Edison heard some cries from and alley and he peered down it, a group of men were trying to drag off a woman and her child.  Edison bristled and ran forward throwing a punch with full force towards the man holding the lady.  He felt the hoodlums jaw shatter under his strong blow and watched him drop.  Edison then felt another hand grab his shoulder and spun seeing that the other attacker had come to the aid of his friend, Edison slammed his head forward ramming the mans nose into his face and up into his brain causing him to drop as well.  "run!" Edison told the woman who scooped up her child as the mechanic tried to catch his breath and began dragging the two limp figures into the shadows wondering what prompted this.
