Phoenix's Revenge

15.

Phoenix POV

In one swift move, Tommy shoves me behind him I reach into his waistband and grab my gun. He does the same. I turn around and press my back to his so that our sixes are both covered. We raise our guns.

"Alright, boys. What're the odds you let us go? Out of 3." Tommy says. More men file in and the opposite door is shut, leaving us trapped in.

"On 3?" Tommy asks me.

"Sure. 1.." and we both start firing. Anything and everything we can shoot, we do. Bullets fly past us as we are caught in an all out shoot out. I quickly run out of ammo.

"You out?" Tommy yells.

"Yup. You?"

"Same."

Great. I don't have time to think as I'm rushed by one of them. He picks me up and slams me on my back effectively knocking the wind out of me. I gasp for breath as his hands wrap around my throat. I claw at his hands before I remember that I have my knives. I reach into my pants and pull them out, jamming one into his neck. Blood spurts out at me.

I liked this top.

I push him off of me and see a man on top of Tommy. I sprint and throw my body at him. We tumble to the ground and fight for the dominating position. I win and throw a punch to his jaw, then another to his temple and then one to his cheek. He goes unconscious and I get off of him, breathing heavy. I turn towards Tommy and he turns towards me. We run to the door, but I feel a hand shoot out and grab my ankle. I hit the ground hard on my stomach. I feel someone on my back, my hair is grabbed and my face is smashed into the ground. I see stars instantly, blood trickles from the wound and my vision blurs. I see Tommy pick up a gun from a fallen guard and shoot him execution style. He picks me up.

"Can you walk?" I nod.

We bolt for the door. Tommy yells and winces but we keep moving as quickly as we can towards the suv. Nikolai sees us and his face goes white. We jump in the car and speed off.

"What the fuck happened?" He yells.

"It was a trap." Tommy grunts out. Nikolai looks towards me and I just nod.

"I'm going to puke." I say.

"Shit." Nikolai steps on it as my eyelids grow heavy.

"Hey! Do not fall asleep Phoenix. Eyes stay open."

That seems hard. Me head lulls to the side and I shut my eyes.

...

Ouch. Fuck, ouch. I wake up with the worst headache I've ever experienced. I reach up and feel a bandage going around my head. I look around the room and see Nikolai sitting in the chair close to the bed.

"Hey." I croak out.

"What the fuck did I tell you?! You. Run. If. It's. Dangerous. You could've hurt yourself. You could've died. You have a concussion now, if tommy hadn't"

"I know where a strong hold is in Italy. I almost got his address, but it went to shit too quickly."

He shuts his mouth.

"There. That's better. Now, come cuddle me or get out." I say with s smirk. He climbs in and pulls me into his body. I lay my head against his chest and listen to his heartbeat.

"You're so whipped."

"Shut up."
