Im struggling to see my own feet as I scurry through the thick mist.

Where is Tyler?

I pull out the white pistol that's strapped to my waist,the gang had it personally made for me,there's a tiny golden V on the handle.

I've never had gun lessons before,what do I even do with it?!

Shots scream from every direction,and my vision is still limited from the blurry fog,so I have no idea where to go.

I can feel a presence next to me,and turn to see Flynn who also has his gun out,

"You're coming with me,"Is all he says before he intertwines his fingers with mine and begins pulling me to god knows where.

"No,I'll be fine,now let me go!"I complain yanking my small hand out of his hold,

Spinning around,he pushes his chest up against mine,so much that I can feel the buttons from his shirt digging into my skin.

"Don't kid yourself Valentina."He growls into my ear,"You have no idea the type of people we're dealing with and I can't afford losing another Opium leader!"

I thought I told him to stop protecting me!

My cheeks glow an intense red due to my anger,

Time to show this douchebag what I'm made of

But before I can turn away from him,a cold metal material snakes around my wrist and I hear a clanking sound like the locking of a key.

I'm staring at him in astonishment,

He's insane.

He's actually insane!

That's when I notice a tiny bald man sprinting towards Flynn's back like a drugged up goblin.Before I can even process it,my gun is raised.

BANG

I shoot him in his shin and he tumbles to the floor like a bowling ball with his glossy head shining.

Flynn's head flys in the direction of the man I just shot and then back to me,

"Not too bad rookie,"He says ruffling my hair up like I'm some dog,

Are you kidding me?! That was awesome!

I begin to look around for my next target,determined to show Flynn I'm not a scared,little girl, when I spot a figure running at me from behind.

Unexpectedly,I spin around causing Flynn to swing around with me to come face to face with the man,
