DIEGO
My mind wasn’t fully sure about what had just happened as I struggled to keep my head as low as possible in the backseat with the glass shards that were raining all around me as the bullets went through the back glass.Finally we turned a corner and the bullets stopped flying past us. I looked at my fingers which were still tightly wrapped round the gun and it was visibly shaken, it was a surprise I hadn’t dropped it as I jumped into the car.Just like a switch my mind alerted me that I was in a car, an unknown car, who could have possibly risked their lives to save mine in such a moment as that.“Are you okay back there?” I heard a male voice come from the driver's seat.“I hope there’s nothing hurt. None of those bullets went through you right?”I aimed the gun directly at the seat in front of me as I got up to a sitting position so I could see who was talking to me. The face I saw through the windscreeKaugnay na kabanata

IRENEI couldn’t help but think of what an idiot I was, I mean I had just made up my mind not to think about him again this was barely 6 hours ago but that was all I could think of for the past 6 hours at work and even now that I was in the cab on my way back home. If I didn’t know better I would have felt this was a spell.The conversation we had kept replaying in my head and everytime it did I analyzed every aspect of it. The words that came out of his mouth, the tone of his voice that soothing baritone voice of his, every slight pause he took in the buildup to what he was about to say. He talked so slowly like the world was at his fingertips and he had no reason to rush because it would slow down for him, I have to admit sometimes it felt like it actually did slow down. Those dark eyes of his were so peculiar I don’t think I have ever seen eyes as dark as those before on any human, coupled with how his gaze bounced off every aspect of yo

IRENEAs I pushed my way into the house trying desperately not to make any noise I couldn’t help but think about the fact that this was how every horror movie went, a suspicious situation that had no business being investigated and then poof just like that, dead. With every step I took my trembling got worse.I remembered I kept two bats in the house, one directly by my bed just in the unlikely event an intruder broke in when I slept in the night I’d at least see something I could use to defend myself with and one just a few steps away from the door. Now that I was in the house I could see it resting on the wall right there in plain sight and I made my way towards it, picking it up and proceeding to the sitting room area where sounds were coming from.The house was structured in such a way that I couldn’t see the sitting room immediately I entered the hall and had to make a turn to the left before I could see anything. As I got closer I coul

IRENEI don’t think I had seen that much blood ever in my life, it looked like it was everywhere. It felt so warm and sticky at the same time and looked so dark red it would have made an excellent color for a red wine if it had been placed in a glass, but then it wasn’t in a glass, it was right there all over the floor board where I knelt and now as I looked at my hands I could see it had covered it to the extent I could not see the lines on my palms anymore.A woman was screaming in the far distance at the top of her lungs, her voice sounded very familiar. I kept looking around to see if I could see who it was but I could not make out who was making the sounds until my eyes met the television, it was at that point I knew or rather it was at that point my brain processed what exactly had just happened and it began replaying it in my head.Coming back in a fit from the store I had been forced to go to get groceries I had decided to give the t

IRENEI slowly came to as I heard voices murmuring in the distance. I was completely wrapped in the room's darkness, and for a brief moment I was unsure of where I was. The ringing at the back of my head felt unbearable and I was struggling to remember exactly what had happened. It all felt like a blur to me but one thing that I was sure of was I had been hit at the back of my head and then I went down. Slowly the memories began to come back to me as my mind began to clear, crashing like a tsunami into my consciousness. In that moment my heart I could feel my body become twice its normal weight and it felt like I was being weighed down by the burden I had felt barely some minutes before I woke up.It dawned on me, a ruthless knowledge that pierced my heart like a blade. I could recall. My good friend's life had been cut short in that residence, and I had seen her lifeless body. Hers and that of her man. Oh dear God, who could have done this to us? Th

IRENEI kept on rotating the gun back and forth between them, my mind racing and coming up with conclusions on its own. I hated this new feeling so much and it was not a situation i liked being in, i turned my attention to Diego now as he stood there in the doorway.“You have always had that fight in you, I should have anticipated this. We both know your heart will not allow you to do anything with that gun so how about you put it down, we can sit down and talk this out ” He said, with somewhat of a smirk on his face.“Why do you say that? You do not even know me, you do not know who I am and you sure as hell do not know what I am capable of.” I snapped at him, the anger evident in my eyes. Who was he to tell me what I would and could not do? “I know you better than you think” he said again, this time his face had taken an extremely serious look. “Just give me the gun Irene.”He was walking towards

DIEGOI felt the pain before I heard the sound of the gunshot. I knew what had happened but for a brief moment I was in denial. As i looked down to my stomach i kept on thinking to myself There was definitely no way Irene had shot me.Looking down I saw the blood stain gradually begin to grow on my blue shirt exactly where there was a new hole.In that moment my world was blurred with pain as the blood flowed from my stomach, staining my clothes and pooling beneath me. Each breath became a struggle, and it was a fight to maintain consciousness. His vision danced with darkness, the edges of my perception fading into an abyss.I could hear myself utter the words “fuck” as my knees buckled and i fell on them to the ground. The gun slipped out of Irene’s hands as she stood rooted to the spot for a brief moment in shock, looking at her I knew she had not meant to shoot me. I allowed myself to smile at her to at least provide a littl

DIEGOThe sun hitting my eye made me squint as I woke up, instinctively I attempted to get up to close the blinds but the sharp pain that preceded my quick reaction sent me rolling to the ground. My guts felt like they were on fire, I then remembered of course they were on fire I had just been shot some hours ago. I must have passed out, I concluded as I picked myself off the floor to look around the room. I recognized the room of this safe house I had bought some years back. The safe houses had become a lot over the years due to my paranoia that I had forgotten how some of them even looked. Wait a minute this was not where we were when the shooting happened so how did we end up here?Looking down at my injury as I sat at the edge of the bed I realized this just confirmed my theory, it was not yet my time to die. Nick must have not realized I had woken up yet even after the loud bang, I finally gathered enough strength to walk ove

Nick had just gotten out of the apartment when he realized he had forgotten his coat but then again he knew if he went back up there he might be interrupting something so he decided to brave it and just keep on walking, the cold was not that much anyway it was already close to summer.He stopped by the coffee shop down the street to at least grab a hot beverage to keep himself moderately warm inside. As he sat eating the croissants he thought about how wild the past couple of days had been. He definitely did not think he would be saving Diego Gustavo anytime this week, everything had happened so fast and now he was close to one of the biggest clandestine crime bosses in all of New york. Things were beginning to take a wild turn and it would just become wilder from here hopefully he could make it into the inner circle.Collecting the coffee he had ordered to go he paid the barista and walked out of the shop taking one gentle sip and taking in the toxic sme
