Cai started to bolt toward Ross but Zoe stopped him, pressed the palms of her hands against his chest. She didn't push, but there was pressure there. There was pressure in the look in her eyes, too, her relentless dark eyes held his for a moment, and told him no clearly and strongly enough that he froze. Even after she moved away he could still feel her hands on his chest.
Zoe turned and took two deliberately placed steps toward Ross, who was bending over the bed with his back to her. Cai couldn't do this, Zoe knew, or even if he could, it was the worst idea in the world for Cai to show violence in front of Danny right now. But Zoe had no qualms about that. She planted one sharp, solid kick directly behind Ross's knee, forcing his leg to buckle. She grabbed the back of his shirt and hauled him backwards away from Danny.
