The brawl had quickly turned bad for Lauren, who was now facing two angry confederates, one of whom had started grappling with him. He knew from experience that pulling out his knife would be a bad idea, sure it could intimidate or end the fight fast, but the sheriff was right in front of him. 

Thankfully, his table partner grabbed the half-faced man, allowing him to focus entirely on the girl. As they wrestled, Lauren noticed her legs were bent and apart to give her extra leverage, it also made her... lower body a target.

Lauren shoved her back a second, re-positioning his leg in preparation, and then shot his foot upwards. A common misconception, he noted, was that women felt a kick in that area less then a man did, however true that might be, it was more than enough to incapacitate an opponent of either gender.
