Once we busted in, surprising the Maddox family, bullets went flying past us. Some of us split up and headed upstairs while the others went to the back of the house. Junior, Drew, and I went after the brothers and the cousin near Scarlett. Junior took on Maverick, while Drew took on Mitchell and I went after Maddox.

Mitchell pulled his gun and shot at Drew with the bullet grazing his arm.

"You fucking shot me," Drew yelled at Mitchell.

"Eh, it's a flesh wound," Mitchell said, shrugging and waving the gun.

"I'm going to fucking rip off your head, you little bitch," Drew shouted, tackling him to the ground.

Junior pounded on Maverick, who held his ground, and I went after Maddox, beating the shit out of him until he shoved a pocket knife into my leg. I felled back, trying to pull it out as he unchained Scarlett and took off with her.

Drew threw a kick at Mitchell's head, knocking Mitchell out. "Punk-ass bitch!" He spits some blood on him, then made his way over to me.

"No! Go after Maddox! He's got Scar," I shouted, stopping him. He nodded, taking off out the window and running after Maddox.

I struggled to get the knife out, and Dad found me. "Jordan and Dylan, I need help with Matthew!"

They ran into the room, and Dylan helped Dad pull the knife out while Jordan took off his shirt and tore it in strips and tying it tight around my leg to stop the bleeding.

"Where's Drew?" Dad asked me.

"He went after Maddox and Scarlett," I said, wincing in pain.

"Go," Dad told Jordan and Dylan, who took off after Drew.

Junior finally subdued Maverick, then he and Dad tied both of them up. Well, chained Mitchell since he was crazy as fuck. The rest of them took out the remaining guys in the house, and Grandpa called an ambulance.

Dylan and Jordan caught up with Drew. "Glad to see you, old men could keep up to me," Drew yelled while running.

"I'll show you old man when we finish," Jordan said.

"Yeah, sure," Drew said.

They picked up their pace, running in Maddox's direction.

Maddox dragged Scarlett behind him as they ran through the woods.

"Can't you move any faster?" He growled at her.

"Oh, I'm sorry. It's hard when some lunatic is dragging you through the woods in the dark! But sure, let me run faster!" Scarlett yelled.

"Mitchell is right. You are fucking annoying," Maddox huffed.

"Just doing my job," she smirked.

He yanked her harder as they ran, only to have someone meet them who he wasn't expecting.

"Maddox! Let her go! It's between you and me!" Liz stood there with Hope and Davina.

Maddox stopped and held Scarlett tightly by the neck. "Oh, look who got tough now. Funny, you were some weakling in school." He snickered as he squeezed Scarlett's neck tighter.

"It must take a real man to hurt a woman, but then again, you wouldn't know anything about that since you don't have any balls," Liz yelled at him.

"Well, sweetheart, I think it's time for you to say good night so that I can finish what I started with this one," Maddox said, fanning a hot breath on Scarlett's face.

"Ever heard of a breath mint because your breath reeks?" Scarlett gasped, struggling for breath. He tossed her to the side, and she hit her head, knocking her out.
