No Man's Land

The Boiling Point

"How did you find me?" Asked Theo.

"CCTV camera. So you're with them for real?" Asked Liam.

"I do not understand what you mean by real. I was always committed to Tim, ever since I joined the alliance with him." Lied Theo.

"What happened to Clara?" Asked Diane suddenly.

Theo's expression turned from horrified to shock, "I'm sorry? Clara? I don't know what you're referring to about her." Lied Theo.

"Don't Theo. Enough with the LIES!" Screamed Eric.

"You killed her didn't you?" Asked Kurt.

"Listen, it's not as simple as that-" said Theo.

"So you did kill her. You killed a member of our TEAM!" Shouted Liam, shooting at Theo who managed to avoid the bullet, the restaurant now turning into a battlefield.

Liam hid at the side of a table, Eric sliding over next to him, Diane jumping over a table and in mid air shooting at Frankie, who stepped to the side and let it ricochet into a fridge, launching the bullet back into the air and into the roof.

Kurt ran behind the bar, poking out to shoot through the small window in the door to the kitchen, trying to shoot Tim but he saw it coming and sprinted from the bullet.

Liam poked up from behind the side of the table, shooting behind Frankie into the fridge, the latter standing up thinking he was safe, little did he know that the bullet was about to ricochet back into his leg, causing him to fall to the floor.

He screamed out in anger and pain, Theo crouching down to check on his good friend, he grabbed a dishcloth, applying pressure to the gunshot.

Tim shot at Eric, whose head was slightly poking out at the side of the table, Liam grabbed Eric from behind, dragging him down fully so he avoided the bullet.

Tim got down onto his knees and crawled over to Frankie, intensely worried about his employee and someone who had become a close friend.

The team gathered around Liam, who suddenly spotted the duffel bags of money.

"We need to get out of here, let's go!" Said Diane, running over to the door along with Eric and Kurt.

The fourth one however, Liam, grabbed the two duffel bags and ran out through the front door, carrying hundreds of thousands with him as he left.

"What the hell do you have?" Asked Eric, as they all were running back to the brick wall under the loft stairs.

"Money, it was lying on the floor. I had enough time to grab it, since the three of them were distracted" said Liam.

As Theo continued to apply pressure to Frankie's wound, Tim popped up and noticed that the duffel bags weren't on the floor and that they had been stolen. His heart dropped.

He ran out of the kitchen and opened the front door, spotting the team running into the loft area.

However, before he could look to see exactly where they were going, Theo shouted out. "TIM!"

Tim ran back into the kitchen, "right, I need you to find a medkit, NOW!" Theo shouted.

Frankie began to close his eyes, Theo slapped his face, "COME ON DON'T LEAVE ME!" He shouted, not wanting to lose anyone else.

Tim rooted around, looking in cupboards and drawers until he saw a cupboard next to the freezer which he opened, sure enough inside was a medkit.

"Here you go" he said, handing it to Theo, who opened it and removed medicine, pouring it onto the cloth and rubbing it into the wound, before grabbing a tourniquet from the medkit and wrapping it around Frankie's leg.
