ARSENAL (ONGOING)

PT. 8. LIVE, LIVE, LIE.

Even though Jaden was injured, he still took out a gun and pressed it against Earl's chin, so the bullet would go through his brain.
"You think it's that easy..? I won't die here." Earl said confidently, grinning.
"...How can you be so cocky in a situation like this? you're a walking contradiction. I'm about to kill you, so quit it." Jaden said, glaring at him intensely.
Earl's grin grew wider.
"Who said you'd get the chance to kill me? I won't give you my perfect death... Not a chance." He said cockily.
"If you don't die, then you're gonna end up in prison anyway." Jaden responded.
Earl chuckled, "Yeah, you think? Don't make me laugh. I'll get bail in no time." He said confidently.
"I'm not giving you that opportunity!" Jaden said, getting more furious.
"Yeah?! Well I'm not giving you your opportunity either!" Earl's finger moved slightly, as his gun was close to the back of Jaden's head.
suddenly... he felt some juice touching his foot.
"...eh?" Earl's eyes widened.
Jaden knew what this meant, and immediately let go of Earl...
it was one of Carmila's electricity potions.
As soon as the bottle broke, Earl's whole body suddenly became paralyzed by the powerful electric shock that shot through his body.
"H-hah.. all the pain to generate that one was worth it.." Carmila smirked weakly.

As Jaden took the chance to shoot Earl, he emptied multiple shots into his brain, watching his body twitching from the electricity earlier.
Jacob quickly ran over to Carmila, and carried her in his arms, running away to a safe area.
"Are you okay?! are you holding on?!" He said with worry.
"...i'm tired..." Carmila responded weakly, trying to stay awake.
"That's okay.. we won. c'mon.. let's get you to Karlos, he'll bring some people to patch you up.." he said.
She nodded slightly, too weak to speak. Her eyelids became heavy, and her eyes slowly began to close, as she fell unconscious from the blood loss and tiredness.

...
....
......

Carmila woke up in a hospital room, an IV attached to her arm.
"Ugh..." she tried to move, but flinched from the pain.
"Carmila!!"
Jacob said in a relieved tone, noticing she was awake.
"Are you okay?" He said, coming to her side.
"Yeah.. just a little in pain, but i think i'm okay." She said weakly, trying to move but failing once again.
"Jaden already recovered.. luckily, the bullet was slowed down before the impact, so it wasn't deep at all." he said.
She nodded, "What about Earl..? did you kill him?" She asked.
"Yup. He's dead. He got what he deserved." Jaden said, walking in the room.
"He really did.."
Carmila replied.
"He was a crazy mofo." Jaden huffed.

-Somewhere else.

Virmina clenched her fist as she heard the news.
"Agh.. you have got to be kidding me. that idiot.." She growled in anger.
Angel was just silent.
"...Angel?"
Virmina looked to her side, seeing Angel's eyes wide, her eyebrows furrowed in an angry expression.
Not a good sign..
Angel got up from her seat, and slammed her fists on the table.
"I'M GOING TO RIP THOSE MOTHERFUCKERS APART!!" She yelled loudly, her voice echoed through the room.
Virmina flinched at her sudden outburst, but quickly returned to her calm behavior.
"He was weak. that's his fault, that idiot.." Virmina said coldly, no remorse showing in her voice.
Virmina shook her head.
"Let's think rationally for once. Just because one of our members die doesn't mean we should go on a killing spree."
She said, slightly annoyed.
Angel turned to her with a troubled look.
"So you're just gonna let the other gangs get away with this bullshit?! They must pay for what they did!" She said, her eyes filled with rage.
Virmina glared at her slightly, as she started to lose patience.
"Angel.. the gangs are always fighting each other. if we go after them, they'll come after us. we need to be wise and strike back at the right time." She said coldly.
Angel scoffed, turning away with her arms crossed, still furious.
"Whatever... Sure, let them bury each one of us, one by one. How smart of you." She left the room, slamming the door shut.
