Comrades in Action: River Nuniez Book 8

Chapter five

"Thalya, what the hell is it this tim—" He was cut off by the feel of cold metal against his forehead and the clicking of a gun. "What the hell is this about?"

"Inside." She demanded in a low dangerous tone.

Marahan siyang umatras. He was thinking of snatching the gun from her hand but she beat him to it.

"Don't even think of doing anything funny. You know I'm way faster when I'm drunk, Nuniez."

He gulped. Well that is true.

"May I know why you're doing this before you send me to meet my maker then?"

"Inside."

"Fine. Christ! What did you even drink to be this... volatile?"

She giggled. It was the first time he saw her giggle and damn if it didn't sound angelic.

That's quite odd. Angelic? This demoness had her gun against your head and you think her angelic? The fuck, River?!

"So..? May I know the reason why you want to burry your precious bullet in my skull?"

"Fine. Know why I want to kill you right now?"

"I believe I just asked that—"

"Because I hate you!"

"That is not a valid reason. I have a few women who hates me but they don't march in my room pointing a gun against my forehead like what you're doing right now." He said in an incredulous tone while taking a step back.

"Oh that is because they don't feel the kind of hatred I feel for you."

"Enlighten me." He said through gritted teeth.

"You know I like Magnus."

"Oh, so this is about Magnus? I'm about to die at a young productive age without even contributing my splendid genes to the world all for what? For Magnus? You've got to be kidding me."

She smiled at him. And he knew that smile so well. It only meant the bitch is not fucking kidding at all!

"What does Magnus have to do with this?"

"You want him as much as I want him. And for that, I need you out of the picture."

"Sure I'm close with Magnus but I don't necessarily want him..." He frowned when he realized something felt off with her statement. "When you said want... you're not actually thinking I want him like I would want a hot woman on a see-through lingerie or a naked woman undeneath the shower waiting for me to pleasure her— that's not the kind of want you're trying to tell—"

"You want him all to yourself!" She cut him off. "You sex-starved manwhore! Magnus is a man! He's not into your kind!"

Kind...?

He took a sharp intake of breath.

"Are you seriously telling me that I want Magnus like... sexual—" He stopped himself before he could even spout the disgusting word. "You think I'm..."

"You see me as a threat! Kaya lagi kang dumidikit sa kanya!"

Doon niya napagtantong tama nga ang iniisip niyang iniisip ng babaeng ito tungkol sa pagkatao niya!

What a slander to his maleness!

"You think I'm..."

Hindi niya talaga kayang sabihin ang salitang iyon! How dare she think that?! After his mind-blowing performance with her last night?! Kahit hindi niya maalala ang lahat ng naganap, alam niyang walang bahid ng kaberdehang dugo ang permormance na ibinigay niya dito sa kama!

"You're into men and women! And to think you even included me in your list!" Ang naggagalaiti nitong sumbat!

Bagsak ang pangang napatingin siya dito. Dala ng galit, hindi na niya naisip na may baril na nakatutok sa bungo niya!

"I was more shocked to see myself in bed with you, Pierce! Don't make it look like I was the one who seduced you to bed!"

"Manahimik kang bakla ka!"

"Sira ulo ka ba?! Straight ako okay?! I'm fucking straight as a fucking arrow!"

"Reasoning out so you could evade death, huh, Nuniez?" She drawled.

"Should I fuck you again to clear your head?!"

She looked at him menacingly. "No need for that. I just want you dead."

Hindi nakaligtas sa paningin niya ang pagdiin nito sa gatilyo ng baril. His eyes widened when she pressed it! And she really fucking pressed it! At kung hindi pa siya mabilis na nakailag ay baka sa bungo na niya tumama ang bala! Gulat na gulat na napatingin siya sa throw pillow na tinamaan ng silencer nito.

This bitch is actually going to kill him!

"You're killing a comrade now, huh, Pierce?" He said in a deadly tone. All his muscles prepared to take her down.

"I'm retired effective today, Nuniez. So basically, we're not comrades anymore." She said sinisterly before pointing her gun at him again.

Mabilis siyang gumalaw. In a blink of an eye, he was able to grab the gun from her hand. He positioned himself at her back and choked her with his forearm. But he should have known it wouldn't be that easy. She jerked her head back hitting him straight in the eyes.

"Fuck!" He groaned but he didn't dare let her go. Nalaglag ang baril. Mabilis niya iyong sinipa palayo.

Nakipagbunuan siya dito. They exchanged punches and kicks. And although he could easily end her, he didn't. Thalya is still a comrade. Hindi niya magagawang patayin ito ng dahil lang iniisip nitong isa siyang binabae. If she knew the truth, Thalya wouldn't even think of pointing her fucking gun at him!

"Thalya, listen to me!"

"Shut the fuck up!"

He cursed when she elbowed his face! Fuck! It will leave a fucking bruise! His face darkened.

"That's it!"

Sumugod ito sa kanya. He catched her punch and twisted her around. Akmang isusubsob niya ito sa sahig ng bigla na lang itong lumupaypay kasabay niyon ang pagkabasag ng salamin ng bintana niya.

Out of instinct, he immediately ducked and covered Thalya with his body. He dragged her at the back of the sofa. Abot abot ang pagtahip ng dibdib niya ng makitang wala itong malay.

He turned her around and cursed when he saw blood on her chest and shoulder. Mabilis niya itong pinulsuhan. Nakihanga siya ng maluwag ng maramdaman ang pagpintig doon. He ripped her shirt off to check where her wound is.

"It's on your shoulder... you're alright... you're alright." He breathed the words shakily as if she could hear him.

Mabilis niyang kinuha ang cellphone sa bulsa. A few ring before the other line picked up.

"River—"

"Thalya was shot! I need a doctor Magnus! And check the perimeter! It was a fucking sniper!"

"Where are you?"

"In my room."

"Is the wound critical?"

"No. She was shot on the shoulder."

"And she fainted?"

"She was drunk."

He could hear Magnus sighing from the other line. "Get her out of there. Don't use your car or Thalya's. Use my 'other' car and go to Cece's apartment. I'll meet you two there."
