RUN RABBIT RUN. (BXB)

CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE. Bouncing bullets.

RAIDEN ROMANO.

I wake up to Wren sitting crosslegged inbetween my legs, watching me with cold curiousity, I blink when I feel a tug on my wrist that keeps me in place.
I'm fucking chained up??
I take in the room, Theo's tied up by the wall on a chair, there's a random half naked guy on the floor in the corner with a.. gag in his mouth, I glance over Wrenley's shoulder where Kitana is strapped to a leather seat.

I glare at Wrenley, he's so fucking dead.
I can't help but be impressed however.
"You need me Raiden, quite litteraly cuz I have the key to the cuffs.." I barely catch onto his words as I take in the feral, desperate look in his eyes.
Like he needs me to tell him he's right, he needs to hear that I need him.
I don't, not really, you're not born into the mafia and then don't know how to get out of some shitty cuffs.
I slowly start pulling my wrist outward.
If I'm lucky with the quality here the chains will snap.

"Wrenley." I warn when his eyes snap to my wrists.
"No wait- baby I just wanna talk. Don't do that.." he sucks his bottomlip inbetween his teeth.
"Either you take off these fucking cuffs or I do it myself and when I do Wrenley Rautha, not if, when. When I do I will fucking kill you." I tell him calmly.
He stares at me for a moment before he sucks in a breath and moves off the bed but instead of untying me he takes out Theo's gun and walks up behind Kitana who starts struggling against the seat.

I grab the chain and shift my weight to pull on it.
It takes a few tugs before it snaps.
Wrenley's head jerks back to me, his jaw tightens but he doesn't move to stop me, instead he puts Theo's gun on a nearby dresser before he leans back on it, watching me.
I take off the rest of the restraints and move off the bed.
Wrenley turns his back on me and walks out of the room.

I grab the gun and Theo grunts, I glance over, his mouth is taped, he looks absolutely fed up with the situation.
His gaze flicks to his gun I'm holding before I step out of the room.
Wren has his back to me, arms crossed over his chest as if he's sulking.

I raise the gun and pull the trigger but there's nothing besides the soft click.
He took the fucking bullets, ofcourse he did.
Wrenley chuckles at the sound "Holy shit you were actually gonna shoot me?" he turns to face me.

I drop the gun as I stalk towards him, when it hits the ground it fires at the wall, I narrow my eyes but keep my gaze locked on him.
"Ever heard of russian roulette? You just wasted your only bullet baby." he grins.
He thinks this is a game, just like he always does. 

I slam my forearm against his throat and shove him into the wall.
His eyes squint as he lets out a choked cough.
I lower my lips to lips to his ear "How many fucking times do I need to tell you I don't have time for your fucking games?" I bite out every single word.

His hand pushes against my chest in protest as he tries to suck in air.
"Raiden I can't-" he wheezes out.
"Breathe?" I finish his sentence as he struggles against me "Yeah, that's the point cariño, ever heard of dying?" I taunt.
His eyes are tearing up from the lack of oxygen.
I stare at him.

This is no different than the dozens of other times I've killed people.
But when his eyes roll back and his knees give out my body acts on instinct, my arm leaves his throat and my arm wraps around his waist to stop him from hitting the ground.

He gasps as air enters his lungs, grabbing onto my jacket before he shoves me back, which only results in him dropping to his knees in a coughing fit.
I crouch down and slip my gun out of his pants, checking the bullets, there's eleven which means he fired one.

"Who'd you shoot?" I ask him.
He coughs "I-" another cough "I had to get in through the roof-" more coughing "It was locked." he raises his head to look at me, his eyes red from the lack of oxygen moments before but that feral look is gone, he seems calmer now.

I grab his jaw and turn his face to the side as I notice the scar across his cheek for the first time.
My blood boils at the sight "What happened?" I think back to the half naked guy, probably the owner of this house.
"Bouncing bullets.." he looks at me.
I raise an eyebrow at his explanation before releasing my hold on his jaw.
