Love & death: Feel it all

A game

Bills pov:

There are only faint sounds of people talking in the basement. Georg and I are as quiet as possible when we go down there. I'm praying that they have their backs turns to us because the red light is gonna make my dark appearance very obvious. Georg will make us even more obvious with his clumsiness. He stumbles over his own feet making a thump noise against the stairs.

I throw my hand back and hold Georg back while I stop completely. The voices stop talking for a second but then they seem to think that it was nothing and they start discussing again. We keep walking down until we reached the floor. Now we have a view of the whole place. The giant basement lit up by red light, people in black clothes standing around a tall man and a woman with long bright hair. Something about her voice sounds familiar though.

"Lana..." Georg whispers behind me. None of them have seen us yet, not even the tall man who can see everything and everybody.

"Svetlana." Georg whispers again, and then I see the correlation. Lana... the person who apparently kidnapped Nurse Maeves son, using him as blackmail... it's Svetlana. The russian whore that Gustav used to fuck.
And then theres the man. It's clear to see that it's Brad like Tom said.

"Hey!" One of the men dressed in black screams and they stop talking. Svetlana and Brad turn around frantically, and they see us. Georg and I pull out our guns and walk closer. It's the only way to get Scarlett, sitting on a chair in the middle of the room, with us back home.

"We've been expecting you..." someone comes down the stairs and Svetlana pauses to listen and watch. I look behind me. It's Tom, not carrying Cat. I'm not sure whats happening but he must have a plan or something. He comes down with his gun raised just like Georg and I.

"And you as well. Good! Now we're all here." Svetlana says, almost as if this is all a game. A dumb game on TV.
She turns to look at Scarlett, apparently she woke up because her head starts rolling backwards. I wanna run and untie her and just take her home now, making it all so easy, but I wont be able to.

"I've always admired you Scarlett. Since the day I met you I thought you were so beautiful and deserved a better life. Though... I knew that you would never get a better life. But... then when you ran away to Germany with the love of your life... Bill - or whatever he is - I realized that I had to make your life a living hell. I had to show you that you cant escape this because you seemed to think that you could." Svetlana says, moving closer to Scarlett and grabbing her chin to control her head movement since she cant do it herself.

She's looking up at Svetlana with the most evil look I have ever seen on her face. It makes me believe that we can get out of here. Even after everythibg thats happened to her throughout her life, she still has that feisty strenght in her.

"Pathetic." Scarlett spits at Svetlana. I almost smile at her reaction. It's so her to do that. But maybe that's not the smartest thing to say right now.
Svetlana lets go of her face and reaches her hand out to slap her. I see it coming so I shoot. I wasn't planning on actually shooting before I needed to, but I'm not gonna let anyone hurt Scarlett while I can still prevent it.

Svetlana screams and holds onto her lower arm. Judging by the small amount of dripping blood, the bullet only grazed her but its enough to stop her from slapping Scar.
Scarlett looks over at me. I can barely see it in the red light, but she smiles at me.

Svetlana pov:

This isnt going according to plan. I knew they would have weapons, but I didnt think they would be here already. Now they all have guns pointing at us. I'm not sure how many of my men are upstairs. Most of them are down here, in front of Bill, Tom and Georg. We need someone behind them that they dont expect.

Its hard to focus when my arm is bleeding like crazy. Brad immediately comes over and grabs my arm. His grip is much tighter than mine and should eventually stop the bleeding somewhat.

"Bitch." Scarlett whispers beside me. I look at her with fire in my eyes. I wish I could burn a hole right through her skull with my eyes. I decide to wait to do something to her until all of then are in chairs.

Almost as if it was on command, I see one of my men behind them with a syringe in one hand and a bat in the other. I see the plan in his head. Make one of them sleep and hit the other and fight the third until hes on the ground too. It could work. Risky, but it could work.

"Hah." I laugh and grin at them. They dont understand whats happening until Georg falls to the floor with a yelp. He hot the syringe. Bill and Tom turn faster than I thought possible. Before my man can hit Tom with the bat, he grabs it in the air pretending that it doesnt hurt but I know it does.
He rips the bat out of his hand and lets it fall to the floor. Clearly he needs help.

"Help him." I say to my other men while I stand and do nothing other than wait for the bleeding to stop.
I expect that they will get knocked out eventually with this fight. Six against two. Theres no way they could win that.

Toms pov:

A gunshot sounds but im too busy fighting this annoyingly weak man dressed in black to see whats happening. Then another shot and one more. It's coming from Bills direction.

"NO!" Svetlana screams before I hear Scarlett scream "YES!"
Bill grunts and then I get hit in the back of the head with a gun. Bill shoots the person just as im able to get in a good hit on the man in front of me. He isnt knocked out yet. But i manage to get my hands around his throat and pull him closer, his back to my stomach. It hurts both my arm and the logo but ill take care of that once hes dead.

I see almost all of Svetlanas men dead on the ground with bulletholes. I decide to put my gun to use and shoot the last guy. Now, theres only the guy in my arms, Brad and Svetlana and shes wounded

Killing these guys was easier than I imagined. Maybe becauee Bill didnt have a guy punching at him so he could shoot the rest. Its really badly planned by Scarlett and Brad. They must have been planning this for a long time, but I always knew Brad wasnt so clever. Though I expected more from Svetlana.

Once the guy in my arms is finally dead, i let him fall to the floor as I watch how terrified and angry Svetlana looks. And Brad doesnt look too happy either.
