The doors shut were stuck in here ... ran through my head Lucy head over and over again as I shielded my daughter from the guns pointed at us. And feared for the gun that was pointed at my son... Tim was try to talk down the man who pointed the gun at Logan but I couldn't concentrate on what was being said. Everything was moving in slow motion.
"I'm scared mommy," broke me out of my daze. I looked at Angela who was standing behind Tim and in front of me and Lyla.
Tim was slowly stepping closer and closer towards Logan.
"Move another step and I blow his brains out," I let out a whimper. I pushed Lila closer to the wall with my back now facing the scene played out. Angela moved in front of her after. I gave her a pointed look.
"Look it's not our kids fault we are who we are," Lucy started using her negotiating skills to hopefully save them from this. She's lay down her life if she could right now for her kids... but what scared her most is that the 2 of the 3 other people who she trusted with her kids were also in this room...
"You see I don't really want these stinky children... I want you," he pointed at Tim and then me, "and you. You guys just couldn't mind your own business and now, our insiders are all getting tossed out left and right." Lucy swallowed the lump in her throat.
"Then how about you let Lucy take the kids and you take me she can, she can be your new inside man... and Angela, she's a detective... surely they can be of some use... he'll I'd be more than willing to help you. Just let my kids go." Tim pleaded with him again. The rest of the men stood there guns pointed at us from various angles.
I walked to stand by Tim. Angela started to move with Lila to the stair case where I heard the other officer still tinkering with it and then my world stopped spinning.
I head the sound I was scared to hear.. a gun shot from in the room. I looked towards where I heard it come from and my heart stopped as I saw the bullet barreling toward Angela and Lila. I dove in front of and felt a searing pain through my arm.
I hear Tim yelling my name and then I heard several shots being fired. Fear of my kids getting hit paralyzing me as I stop what I'm doing. "STOP" I scream. Everyone surprisingly did. When I looked around to survey the damage, three of Bragas men were hit, leaving 3 of them . I notice Logan unharmed but hear him crying.
I look to Tim who is panting and holding his leg but he seems okay and there's not too much blood. I then look lastly at Angela and Lila and see Lila cradled by Angela and one of our men is dead...
"Look this needs to end! There are kids here let them leave and then we continue negotiating. You have Angela's cooperation on helping." I'm obviously lying
"Where is my insurance on this." He won't let this go! Fuck I'm going to kill him as soon as my kids are safe.
"Us for now til we figure something out! But let my kids go." I have tears down my face. And he seems to be thinking it over.
He hands me Logan who I hug and then I feel a gun in my back.
"Get away from her!" Tim tells shoving the guy who laughs and points the him at my head instead. Then a man amiss one at Tim.
"Take the kids and go..." he looks at Angela who nods and grabs Logan and the door opens Angela and the kids disappear leaving Tim and I alone with the 3 men. If I could just get a gun now that they took ours... we could win this... we're not too over powered. Surely help will be coming now that Angela's out.
I'm pulled to a chair and sat down. And Tim's beside me. We lock hands the best we can. Tim looks at a gun on the man whose backs turned and he knocks him down to his knees as he grabs it. Shooting him in the head then pushing me behind him. He lets out another shot and then a last. We take off towards the stairs where the swings open and we rush out. Someone informed us that Angela took the kids to the hospital to be looked out and I sigh in relief.
We go out side and there's cops surrounding the house we run to behind them where I pull Tim in for a hug and start to cry as I fall to the ground. And he gets down holding me in his arms.
"It's over... it's finally over." I laugh as tears run down my face. "Let's go get our babies"
"And get these fucking bullet wounds handled." He looked at my arm. And I looked down at his leg. Both were just grazes... but with the dirty ass basement we were in they definitely needed cleaned properly. Hit put his hand on the small of my back and we walked to an ambulance where a medic ushered us in. We sat on the benches and I put my head on Tim's shoulder... I realize then that I need to make a career change... and soon.

I'm trying to wrap things up, so one more chapter to go of the series!! Any typos will be corrected once I can.
