35
Throwing us into a dark damp place, the five men surrounded us on all sides with guns aiming at us. Scrunching my nose, I try to prevent the foul smell infiltrating my nostrils. Water dripped from the leaky ceiling of the filthy broken warehouse and trickled down numerous pillars that were holding the place up. My boots were soaking in the dirty puddle of water I was standing in next to Leo who had his palms curled up into fists. Anger radiated off his red cheeks as he stared at the men like a tiger ready to dismantle his prey. His chest rose and fell heavily as his flared nostrils pushed out carbon dioxide.
"Do you even know who you're messing with?" Leo spoke through his teeth.
"We don't care. We just need to get our job done which is killing you two." The men mocked us as their laugh rang through the empty dusty warehouse and bounced off the thin chipped walls. It sounded more like horses neighing than laughing.
"Leo Bonferroni" he declared. "I bet you low life criminals have heard of me."
"Oh we have alright" said the bald scrawny man. "I have heard all about you and your deeds. You remember my brother? The one who you tortured by carving your name into his chest with a pocket knife and letting him bleed to death, then feeding him to your infamous pets."
"Which one was he?" Leo asked pretending to ponder deeply. "Was it Dave, Tyler, or Josiah? Oh wait, was it Jose, or maybe little Ricky? Or maybe just one of the fifty nameless bastards whose name I didn't care about." The scrawny man's brows knit together in anger as my heart began to race in fear. Did Leo actually do that? This shouldn't faze me at all but it scared me a little. This is going to be bad. Really bad.
The bald man began to charge towards Leo who had a smirk planted on his face when two other men stop him from hitting Leo. "Let's just kill them and leave" another man said.
"No!" The bald man spoke up again. "We are going to have some fun with the girl over here. She looks delicious." The man licked his chapped lower lip and looked at me hungrily.
"Come try me" I grit my teeth together and challenge the ugly, shit looking man. Adrenaline flowed through my body instantly, making my hands shake. I would like to see this bitch try. He had something coming for him; a kick to the balls.
"Touch her and I'll rip your balls and shove them so far up your ass that you'll taste them in your disgusting mouth while you bleed to death when I shoot your ugly ass up" Leo's voice echoed throughout the place, making me fear for these idiotic men who didn't know what they were messing with.
"That's funny" the men laughed. "You're going to watch while I fuck her. Grab him" the man ordered the tall and the chubby man that were standing behind Leo.
Laying down his gun on the floor, the same bald man began walking towards me and unbuckling his pants just like Astor did on my tragic birthday. Imagining Astor's scarred face, I close the remaining distance between us and bring my knee up to his little balls with force, making him shriek. He grabbed his crotch and fell to the floor whining in pain.
Leo saw the opportunity and punched the distracted tall man to his left, knocking him out cold while he elbowed the chubby one in the face and kicked him, making him fall backwards from the impact. Three down, two to go.
I ran away from the two remaining men standing as they began firing at us. Dodging the bullets behind a pillar, I stay still while Leo jumps over a broken table and rolls, grabbing a gun from the floor and shooting back at those men.
Peeking around the corner, I see one of two men couldn't escape Leo's bullet to the leg and fell down. Dragging his wounded leg, the man scurried behind a pillar to avoid any more bullets but Leo was quicker than the man as he walked nonchalantly towards him and unloaded three bullets into the man's skull mercilessly without flinching. Leo then aims at the other man behind another rusty pillar who aimed back at him. It was a Wild West stand off between the two men.
Sneaking up behind Leo, the bald man pinned a gun to his head. "Lower your gun or I'll blow your brains out. There are two of us and one of you because your girl is MIA." My heart caught up in my throat in fear for Leo. I stood still and didn't know what to do. I had to think fast as Leo began lowering his gun to floor. Tears threatened to escape my eyes but I couldn't let them blind me right now. I had to stay calm and think of something fast.
Looking around, I try to search for anything that could be used as a weapon. Anything at all. I can't let Leo die because of me. I won't be able to forgive or live with myself if anything happened to this man. On further observation, I notice a gun laid down next to the tall man who was knocked out cold. Crouching low in order to not draw any attention of the bickering men, I crawl towards the gun and pick it up.
"None of you are getting out of here alive today" Leo roared at the two men who had their guns aimed at him.
"That's funny considering you're on your knees without a weapon." The bald man laughed and strode towards him. Kneeling down to Leo's level, the man spoke "after finishing you here, we'll go hunt the girl and rip her apart. Too bad you won't be there to see that."
With that, Leo lost it and head butted the man, throwing him back. Rising like a mighty lion, Leo stormed towards the other one and plowed him to the ground. Gripping the man's hand that held the gun, Leo turned the muzzle towards the man himself and pressed the man's finger that fired off the trigger, shooting him in the face as blood spewed onto Leo's face.
BOOM
My heart stops when I see Leo fall to the ground with a thud and in pain holding his left bicep. "This is it. Not putting this off anymore." The bald man hovered over Leo's body with a gun fixed at his body.
I run up behind the man and pin the gun to his temple. "Drop your gun or I'll drop you." My voice shook with anger as it coursed through my veins, heating me up.
The man turned his head and flashed his yellow rotten teeth at me. "You're too much of a girl to do it." He scoffed and turned his attention back to Leo who laid still on the ground holding onto his bleeding arm. I'll show him what a girl can do.
"Don't test me." I hit the butt of the gun against his forehead drawing his furious eyes and bleeding head towards me.
"You little bitch" he growled and tried to snatch the gun out of my hand but I was too quick for his lousy ass.
"The next injury will be a bullet in your head. Don't think I won't do it cause I will and I won't stop." I warned him still holding the gun high up aiming at his head.
Suddenly the man shook violently as multiple bullets pierced through his back making me jump behind the nearest pillar.
"Leo!" I heard a man cry out. "You okay?"
