Chapter 14
“One down!” Aria gushed out, her gaze focused on the second car which was at this point, almost at the same position as our car.
“Scoot back over here, Aria.” I demanded as I returned back to my former seat and set my gun ready before easing the door open and shooting the back tire a few times before aiming at the front tire which was right beside my face and shot it a few times before getting back into the car, the car which was once beside us in speed slowed down immediately and came to a sudden halt.
“Yesssss! We did it, we’re safe!” Aria started to gush out in excitement as she bounced up and down on the car seat. Before I could formulate a reply, I felt our own car slow down.
“Lucas? What’s happening?” I demanded frantically
“Shit, they definitely shot at our tires too and now we’re all stuck here together.” Lucas muttered as he tried moving the car to no avail. Glancing behind, I counted up to five guys who were dressed like the guys I took down in my office. They were all walking towards our cars with guns in their hands.
“Holy shit, these are the guys that attacked us back there at the office!” Aria stated like we haven’t figured that part out already.
“Grab the guns in the passenger seat, Lucas. We’re hopping down to fight off these idiots.” I informed Lucas as I knelt down on the floor and shoved my hands under the back seat of the car and pulled out bigger machine guns.
“Here.” I handed two of the smaller guns to Aria who went white in the next instance as she glanced at the guns on her thighs with horror painting her face white. “What? Why are you giving me a gun? I’ve never hurt even animals in my entire life except a few annoying cockroaches and flies, how do you expect me to go out there with you guys to shoot those people who looked pissed off, how?”
“Do you wanna die?” I demanded, a glare marring my face.
“I don’t,” She replied quietly.
“Then you’re going to remain in here alone while Lucas and I go fight off the bad guys, if anyone of them tries to come in here and they succeed in getting the door or window open, you’re going to shoot them or die. Understand?”Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
“I’m- I’m-…” Aria started to say, her voice rising and falling in fright. Lord, I don’t even have time for this to begin with.
“You’re not dying, Aria. You’re going to lock the doors as we exit the car and hold onto the gun for protection. I don’t want you dying on me, okay?”
She nodded her head immediately, her eyes wide in fright. I wanted to take her into my arms and soothe the fright away and tell her that she was going to be safe and that I wasn’t going to let a thing happen to her but I couldn’t since some people outside our car wanted me dead for some still unknown reason.
“Let’s go, Lucas,” I said as I slid out the car the same time Lucas did, slamming the door shut behind us, I glanced behind me for a second and nodded at Aria who was gazing at me through the window before she stretched her hand forward and locked the whole doors by clicking on a particular button on the driver’s door.
Nodding at Lucas, we both walked towards the five well armed guys until we were a few feet before them.
“Who the fuck are you?” Lucas demanded, his voice loud and clear. The streets were empty of people who probably saw us shooting each other’s tires and got scared for their own life.
“We want the girl.” One of the guys replied, his accent thick on the side.
“The fuck? Which girl?” I demanded angrily.
“Your sister, fucker. She belongs to the boss.” The one who seemed to be the leader replied immediately, his English a lot clearer than the first guy’s own.
“The fuck are you guys? The fuck your boss want my sister for? The fuck is your boss? The fuck does he wants me dead for? The fuck is wrong with you people?” I roared in anger as I cocked my gun and raised it up until I was pointing at the head of their leader. The remaining four guys raised their guns immediately and pointed it at me in return while the one whom I was facing only chuckled before deciding to speak up again.
“We can’t answer any of your questions, just that our boss wants your sister. We’re to end you since you’re the wall stopping the boss from coming to take his bride himself. I’d say you should hand the girl over and move on with your life but nah, the girl is probably captured already at this point and being taken into her future and the boss still wants you dead, so buh bye, Auden.” The leader among the armed men concluded before walking a few steps backwards and digging out his gun.
Before he could cock it, I shot him in the forehead and shot the two people on his left in their chests and heads while dodging their own billets right before they all collapsed on the floor, the remaining two guys were lying on the floor too, courtesy of Lucas.
“Who is your fucking boss?” I demanded as I fell to my knees beside one of the men who wasn’t dead yet but was coughing out blood and wiggling around on his back like a wounded snake.
He coughed out more blood in reply and I punched him on his mouth out of anger and watched as the fucker coughed out more blood before he stopped moving. Shooting him in the forehead to ensure he was really dead, I pushed myself to my feet, my left hand groaning in pain as I head back to my car with Lucas beside me.
