"He saw West's fists doubled and hard, saw the animal look that had come on Belazi's face, and again the knife, threatening and sharp. . .The noise grew louder and Rick grasped in his mind for a picture of the Roman arena, tried to to rise, felt pain sear through his right arm. . .He's cut me, he thought with panic. Belazi has cut me. . .THIS IS IT. . .THIS IS REALLY IT."
