The New Boss

CHAPTER 27: The End or Just The Beginning?!?

FRANKIE

After moments of the rapid gunfire going off throughout the place, I had made sure that Helena stayed by my side.

Aside from her being badass herself and being able to finish a good dist fight, this was different. Besides, she is still like a sister to me and my best friend. Not to mention I was afraid of losing her the way I lost my other best friend, Hallie. And I refused to let that happen again under my watch.

I got a few shots in and even managed to punch someone, knocking them out thanks to the brass knuckles Raiden had customized for me not too long ago.

Eventually it got down to where Helena was out of ammo and I only had a little left, therefore the only thing I had to think of quickly was to head into the room where Raiden and I had recently talked in before this all started.

With her hand in mine we started making a run for it as soon as we noticed it was clear to do so.

We tried locking the door behind us but fere both so shaky that we had no choice but to put a chair underneath the door handle and pressed against the door while trying to find weapons somewhere.

The only thing I could find that would even work as a good weapon was the cast iron poker you use to move the fire logs in the fireplace. We next hid and locked ourselves inside the closet that was located on the other side of the fireplace.

We heard somebody try and get inside the room and not knowing exactly who it was, both Helena and I stayed as quiet as we could. We even tried covering our mouths so that it would be difficult to hear us breathing.

Helena hid behind me, further in the closet while I stood there near the door, gripping onto the fire poker as tight as I could, preparing for anybody trying to bust open this door.

"Frankie..." I heard a guy's voice coaxing for me to come out. However, I know better. "I know you're in here. Come on, I won't bite." He continued until we heard the door open again and then close.

Not a moment later did I hear the very same voice I have wanted to hear for a while now....CHESTER!

I tried to still not make a sound and just gripped the poker tighter while positioning myself, ready for if they bust open the door.

They both talked with one another and although I could not really make out a lot of what they were saying because it was hard to hear through these thick walls and this thick closet door, I did get almost every other word and knew they would never give up. It was now just seconds before they found Helena and I in here.

Sure enough, just a couple of moments later, they both become silent and within seconds, the door handle begins rattling and moving vigorously. I knew it was literally coming down to the wire.

Next thing I knew, the door was being locked in and it only took just a few kicks before there was a hole in the door and Chester's face looked in and before he had a chance to say or do anything else, I punched him right in the nose as hard as I could.

He backed up while holding his nose and yelling in pain but then he quickly recovered enough to open the door and just as I started to swing the poker at Vince, he immediately backed up in time then grabbed the poker and threw it off to the side before slapping me really hard with enough force and causing me to turn back around at the closet to where I quickly motion at Helena with my finger over my mouth to be quiet, then shut the door the moment I felt two arms wrap around me from behind and right away knew it was Chester.

I quickly was able to wriggle my way around in his arms enough to quickly break free from him enough to look at him and scratch his face again before he punched me hard enough to make my head turn again.

"She is a feisty bitch isn't she?!" Vince commented.

"Fuck you!" I spat at him.

"Maybe later sweetheart." He told me.  "For now, shut her the fuck up, if you can handle it." He told Chester.

I did not make it easy for him but then he covered my mouth with his hand and jammed a gun up underneath my chin and demanded I be quiet or else while he held me against the side of the fireplace.

A moment later was when we heard the door open, yet again, only this time, it was Raiden.

The moment I saw Vince give Chester the gesture to bring me out, Chester then grabbed my hair and pulled on it roughly, making me wince in more pain than I was already in before next pushing me onto my knees.

The look in Raiden's eyes was guilt, pain and I know rage. I love him so much.

"Now that I have your attention," Vince began telling Raiden. "Might I suggest we have a little talk?!"

"I have nothing to say to you. I already know what you want. You want my title. Well you're gonna have to kill me for it because there is no chance in hell I will just give it to you like your father gave you everything else your whole pathetic life." Raiden told him.

That seemed to make Vince grow even more enraged.

"So be it then." Vince told Raiden. "Since you do not seem to want to play nice, then I guess there is only one thing I need to do."

I knew what he meant in that moment. Suddenly everything and everyone seemed to immediately become just murmurs in the distance and slow like in the movies.

The next thing I knew I was mouthing 'I love you' to Raiden, in case this next move was going to kill me.

He looked at me confused but then suddenly realized what it meant as I quickly turned around and grabbed the poker Vince had thrown off to the side, then jabbed it straight into the same knee I shot Chester in, causing him to fall down and scream in pain before I heard the cocking of a gun sound and when I saw Vince now pointing a gun at me, getting ready to shoot, I saw Raiden jump onto him, knocking him onto the ground.

While they fought each other I then got up and yanked out the fire poker, getting ready to jam it right back into him again until I felt Chester grab his gun and shoot me in the arm, making me take steps back, causing me to drop the poker.

He gets ready to shoot at me again but thankfully, Helena comes running out of the closet, yelling "FUCK YOU!" To him before she starts bashing his head in with her foot a few times until I saw Markus and a couple of beatened up Raiden's guys come running into the room with their weapons and Markus stops Helena.

Then a few of Raiden's guys all had to pull him off of Vince.

"He's fucking dead, Raiden!" They repeated to him but Raiden did not want to stop beating him more.

I would say that between Helena and Raiden, neither Chester or Vince will be recognizeable, and are most certainly dead now.

I am not sure as to why exactly, but I began to feel lightheaded and started to lose my balance before eventually, everything went black.

Next chapter will be posted soon! :)
