Chapter 7 "Shooter"

Tina's POV
2:12p.m

We're here and it's fairly cool. We exit the car and we're now walking from the parking lot to the range. After a few steps, we land in front of a big metal gate painted in green and black. Two fully armed men are positioned at either end of the gate.

"Boss," I hear one of them greet him as he opens the gate to what I now know to be the shooting range we set out to be at.

"Boss?" I give him a puzzling look and he chuckles.

"Yeah, I own the place," he responds nonchalantly. Like it's not a big deal to him.

Who the hell owns a shooting range?

"Yuh coming?" he asks.

Not yet. Anyways.

"Yeah," I say, increasing my pace to catch up with him.

We head to a small room where we're greeted by a nice lady that gives us all the protective gear and guns of our choosing.

"Bullet proof vests are advised," the woman says.

"I'd take one but I'm almost sure it won't fit over my chest," I smile shyly and Oshane chuckles.

"What gun will you have?" she asks and Oshane walks over to us after having his vest fixed.

"2 glock 19's for me," I tell her, adjusting my waistband holster. This causes Oshane to look at me and I'm unsure why.

"What?" I ask as his eyes scan my face with confusion.

"You have gun experience?" he asks and I smile and nod.

"Yes, a little," I say and he gives me a smirk of approval. The look on his face shows how impressed he is that I know what a glock 19 is.

"And you sir?" she asks and he takes the same thing as me.

I slide both guns into the holster and adjust the gloves on my hand, they aren't needed for me but I like having them. It's just more comfortable.

We position ourselves in front of our chosen targets where we are handed noise cancelling headphones.

I put them on and look over at Oshane. He walks over to me and tries to tell me what to do to which I respond with, "thanks but I have it." He then puts his hands up in defeat.

"Just be careful of..." he starts to say before I cut him off.

"Recoil, I know," I chuckle and he smiles and gives me a nod of reassurance.

I take both guns out and load them with 9mm bullets as required. I take the safety off, double checking to make sure they're all off. I smile when I'm pleased. A target is placed at least 10 metres away from my current position.

"Hey Lia, not to bother you but could you give me an extra target? If it's not a problem," I ask the woman at the counter. Her name tag reads "Lia." Pretty name, pretty girl too.

"Uh, yeah. No problem," she says and a few minutes later she brings out another target.

Before I began shooting I made a bet with Oshane. I told him that if I hit the bullseye on both targets, we'll stay at a hotel until tomorrow and he has to pay for it. He agreed so now I'm set.

I give myself a small countdown before firing the first bullet.

The first bullet is fired from the gun in my right hand then the second bullet is fired from the gun in my left. The sound of gunfire is heard, the roof of the building echoes every shot. The gunfire continues until every last spent shell hits the concrete floor. All 30 spent shells are scattered on the floor around me. Touching the tip of the gun right now could burn right through the skin, of that I'm sure.

"Holy fuck," I hear as I blow the tip of both guns, spinning them on my index and putting the safety back on and sliding them back into the holster then removing the headset.

Watch showoff cow girl she.

"What?" I smile with the most innocent look on my face. At this point I'm the only female shooter here but me and Oshane are also the only ones shooting. All eyes are on me as Oshane walks over to me with the most impressed look on his face.

"Bloodclaat Tina," he says, a little more excited than he anticipated. His expression wears nothing but pure shock.

"What?" I chuckle nervously.

"Mi still have bullet lef and mi sure we start roughly the same time," I explained and I smiled.

Everybody around us is shocked, flabbergasted almost. Have they never seen a woman that's skilled with a gun?

"Well shall we go and check the target?" I ask.

"Definitely," he says.

We walk over to the targets and only one single gaping hole is visible in the center of both targets. I smile, pleased with myself.

"I win," I whisper in his ear. I wink at him and walk away, doing a little victory dance.

"Oye weh yah guh? Come back," he instructs and I roll my eyes. "Lia, bring me my phone."

She soon comes running with the phone in hand. I know why he called me back. So instinctively I pose in between both targets with both guns in hand. One pointing in both directions.

"Well that was unexpected," he admits. We're standing in front of an igloo from which he takes a Smirnoff ice.

"I've been practising since I was at least 12, that's 10 years ago," I tell him and he throws a Smirnoff to me as well without even asking if I drink. But I do so it's fine. I use the heel of my shoes to open the bottle, to this he takes notice and he smiles. He takes the challenge and uses his teeth to open his, I roll my eyes at his pettiness but I'm impressed nevertheless.

"And I started at 10, dat a like 22 years ago," he laughs and I choke on my own spit.

"Wah?" I ask with wide eyes and confusion written all over my face.

Did this man just say 22 years ago? Or did I hear wrong.

"What is it," he asks with a quirked brow.

"You're 32?" I gasp and he laughs. When was he going to tell me this?

"Yes and you're young," he shrugs and I stand stuck in place.

He's 10 years older than me, I would never have guessed. He doesn't look a day over 25. This pulls me to think.

What other secrets are you keeping Mr. Simmonds?

________

"Hotel it is," he says.

We say our goodbyes to the staff before heading to the car where we head to a small hotel that he owns in the area.

Win day, let's see how the rest of the day decides to play out.

Me? Love Tina bad bad. She's such a badass but with the naivity of a 5 year old.
