Deadly Alliance

12- Second thoughts

(Their home warehouse)

Sorry it sucks😅

"Ah!"

Jackson fell down and Leo turned around to try and tackle Peyton. She punched his stomach and kicked his legs out from under him. Leo fell to the ground and Peyton saw another man run at her. Cole blocked her punch and went with his own, but Peyton blocked his as well. They kept attacking and blocking before Peyton ducked and rammed into Cole- tackling him to the ground. Jackson then grabbed Peyton and pulled her off his friend. She fell off Cole and onto the floor. She jumped on her feet and got in a fighting stance. 

Peyton froze when the cool touch of a gun barrel dug into the back of her head. Everyone froze as Leo held the gun firmly. 

"Did I miss something?"

Everyone looked to the source of the voice. Ryan was leaning on a doorframe and watching the 4 of them fight with an eyebrow raised. He walked towards Peyton and nodded to Leo to put the gun away. He did and stepped away. 

"Why did you bring me here?"

"I thought that might be obvious," Ryan told Peyton.

"I don't want to help you with your little plan," she said.

"Yes you do."

"Why would I help a murderer? Not to mention the same one that killed my family in front of me!"

"You're right, I did do that. Then I got tortured for a week because of it!"

"I bet that was better than dying."

"Easy for you to say."

"Guys, guys," Jackson said. "Break it up."

"I'm leaving. Find someone else." Peyton turned around and walked ito the door. She opened it and disappeared into the darkness.

"You're just going to let her go," Cole asked.

"She'll come back," Ryan told him. "Besides, she can't go far. The cops are still out there searching." They went their separate ways for the night, turning off the lights.

Peyton walked up a large hill and sat on top. The city lights were glowing below her and she could see cars driving in the streets. She sighed.

What have I gotten into?

Morning dew covered the plants and grass. The air was fresh and the sun just barely rising. Jackson came out of his room and went to the bar to make some coffee. As he was doing so, Cole came in and sat down. When Jackson was done, he looked  around while sipping his coffee and almost spit it out. He choked it down and tapped Cole on the shoulder.

"What?"

Jackson pointed to the far end of the warehouse where the cars were parked. Inside an old red car, in the drivers seat, was a dark blonde-haired girl in an orange jumpsuit. Cole and Jackson walked over there. Peytons head was laid on the steering wheel as she slept the morning away.

"Hello?"

Peyton jerked awake and looked around. Seeing Jackson and Cole calmed her a bit. She opened the door and got out with a bundle of wires still in her grip. Peyton dropped the wires into Coles hands.

"Fixed it," she said and took the coffee out of Jackson's hands. Peyton took a sip and spit it back into the mug. "Sick!" She handed the mug back to a disappointed Jackson who sighed that his coffee was ruined. Peyton sat on the couch and put her head in her hands. Right after that, both Leo and Ryan came out and stopped at the sight of Peyton back. 

"Geez, what am I doing," Peyton mumbled. "Ok, fine. I will help you, but only under 1 condition."

"And what's that," Leo asked.

"I'm not killing anyone. I don't care what you guys do, but I'm not going to kill someone."

"Seems like we've come to an arrangement," Ryan said. "Let's get to work then."
