Chapter 15: Heart Of A Dragon - 2
The eyes of the massive marine behind the gate and the little girl roved over to him, "None of your business, brat," the marine behind the gate spat, "This little annoyance is interfering with official marine business. You should leave before you get caught up in those as well."
There was a definite threat in the mans voice.
Kaden resisted the urge to let his temper get the better of him and kick the gate off its hinges and crush him beneath it.
"That's funny, because I was under the impression that marine business was my business," Kaden said, raising an eyebrow at the man as he reached into his pocket and pulled out his ID card, his shiny new ID card that queer ass annoyance dropped on him after his promotion went through and showed off not only his identity, but his current rank, "What with me being a marine commander and all that."

Yet was unable to hide his gritted teeth.
