King of Hearts
Chapter 69 – Whore at War.
Twig's POV, Los Angeles.
Everything was dark and blurry. My car was smoking from under the hood and my skull rested against the wheel. With the horn blaring and blood running out from under my head, I opened my eyes slowly to hear the sound of a truck pulling up alongside my drivers side door.
"Ughhh." I groaned as I began to hear the driver get out from the truck.
Looking out my busted window, I took notice at a thin pair of legs marching my way.
In agony from the hit still, I was unable to move as my attacker knelt down to look inside at me.
It took my one good eye I minute to recognize the face, but it soon came to me that it was Don Cora's Underboss Lilith. Her face held a smile as she stated.
"Damn your one tough bastard. Still breathing huh?"
With the pain of a dislocated foot and the wrap around my face wearing thin, I panicked as she ripped open my door to reach in at my side.
"Let's go big boy. Time to end this."
Pulling me by taking a hold of my body from under my arms, I growled as she took no care to watch my foot.
"Aghhh!" I shouted as it was nearly completely dislocated from my leg.
Pinning me to the ground under her, I held in my pain fulled moans and focused solely on her.
Giving me a soft smile as I tried to catch my breath, I could only listen as she said.
"I thought you would be tougher then this Twig. That's your name right? For some reason Don Cora said it was mummy boy. Heheh."
A strong growl overcame me as she laughed deeply at my pain.
With one good leg, I sent it right into her right ankle forcing her to fall to her one knee in front of me. Not soon after she reacted to my kick, did I sent my foot straight into her chest kicking her back into my destroyed car.
After hitting the back of her head did I take notice at the sound of incoming sirens. Someone must have called the cops.
Refocusing my attention, I looked to see her struggling to get back up. Only after that moment did I reach down for my right foot and grab onto the weak bone.
My only option now was to put it back in place and that I did with one swift push and turn of my whole foot.
"Crack! Pop!"
The sound of my bone and cartilage made me want to vomit, and the pain was no submissive to it all. But as I regained my power to move was I cut off by Lilith who went to reach for her gun that was under her shirt.
"Your fucking dead!" She stated as I quickly forced my way back onto my feet and towards the pickup truck that was only a few feet away.
"BANG! BANG! BANG!"
Almost nearly not reaching it's safety was I able to jump into the back hatch and stay safely away from the incoming bullets sent from her gun.
"Stay still!" She ordered as I heard her getting up from the ground.
Taking my chance to move, I fell over the other end of the hatch and made my way forward towards a junky looking hotel across the street. With her anger at a boil and the cops not far from the scene, I limped for the door and pushed my way through into a small old lady who was coming towards me. Nearly sending her to the floor, I looked back to see Lilith taking aim once more.
"BANG! BANG!"
Ducking as her bullets flew by my head, I ran my way to the back door and out into the nearby alley. I was running on full adrenaline now as made a right and proceeded back to the main road.
With distance between us and the cops pulling close, I took a look at my jacket and undid the buttons.
Forcefully pulling it off my body, I sent it into a nearby dumpster and looked back to see Lilith looking both ways till she saw me turning out of the alley.
"Twig!" She shouted as I used what energy I had to limp my way forward.
Wiping my face of blood and nearing an intersection, I looked to my left to find a small community bank full of people who were unaware of the crazy bitch coming my way.
After disposing my gun into a nearby trashcan resting along the street, did I sprint towards its doors to be seen by Lilith who was just reaching the intersection behind me.
"Your not getting away from me!" She stated in anger as I pushed through the doors to shout.
"Everyone get down! She has a gun!" I shouted at the top of my lungs as I made a break for the middle of the crowd who was now getting down to their belles like me.
Placing my body down to the floor, I breathed heavily to see Lilith making her way in between the front door with her gun aimed along the tellers.
"Where is he!?" She asked in rage as I kept my eyes to the carpet.
With her anger blinding her, Lilith was caught off guard as local law enforcement drove onto the street behind her. Nearly four patrol cars cornered her at the front door as she turned around to see the men in blue to aim.
"Drop your weapon!" They ordered as she looked back into the bank to see me smiling from the ground.
"You fucker...!" Raising her gun to me, I watched in shock and awe as one of the officers outside sent a bullet into her back.
"BANG!"
The force of the round sent her down in a thump along the front door and I was staring at her motionless body as officers approached to cuff her from behind.
Keeping my eyes on her, it was clear she was out cold from the hit.
"Dispatch the 3-11 has been confirmed. And the suspect is down. Bringing her in." Stated an officer as they began to drag Lilith away.
Not soon after this was everyone in the bank approach by fellow men in blue who asked.
"Is everyone okay?"
Lilith's POV.
With blood oozing down my back and my eyes losing focus, I heard from behind me.
"Is everyone okay?"
Moving my limping head to my side, I was able to look back into the bank to see Twig gone from the crowd.
Letting out one last smile, I passed out.
Another chapter up. Please leave a review and let me know what you think.
