Lights of Las Vegas

By Cat

Chapter: five

Mary...

I don't know if I should tell him. It seems to be the right thing to do, as it does not to. Mary thought as she changed into her night dress. I wonder what Jennifer could be up to though. It seems very suspicious. Probably for the money. Why Luis and Danny's father though? Could it just be a coincidence? Or is I something to get back at Danny... or Ed... Mary sighed as she flopped down on her bed. She looked out the window silently before looking at the diamond engagement ring on her finger.

She closed her eyes for a moment and stretched. A few moments later Danny entered. He placed a gentle kiss on her forehead before pulling the covers over her and looking at her for a minute. He studied her features; her lips, her hair and her closed eyes. When they were open they were a brilliant shade of brown, when they were closed Danny could only stare at what might be hiding behind the eyelids. Mary's eyes were Danny's favourite feature, a few male friends had always insinuated otherwise but Danny knew that they were only joking. He smiled gently as he sat down on the bed next to her and took hold of her hand.

Suddenly a crash of glass and spray of bullets entered the room. Mary screamed awake and sat up as Danny's limp body fell on her. More bullets suddenly entered the room and she ducked behind the other side of the bed, dragging with her the body of her lover.

"Danny..." She whispered quietly a she gently shook him.

"Mary..." Danny whispered in a raspy voice as he opened his eyes slightly.

"It's gonna be okay." Mary whispered as she brushed his hair away, leaving a brief trail of blood across his face. She began to sob.

"Hey..." Danny whispered back. "Of course it's going to be okay." He sat up briefly as the bullets stopped. "Call the police." Danny said as he reached for his mobile phone. He leaned against the bed and covered his wounds with a blanket Mary had just pulled from the closet.

"Yeah. I need an ambulance here as soon as possible. Yeah, shot." Mary said as calmly as she could. She looked down at her fiancé before gasping as she saw his closed eyes. She through the phone to the side.

"Hello? Hello?" The operator's voice called through the phone. "Are you still there?!"

"Danny..." She said gently with a slight shake. "Danny!" She cried as she began to sob over his body. "Danny! Please wake up!" Her muffled voice sounded through the blanket that covered his wounds.

Sirens were heard in the distance while Mary cried upon her lover's body. This was how the rescue and ambulance crew found her. This was how she remained until she was pried away from his body.
