room.
“He tripped and banged his teeth on the floor, you can ask the producer if you don’t believe me.” Gary answered.
No one wanted to get in his way, as even Tyson stood to the side. While the rest of them tried to figure out what happened.
That night, Neville had told everyone to just clear out of his room, that he wasn’t willing to see anyone. They never heard Neville’s side of the story, but there was another way the others could get the story of what happened, since all of the girls were staying in the same room.
“What happened, Spring, what happened that made Gary hit the producer. Did he say something to Gary?” Clem asked.
Spring shook her head.
“Spring you haven't said anything since you came back in here.” Elanor was complaining. “You have to tell us what really happened. Look, this might cause a big problem for you and Gary, and if so, I need to know.”
“I think… it's going to be okay.” Spring said, and got into bed, pulling the blanket over her head. Making it clear that she didn’t want to talk to anyone. The reason as to why she couldn’t speak about what happened, was because she was clearly confused herself.
She wanted to shout at Gary, blame him for possibly ruining her chance, but at the same time, the feeling she had, she never wanted to be in that situation again with such a man, and Gary had saved her from it. Which was why she was unable to clear her thoughts just yet.
When waking up, the group were surprised, and not so surprised at the same time, that Neville had already left. Apparently he had sent a message to Elanor, explaining that he would go ahead without her, and decide the next final two days of programming ahead of time.
It was nearly the end of their journey. With this, there was an awkward ride back in the van, and when Spring and Gary met eyes, she weirdly asked him a question.
“Are… you okay?” Spring asked.
“I was going to ask you the same thing.” Gary replied, to which Spring nodded and they just sat down in their seats.
“ARGHHH!!” Clem screamed, almost pulling her hair out, 'just what happened yesterday'.

Inside AJ Entertainment, Neville had asked for an emergency meeting, not with Ash, but with Matthew. Because explaining what happened to Ash would be hard to do, and most likely he wouldn't act on it.
Neville wanted payback, and the right person to do that for him, was always going to be Matthew.
“So that's what happened!” Matthew slammed his hand on the table. “That damned kid from the AFA, he thinks he’s hot crap just because he’s a trained fighter. That kid wouldn’t survive a second in the underworld.”
“What should we do, should we kick him out of the programme?” Neville asked.
“No, that would be too light of a punishment, and it would be quite difficult to edit him out without giving a proper reason. For the last day, let's give him his own special programme, one that he won’t be coming back from.
“And, let’s see him try to protect these girls of his. I want all three of them in front of me. It will be a first, but I’m sure I’ll be up to the task.” Matthew licked his lips once again.
