"So you're telling me, that you've been in a relationship with a boy for six years, and never once have sex before?!" Lexi says from behind me as I point the gun up, listening for anyone around the corner as I take the stairs up while Lexi walks casually.

"Yes, that's exactly what I was saying." I say, looking up as I take the stairs by two. I push open the door to the last floor of the hotel, and point my gun both ways down the halls. Listening for anything and hearing nothing, I motion for Lexi to follow me.

"And you don't ever get horny? Like at all? Becaus—" I slam a hand on her mouth when I heard something thud against a wall and I push Lexi behind me, I heard it in the room on my right. Hearing the muffle of a scream, I quickly grab Lexi and shoved her into the hotel room on the left. Closing the door softly, I motion for Lexi to get into the bathroom while I locked the hotel room door. I peek into the small peeking hole in the door and I watch with wide eyes as a man opens the door across from us, his hands were covered with blood as he wipes them on his pants before leaving the floor. I waited till the close was clear before unlocking the door and moving to the room across from me.

Gripping onto the gun, I take in a deep breath before entering the room. I gasp when I saw what happen in here. An American family of four, the mother was on the bed not moving, naked and on the other bed was a little girl not over thirteen with her clothes rip apart and the inside of her thighs were covered in blood. On the floor, I'm guessing her brother who probably was around fifteen, was laying on the floor in a pool of his blood, a gunshot between his blue eyes. The father had a bullet to his head and his chest, he was leaning against the wall from the front door.

"Holy crap." I gasp and back away, quickly closing the door. The gun shakes in my hands when I know that that family was slaughtered and the mother and daughter were raped before they were murdered. I had a feeling that muffle scream was from the little girl.

"Lexi, come on." I say, going back to the room. When I heard no response, I grip onto my gun and slowly took cautious steps. I went to the bathroom where I knew Lexi went and slowly push open the door. "Lexi, I swear, if you're trying to scare me, I'll put a bullet—fuck!" I yelled, jumping, my heart practically fell out of my chest when I open the shower curtain to see a man holding onto Lexi with a knife to her neck. "Fucking bastard!" I said, gasping and he pressed it more against her neck, enough for some blood to come out. Pointing the gun at his face, I tell him. "Let go of her or I will put a bullet through your head."

He narrows his eyes at me, and I nod at him. "You don't wanna test me bro."

When he pulls the knife away, Lexi kicks him in the groin and I quickly shot the man before he could do anything else. His blood splatters against us and I grimace as he falls into the bathtub, knocking his head against the faucet.

"Okay, I need a change of clothes. I got blood all over me!" Lexi says, sighing as she motions to herself and I grab her wrist, pulling her out of the bathtub, and I look over her, looking for any signs of injures.

"Were you hurt?" I ask her, and when I found nothing, I look up at her only to see her pressing a hand to her neck.

"No, just with the knife he had against my neck." She tells me and I nod, going through the sink drawers and finding a band aid. I hand it to her while I walk out of the bathroom, heading to the door of the hotel room. "Come on, let's get to the roof." I say, and check the halls to make sure there wasn't another of Demi's men around. Finding no one else, I move to the exit leading to the roof with Lexi behind me.
