The guys showed up and were already fighting. "Are they always like this?" Duffy asked and I shrugged. "You didn't get this from a movie did ya?" Duffy asked and I was getting into my harness when he told us yes. "Are you fucking serious? You can't come up with your own shit?" I said and they noticed I was getting ready too. "What you doing? You can't come down with us like this?" I paused and stared at them. "Why the fuck not?" "Cause, they going to start shooting and all you got are knives, you should've stayed with Romeo and came in with him."
I took out a knife and pointed at Conner. "Get out your gun and let's see who's right." I snapped and Murphy pushed my hand down. "It's too late Conner, just let her come." He said and Conner was about to say something, but the lift stopped. Greenly didn't know what happened and said it would take a minute to get it going again. "Romeo doesn't have that time." I said and we started counting lengths of rope, we were going to have to work it out now.
We took out knives to cut the rope and then jumped off. I saw my cousin see us coming and took off running, we cut the ropes and they shot a hole into the windows before we crashed into them, I was on Murphy's side and rolled, throwing knives, hitting a few guys at a time as they shot them over and over, sliding across the room.
Romeo kicked the door in and started shooting the others; my cousin was running toward his room. I rolled out of the way and threw a knife at him, hitting his thigh, but he didn't stop. I saw him run into his guy and the guy made it in, but he didn't. Everyone else was dead and I stood up and ran over to him. "You Bitch!" he said and I punched him, but Murphy stopped me from throwing a knife at him.
They put him on his knees and pulled out necklaces, then held their guns to the back of his head. I got in front of him and looked him in the eyes, my knife at his throat. "Did you tell anyone that I was here?" "Why would I tell you!" he spat and I sighed. "You didn't." I said simply and stood up. He looked at me wide eyed and then held up his hands.
"Marietta, we're family! Help me!" he said and I turned back to him and nodded at Murphy and Conner to start their prayer. "We might be family, but I want something different. Goodbye." Then they finished and pulled the triggers, killing him. I sighed and sank to the ground in relief. "I'm free." I whispered and Murphy came over to me. Romeo said something but I ignored him.
We went back to Docs and they cleaned their guns and I cleaned my knives. "These are so great. I'm glad I came with you guys to get new stuff." I said and they chuckled. After a while the door opened and Greenly came in, grabbed his junk and yelled, "Sac-O-Manic I said!" we laughed and suddenly there was a gunshot and Greenly gasped and fell to the ground.
Murphy and Conner jumped behind the counter and I flipped over the end of it, then remembered Doc and got up to see the guy holding a knife to his throat and a gun to us. Murphy and Conner tossed their guns over and the guy turned to me. "Who's this? A woman? Oh well. Which one I kill first? Which one you love more?" he asked and I grabbed a knife and went to throw it, but he turned his gun and shot at me once, then we heard a silencer and he screamed, dropping the gun.
I yelled and grabbed my side in pain and saw I was bleeding. I saw their father walk in, holding the gun that shot the little man. Murphy, Conner and I ran over to Greenly, who was bleeding everywhere and dying fast. "Call 911 DOC!" Conner said and Greenly said no. "It's over." He gasped and I started crying already, ignoring the pain in my side. "Proudest day of my life." He said and turned to me. "Don't cry Marietta." He breathed and gasped a few times and was gone.
I looked away and saw the guy taking a gun from their father. I waved my hand in front of the guys and they stood up too, as they pointed guns at each others heads. "Easy boys" he said and Conner and Murphy ran and grabbed their guns after the man pulled the trigger and it clicked. "Daddy's working." He said and they backed off, but said whatever happens, he dies tonight.
He pulled the trigger and his gun clicked. They fell to the ground, praying and I found myself staring at the scene. I felt out of place, but my feet were glued to the floor and I couldn't look away. The man cocked his gun and mumbled something, then pulled the trigger, but the gun clicked again. He kept asking where someone was and cocked his gun, the guy started to look scared, but still said no and he pulled the trigger and the gun went off, shooting him right in the forehead.
Murphy and Conner both let out breaths of relief and I could finally move, I sank to the ground in pain and Murphy looked over and saw a small puddle of blood beside me. "Oh shit!" he said and crawled over, I tried to smile. "It's nothing, just a graze." I said and he moved my hand and saw it. The bullet didn't fully hit me, but didn't miss completely. "Let's get you to a hospital." He said and helped me up, but I shook my head. "No, I'll be alright."
We went to Romeo's uncle's place and he patched me up, and then showed us all to a back room. He gave us drinks and closed the doors, leaving us alone to talk. Murphy was holding my hand and their father looked at me. "This is the woman that attacked me?" I smiled and held out my hand. "I'm sorry about stabbing you." I said and he chuckled. "I'm sorry about shooting you." I nodded and Murphy rubbed my shoulder.
"A mark is left?" "I already had a couple scars, what's a couple more." I giggled and he nodded, and then said he was sorry to his sons. He said he had to tell them a few things and I stood up. "This seems like a family matter, I'll go see about getting a snack from Romeo's uncle." Before they could say anything, I hurried out, shutting the door behind me. I sat with them and my stomach growled. "I'll get you something to eat." Romeo said and went back into the back to cook something up for me.
His uncle sat next to me and smiled at me. "Are you alright my dear, the wound did look deeper than you said." "I know it is, I just don't want to worry the others. I get a scratch and they think anything is too dangerous for me. You won't say anything to them will you?" "Of course not." I thanked him and Romeo came back with some food. "I really don't feel like Mexican Romeo, it's fine though, I'm not really that hungry." "I'll go get you something." Before I could say anything, he hurried out of the place and I sighed.
"They act like I'm a girl that can't take care of herself." I said and he chuckled. "They just want to look after you." "How long to do you think they will be?" I asked and he shrugged. "They can take as long as they need; I'm closed for a while because of that crime scene thing." I nodded and sighed. "I'm sorry about that." "It's fine, I understand the reasons." He touched my hand and smiled.
"Don't worry so much, just try to get better. It's over now." "No." "What?" "It's not over yet, I thought it was, but from what happened tonight and the look their father had on, saying it was his fault, and there is something else. I feel it." he looked at the doors and then back at me. "Are you sure?" "Yeah." "Will you try to help them?" "Of course, why wouldn't I?" I asked and he looked away from me, then back. "You shouldn't be trying to fight with this wound, that's all." I watched him closely and made him look me in the eyes. "What is it?" "You just seem to be glowing. Like…" I jumped off the stood and stared at him. "That's not possible. I haven't…that's just not right, it doesn't add up." I said, backing away from him.
"I could be wrong, but I have seen this glow many times." I stared at him and then heard the door opened and the guys walk out, then Romeo came back with some bags. I was staring at his uncle, then Murphy, then the floor. I hurried back over to the man and whispered in his ear, "Don't say anything, I'll get checked out if you swear you won't." he nodded and I sighed, sitting on a chair.
It's not possible; I mean there is no way.
