Chapter 14
Slow Motion
The next few minutes felt like an eternity it all unfolded in slow motion. As the doors burst open Harm was aware of the scene unfolding he pulled Mac close as Mac threw herself next to him. Harm was in no condition to fight, he held Mac close, he knew she would fight, she was a fighter, he knew she would try to protect both of them and their daughters.
From an outsider's perspective it probably looked like a scene from a cheesy drama as Mac raced to Harm's side and they held each other. As the door burst open and more armed men raced in Mac could feel Harm holding her not wanting her to fight. Mac had to fight it was not only part of her Marine instincts, but she had to do it, to protect Harm and their daughters. She turned to fight she knew the odds were against her, but she had to. Mac was able to unarm the first man grabbing him by the wrist she twisted his arm, he let out a yelp in pain and dropped his gun. Mac picked up the gun and hit him in the back of the head. Mac turned to defend herself from the second man but already found him on the ground, Harm had knocked him down. She took the gun and aimed at the third man, she fired…and hit him square in the chest. As the third man collapsed to the ground, Mac's skin felt like it was on fire, she knew the feeling … she had been shot. She didn't know which of the three men still standing shot her, but Mac fell to the ground clutching the gunshot wound. She heard another gun being fired before it all fell dark.
Harm watched as Mac crumbled to the ground he struggled to crawl to her side. Everything slowed down and seemed to draw on forever. Was this how he and Mac were going to die? It was more like the ending to an old fashion war movie, except life wasn't a script. Just before blanking out he heard more gun shots being fired and in his final seconds he hoped Victor came through and saved his daughters…his last thoughts drifted to his daughters and Mac.
Victor followed the sound of gunshots and found Harm and Mac on the ground, without hesitation he fired his gun. First at the man with his gun poised in the direction of Mac and then at the other two men flanking him. He was shooting to kill, he did not want them to get back up and fire again. Victor knelt down by Harm and Mac and checked for a pulse, they both had one but it was faint, he had to get them to the hospital. He heard a pair of footsteps rushing up the steps, expecting it was more armed men he turned around and aimed, but stopped when he saw the twins standing in the doorframe.
"MOM! DAD!" They cried, they looked at Victor fear written across their face.
"Their alive but we have to get them to a hospital. I am going to move your dad do you think you two can carry your mom?" The twins nodded as Victor in one swift movement picked Harm up and swung him above his shoulders, Lucy and Natalie struggled to pick their mom up, but the adrenaline aided them, as they were able to carry their mom out to the truck.
"Please hold on!" The girls pleaded as they got into the truck and took off for the hospital.
What do you think? I will update sometime this week…I promise I will because I want to get this story done for y'all!
