Pannel & Hook

Chapter 7: Ballad of the Golden Piece Pt.2

"My fault Side-eyes, I forgot, no harm, right?".

In all honesty, what happened next felt like I was starring in the fucking Matrix cause shit for me was fading in and out of slow motion.

"See, we're good".

It wasn't. The moment he lowered his piece, my eyes darted at one of his associates who slowly slid their hand inside their uniform to pull something small out two seconds after, and in the third second, something whizzed past my ear, damn near shot it off.

This resulted in couches being flipped and Side-Eyes shoving me to the floor as he and the girls started to open fire like they were in the Wild Wild West.

The slugs sound like war drums and trap beats as they crashed back and forth in the background as I saw them fly into the wall.

My hands were on my ears and my eyes closed whilst I was silently panicking on the floor until I felt something heavy fall on me. 

As I open my eyes, I could see shimmering eyes looking back at mine which was admittedly adorable before she smooshed my head into the carpet and proceeded to reload her and cock it then began to lick shots as they dragged me up by collar into the bathroom.

I dunno if it was just me but I just noticed Outcast was blasting on a stereo the entire time and I actually know this song but I was bitch slapped and told to focus so I could open the bathroom window.

While the adorable yet surprisingly hard-hitting girl proceeded to give cover fire I started to work on the window, using Nate's switch to help force the latch open then lift it and cut a decent-sized box while trying not to catch a shell.

The brown-eyed girl threw her piece to the other girl like they've practiced this before with her behind the couch, tossing her a bag and mine that was handcuffed to an oversized teddy.

She catches hers and puts it on in one fluid motion with literal grace and mine as well but ragdolls me and practically shoves me out the window drops some bullets to the ground before jumping out behind me and putting my bag on me like I'm a freaking five-year-old.

We ran and started hopping over fences like we were in the Olympics except she was dragging me the entire time and all this in lace front panties mind you, very impressive but we made it to an alley after hopping over the backyard fence of a house and made a left onto the main street.

"You okay dummy?". I can feel a buzzing coming from my thigh as I nod yes while we tried to catch our breaths.

"You going to answer that?". I looked at her confused as to how she heard it but turns out the ringer was on as well.

She reached in my pocket and answered it without hesitation and hung up soon after explaining where we were and how I was.

About 10 minutes later, Manny's car pulled into the distance. " Hey, you want my shirt?" She looked down in slight confusion but took it and told me her name was Kimi before his headlights grew brighter.

"Get in". Manny barked at us with his tinted windows somewhat lowered.

I get in first, mainly because she slightly pushed me in and took the front seat but as she closed the door, he pulled out his strap and told her to give him hers.

She takes the clip out and handed it to him before throwing it in the back and stopping to look at her.

"Yo, you good?". Manny asked as he pointed at her.

"What? Yea, It's not my bloo-". In a snap, she turned to me. "Oh my God, you're bleeding!".

"What? No, I'm not.". I look down at my shoulder area and say "OH FUCK".
