"You piece of crap set us up!" Ray yelled loudly cocking his gun from Cruz to me, eyeing Cruz's gun which was now out a set on him.
"Listen…put the gun down." Cruz replied, her eyes flickered from is large gun which was now aimed at her to his angry face. "Look…we can settle this." She tried to negotiate.
My heart raced quickly as I grinded my teeth wishing to god I had my own gun. Two machine guns verse one .38 doesn't look all too good in my perspective. The sirens grew louder quickly sounding like they were just outside the window. Oh god…hurry up damn it! We need help now!
"No! No we can't!" Ray yelled back at Cruz his eyes filled with frenzy and rage. "And you bastard," He paused turning to me, "What did you tell her huh? Something in a code or shit?"
My stomach twisted into a knot at those words as Ray's gun was now settled at me. Straight at my head, eye level to the nose. There was nothing more to do then stand there and wait. "No. No. I-we didn't do anything! Honest to god. They must have realized we were missing. And since we were dealing with you two jag-offs, they got a clue." I lied though my teeth.
"Likely story, well, now you both will be sorry," Ray said. My eyes flickered to Cruz quickly and then back to Ray not knowing what the hell to do. It wasn't like you can run or hide anywhere, they were blocking out our only exit. And the only materialistic thing in the room was a few card board boxes and a chair that wasn't going to help when you have fifteen bullets soaring in your direction at once.
"Ray…don't kill um. If ya do, what we gonna do then huh? The police are coming. I don't wanna go to then slammer Ray. I wont last there long! You know what they do to people like us?" Freddie's wimpy voice chimed in one breath. What a mouth full. Ray turned his head towards Freddie, a pure pissed expression coaxed his face, his gun still in position.
"Don't tell me what to do or Ill shoot ya brains out as well!" He yelled back causing Freddie to shudder and lower his gun. Why, I didn't have a clue. At least we were dealing with one dumb ass. Could be worse. Ray looked back at me and Cruz with a small smirk that would be plastered into my brain forever, a haunting image. "Notice how we always win? This position is just so similar from the last. This time, you aint coming out of this alive. You were lucky last time. Now your luck has worn thin. But I gave ya a warning. Don't say I didn't."
"Look! I told yah! You took it all!" Cruz pleaded not knowing what more to do, her color drained out of her face. This was the first time in a long time I had seen her wear a nervous expression. Even the tone and shakiness of her voice told me she was terrified, almost as scared as me. And now there was nothing to do about it. She was telling the truth.
"Sure." Ray said simply nodding insanely. "And now, your friend's going to have to pay!" He yelled his gun aimed at me. "Too bad. Too sad it had to be this way." Ray made sure it was fully loaded and cocked it at me. That once noise that played over and over in my ears.
"Don't shoot!" Cruz's voice filled with fear and horror echoed in my head as both guns went off in the matter of two damn seconds. Then the only thing that surrounded me was silence and the scent of blood. I was completely numb.
TBC… Okay! I'm sorry. It's really short. Don't you like my endings? The last chapter will be up soon! Keep reviewing.
