Angel's POV
I look out the window, slumped in my seat as we drive to "the drop off". At least that's what dad and Z-man call it. Whenever I overhear dad talk about it on the phone, he just talks about.....talking; this is gonna be so boring. Suddenly my dad says,
"What's the matta' Angel?"
I'm caught off guard and just look at him before muttering out a,
"Huh?"
"What's with ya face. You were just pouting, what's that all about?"
I guess I started pouting without noticing it. I should probably be more aware of my facial expressions when I'm around dad. I swear nothing get's past this man, but I guess that's a skill he picked up while being a top-secret businessman. Oh shoot I've been quiet for too long, I should say something now; like right now.
"Oh! I-I was? I didn't realize."
I managed to stutter out a response, and he returns to reading to paper. I guess that was a good enough answer. After about thirty more minutes of driving, we arrive at "the drop off", when we arrive dad tells Z-man to stay with me unless someone tries to get one over on us. As we walk in the building I notice that it's extremely run-down; it looks like the place was hit by a small hurricane and lived to tell the tale. I look at the man my dad was gonna meet and notice that there's a kid next to him; he looks like a high schooler. Maybe he is.....he's really hot though, I'll give him that; who am I kidding, there's no way he'd go for a frickin' ten-year-old. Woah....he looked at me, his eyes are like caramel and his hair looks...so soft; it's the same color as those nice dark wooden tables in the furniture stores. It's like he's staring through my soul...staring, he's staring at me! Oh crap look away, hide, do something just stop staring at him!! I hide behind Z-man and stay there for the first half of the meeting. I start to zone out and think about why dad brought me with him if I'm just gonna stand here and do nothin'. And with that thought I'm snapped out of my blank state by Z-man slamming me to the ground, sheltering me from the gunshots I hear pop off. He quickly picks me up and hides me behind some crates, he says,
"Stay here and Don't Move."
Oncoming tears start to form in my eyes as he cocks his gun and runs towards where my father was. I'm scared, I don't know what to do....there's nothin' I can do; I'm useless, if my dad dies it'll be all my fa-
"C'mon kid we gotta get outta here!"
I look to see who's talkin' to me and I'm face-to-face with the kid from before. I then register what he said to me, and I yell,
"I'm NOT gonna leave my dad here to DIE!!!"
I then stand and look down at him before saying,
"And if you're not gonna help me, then stay outta my way."
With that statement I start to run from behind the crates, I'm then pulled to the ground be my wrist paired with a gunshot. I bite his hand to get him to let go of me and run to where I heard the gunshot come from; just as I do I see Z-man shoot the man who dad came to meet in the back of the head. The man drops to his knees and then falls forward, landing face first on the ground.
"....Zachary...where's dad?"
As I say that I look down and I can't even begin to fathom what I'm seeing. The only emotion I could begin to explain feeling....is pure shock.
