2Doc, a Time Bomb

Chapter 24

2D's POV

I felt my whole body go into shock.
He lost. How could he lose?!

I then felt someone grab me by the arm. They led me to another room with a round table in it, five people already seem to be sitting at the table.
What is this?
I turned around as soon as I heard Murdoc bursting through the door in order to find out what game we're about to play, I have no idea what it is but his face tells me all too clearly that he knows what's about to happen.
He grabbed me by the shoulder "C'mon 2d we're leaving"
"Oh no you're not!" Said the guy who had bet Murdoc (his name is Dexter). The exit was then blocked off by two very large guys whom Mudz would have no chance against. They looked like bodyguards. Why does he want to leave? How bad could this game be?

"I'll take Dents' place"
Whattt?! Why's he taking moi place?!
"Mudz...." I say questioningly
But Murdoc just ignores me and takes a seat at the table.
"Alrighty then let's begin, boys you all know the rules so no cheating...
Now let's play some old fashioned Russian Roulette shall we!"
What the fuck. Now I understand.
I began panicking. What if Murdoc dies?! Maybe he has a plan...? But what if he doesn't?!

The gun started two guys away from where Murdoc was sitting. The first guy pointed it at his temple, took a breath and pulled the trigger. Nothing.
Why would anyone voluntarily play this game?!
The gun gets passed on to the next guy, beside Murdoc. He does the exact same and pulls the trigger. Again Nothing.
Murdoc is now holding the gun.
Instinct sets in on me and I began to try and run to grab the gun away from him. It didn't work though as the two large guys grabbed me, restraining me from being able to get to him. I began sobbing "Mur-rdoc! Please don't! Please!" His mismatched eyes looked up at me, the muzzle against his temple. He winked at me before pulling the trigger.

Time stopped from when he pulled the trigger & when the sound never came.
Nothing. I heard nothing.

I opened my eyes to see Murdoc sitting on the chair still very much alive and giving a sinister little laugh. I had never felt so goddamn relieved in my life. I felt my knees buckle as I collapsed onto the floor in relief.
The gun went to the next guy.
He pulled the trigger and he was no more. Blood splattered all over the table. I was in shock.
"WOOP GAME OVER!!" Shouted Dexter waving a red flag.

Murdoc grabbed me "we need to get out of here now Dents. The police will be here any minute." I could hear what Murdoc was saying but I couldn't move. It's like I was stuck to the ground, my body was in shock still trying to process what had just happened. If the gun had've started one person before it did. Murdoc would be dead. I felt like crying but stopped as so as I felt Murdoc lift me up, carrying me as he ran.

He put me in his car and began to drive. He was driving drunk but right now that was the least of my worries. I was still unable to say or do anything. Still playing back tonight's events in my head. I felt afraid and wanted to hold his hand for some security but he'd think I'm weird. I could see that blood had been splattered unto Murdoc's clothes. He didn't look as if what had happened just happened he seemed awfully calm. How many times has he played that before?

He eventually pulled up outside his house and lifted me out of the car. He walked into the house and placed me down on the sofa in the sitting room. That was when my body completely snapped out of it. I jumped up off the sofa and threw my arms around Murdoc pulling him into a tight hug.

"Mudz I'm so glad you're alive but why did ya risk your life for me?"
He pulled back slightly out of the hug, his hands still wrapped around my waist, his mismatched eyes staring into my black holes.
"Cause Stu, you're too pretty to die"
And with that I felt his chapped lips crash right into mine. I immediately felt my whole body melt into his touch. It took me a minute to realise what was happening before I kissed him back. I had wanted this for so long. He pushed me against the wall kissing me roughy and then bit down on my bottom lip and I gasped giving him the perfect opportunity to slip his long tongue into my mouth. He tasted like alcohol and cigarettes which made me want him even more. Our tongues fought for dominance and I quickly lost, I felt him smirk as he had won. Once he had explored every inch of my mouth and we were both completely out of breath, we pulled away leaving a string of saliva coming out of our mouths.

This was it. The very beginning of a ticking time bomb that was waiting to explode.
