Second Chances

Chapter 16

"Kill him?" Mackenzie widened her eyes. "He better not try and kill Luke."

"He might try if Luke doesn't agree to a fight." Sarah sighed. "Romeo is super desperate to get the ring back."

"You have to tell him that Luke won't do it. The ring is Luke's entire life, he won't let go of it that easy." Mackenzie said, looking at Sarah. "Romeo has to back down."

"Oh sweetheart, I think you know that Romeo will do no such thing." Mackenzie gasped as she heard that all too familiar voice. Al.

"What are you doing here?" Mackenzie asked, trying to keep her voice strong.

"Well, when Romeo heard that his little niece was meeting up with little Lukey's girl, he sent Grayson and I to check on you both, making sure you didn't do anything stupid." Al smirked and stepped closer to Mackenzie.

"Leave us alone." She seethed, backing up. "You know Luke wouldn't hesitate to kill you if you touch me, or Sarah, for that matter. I'll make sure of that."

"Luke won't know that I've touched you, unless you tell him in person." Al crossed his arms and Grayson stood in a similar position beside him, his biceps flexing, both of them taking a step closer to the girls.

"You think I wouldn't tell Luke?" Mackenzie rolled her eyes and looked at Sarah. "Sarah, we need to go now." She tried to grab Sarah's hand and make her way to the door, but they were blocked by the two other men.

"You're not going anywhere. It's cute you think you'll be alive to tell Luke what happened." Al smirked, leaning against the front of the door. Mackenzie froze before turning and tried to grab Sarah again before sprinting down the alley to get away, Sarah following her. Al scrambled to pull out his gun out from his jeans and fired at the two girls as they ran. Mackenzie felt the crippling pain course through her leg. The first bullet pierced through her leg causing her to trip and hit the ground, causing Sarah to trip over her. Through the tears welling in her eyes, she could see Al and Grayson moving closer and closer.

"No!" Sarah screamed and rolled Mackenzie out of the way as Al pulled the trigger once more.

"Sarah!" Mackenzie screamed as Sarah's body fell on top of her, blood pooling around the both of them from the wound in her stomach. Both the men froze in place.

"Oh, my God.." Grayson whispered. "You shot her." He looked at Al with wide eyes. "You fucking shot Romeo's niece. He's going to fucking rip your head off when he finds out!" He screamed. "He'll kill us both, do you have any idea what you just did?!"

Al choked up a bit before screaming back, "I know you fucking ass! You don't think I didn't know who the target was?! Lets just get out of here, alright! We leave both of them and just run! He won't know what happened!"

"He'll know his niece is dead and that we were there, you moron!" Grayson yelled, pointing at where Mackenzie was trying to stay as still as she could. She tried to suck in her tears with a little sniff, going unnoticed by the two men arguing in the alley. If she acted dead or almost dead maybe they wouldn't notice and just leave, and maybe she could help Sarah.

" ...and we're not telling him that I did this." Al yelled, glaring at Grayson. "We just have to tell him that Hemmings did it. He'll come after him himself if he hears that Luke killed his niece."

"Yeah! And, he'll be glad to hear that Luke's little bitch has an injury of her own, a little loss of blood and her life." Grayson smirked down at Mackenzie as she was trying to stay as still as possible, blood oozing all around her.

"Come on, let's get out of here. Maybe the bitch will bleed out." Al laughed and ran back down the alley with Grayson. Mackenzie bit her lip and pulled her phone out of her pocket, as she tried to move Sarah off of her without causing her more pain.
