“End of the line for you now eh John” Paul says, as he was chuckling. His two goons were pointing their guns at John. John wasn’t looking; he was looking down at Victoria’s lifeless body, stroking her face with his hand.
“Well, you win this time. Take my life away. I don’t need it anymore. Everything is gone now. You win, you worthless piece of crap” John angrily shouted as he clutched Victoria’s lifeless body towards his.
“Since your gonna die, let us just turn off these candles, and open the fluorescent okay?” Paul said. He pointed at the lights to one of his goons. Then one of them turned off each single candle, and then turned on the fluorescent light.
“3…..” the goons said, as they cocked their guns.
“2…..” Paul said as he smiled.
“1…..” John said, as he closed his eyes.
Suddenly the lights went off. After a few minutes, a few ruckus was heard, some footsteps. Then a few gunshots shed some light unto the blank scene. Paul was startled for he saw two shadows moving, when the flash of the gun illuminated the scene.
“What the fuck is going on? Who turned off the damn lights?” Paul shouted.
“That would be us” Samuel said, as he turned on the lights.
Paul was horrified to see that one of his goons was hanging by the neck from the ceiling, dead. The other one was on the floor with a laceration wound on the neck. Paul was taken by surprise. He saw two men. Samuel was holding a small dagger which was dripping with blood, and he also saw Ted, the man who saved John from drowning, who was a former henchman of Enrique.
“You know kid, I once killed twenty men with this knife during the Vietnam war. And guess who will be the twenty second?” Samuel angrily said, as he clutched the knife’s blade in his fingers as if he was about to throw it to Paul.
“You cannot do this to me” Paul said, as he walked backwards to the glass window.
“I don’t care if you are the son of my brother” Samuel said, as he angrily approached. Ted as the time was comforting John.
“Why did you come back?” John said, as he was traumatized by what happened.
“Well, I am your best man, and its my job to help you” Ted said.
“How did you know, that I was about to be murdered tonight?” John asked again, but he is still not looking at Ted for he was sitting on the floor by the bed.
“Well, me and Samuel actually never left the reception. We helped clean up after the party. Then we watched football with some of the crew after we cleaned up on the television at the back room. Then when I went out to take a bathroom break, I saw Paul and two other guys climb up the stairs armed with pistols. So I quickly called Samuel, and then I grabbed some rope that I could find. Well, Samuel never leaves his knife which he used during the Vietnam war so we went up here” Ted said to John.
Meanwhile, Samuel said:
“Goodbye Paul, say hi to your father for me” with that he threw the knife at Paul. Paul quickly jumped out of the glass window to avoid the knife coming towards him.
“That took care of him” Samuel said, as Paul fell from the glass window of the building. Then he went to Ted, and they pulled John up. Ted, Samuel and John wrapped Victoria in the bed sheets. After a while, Samuel, John and Ted were holding up Victoria’s body, when they saw out the window Paul who was hanging onto a helicopter.
