Derek pushes me out the door and instructs me to call the police.
"Wait!" Ivan says as I'm already out the door. "Please Derek let me explain."
"No way man. Not this time!" Derek says.
I pick up the phone to call the cops when Uncle Harry busts in the door. "I saw some asshole romping through the yard. Are you ok?"
I point to the bathroom afraid to speak. Harry heads toward the bathroom and Derek turns his head for a split second to look at him. Ivan took that chance to lunge at Derek, slamming his fist into Derek's face. Uncle Harry swung the handle of the shotgun and it caught Ivan's nose and eye and Ivan fell backwards. Derek jumps on top of him and swings repeatedly. Suddenly there's a gun shot! I squint to see who it was and I think it's Nancy. What the heck is she doing here.
"Ivan you had an excellent plan of escape." Nancy said. "I took the page from your book."
"Hi mom." Ivan says.
It's sick how they are standing there staring at each other! Derek's holding his jaw and Uncle Harry is standing there with his shotgun pointed at Ivan and he's guarded.
"Just take him out mom!" Ivan says.
"No" Derek yells as he tries to knock the gun from Nancy's hand.
The gun goes off and the bullet hits Uncle Harry in his legs and he falls to the ground, Uncle Harry's shotgun slams off the ground and it too goes off but it doesn't hit anyone. Nancy takes a shot at Derek this time and he moves out of the way just in time. Uncle Harry's shotgun landed on the ground right outside the bathroom door so I grab it. Where are the cops at? Why haven't they shown up yet? Bam! Another shot, bam bam and Derek dodges all 3 shots. Nancy's gun clicks "fuck" she yells and reaches in her bag for more bullets.
I hoist the shotgun up and aim. My dad taught me how to shoot when I was younger and surprisingly I had a pretty good shot. "Drop the gun Nancy!" I yell.
She looks at me and laughs historically. "Girl you don't have the guts to shoot. You probably don't know how to even shoot." She shoots a bullet at my feet. "I want to see you dance darlin!" She's laughing so hard at this point she gets distracted and shoots, the bullet ricocheted off my boot and hits Ivan in the arm. He cries out in pain. "Oh baby boy I'm so sorry" and she shoots at me again and this time the bullet is planted in my side. I wince and pull the trigger and the shotgun kicks back hitting Nancy in the abdomen. I didn't want to kill her I just wanted to stop her. Nancy falls to the ground and Ivan reaches down taking her gun.
"How dare you bitch!" Ivan yells as pulls the trigger. "Fuck it's jammed" and he's repeatedly cocking it.
"Drop the guns!" A mans voice from behind me shouts and I do what he says. "You son! Drop your gun!" He shouts again.
The gun clicks and Ivan lifts it like he's going to shoot. The cops didn't give him a chance and take multiple shots at him. Ivan's body jerks and jerks with each hit as he falls to the ground and he twitches until he's lifeless. Suddenly I feel the pain from the bullet wound and fall to the ground on all fours. A police officer is hoisting me up putting handcuffs on me.
Derek's now at my side. "What are you doing? Why are you arresting her?" He's shouting. "She didn't do anything, she saved us."
I look over and see the paramedics rolling Nancy and Ivan's bodies out. They were encased in body bags. I didn't think Nancy would die but I did use the shotgun and she lost a lot of blood. I murdered someone, but she was clearly trying to shoot me.
"Tell me what happened young lady." The officer says.
"I got up to go to the bathroom...can I please sit down?" I ask.
