Liam's POV:
I sat in the car on my phone waiting until we made it home. Like usual school was boring, and now I have to go to training later.
I was swiping through Instagram, when all of a sudden I herd a loud BANG! I know what that sound was. I part of the mafia for goodness sakes.
This wouldn't be the first time that I've been shot at so I don't really care. At least I didn't until I realized who else was in the car.
I turned around to make sure that she was ok. She was looking around frantically trying to find out where the sound came from. Just as I was hoping that it was only a firework that when another gun fired.
I looked at Luke, and gave him a small nod. We knew what to do, we had been trained on this. "Makayla, no matter what you hear keep your eyes closed and head down" I told her sternly.
She nodded her head and looked worried. I gently pushed her head down as more shots started to fire. I looked around to where I saw two black SUVS behind us. They each had a man leaning outside the window with a gun.
"Hang on" Luke said before making a sharp right turn. I looked behind us to see that the SUVs where still hot on our trail.
I lifted the carpet up from under my seat and pulled out the gun that was hidden there. I carefully leaned out of the window and fired.
I first aimed at one of the dudes with their heads sucking out of the window. I shot him in the middle of his eyes. I watched as he went limp and the gun fell out of his grip.
Without wasting any time I shot the tires on both the car. The cars spun out of control and crashed together causing a loud bang. I leaned back into the car and took a deep breath.
"I already texted Archer. He said to get back to the house and the he would deal with it" Luke told me with a rare serious tone.
I nodded my head in response and turned back to Makayla. She was laying down in the fetal position as her body shook with sobs.
I put my gun back into its hiding spot before climbing into the back seat with her. I went to gently touch her back but the second I touched her she spun around and wrapped her arms around me.
Her head was buried in my neck as she let out heartbreaking sobs. "Shhh, shhh. It's ok. It's all over now" I whispered as I gently rubbed her back.
I saw to back SUVs zoom past us. I could tell custom tires that it was part of our mafia. Makayla's sobs soon slowed as she fell into a soft slumber.
"Do you think she going to be ok" Luke asked me, worry lacing his tone. "I don't know" I told him truthfully. He let out a loud sigh before asking, "do you think this was done by the Russians".
"I don't think so. The Russians would've had better equipment" I told him. "They could've hired some low life gang to scare us" he suggested.
The rest of the car ride was silent, both of us lost in out own thoughts. Once we pulled into the garage Bryson, Ethan and Dylan all bursted through the door.
I slipped out of the car holding a sleeping Makayla in my arms. "Shut up, she's sleeping" I hissed at them. "Hand her over to me. I'll take her up to her room" Bryson told me.
I hesitantly handed her over to Bryson, not really wanting to part with her. I had to give her up because I know I would have to report this to Archer, and she can't be there for that.
Bryson headed back inside with Makayla as we all stood around the garage in silence. Finally Ethan broke the painful silence. "Let's go Archer wants to see you two" He told us.
Without waiting for our response he heading back inside. We all followed behind him. Ethan knocked on the door before stepping in. Both me and Luke stepped into the room after him.
"What happened" Archer questioned getting straight to the point. "We where driving back from school when we where attacked" Luke started.
"There where two SUVs shooting at us. We took them both out and came back here" I finished for him. "Is everyone ok" he asked with a sigh. "No one is hurt physically, but I'm not sure how Makayla is going to handle this" I told him honestly.
"How much did she see" He asked. "I'm not sure. I told her to close her eyes and cover her ears. When I turned back to her she was curled up in the back seat" I told Archer.
He nodded his head, looking like he was deep in thought. "If she asks about this then tell her that they where just a low life gang hired by another company to scare us into giving them money" Archer told us all after awhile.
"Who do you think Fucking did this" Dylan asked from behind me. "It wasn't the Russians. They where too poorly trained and unprepared" Luke said. "They could've been hired by the Russians" I suggested, yet again.
"Maybe that wasn't the point. The Russians could've just been sending a message" Ethan spoke. "What message are they trying to send" Dylan growled out.
"That there coming, and there closer then we think" an angry voice said from the door way. We all turned our heads to find Drew and Zander. It was Drew that had just spoken.
"What are you talking about" Dylan asked. "The clean up crew found a note left behind" Drew replied handing the note the Archer.
"What does it say" Luke asked them. "We're closer then you think. Hope your prepared" Archer read. "THIS IS FUCKING BULL SHIT" Dylan yelled as he punched yet another hole through the wall.
"There was this too" Zander said coldly as he placed an envelope on Archers desk. Archer opened the envelope to find more photos of Makayla. After last time we increased her security, but even then they still got to her.
Before anyone could say anything about the photos Archers phone rung. He read the message before saying "She up". Time to see how she's going to react to this.
