  1. The crowd was still applauding the unexpected arrival of the Ninja
  2. Squad luchadores in their trademark black costumes disguised by
  3. trench coats, who had doubtless shown up to avenge their master’s
  4. recent defeat at the hands and feet of the Jade Princess at QuadroSlam
  5. in Mexico City. Surprise guests often showed up unadvertised at the
  6. slams, but the entire Ninja Squad was an unexpected bonus.
  7. The ninjas were a writhing mass of pumping limbs, each member
  8. desperate to land a blow on the Jade Princess, and there was nothing
  9. the slight girl could do but lie there and absorb it.
  10. Butler entered the ring quietly. The element of surprise was often
  11. the difference between victory and defeat in against-the-odds
  12. situations, though if Butler were honest with himself he would admit
  13. that secretly he usually felt that the odds were in his favor, even in this
  14. case, where he was outnumbered twelve to one. Twelve to two if Juliet
  15. were still conscious, which was six to one, which was virtually even￾stevens. A moment earlier Butler had felt a little self-conscious in the
  16. borrowed costume of fake bearskin leotard and mask, but now all
  17. embarrassment was forgotten as he clicked his brain into that cold
  18. space he called combat mode.
  19. These people are hurting my sister, he thought as a hot trickle of
  20. anger cracked his icy shell of professionalism.
  21. Time to go to work.
  22. With a growl that was totally in keeping with his Crazy Bear
  23. costume, Butler rolled into the ring under the bottom rope, stepped
  24. briskly across the canvas, and began laying into the ninjas with blatant
  25. economy of movement. There was no threatening monologue, not even
  26. a simple foot stamp to herald his arrival, which was hardly courteous.
  27. He simply dismantled the ninjas as though they were a Jenga stack.
  28. There followed thirty seconds of flailing limbs and high-pitched
  29. screaming that would have done hysterical teenagers at a boy-band
  30. concert proud, and then, finally, Juliet was uncovered.
  31. ...
  32.  
  33. A couple of the ninjas had recovered and tried a few of their stylized
  34. moves on their attacker, only to be rewarded with casual openhanded
  35. slaps.
  36. “Watch it,” snapped Butler, drawing breath once more and shooting
  37. the ninjas the evil eye. “I need a minute of family time.”
