Demon

chapter 111

"forgive me"

Callum pushed her hard, he pushed her out of the way so hard she fell to the ground behind the large bin.
Clara hissed in pain when she hit her head but she quietly got herself into a better position to see what was going to happen.

She wasn't stupid. She knew Callum had a plan. She wasn't going to mess the plan up. 

"Where is the girl" one man said.

"What girl?" Callum played dumb.

"The girl you were with. You came down the alley together " another man said.

"Oh her. She  rejected me and ran away. I thought I was attractive. apparently not. What do you guys think?"  He was rambling on purpose.

Callum knew he could have hurt Clara when he pushed her, he also didn't know how this would turn out, so he had asked her to forgive him.

Seconds before they approached and as they were running down the alley, Callum had given a street address to a number. It was encrypted but he knew Damon would get the message after passed on to him.

They needed a car to get somewhere and they couldn't just steal one. So the receiver of the message would send a car.

"I look hot right" Callum asked again.

The three men were confused but snapped out of it all pointing their guns at Callum.

"You could have just said no" Callum sighed dramatically.

"Where is the girl" they asked again.

"Tell me why you want her and I might tell you were you can find her" Callum said, knowing that they could all be connected.

One man got fed up and tried to shoot Callum but Callum was quicker and pulled his own gun out and shot the man between the eyes. In that moment Callum's whole demeanor changed, he became much more serious and it was clear why he had such a high rank in the mafia

That's when the chaos started.
Clara wanted to jump in and help but she knew Callum wouldn't be happy, she kept the gun out just in case though.

Callum easily beat the two men but one wrong move and he was suddenly being held at gun point.

"Give me the girl and I won't kill you"

Callum nodded "you win. I'll tell you where she is" he said dragging his words out.
Callum was quick to pull out one of the many knives he kept hidden and stabbed the man who was holding him at gun point.

"I've just killed them both. You should really tell me what you want with her before I kill you too" Callum said to the last man.

"She needs to pay for what she did" the man said and didn't hesitate to fire his gun at Callum.

Clara wasn't going to let him die for her and without hesitation she flung herself at Callum who looked annoyed that she had given herself away but grateful that she had saved his life.

The man smirked and fired again but this time Callum switched their positions, he shielded her with his body as multiple shots were fired.

The man was an awful shooter though and when he needed to reload, Callum shot him between the eyes.

"Fuck" Callum finally felt the impact of the two bullet wounds. One in his arm and one in his abdomen.

"Oh god. Callum. I'm sorry" Clara felt immense guilt knowing he took the bullets because he couldn't move to fire his own gun without her getting hurt.

"It's fine. Next time stay hidden" Callum said as he went to the men.

If they were part of a gang, they would have a tattoo.
