SHADOWS OF NEW YORK

NIKI

Christ, this woman is something else.aria blinked up at me, her eyes like rich pools of chocolate in the dim light. "I was right," . " you think I am weak right?".A dull throb sprang up behind my temple. I suddenly wished I'd never agreed to myself to come out of the party and go after her.aria stood up, bringing her face closer to mine. Every muscle in my body tensed. "niki , do you have a crush on me?". Absolutely not.Irritation ignited in my chest. I wasn't romantically interested in her—my interest was intellectual, nothing else—but was the prospect that terrible?." aria, grow up seriously" ."We're not in high school," I said, voice tight. "I don't get crushes.". I stood up from the bench and towered over her and then she said  ."What is your type of love inter—"

She didn't get a chance to finish her sentence before a few screams from the building that we excited shredded the restaurant's hushed elegance into tatters." what the -". " fuck fuck ". aria and me run towards back to the building with a gun that I tucked behind my jacket. I turned to look at aria already having a gun in her hand ." where the fuck did u get that from". I she looked so annoyed " I told you I am smarter than you. and is that really important". we went inside while the other people where running out of the building . ok that's a good sign . we both stood infront of  the door where the screams came from. I signed aria to wait . I kicked the door opened holding my gun up.i calmly walks behind a nearby pillar. the killer didn't notice me yet since he was back facing me and a holding a gun ... striking  a girls neck. when I looked who it was . shit shit shit. it was jules who was being hold as a hostage . aria was still outside the entrance waiting for my call.  

The attacker began to threaten  Jules. "Tell me where your dad is and where he hid the card." Jules felt tears streaming down her face as she gasped for breath. "Wha... what ca... card? Please let me go, I have no idea!" she yelled, "Someone, please help me!" The assailant, furious, struck Jules in the face with the gun, hitting her forehead. She cried out in agony. "Be quiet, you worthless brat."

think niki...think..fuck it. I put my gun back into my jacket and I slid across the table right toward the guy  and I threw an elbow straight into his face. He let out a grunt, clearly in pain, and said, "What the hell?" I couldn't help but think how stupid he looked, acting all tough. Then he shoved Jules down to the ground and aimed the gun at me. "Whoa, whoa, take it easy, man! We're just getting started, and you think you can point that thing at me?".He suddenly burst out laughing for no reason. "Hey, you tall tree, get down on your knees!"  no way am I getting on my knees. Then he whistled, clearly signaling for the other members  to join in. fuck there is more ..
