Till Death - Ace Merrill (BOOK 2)

Yes Sir.

Each cobra and agent all slunk back as the wind caused more dirt and dust to fly everywhere.

Oceane almost attempted to bury her head as she was still being gripped tightly.

Robin, Jason and all their men all tried to cover their eyes and protect their faces.

All of them trying to look up but almost being blinded by the sheer power the helicopters were sending out.

Yet everyone was aware as a collection of ropes dangled down.

They were all aware of the collection of men scaling down.

The cobras all knew they were done for.

If Robin and Jason had this level of back up. They were fucked. Oceane was gone.

Their hearts stopped as the men landed next to Robin's men.

Though they just about managed to see these new guys all successfully take them out.

A loud chorus of bangs went off as Eyeball just about saw the man in front of Oceane send out two punches straight into the faces of Robin and Jason.

The helicopters dropped the ropes as they flew off.

Oceane just about to look up at the masked man in front of her as she saw the unconscious bodies of Jason and Robin.

He reached into his pocket as he pulled out a small piece of paper and opened it up to her. Her wedding invitation?

Looking up she saw him raise his hand and pull off his balaclava.

Salvatore.

She leapt on him as she squeezed him tightly, ignoring his groans in protest.

"I believe you invited me to your wedding ma'am?" He asked as she pulled away gently and stared up at him.

The other agents and cobras all slowly moved closer as Salvatore's team took off their own balaclavas and began to look around.

"You said you weren't coming?" Austin tried not to snap at him.

Salvatore looked over at his old teammate. He shrugged slightly.

"The girl will always be my concern." He replied firmly in his usual strict voice. "And it seems you are all incapable of surviving without me." He mumbled as the others couldn't take the smiles from their faces.

He looked over at a few of his men. "Sort this out." He snapped his order harshly as he gestured to Robin and Jason unconscious by his feet.

They nodded as Salvatore moved aside for them to cuff and drag the bodies of Robin and Jason aside.

"Hey aren't you that agent that shot himself in the foot?" One of Salvatore's men asked with a laugh as he pointed at Skylar. Another laughed and nodded by his side.

Skylar instantly clenched up, he didn't like others talking about it, knowing it would just be his legacy.

"HEY!" Salvatore snapped harshly at his men.

They both turned to him as he sauntered over to stand in front of Skylar.

"That's my brother you're referring to and unless you want me to shoot you in your own fucking foot, I suggest you show him some respect." Salvatore spat out harshly.

They both quickly nodded. "Yes Sir. Sorry Sir." Came their mumbled responses.

"Only we can take the piss out of him for that." Marco snapped just as defensively.

Skylar watched as the rest of the agents all moved to his side as they kept their glares on Salvatore's men.

"What the bloody hell is going on here?!"

Everyone turned to see Oceane's father getting out the car, Wilder and Graham by his side.

"Salvatore!" He snapped at one of his best. "What the hell are you doing here?!"

Salvatore held up the invitation. "I was invited to the wedding Sir."

Oceane's father looked down at his daughter as she shrugged.

"You did say I could invite who I wanted?" She said quietly as he looked about at the agents, cobras and multiple dead bodies.

"I want a full report on my desk tomorrow morning." He snapped as he sighed. "Just one normal day..." he mumbled as he looked about.

Oceane stood in the middle, Connie's hand now in hers as the agents and cobras surrounded them.

"Well!" Her father snapped. "Isn't there somewhere we're supposed to be?!" He shouted at them all.

*****

Oceane took a deep breath as she looked around.

Her arm was laced in her father's as her other was laced in Austin's.

Salvatore, Hugo, Nico and Bruce stood just in front.

She turned behind her.

Seth, Marco and Evans all stood just behind her.

"You guys won't let me fall right?" She asked nervously as she tried to stop the sick that she felt in her throat.

Their heads all shook in sync.

"Never ma'am." Came the synchronised response.

She gripped tighter onto her father and Austin's arm as the doors opened and they began walking in sync.

*****

"Now does anyone have any reason why these two may not be joined in holy matrimony, please speak now or forever hold your peace?"

"I FUCKING DO!"

Everyone's head turned to the front door as Jason stood there, covered in blood and with two guns in his hand.

He raised them slowly, aiming straight for the girl.

In a split second the guns had both been fired.

Austin jumped and raced to Oceane.

Skylar jumped and raced to Austin.

Marco jumped and raced to Skylar.

Seth jumped and raced to Marco.

Bruce jumped and raced to Seth.

Evans jumped and raced to Bruce.

Nico jumped and raced to Evans.

Hugo jumped and raced to Nico.

Salvatore jumped and raced to Hugo.

The bullets flew through the air as they hit Salvatore in the chest and he fell backwards.

Another gun fired as Jason dropped to the floor.

Oceane's father standing holding AJ to his side as he kept his gun up.

"FUCKING FIX THIS NOW!" He shouted at the many service and military men in the church.

"Salvatore..." Skylar whispered as he watched the others all desperately try to keep him awake.
