Hard To Kill

The End of the Peace

"Hey! Hey!" Chou ran in from his motercycle ride.

"Chou what's wrong?" Gyu asked.

Chou jumped over the couch into the kitchen with everyone else. "We need to go. Mr. Kim has cars surrounding the place 5 miles out."

Xuan froze then ran to the sink to throw up. "Baby." Zhang yelled.

"Xuan," Gyu followed. They helped her onto a chair.

"No. No. I'm fine." Xuan waved them off.

Zhang ran to the room then ran back. "Follow me."

They followed into the deep closet. In the back was a door that Zhang opened and ran through. "Here. Stock up." He grabbed a bullet proof vest and put it on Xuan. "I can't lose you now," he whispered to her and kissed her cheek.

Xuan smiled and they stocked their weapons plus some. "Alright." She walked out first, next to Zhang then Gyu and Chou.

"You sure you up to this Xuan? You seem a bit sick." Gyu asked.

Xuan nodded and Zhang grabbed her hand, leading the way to the car. "Alright. There's a warehouse down the road. We can hideout there."

Chou went off somewhere, but came back a few minutes later. He jumped in the drivers seat while Xuan, Gyu, and Zhang sat in the back. "Xuan. You can't fight," Gyu warned.

"Guys. Cops are 10 minutes out. Ditch the weapons." Chou warned as they pulled into the warehouse.

They ran inside, finding the weapons area where they ditched there weapons and ran back to the car.

Gyu screamed. "Run. Run-

Xuan turned to see Mr. Kim cover her mouth with a blade to her throat. They all froze. They were caught with no weapons and no way of escape.

Chou walked to Mr. Kim and reached his hand out. "Sir," he greeted as they shook hands.

"Good work," Mr. Kim patted his back.

Zhang stared in shock and betrayal. "Chow?"

"Sorry baby. I said I wanted you but you went for her instead," Chou shrugged.

Zhang grabbed Chous arm. "So if I take you you'll let us go?"

Chou pulled Zhang into a tight hug. "I called the police." He whispered. "I love you Z," he said louder and kissed Zhangs neck.

Zhang pulled away. "You cant-

Mr. Kim shoved him, knocking him to the ground. "I told you to stay with me. Look where not doing as I say got you. Your boyfriend's on the opposite side. Who's going to kill who?" Mr. Kim laughed.

"Woah. I didn't agree to killing him," Chou yelled.

"You did now," Mr. Kim handed him a gun and raised one at Xuan.

Xuan pulled Zhang behind her. "Don't shoot me. It's diffrent this time. It's not. . . Just me." Xuan said.

Mr. Kim cocked his gun. "English girl."

"I'm pregnant!" Xuan yelled, wincing as his finger lowered the trigger.

"You're pregnant?" Zhang asked.

A police car skidded to a stop on the driveway and Chou ran to Gyu. "Fuck. I can't do it." He kissed her and ran to the officer who opened his door and hid behind it.

"Xuan backed away from Mr. Kim slowly as more police came.

Mr. Kim raised his gun at Gyu and quickly grabbed Xuans arm.

"Drop your weapon," the police yelled.

Xuan held Gyus hand and pulled her into a hug. "It's ok Gyu. It's ok."

"Back off or I'll kill her." Mr. Kim yelled.

There was a long pause with no movement then a sudden gun shot. Gyu fell limp in Xuans arms. "Gyu! Gyu no. Wake up-ah!

She was chocked as Mr. Kim tighted his grip around her neck. "You let me go or the other one dies."

"Dad stop. I wasn't lying. I'm pregnant and Zhangs the father. Isn't that whay you wanted? You wanted him to take advantage of me to get the money? He succeeded dad. Now let me go. I'll give you everything." Xuan cried.

"It's too late Xuan. I'm already fucked." Mr. Kim scoffed.

Xuan let herself fall limp as she cried. "Gyu! Let me make sure she's ok. Please? She's all I have."

Mr. Kim slowly let her go but held the knife to the back of her shoulder. "Don't think you're going anywhere."

"Sir. We've got you surrounded. Drop the weapon, put your hands up, and slowly walk backwards towards me."

"Gyu. Wake up. Gyu. Come on." Xuan shook Gyu.

Chou ran over, kneeling next to them. "Babe. Come on."

"I-I'm really h-happy y-you found some. . .one baby." Gyu whispered pulling Xuans hand to her mouth and kissing it gently.

"Gyu. You're going to be fine," Xuan cried. "You can't go. I love you."

Gyu smiled slightly then grabbed Chous hand. "I l-love yo-ou Chou. . . Yo-ou can f. . . ind a b-boy you rea-ally love. . . Yo-ou don't ha-ave to jus-st be. . . stuck w-with me." Gyu managed to say.

Chou kissed Gyu a few times, despite the blood that filled her mouth. "Shh. No. Baby. I really fucking love you. You can't- You can't. . . We were going to have a really good family Baby." Chou cried. Gyus eyes fell closed.

"I love you both," she mouthed.

"No. Gyu. I can't go through this again!" Xuan and Chou held her hands tightly.

There was a gunahot and then a sharp pain in Xuans shoulder. She froze. "Take it out."

Chou did as he was told and pulled the knife out of her shoulder.  "Xuan. Xuan, are you ok? You weren't serious about being pregnant were you? You need help."

"I'm pregnant." Xuan confirmed, falling onto her back. She looked to the side to see her father facing her with a gunshot wound to the chest.  "How could you?" Is all Xuan could say.

Zhang ran over and craddled Xuan. "Hey. Hey baby. Does it hurt?"

"Zhay. I'm pregnant." Xuan admitted.

A medic ran over and tended to Gyu but instead left her to help Xuan. "No. Help her." Xuan pushed him away.

"Mamm. Relax-

"Help her first-

"She's dead!" The man yelled.
