Eerie silent take over the room as they stare at Kayla in shock. “What the fuck are you doing here?” Harley gasp, her hold on Granny Vera tighten, piercing her nails into her rough skin.
The old woman’s whimpers which make Kayla bite her lips in anger.
“Huh, what do you mean by that? you held my friend and her family hostage, it’s natural that I should be here to take them, don’t you agree with me?” Kayla replies with a shrug, her aim on the trigger tightening as she gives Mia a dark stare from the corner of her eyes.
Mia runs her hands through her hair. “Shit, you caused this. Why the hell did you let your little cousin get involved?” She stumps her foot on the floor, sending Harley a death glare. She grabs Melanie from the floor, her palms curling around Melanie’s neck and presses her neck until her fingers leave an imprint on her skin. She spits on Melanie’s face and pushes her to the wall.
Melanie whimper as soon as her head collided with the wall. She groans in pain and quickly crawls back to her mother. Skye makes to rush up to Melanie but a guy pulls her back to his side, pinning her down, with his gun pointed at her neck.
“You’re a coward. I know all that happened. You taking your revenge on the weak makes you a coward, you can’t stand against your only enemy when you know that you don’t stand a chance. You’re a pathetic loser, only loser takes their anger on the innocent.” Kayla yells, tears rolling down the break of her eyes as she watches her friend and her family shivering in fear, with their heads bowed in defenceless.
“What did you just call me?” Mia’s gaze darts to Kayla at once, she picks up her pistol and tries walking up to Kayla but Harley abruptly jumps in front of her.
Harley stares at angry Mia from the corner of her eyes and grits her teeth nervously. She hates that her cousin is there, she doesn’t want her to get hurt by the men, and she can’t guarantee her safety either, not when Mia is there, watching everything. “You should leave before things get messier.” she hissed, her fingers curling around the gun, beads of sweat form on her forehead as she watches Mia grits her teeth angrily.
Kayla smirk while watching her evil cousin trying to defend her from her squad.”I’m not leaving here without them.” she says, smirking at Harley who is now trembling in fear.
“Just get the hell away from here, please. I don’t want you to get hurt.” Harley whispers, begging Kayla with her eyes because she doesn’t want Mia to hear what she’s saying to her cousin.
“Why should I…”
There comes a sound of a gunshot outside, startling them.
“What the fuck!” Mia yells, hitting the pistol on her forehead.
“Shit! That must be Alfred!” Kayla gasps, she loses her hold on the trigger and tries to look outside.
Harley realises what Kayla is about to do, she pushes Granny Vera to the nearest guy to her, and she hops and kicks the gun off Kayla’s hand. Kayla staggered and fall to the ground.
“Fuck you, Harley!” Kayla yells, seeing her gun six feet away from her.
Harley ignores Kayla who is groaning on the floor, she glances and Mia who is staring at her weirdly.Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.
“Guys! Take the backdoor and leave!” Harley yells to her squad, with her gun pointing at Kayla.
Kayla hissed and hit her fist on the marble floor.
“You fucking bitch!” she groans.
“What did you think you’re doing?” Mia scream from the back, panting heavily as she has beginning to get scared.
Another gunshot could be heard from another angle, follow by a hoarse cry of one of their men.
“Just go! I’ll join you!” Harley yells at her.
“Thank you!” Mia sniffled, grab her gun and begin to run towards the backdoor. “C’mon, guys! Let’s move!” she commands the guys. They all seem to have been waiting for that order all day, they run up to her, dragging their hostage along with them.
Harley bends down slightly and picks Kayla’s gun up. “You should not have gotten yourself involved in this. Fuck you, Kay!” she pulls the trigger and shot at Kayla.
Kayla rolls on the floor to duck the gunshot. When she decides to look up, Harley has already made use of the backdoor and she’s completely out of the building.
“Fuck! Screw me!” Kayla bumps her fist on the marble floor, gets up and runs out of the building.
She doesn’t see Alfred where she has left him, she looks around but not even his shadow could be seen anywhere.
“Shit!” she curse under and breath and runs up to their parked car.
Archie steps out of the car the moment he sees Kayla running towards the car.
“Call that person, now!” she yells at him, she walks up to the car and grabs a gun under the seat. “Don’t just stand there, call that number I told you to call.” she barks at him before trotting to stop Mia and her squad.
She silently prays they haven’t gone far. She keeps running in the dark until she hears a gunshot from the other side.
“Ahh,”
Kayla hears the cries that she assumes to belong to her cousin, Harley. She gasps and hides behind a pillar.
“Fuck that bitch!” she sniffs and presses her palms gently on her mouth, stopping herself from crying loudly. “Why did she have to do that? Why?”
Tears flow freely from her eyes, in as much as she resents Harley for taking part in the whole scheme, she doesn’t want her to get hurt.
“I need to find Alfred.” she sniffs and wipe her tears. She makes to get out of her hiding when she hears a gunshot from the back.
It seems as though her life is coming to an end, she feels like she has been punched entirely in her thigh. Her leg gives out and she falls to the floor on one knee. Blood oozes out of the bullet wound on her thigh.
“Hello, Lieutenant Dean!” March grinned darkly, standing in front of Kayla with her gun pointing at her head.
“March!” Kayla gasps, her mouth hanging open unable to believe her eyes.
