Chapter 11: Murphy's POV

Connor and I ran to the window and watched as she went down to the street. I was about to jump onto the rope and go down after her when Connor grabbed me.

"I have to go after her!" I shouted.

"Let her go! Are you crazy?!" Connor shouted back.

"She needs our help!"

"Looks like she has taken another turn. Who ever she works for wants us dead." Connor argued.

"If you noticed she didn't use a gun." I argued back.

"What is to stop her next time when she corners just one of us?!"

"You know what happened to her. Why are you being like this!?" I shouted.

"Because she just attacked us! Maybe this has been planned since she met us!"

"For Fucks sake listen to yourself." I argued.

"When you get yourself hurt, don't come to me looking for help." Connor said and walked off.

Autumn's POV:

I went to my apartment and packed everything as fast as I could. I couldn't stay here as long as I had before. It didn't matter then. No one knew I was here, but now that Murphy and Connor know, they are sure to come after me. I just tried to kill them of course they won't come greet me with open arms. I grabbed everything I could and put them in my car for the second time.

I decided to stay in a motel that wasn't too far away, but far away enough at the same time. I got into my room and set my bag down before crashing on the bed. It didn't matter much about being secretive anymore.

All that matter was I had to kill Murphy and Connor. My sister's life was depending on it. I knew Pietro would use her as leverage if need be. I picked up the motel phone and called Pietro.

"Yes?"

"Letting you know where to reach me, although I'm sure you would have found out anyways."

"I'm assuming that since I'm not seeing the proclaimed, 'Boondock Saints' on my TV they are still breathing..."

"It'll be done."

"It better. Daniel will be there within the hour." The click came and I hung up the phone.

I paced in my room as I needed a plan. I needed to find out the next target area or where they would be staying. As soon as I figured that out, I could make my next move. The knock finally came at my door. I opened it and let Daniel inside.

"This won't take long." He said as he pulled out some papers. "Did you see this guy with them?" I looked at the picture and nodded.

"Yeah I remember seeing him. Only for a glimpse though." I answered.

"His name is Rocco. The MacManus brothers were seen at his house. I think they are crashing there." He informed me and I nodded.

"I heard a little about Rocco, but never met him." I said and he handed me a list.

"You should know most of where they hang out, but we got a list of some extra places we noticed. I would try Rocco's. Now that your cover is blown, I guess it doesn't matter if you just blast in there as yourself." He said.

"That's the problem. It would have been easier if they never knew it was me." I replied.

Daniel headed to the door without another word.

"Hey Daniel," He turned around. "What am I suppose to do about Rocco?"

He smirked. "Leave him to me. He is my target."

I looked at myself in the mirror. My fingers went through my blonde curls and it was hard to look at myself. I had become the monster I dreaded. I wanted this to end. I wanted to be with Murphy, but I couldn't think like this. I couldn't have a soul. I couldn't think. I couldn't love. How do you choose between two people you care about? I didn't have a choice anymore. My mind was made up.

I sat outside of Rocco's apartment. The lights were on. I looked at the pay phone from time to time waiting for Daniel's call. Eventually the ringing came. I got out of my car and answered it.

"Hello?"

"I'm on the rooftop and have a clear sight of most of the rooms." He responded.

"I'll be in there within 20 minutes. Keep your sights on me."

"No problem there sweetheart." I rolled my eyes and hung up the phone.

I got back into my car and put my guns in their proper holsters. I put my jacket on to hide the guns and waited outside by the step. I lit a cigarette as I waited for someone to open the doors. It only took about five minutes until someone came out. I put my cigarette out and walked quickly to the door. I stepped inside and went up to Rocco's floor. The hall was empty with my luck.

"204, 205, 206..." I said to myself quietly. I stopped when I found his door. I looked around at the hall again to make sure no one was around. I stood at the side of the door to make sure I wasn't in view of the peephole. I took my guns out and knocked on the door. I heard footsteps coming to the door. They stopped and it was followed by muttering. They started to walk away and I banged on the door again.

"For Fucks sake!" I heard Rocco shout and he opened the door.

I put the gun to his head and his eyes widened.

"Keep your hands up and keep your voice low." I said keeping my voice low.

"Who is at the door Rocco?" Murphy called.

His voice made my heart sink but I had to keep it out of my mind. I had to do a job whether I liked it or not.

"Lead the way my good man." I smirked.

Rocco led me to the kitchen reluctantly. I stepped from behind Rocco and Connor and Murphy stood up instantly.

"What the fuck are you doing Autumn?!" Murphy asked shocked.

"What I have to do to keep my sister alive."

"Your sister?" Connor asked.

"Get over there." I told Rocco. Rocco stood in front of the far window. I pretty much gave Daniel a freebie.

"You don't have to do this Autumn." Murphy said trying to take a step forward.

"Not this shit again Murphy. I can't go back now. I can't." I said. "I've become what I feared I would. I'm a monster."

"Aut-"

"There is no other way. If I don't do what they say they are going to kill my sister and then they will kill me." I interrupted Murphy.

Connor pulled his gun followed by Rocco. "Put the gun down Autumn."

I pointed one gun at Rocco and one at Connor.

"Now!" He yelled at me.

"I don't want to do this..." I started muttering to myself.

Murphy looked at me with pleading eyes. "Please Autumn. We'll help you." Murphy pleaded.

"We'll help you Autumn, but no tricks." Connor added.

"You promise... You'll keep me safe and help me find my sister."

"We promise." They said at the same time.

I looked out the window and saw Daniel barely with his sights on me.

"I...I don't..." I started to lower my guns.

The glass beside me shattered and I screamed in pain. I felt Connor tackle after me and pushed the guns away.

"Autumn!" Murphy shouted as he slid beside me. Rocco ducked behind the wall away from the window.

I screamed in pain as blood oozed from my bullet wound. I didn't know what was going on anymore. My partner had shot me and I didn't know if he was on his free will... or if Pietro had set me up to fail...
