The New Man and My Baby

ENDING

             I was in the front room and I was shooting anyone in my sight that didn't drop a gun. My mind was on the mission. I knew I had to keep my mind on the mission as to keep myself and the rest of the team safe. I was making my way to the hallway when a door busted open to my left and a guy came out with a gun. I didn't think twice before I shot off a round hitting him right between the eyes. I never claimed to be a marksman but I didn't own my own company for shits and giggles either.

Making my way silently up the hall I heard a voice coming from another room. I didn't know what to expect so I crept to the room and put my ear to the door. I made sure not to make noise I just wanted to 'see' what I was up against. Then I heard, 'Hey sweet thang what do you say we have some fun. Hearing Nick talk about you all the time, him and his goons made me jealous I didn't get a taste myself.' I just knew he was talking to Karri. I had to stop myself before I went busting into the room trying to shoot everything around me and I didn't know how many people were in there yet. I had to play it smart. I took a step back and looked up and down the hallway looking for Nick or any of his goons. I knew they were still here and it would only take a matter of seconds for me to loose my concentration and one of them could take me out. I would be no good to Karri and the twins dead that was for sure.

I knew I had to play it safe I put the gun in the back of my waistband of my camo pants. I knew I would have to think on the fly because if there was more men in there I was going to have to figure out how to kill them all while keeping Karri safe at the same time.

I hunched my shoulders over like I was really hurt and opened the door and fell through. As I was going down I got a quick look around the room and saw there wasn't anyone there but Karri and a goon. He had her on the bed and I knew what he was trying to do to her. Both of their heads snapped to me as I came through the door and I thought fast. He was no longer looking at her which meant he wasn't thinking about the gun that I saw on the floor next to the filthy bed. I sprang up with the agility of a circus acrobat and pulled out my gun before anyone could blink and the guy was on the floor next to the bed.

Karri was still frozen on the bed. To be honest I think she was in shock. I wouldn't be surprised if she was to be honest. So much had happened with her I just knew it would take a miracle to keep her from losing her mind about it all. I knew I had to find them babies to keep her sane too. I don't know anyone woman who would be OK if sh lost her kids. I didn't even want to think about that type of thing.

"Karri baby I'm here to get you. Don' worry it will be OK." I said to her. I took calm steps towards her like she was going to take off any time soon.

I swear when I heard Xaiven's voice my heart stopped beating. I just thought my whole life was over. To be honest I had given up. When he got me on the bed I was thinking about how I was going to end my life. I can't even think about my babies right now. The only thing that was going thought my head was there was no way in hell Xaiven would want a used up piece of trash like me. I heard the gun go off and I felt the body drop away from me but I was still in too much of a shock to move. I was so happy it wasn't going to happen to me again.

I felt his presence next to the bed as he was talking to me in a calm voice. I was too scared to even think straight. Hell I was shaking like a lone leaf in a tropical storm somewhere. All I could think of was 'not this time'. I felt his hand brush over my face and hair and that was all it took for me to break down I just let the tears flow free.

"Shhhhh, it's OK baby. I got you. I'm so sorry I took so long to get to you." all he did was talk to me in a soothing voice while rocking me on his lap.

"Oh god Xaiven I'm so glad you are here. I came in here because I heard my babies. Please you gotta help me fine em."

"OK, OK calm down Karri. You sit here and I will look for them. You know I care about the babies too, but you need to calm down because the twins with be in enough distress when we find them so you need to be calm in order to keep them calm."
