Lola Brinks//Lola
---------------------------

The stakes are now high. The tension was high. I looked around and could spot Taylor at the far corner, ready to strike. He gave me that look of worry. Not that he was worried of himself but for....me.

It's then I knew I had to get them all out alive...even if it means I have to die or get hurt in the process. This is all my fault so now I gotta fix it!

"Lola just drop it will ya..." said Rugrat. "You're wasting your time here"

"Fuck you and fuck off." I gritted. I know damn well he's gonna test my patience the whole way to let Midnight out. 

Suddenly a whole bunch of gunshots went out and a few things just crashed. 

KNEW IT!

"COVERRRR!!!!" I ducked and fell to the floor and my mind instantly went to Onika.

"shit!" I mumbled. I looked on the radar on my wrist to check which side Pooter and Kris were and ran towards them.

"I need y'all to get her out of this place...now! I'on know if those shots will continue any further but she's in great dang-

Suddenly the lights went on and...

"BUSTEDDDD!!!!!!!" Tjay chuckled his knife to Onika's throat. Fuck!

"Tjay, let her Go! She has nun to do with this." I yelled, my heart beating. "Don't you fucking dare..." I looked over at Lamar and saw his veins popping out of his neck. Shit this is bad!

"See, Armani we could've settled this easily but you were too stubborn" He shook his head. "Bro how the fuck is it my fault that I'm the more responsible one" talking about the fact that I have more power and control over HR. 

"Yea right" Shots were fired and it was then I realized we were not the only ones in the room. "You motherfuckers" I mumbled.

We all just started firing random shots everywhere and it was sickening me. I looked over at the sight where Oni and Tjay were at and saw they weren't there anymore.

GODDAMNIT!

"They went left..."

"Kris, Pooter get her out of here. I'll cover you."

I let them go first but then I felt myself being held in a chokehold. "Not going anywhere darling"

"Let me go!" I struggled against Rugrat's grip. "Nah uh-"  i elbowed him in the gut and his grip loosened. I got out of his chokehold, just for me to be pulled back.

"You're not going anywhere" He pulled me closer. "You could've made this easier for yourself by just giving up the first time, but you still came back...now look. Too bad I'ma have to end your plan" He chuckled, his grip around my neck just becoming tighter. 

Fuck, the oxygen is my lungs is running out. "You should've just given up-ahhh!"

"Leaving is one thing, giving up is another and I...would never give up." I smirked as he let go of me, my knife stuck deep within his leg.  "See ya in a bit bitchass." I chuckled.

-----[]---[]-----

I heard Onika's screams from the mere end. "You okay?" I heard Tai's voice from my earpiece. "Yea." i breathed. "Ah!"

I took a deep breath and ran towards the noise. Kris was in the corner with his gun out and a few bruises on him. Fuck. He showed me a thumps up and pointed up ahead. 

I heard more noise up ahead and moved that direction.

"Let her go Tjay..." i walked up to them, my body cold...

"ha, you're crazy" he breathed...he's injured somewhere but I don't know where. The only possible way he could get an injury is from Onika...or Kris.

"Why do u even want her.." I said. I noticed Lamar creeping up behind him and I signaled him with my eyes not to do anything.

"If you can manage to kill me, you'll find out" he smirked and he fired a shot behind him...shit.

Luckily Lamar managed to avoid it. "What do you mean if I manage to kill you, I'll find out" i asked quite confused. I looked at Onika for answers. She looked oblivious to what he's saying but couldn't help but think maybe she knew something...

"What I mean is what I mean, now back the fuck up" he pointed his gun at me. "whoa, so you seriously gonna shoot me?" I put my hands up in mock surrender.

"It depends. Tell you friend to come into my view." he motioned his head to the front. I glared at him and looked past him and saw Lamar at the far corner. "Oh and tell him to drop his weapons too."

shit..

For some fucking reason, he actually did it and came to stand next to me. "bro what the fuck" I whispered to him. "chill"

"I know you're still armed but it's chilled because I have one more options now." he chuckled...what:

"Either I blow her brains out" he pointed the gun at her head and fear coated Onika's face.
"Shoot her where she cant breath" he pointed it at her throat.
"orrr" he lowed it to her stomach...shit. 
"I slightly harm this little fetus" he said with an evil smirk.

"Lamar..." Oni trembled. 

"Or you guys" he averted his gun between Lamar and I. "Do it" i challenged.

BOOM

My mind suddenly became blank and next thing I knew Onika was out of Tjay's grip and in the far corner with Lamar and Kris. 

I saw Kris and Pooter leave with her...just as planned.

There was a boom and that's when I realized we weren't alone...again.

Things are going down
