In The Blink Of An Eye

Sorry To Do This

"Sorry Aileen, but since he won't talk...I guess I'll just have to make him talk."

I pulled my gun out and shot right into his chair where his leg was.

"OH MY GOD MADISYN HAVE YOU LOST YOUR FUCKEN MIND? WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING? WHERE DID YOU GET THAT GUN?" shouted Aileen.

"Hey enough!!!" Jake said to her as he pulled her by the arm and pulled her back and further away from me.

I really was losing my patience and my damn mind. If this idiot didn't start talking in three seconds, I was about to shoot him for real this time. He picked the wrong girl to mess with that's for sure. Nobody was about to hurt my sister and make it out alive, nobody!!!

"I'm fucken trying to be nice here. So, who do you work for? Huh? Who sent you after her? It's the man without a face right?? Who is he???" I said as I went up straight to his face and got super close and personal where he could feel my breath on his face.

"Look lady, I don't know what you're talking about. GET ME THE FUCK OUT OF HERE YOU CRAZY BITCH!!!"

This motherfucker must have really wanted to get shot. I'm sure Jake was trying as hard as he could to not jump in and just finish the job for me but he knew how badly I wanted this. He knew how long I had waited and suffered to finally catch one of them and make him suffer. So, he just stood back with Aileen and let me do whatever I wanted to do.

Since he wasn't going to talk...things had to get a little more messier and crazier around here.

I grabbed my gun, aimed it right at his leg and shot him. He began to scream and cry in pain. See, normally I would NEVER in a million years do anything like this and I would be the one crying with him and helping him out. But, not right now. Right now I am crazy. I have lost so many people in my life, suffered, cried, begged, been in and out of hospitals and almost lost my life. So him crying out from a shot to his leg didn't bother me at all.

I looked back and Aileen had her head buried in Jake's chest and she was crying.

That was the part that killed me!!! Seeing her scared and crying was what nearly made me stop everything. But, she had to learn that during this time nobody was to be trusted, nobody. Unless she heard the words coming out of his mouth she was never going to learn, so I did what I had to do.

"YOU'LL LIVE! IT'S JUST A FLESH WOUND DON'T WORRY. HOWEVER...NEXT TIME I WON'T BE SO NICE. WHO DO YOU WORK FOR?"

"I DON'T KNOW HIS NAME. I'VE NEVER EVEN SEEN HIM. HE JUST TELLS ME WHAT TO DO AND I DO IT."

"YOU FUCKEN PSYCHO!!! HOW COULD YOU? I TALKED TO YOU DAY AND NIGHT AND YOU SAID YOU LOVED ME" Aileen cried.

"I HAD TO DO WHAT I WAS TOLD TO DO OR HE WOULD KILL ME. I REALLY DON'T KNOW WHO HE IS."

I looked at Jake as he walked up to me. He grabbed my arm and pulled me to the side. I don't know what he wanted to say or do but whatever it was it must have been something important.

"He has to have a way of talking to him. Either through the phone or online. I need you to get me that information. If I have that, I will be able to track him down and find out where he is at" said Jake.

I looked at him and looked back at Aileen who was on her knees crying and shaking. I looked over at the man and he was hunched over in pain.

"I don't know how much longer I can do this. I am not this person Jake. I don't like hurting people, especially not this way."

"I know. If you want I will do it. You just gotta tell me, I let you do it because I know how much shit you have been through because of them."

"No, I'll finish it. I just need you to take Aileen out of here. I don't need her seeing that."
