Your P.O.V:

"You know, your the only one I gave a last chance to. To just walk away from all this." Oswald spoke on his knees in front of us. He was clearly done bargaining for his life and started to beg. Fish, Butch and I have been running from Falcone for the past few days. We're supposed to leave town tonight but Fish wanted to pay Oswald one last visit. I give her credit, she's definitely fearless. I would have been too afraid to take Falcones place, and even after Falcone found out through Oswald she still showed no fear. She did say that she hates that she dragged my brother and I into all this. But I trust my brothers judgment and wherever he goes I go. But I didn't follow along just because of my brother, I like Fish. She's not just a boss but more of a good friend. She's done a lot for me and I can't imagine life without her. So with that being said, here we are.

"You of all people should have known my answer. You have been here long enough to know that where they go I go." I reply looking down at Oswald. Watching his facial expression turn slightly aggressive. "It could have been worse for you, you know. I'm sure your aware that Victor Zsasz has had a little obsession with you. I could have given you to him, but I didn't." "Oh and I'm supposed to thank you?!" I ask growing angry. "Your the one that sold all of us out! And yes I said all of us! I made a choice to follow her! Not because of my brother, but because she's my friend and I trust her! Trust is an necessity in this business, and she has mine!" I explain with a raised voice. Him mentioning Victor just set me off

Victor always likes getting close to me and watching me when we were in the same room. It didn't really bug me that much. I just thought it was because he was a little socially awkward. I mean his job really didn't help that either. But then I started to notice I was bumping into him everywhere I went. Even when it didn't involve work. I knew then that he was stalking me, and it scared me at first. But as time went on and so did the stalking I began to get really frustrated. I've even confronted him a few times. But every time I told him off he would just smile and laugh. Saying things like he loved how feisty I was and when the time was right. Before I wasn't that scared because he couldn't touch me. I was protected, but I'm not now. And there is no way in hell I'm going to let myself bump into him before I skip town tonight!

"You see Oswald, that's what loyalty looks like." Fish mocked while playing with a baseball bat in her hands. Oswalds face turned to anger and hatred. "You wouldn't know loyalty if it hit you Fish!" He spat out catching her attention even more. He smiled darkly then continued. "I was working for Falcone this whole time, and you didn't have the sense to see it. So look where your so called loyalty got you." His voice filled with venom. And the venom bite Fish hard. Her grip on the bat tightened so much that her knuckles were turning white. Her face twisted into a snarl. Oh she's pissed! "Ahha!" She yelled raising the bat about to beat him to death, but a sudden gun shot caught our attention. We all spun around to see Victor Zsasz and two other girls standing there. "Hello. It seems like Mooney's is the place to be today." Victor announced still hold his gun in the air from when he shot the ceiling. So not the person I wanted to see! "Hey Y/n!" Victor smiled creepily waving at me. "I was hoping I would see you again. It looks like my wish came true." Victor said. His eyes just absorbing my appearance as I stood there. "In your dreams Zsasz." Butch stated pushing me behind him as he pointed his gun at him, starting to shoot.

We quickly duck behind a booth, trying to take cover from Zsasz and his girls. Butch was the only one who had a gun. So while Butch was the only one who could fight back leaving Fish and I sitting there hoping a bullet doesn't go through the wood booth and into our backs. A cry of pain and a loud thud caught my attention. I look over to see that Butch successfully shot one of Zsasz's girls who was now dead on the floor. Seeing how close she was I suddenly got an idea.

"Butch cover me I have an idea!" I yell over the constant gun firing. "What?!" Butch looks at me shocked followed by Fish. "Are you crazy?!" She grabbed my arm trying to pull me more towards her trying to keep me close. "Just trust me!" I rush knowing there's not much time. "Ok." Butch agreed half willingly. I crawled from the wall and crouched getting ready for the perfect time to run out. A few more shots went off and then a brief moment of silence. "Now." I whispered to Butch. I sprung up hastily crouch running towards the woman's body while I could hear the firing resume. I hovered over her body and in one swift motion pulled some ammo from her belt and grabbed her hand gun she once held. I wasted no time crouch running back through the rows of tables back to Butch and Fish.
