ZARA

Chapter 78: Good hands

We dashed back into the the large tent in hopes of finding Aaron. But since we hadn't seen him we decided to wait. It was all totally cleared out only Angel Leo and Owen were in there.
"How exactly are we going to do this." Angel asked with a shaken tone.

"No hesitation, as soon as he steps foot I'm laying his ass out." Owen stated confidently staring at the entrance of the door.
"Goodness." Angel gasped running her hands through her hair stressfully.
"So what your just going to kill him Owen.? Then what. What do we do with his body.?" Leo questioned walking up to him.

"Don't worry about that." Owen eyes didn't move from the entrance of the setting.
"So your just going to kill him. Just like that.?" Leo asked getting in his face.
"Yes! Are you fucking dumb.? Why are you even asking me that question it's Aaron we're talking about. A killer who tried to kill Zara and Angel a few months ago. So yea I'm going to kill him the seconds he shows his face." He growled pushing Leo out of his way.

"Zara let's go." Angel looked to me.
"I'm not leaving Angel, you so are free to go if you want to." I uttered lifelessly sitting on the ground behind Owen.
"He needs to die." I added looking at her.
"Owen you aren't a killer!" Leo yelled

"Leo shut up! What the fuck don't you understand?! This man is dangerous. And if I don't kill him then he'll probably kill me. Then you." Owen blurted loudly removing his eyes from the entrance.
"We aren't debating this shit." He uttered shaking his head.

"Debating what exactly." Aaron entered the setting with two men behind him all holding machine guns.

Owen stood up so suddenly reaching for the gun in his pants. I stopped him fast.
"There all armed Owen, if you cause any threat he'll shoot you in seconds." I whispered in his ear. Angel and Leo got up too soon after.

"Wow, you all look so different from the last time I saw you." He grinned. And he looked different to, he didn't look as musty. In fact he was wearing a suit while the two men behind him were wearing the same thing and black ski masks.

"You don't look as creepy either." Owen mentioned letting go of the gun finally.
"Ouch." Aaron said placing his hand to his chest.
"Why is that.?" Owen titled his head in question.

"Well Owen in the time of me not being in prison, I had joined a new family. The Matrix to be exact and I was soon claimed there under boss. I had to leave New York and when I finally came back I planned coming after you. And now that I'm here I'm going to kill you and kill Zara and Angel and Leo. Then I'll leave again." He explained

"Matrix, what the hell is that.?" I asked as Angel shot me a warning look that showed me that she didn't like how blunt I was with him.

"A mafia." He replied.

OH FUCK NO.

I looked at Angel with shock in my eyes as she did the same.
Within seconds Aaron and his men approached us with speed in there stepped, I looked over at Angel who was pushed back bye Leo who was now standing in front of her as Owen did the same with me.

"Angel did I forget to mention you look more and more like your mother each day." He winked at her as he continued to walk towards us.
"Get Owen and separate the rest." He spoke to his men shortly after.

"No. No don't touch him." I grabbed onto Owens arm pulling him behind me as he slipped the gun into my bag.
"Get out of the way." He growled storming up to me as I did the same planting a slap on his right cheek hard.
"Zara!" Angel croaked

"Little girl." He growled grabbing my shoulders
"No." Owen blurted as Aaron shoved me to the ground hard.
"Zara!" Angel ran up to check on me.
"I'm fine." I grumbled glaring at Aaron
"Stay down Douglass, your time is coming." Aaron yelled pointing his finger at me.

"Do what he says Z." Owen warned me.
"Owen please." I stammered as Leo ran to me shortly after.
"It'll be okay." He nodded
"Don't hurt him!" I yelled at Aaron who completely ignored me.
"Search him for any weapons." He ordered his men as they did what he said.

And they found nothing.
"Perfect, making this a lot more fun." Aaron grinned grabbing Owens shoulders and clocking him across the face.
"No!" I yelled as Leo ran up to them but was quickly shoved to the ground by one of his men.

Owen stumbled to the ground and Aaron wasted no time kicking him in the stomach.
"Stop! Please!" I cried feeling helpless. As Owen grunted in pain.
"Gonna die real slow, right in front of your friends too." Aaron crackled kicking him again.

Thats when I remembered the gun is in my bag.

I reached into it quick at the cost of seeing Owen in agonizing pain. Then, I pointed it at the man's head.
"Zara don't-" Angel spoke silently and I turned the target to there legs shooting them both down.
Aaron turned around to the sound pulling out his gun getting ready to shoot me, I pulled the trigger again but nothing came out.

I was out of bullets.

Just as he was about to shoot a bullet flew right into his leg causing him to fall to the ground.
I looked to my right to see my dad with four other people behind him all in suits. Along with a gun in my dads hand.
"Dad!" Angel and I yelled running up to him into a hug.

"No one fucks with my girls." He growled hugging us back.

"I thought you left." Angel unhanded him.
"Never again." He spoke looking at her.
"I promise." He added.

"Owen what are you doing?!" Leo blurted causing me to turn my attention to Owen who was standing over Aaron while My eyes widened at him.
"I meant what I said." He sniffed grabbing Aaron's gun and pointing it at him.
"Owen no!" I yelled before I was quickly interrupted by a gun shot that shot through Aaron's heart.

I gasped holding my hands over my mouth as I shut my eyes.
"Owen!" My dad yelled running up to him as a another gun shot was fired.
I opened my eyes to see Owen hit the ground being caught by my dad.
"There's a sniper in the area! Everyone get down!" He yelled loudly pulling Owen behind a table.

"Owen!" I cried running over to their table.
He grunted in pain as my dad grabbed a random sweater from the table putting pressure on the wound.
"Your going to be okay." I sniffed cupping his face.
"Just don't give up okay, stay with me." I rambled trying to keep him awake.

"We need to call 911." I added trying to take my phone from his pocket.
"Zara do not move him or he will bleed out and die." My dad warned me yelling.
"I'll take him, you need to leave before this place flocks with Matrix members. Take Angel and Leo with you. Go through the back and there will be a black van he's my driver and he will take you home." My dad explained

"I can't leave him." I cried
"Your not leaving him, he's in good hands I promise you I won't let him die. I promise." He spoke clearly.
"Go." He added.
"I'll be fine Z, I love you." Owen chimed in with grunts in between his words.
"I love you." I cried crawling over to the other table starting to hear shots fire.

"We have to go." I yelled over the shots "Before there's more of them." I added .
"Was Owen shot.?!" Leo questioned with aggression.
"He'll be fine but we have to go, my dad will take care of him." I nodded with a reassuring expression.
