I can't Hurt You - Marcus Lopez Arguello

72

A couple minutes later and the plan was now in action.

Lex walked up to the door disguised as a happy mailman, dropping off an explosive that was wrapped like a Christmas present. Not like the hillbillies would come get it, but it was a 'just in case' type of plan.

Whilst this was happening Petra and Billy went around back setting up fireworks to distract from the obvious blowing up of the house we were about to do. Within a couple minutes the huge illegal fireworks were set up and Billy gave us the O.K just seconds before they went off.

"Back door Betty all hot and ready." Billy spoke through the walkie-talkies we got from the comic book shop.

Then they went off, causing a shit-ton of noise and pretty lights to cover the night sky above us.

Then we heard an even bigger explosion in the front of the house, indicating that the front door had just been blown up by Lex and Marcus.

That was Saya, Maria, and I's cue to climb up to the second story window and get in that way. They'd be expecting us if we came in through the front door. She threw up a grappling hook, hoping the hook would get caught on the windowsill since it was open. Low and behold it did, and we both started to make our way up to the window.

"Door's rubbish. Precision blast. Not an ounce more than necessary." Lex laughed through the walkie-talkie as Saya, Maria, and I were almost all the way into the house.

We heard clatters and clangs coming from the inside. I hoped that wasn't Marcus and Lex already in there and causing trouble. Saya, Maria, and I finally got all the way up and noticed we were in some empty hallway. Saya took her katana out ready to strike at anyone who came her way, Maria with her fan in hand, whilst I took my knives out of my boots, twirling them in my hands and getting a good grip.

Then the walkie-talkie went off again and we heard Lex's voice.

"Just a little pussy. Must've sensed it's brethren nearby." He said cockily.

I pressed the button on my walkie-talkie that was on my belt so everyone could hear me.

"Lex, shut the fuck up!" I whisper yelled at him to which he didn't reply.

Saya, Maria, and I checked the hallway cautiously, terrified of what may have been waiting in there but putting on brave facades nonetheless. The rooms and halls were messy, mutilated like the rest of the house. I couldn't even imagine what the downstairs where a Marcus and Lex were looked like.

"Butthole." Saya muttered.

Maria and I turned our heads to her quickly, almost so quick we could've gotten whiplash.

"What?" I questioned.

She pointed towards a cigarette on the nightstand in the room we were currently in. It'd just been put out. Smoke was still leaving the nicotine, infested stick. We weren't alone.

"Shit." I whispered to myself.

"What the-" I heard Lex yell from downstairs.

Shit. Marcus and Lex.

"Saya, I love you, but I have to go help them." I said before running out and downstairs not giving her time to protest against my wishes.

"Lex!" Marcus yelled.

I made it downstairs to see Marcus staring down a hallway.

"Marcus! Where's Lex?" I asked.

He pointed towards Lex who had gotten pulled towards some hillbillies with a trap they'd set up.

"This one's good for killing!" One of the three hillbillies said.

"Marcus!" Lex called out.

Then I heard thumps from upstairs that were no doubt caused from Saya and Maria fighting some hillbilly. Shit. They're gonna hate me.
