Vienna ~ La Casa de Papel

Better Luck Next Time

We ran down to the other side of the door and then I stopped when I saw Nairobi's head in a hole he had smashed through the door. She looked so scared.

I walked over to her and put my hand on her cheek and with the other, slowly taking my gun out of my pocket.

"How's your hand?" I asked her quietly.

"I'm loaded with morphine, it doesn't hurt that much now." She replied.

I held the gun out in front of me.

"Where is he?" I asked angrily.

"I don't know." She groaned weakly.

"Vienna don't, last time I did that he shot her hand." Helsi told me.

"We're here you fucking scumbag!" I shouted through the door, loud enough for Gandia to hear me with tears in my eyes.

"Where's the other one?" He asked.

"I'm here for fuck sake!" Denver yelled angrily.

"Very well, I'm cutting Nairobi loose." He spoke.

I stroked her cheek and then backed up so I would be able to aim my gun at him.

2 months earlier:

"Wake up darling, I have news." Nairobi shook me to wake me up.

I groaned and opened my eyes.

"He said yes." He said. "The professor."

I gasped and sat up.

"You fucking serious?" I asked excitedly. She nodded and I hugged her laughing.

She had asked the professor if he would give her the sperm to have a baby. If he did that, after the heist, she would go to an IVF clinic and then be able to have a baby and leave him to decide whether he wanted to be involved or not.

She looked the happiest I had seen her in a long time.

Present time:

But I had never seen her so scared now.

He dragged her head out of the hole and then opened the door.

We were all stood by the wall pointing our guns at him. He had a rope around Nairobi's throat and she struggled to breathe.

"Let her go." I told him.

"But darling, we haven't gotten to the fun yet." He spoke sarcastically.

I glared at him and he slowly walked into the lobby with her and us following him.

He took the rope off her and she started struggling to walk towards us. Bogotá held out his hand for her.

"Hey m**t." Gandia spoke. She slowly turned to face him. "I told you I'd kill you."

He shot her in the forehead.

I cried out, as did everyone around me and then they all started frantically shooting at him. I pulled the top off the grenade in my hand and threw it to Denver, he ran after Gandia.

30 minutes later:

Gandia had ran back into the room where he was keeping Tokyo but Denver had thrown a grenade in there and it had injured him badly. He still managed to escape though.

I was absolutely torn. I couldn't face anyone at that time so I went to the top floor and into one of the offices.

I started sobbing on the floor with my head in my knees. I knew it, I knew something like this would happen to her, and in that moment, I knew again that I wouldn't get out of this hell hole alive. We were all screwed and there was nothing we could do about it.
