~Kaylee~
We rushed out of the car and into the building. "Angel, what floor?" Niks demanded. Angel replied and she motioned for level 4 and we all rushed for the stairs, Niks edging ahead. I took my gun from my hip holster. I was getting annoyed as I was behind Danny and Don and they just didn't move as fast as me.
"Come on guys let me get past!" Don side stepped a little and I bolted past him. There was a gun shot and my blood ran cold. What if it was Niks or Angel that had been shot? I burst through the door just as Kieran made for the fire escape and Niks collapsed against the wall. My heart skipped a beat, but she didn't give me a chance to check on her.
"Go! Angel can take care of me. Just go." The rest of her words drowned out as I slipped out the window and raced up the stairs. This son of a bitch best hope she's ok. I thought as I reached the roof. He was by the edge.
"Kieran don't do anything stupid. Just come back we can sort things out."
"I just killed a cop!" He screamed. He best pray she ain't dead.
"No she's fine, we just need to talk with you come on." He started to walk towards me, I lowered my gun some to seem less threatening. He was almost to me when Don and Danny charged on to the roof. Then Kieran high tailed it and jumped. I ran forward to see him scrambling to keep hold of the building next door. Then he pulled himself up and set off running again.
"Shit, did you see that?" Don said. As I ran back towards them, I always thought the long jump that I was so good at back at high school would never come in handy for anything. That is until I turned and ran forward. "Kaylee!" Don shouted just as I jumped. I hit the roof opposite and rolled scraping up both my arms, feeling the sting. I pushed up on to my feet and ran for the roof door. I always have and always will get my man. He was a few flights of stairs a head of me when I heard him.
"You son of a bitch." A door opened and closed and I tried to speed up taking steps three and four at a time I was definitely going to break my neck at this rate. I barged through the door in time to see them scuffling for control of the gun.
"Hai sparato mia sorella ho intenzione di cazzo ti ammazzo!" Angel snapped out. Then the gun went off and he dropped to the floor.
"ANGEL!" I cried out. Kieran began to run and I dropped down to my knees to steady my aim, I pulled the trigger and he crumpled to the floor. I had aimed for the back of his knee and hit my mark. Danny ran through and pulled his radio out saying he'd found us. I didn't hear what else he had to say as I cradled Angel's head in my lap. There was blood everywhere I wasn't sure where he was bleeding from just that his breathing was ragged.
"Angel, Damn sé mac tú de soith! Ná fucking bás ar dom!" I felt the tears wanting to come as I slipped out of my blazer noting my own bloody arms and pressing it to his wound. His eyes flickered open and he got that stupid smile of his that I had always thought was so cute.
"See bambino, Sapevo che mi ami ancora." I knew enough from my fling with him to know what he was saying.
"Fuck you, I thought you were dying. Nika would have my head in a basket for letting it happen." Don came through then as I propped Angel up against the wall.
"Kaylee! Shit look at the state of your arms." He said pulling me up and turning them over carefully to see how damaged they were.
"It's ok just grazed is all. Could be worse." I smiled at him and felt a flutter in my stomach at the concern on his face.
"Damn, you do this Kaylee?" Danny asked smirking as he helped support a cuffed Kieran towards us.
"Hell yeah I did, shoots my best friend and then her brother. It was the least I could do." I said only half-jokingly; in Miami I may have shot to kill, but I didn't know these people all that well and it probably wouldn't have gone over well. The paramedics came up then and took care of Angel. Danny went with Kieran to the hospital and Don drove me so we could get my arms cleaned up. An hour later my arms were bandaged up to prevent infection. Don hadn't left my side as we waited on Niks and Danny was just pacing. Kieran was in surgery as well as Niks and Angel.
"Danny sit down, believe it or not this is quite a normal thing to happen, she gets shot and I usually break something. She'll be fine and seriously she'll be back on her feet in a day." He sat down and took off his glasses rubbing the bridge of his nose.
"I'm going to get a coffee, anyone want a coffee?" I shook my head and so did Don.
"Don't mind him, he'll be fine when she gets out." He smiled his dimples showing again and took my hand. Which I hadn't expected. "You know that was pretty reckless of you on the roof. One you took off without us and look how that ended for Niks. Then you take a flying leap off the roof. I didn't think you'd make it." His voice was dripping with concern and I turned to say something smart ass and make him laugh but I got lost in his ocean blue eyes. Before I realised it we were both leaning into each other our lips millimetres away, I heard a door open and closed my eyes ready to kiss him.
"Hey what the hell did I say about flirting! Dicendomi di non flirtare ancora si sta per pomiciata suo faccia!" She smirked as they wheeled her past.
"Greim orm Niks." She just laughed as we got up to follow her to her room Don taking my hand as we did.
