Author POV

"Get on the ground now."

Chanel and Kira are pushed to the ground.

"Stay here and don't move," Vincent commands and pulls an out gun from the back of his pants, he gets up and goes down the stairs with Angelo right behind him holding a gun too.

This is getting good, really good, I've been dying to shoot a gun for a while.

Chanel hears Kira begin to cry beside her and she quickly puts her arm over her and comforts her.

All she can hear is screaming and gunshots firing, she's scared too but she couldn't show it and she trusts Vincent to survive and protect her.

Suddenly, an unknown man comes up the steps and walks towards them.

"Get up," he yells, his deep Russian accent scares her, so they do.

Kira is a sobbing mess, "Please don't hurt me."

"If you just listen to me, I won't. Understand?" He replies, "Move on, the couch."

They quickly move to the couch and sit down; Chanel still has an overprotective arm over Kira's shoulder.

"Sit here and be quiet," he says and rushes back downstairs.

They silently wait, there is still chaos going on downstairs, then the man comes back up the stairs, looking bloody and angry, he storms towards them, but Chanel quickly stands up, but he pushes her aside and grabs Kira by the arm.

"No, no please," she begs in tears.

Chanel had to act fast, she kicks the man in between his legs and groans, grabs the gun out of his hand and points it at him.

"You better let her go and go back to where you motherfucking came from," she says furiously.

The man lunches at her but she acts quick and pulls the trigger. The man groans and blood spills out of his mouth, Kira screams at the top of her lungs and covers her face.

The whole place goes quiet before one more shot is fired.

"Oh my god," Chanel gasps and drops the gun on the floor.

Oh shit. Time for another performance, she thinks.

Vincent comes running up the stairs and stops dead in his tracks when he sees the body, limp, and bleeding heavily, he quickly rushes to Chanel's side and hugs her, covering her face so she won't look at the dead body, putting her face on his shoulder so she would not look at the body, Angelo follows up the stairs and takes Kira.

"We need to get out of here," Angelo commands.

"No, we can't leave this place like this. I'm sure the police are on their way as we -

"Police!" Someone yells from downstairs.

"Shit," Angelo swears. He looks down from the balcony.

"Up here officer," he says to the armed policemen.

They all look up and point their guns at him, but he raises his arms and his weapon, hidden in his pants.

"What happened here?" One of the officers asks.

"There was a shot out," Angelo replies coolly.

"Angelo?" The officer responds.

"Oh," he whispers, "Hey Uncle Dan."

"Ragazzo meglio ottenere il tuo culo qui adesso!" He yells angrily.

[Translation: How about you better get your ass down here right now]

"Zio, per favore, non uccidere," Vincent yells down to his uncle, still holding Chanel in his arms.

[Translation: Uncle please don't kill us]

"Vincent!"

They go downstairs with the girls in their arms.

"Buon dolore e hanno ragazze qui, quanto stupidi puoi ottenere?" Their uncle yells.

[Translation: Good grief, they have girls here too, how stupid can you be?]

"Sorry, Uncle Dan."

"You're going to be sorry, cuff 'em boys. Leave the women alone," Dan says, Vincent and Angelo get arrested and Chanel and Kira are escorted outside the club.

"Amore, I'll be back," Vincent smirks and kisses Chanel on the cheek.

Chanel only nods, with tears. Obviously.

"Look after Kira, she's fragile," Vincent adds and he's shoved into the police car and taken to the police station.

Chanel turns to Kira and hugs her, "Let's get to my place, it's safe there."

Kira nods and is driven to Chanel's apartment.

Upon arrival, Chanel finds Kat's car in the drive away, they head upstairs and make their way to their apartment. She opens the door to find Kat making out with a guy.

"Kat, Gio," Chanel calls out.

Kat turns around and gasps, "Hey bestie. How are you?"

"What the hell are you doing kissing Gio?" She asks furiously.

"He's my boyfriend," she says in a duh tone.

"Kira," Gio smiles.

"Gio," Kira sighs in relief and runs into his arms.

"Oh, Kira, what happened? Where is Angelo?" he says, holding her close.

"C'era un tiro a OL e arrestarono Angelo e Vincent. Sono così Gio spaventato" she cries.

[Translation: there was a shootout at OL, and they arrested Angelo and Vincent. I'm so scared Gio.]

"Kira, everything will be alright, the boys can handle themselves," Gio says and kisses her forehead. What in the world is going on? He just kissed another woman in front of his woman. Are they related?

Kat clears her throat, Gio looks at Kat and realises what was happening, "Kat, this is Kira, my bosses' girlfriend."

Kat's eyes widened, "Oh nice to meet you, Kira,"

"Likewise," she sniffs, "You're pretty, just like Chanel."

Kat forces a grin, "Aren't you the sweetest?"

Kat doesn't like Kira, that's officially a fact, I don't either and I don't buy her innocent act, girls like her, are like me, always up to no good.

"They took them downtown," Chanel says, "Are you going to spend the night in jail?"

Gio groans, "I need to get down there, Uncle Dan is a tough nut to crack and no they won't."

Uncle Dan? They have an inside man or men; the police are also a part of this dirty operation of theirs. This is getting crazy.

"I'll come with you," Kira says.

"No, stai qui con Chanel" he commands.

[Translation: No, you're staying here with Chanel"]

Kira pouts, "Bene, basta portarlo a casa e me."

[Translation: Fine just bring him home to me]

Gio nods, "Kat let's go."

"Alright," Kat grabs her purse and they leave Chanel's apartment.

Kat has to explain to her, how she got to meet Giovanni and why they were making out in my house, of all places? Kat can't be making mistakes like this; they will get caught.

"Why don't we run you a bath? Would you like that, Kira?"

Kira nods shyly, "Yes please."

Chanel escorts Kira to her guest bathroom and runs her bath, putting her bath oils and soaps in.

"I don't want to lose him," Kira cries.

Chanel sighs, "You won't honey, he'll be back."

"I was going to tell him that I'm pregnant tonight." she sobs

And Chanel's heart drop.
