VITALI

~

I was expecting about this much, a gunshot was sure to be fired at me for being here, of all odds I didn't expect to see her again, not so soon.

I watched her hit the floor, her agonizing face wishing she wouldn't be here, of course she shouldn't be here, especially not in that dress of hers, I was too angry to see her in them but at the same time she was so attractive in them.

The chaos in here was just too much, this assassin's just wanted to smoke us out, but that's not the intention as bullets keep flying in all angle.

"When is the backup gonna arrive."
I asked Alonso.

"Soon, amico."

"Till we die?"

"Then keep yourself alive."

My men were fighting desperately, I know if we get external help now we'll definitely escape.

I looked at the bambina still on the floor, I've got to save her, I should but that will mean me endangering myself.

"Cover me I need to go get that girl."
I told my guards.

I just need to save her, how I'll get it done is what I don't know. The distance between us was pretty much, and if everywhere wasn't so smoky and I was able to see the gangsters we're battling then getting her to the safer side won't be that of a problem.

Her friend was struggling between subconsciousness and standing to her feet but each time she falls back to the floor. She checked on her friend, tried to push her backwards, herself not having the strength to even lift herself. She eventually let her go and began to crawl towards the right end of the room, leaned on the wall, adjacently facing us.

Her shadow could hardly been seen at the end of the room, she made a good shelter for herself.

"You're going to endanger yourself to save that puttana?"

I didn't say any word back to Alonso but my mind was telling me she was nothing like that, moments ago I met her as a reserved girl, I don't even know what to believe.

My team began to fire back continuously, giving me the opportunity to rush towards her, drag her out of the line, towards the cushion we've been hiding behind.

"You're unbelievable, I don't know you to bloodily flirt with a puttana."

"Just shut the fuck up and call the backup team."

My gaze was enough to halt him from making any other comment about her. Flirt? How can I flirt with her in this kind of situation, she's still a stranger to me, and she's even unconscious.

I bent to check her, she was barely breathing, as it appeared shallow and faint. If she didn't get a medical help now.....I can't quarantine that she will make it here alive.

The gunshots stopped, every other thing became silent as we listened for any other possibilities. Footsteps were heard. They made it into the room, guns in hand, eyes sharp, mind blowing taste to kill. Any slight move from us now will get us killed immediately.
