Forever Vegas {A Criss Angel Story}

*Forever Vegas~12*

Criss accepted the gun Stoney handed him and slowly cocked it and took it off the safety and asked me to stay up in the room where it was safe. But before I could say anything Klayton handed me a gun as well and said they needed my assistance to cover his right side, then he did a quick spin and asked me if I knew how to use it. I gave him a tiny smile then pulled the hammer back to cock it then removed the safety as I told him I was raised on a farm as a tomboy, I definitely knew how to shoot a gun. 

Klayton and Criss both looked at me up and down for a while until I couldn't handle it anymore and asked them if they met a girl that knew how to handle a gun. They both chuckled at me and said at the same time, that it wasn't about the gun...it was the fact that no matter how hard they tried to they just couldn't see me as a tomboy. I looked down at myself and remembered that I was still in that high dollar dress that I bought downstairs before the entire Luxor became a hostage to terrorists then I told them that this was the first time I spent money on a dress and that my usual attire was much plainer and not as feminine.

Klayton kissed my cheek and said I would still look sexy, then he slapped my ass as he went out the door and told us to get into serious mode, because it was going to get dangerous, and if we needed to shoot, shoot to kill or else they would kill us. Klayton led the way, and Criss held me close to him right behind him as we were going down the stairs. We silently but quickly cleared each floor not seeing or hearing so much as a mouse. Criss looked around and said they all must still be downstairs in the lobby holding all the hostages in the main part of the casino. I moved in closer to both of them and asked if either of them knew what they wanted and that it didn't take that long to rob the place and leave.

Klayton stopped and looked at Criss as he said it wasn't just money they were after, and by the way, they locked the place down and cut the power source, it looked like they were planning on sticking around for a while. Criss shook his head but remained silent as we made it to the next floor down...there were only four more floors before we hit the main lobby where Klayton said all hell would break loose. I was a little scared when Klayton reached out for the doorknob on the door from the stairwell that would take us to the lobby and tensed up Criss touched my hand and told me with his eyes that he would be right there, and not let anything happen to me.

Klayton opened the door and slowly looked out, to where all the people were gathered around sitting very close together on the floor trying to be as quiet as possible. We all were out in the lobby and slowly walking toward the terrorists as Criss and Klayton were doing a quick head count on all the terrorists that were standing around the hostages. But all I could see was the dead bodies that were lying around the outer edges of the hostage circle...and all the blood that stained the Luxor's once beautiful and shiny marble floor. Tears slid down my cheek at seeing all the lives lost already and asked myself how many more were they going to kill before they were apprehended or killed.

Klayton gave me a slight smile and said not to worry because he and Criss were going to fix that little problem right now. Then he pulled up the high powered rifle and put a condom of all things around it with a rubber band that he gently pulled from my hair, and quickly took aim and made a shot without thinking twice about it and I watched as two of the terrorists dropped to the floor dead. Then he pulled us both back behind the door so we wouldn't be seen and pulled out another rubber and put the rubber band back around it, then handed Criss a few condoms and told him to make use of them, because it was for sure he didn't use them for their real purpose. Criss snickered a little at his friend's perversion and said his dick didn't need protecting, and he just needed to get his punk ass out there and shoot some more bad guys. Then slid out the door and took his turn to shoot and killed one then when he made it back behind the door he said his rubber had a defect because his bullet only killed one instead of two.

I nervously held out my hand for one of the rubbers and said I had a gun too, I might as well use it. Klayton put it on for me and told me to be careful and after I took my shot to get down as low as possible and get back behind the door. I shook my head to him then I slowly crawled out from behind the door and looked around for the nearest terrorist and slowly took aim...I had shot guns many times and was a hell of a good markswoman, but taking another human's life was something I never thought I could or would ever do. I took a deep breath in and kept both eyes on my target and tried to think of him as a practice target only, then fired.

I stayed low to the floor, and but for some reason, I couldn't move as I watched that terrorist fall to the floor with a bullet hole on the left side of his head...I just killed that guy. I didn't snap out of it until I felt hands pulling me back behind the door, and when they looked at me I was silently crying. Criss held me close to him as he told Klayton that I wasn't going to need this anymore as he handed him my gun and that they could take care of the rest without me.
