Kasity :

And there we were, holding guns towards one another, looking each other in the eye.

I could tell Areson was surprised, but he will find out soon.

At that moment I laughed.

"Alastair put the gun down." I said. It sounded like an order.

"We agreed on something else." I say and he puts the gun down and takes one step back.

"Then finish it." Alastair says...

At that moment I get ready to pull the trigger towards Areson.

With the corner of my eye I notice Nathaniel walking towards us.

"Guns down or your men will be dead." He says and points towards my gun.

"Avery and John have your men Alastair. Ms. Damassiel put the gun down." He continued...

"Oh really?" Alastair smirked...

At that moment I heard a loud noise and some fire coming out of one entry. A piercing sound. An explosion.

It was so powerful that we fell on the floor while fire and objects were surrounding us.

I saw Alastair approaching me... And that's the last thing I remember.

Areson :

I open my eyes and noticed Nathaniel laying next to me.

He opens his eyes and tries to speak.

"Damn it I'll kill that man myself." He said as he tried to get up.

There was still some fire, less dangerous though.

We got up.

"What if this..." I say and immediately take out my phone to call John and Avery...

"Ares, we're good, a little hurt but good. That was it, that man should be killed as soon as possible." John said, and I could notice the angry tone of his voice.

"He played dirty." Avery said...probably angry too.

"Alright boys, take the others and let's fix the mess he created here, before anybody notices." I say, but then...

I noticed that Kasity was not there. Neither Alastair.

Alastair's car was missing.

"What do you think Ares?" Nathaniel asked me, implying that Kasity betrayed us.

And at that moment I remembered the piece of paper she gave me before.

"I need to go home." I say...

The sun was setting...

"Let's fix this quickly." I add...

~2 hours later~

It was already night by the time we fixed Alastair's mess.

And I got home.

I opened the folded piece of paper.

'Areson, I'm sorry, but I had to. I purposefully joined Alastair, in order to help you. I don't plan to shoot you, instead I plan to shoot Alastair. Yes, I made a deal with him, but I know what I'm doing.'

That's what she wrote. So she did it again. Joined my enemies to actually help me.

But what Alastair did, in fact, ruined her plans...
