Noah slowly became aware of what was happening. His nose was bleeding and he was crying, but the money had already been taken from his pocket. And then all of a sudden a large figure loomed behind his attackers and the man holding him let go as he was fighting Quentin's stranglehold.

Noah sank down, feeling terrible. "I'm sorry," he whimpered. It made blood run into his mouth and he spat it out.
