Love at Gunpoint

Chapter 6

CHAPTER 6 -

Kartik and Sid shove their revolver in the inner side of their coat and step into the hall. When they entered, two muscular looking men took their invitation and exchanged them for intricate looking masks and a program for the night. He tossed the program in the trash can, he had more important things on his mind.

As they walked toward Mason, they wished him Happy Birthday. "Thank you, and welcome to the party" said Mason while flashing a smile. "Well, that's my son," he said, pointing at a man with a black coat, blue eyes, perfect white teeth, and gelled back hair. He did look good. "Why don't you guys meet him, he's your age. Till then, I'll catch up with my baby." he said grinning while pulling a 23 year-old girl by the waist closer to him. In return, she ran her fingers over his chest.

Kartik just shook his head in disgust. Why would a pretty girl like her go for a 55 year old grandpa like him. Money. He scowled thinking that. Money was the thing that sh-

"Come," Sid muttered.

"Omg babes!" scream Sasha. "You look damn hot! I bet, if I were a boy, I would already have asked you out."

Naira just chuckled. "Well, says you! Look at you, you look so beautiful I would put you on a giant billboard outside a mall." said Naira.

"Agh!!! I forgot the brownies!" screamed Naira. "Wait one minute, I'll go get them and then we can go."

"Be quick!" Sasha yelled, but Naira had already taken off.

Naira quickly stuffed the brownies in her purse (in a ziploc), and rushed back downstairs.

"Ok! Now let's go!" she said. "Also, can we walk? I love walking in the night."

"Sure!" replied Sasha.

----------------------------------------------------------------

"Man, this is getting boring!" exclaimed Sid. "As far as I know them, they know how to throw a decent party. What do we do, just sit in a corner and sulk?"

"Don't forget who arranged this party, his charming son" Kartik responded sarcastically.

"Makes sense," he said. After a moment, Sid asked "I just wanted to ask, do we have a plan?"

"Yes," responded Kartik sternly. He was examining the whole place carefully. As soon as they had entered he had begun noting down where each window, door, exit, makeup room, costume room, bathroom, anything that could be a problem or a benefit.....

Out of the blue, the room went dark. People gasped and began whispering frantically. This wasn't part of the plan. What was going on?

------------------------------------------

Naira and Sasha entered the hall. There were many people and the place looked really crowded. As they made their way in, they looked around. They both stood in awe. The place was beautiful! They had never seen such a big hall which was merely organized for a birthday. They went near a table and grabbed the chairs and sat on them.

"Damn, this place is so cool," said Sasha looking around.

"Mhm!" replied Naira as she looked at the chandelier. She was awestruck by how luxurious things were. She had never seen such expensive and intricate items. Of course she couldn't, she was living in a small apartment with Sasha and they both just made enough money for the house and their studies. She just stood there gazing at everything around them. She felt like Cinderella in a giant beautiful place which she had never seen before.
