Me Against Them

11 - Shots Everywhere

Elle's POV

I screamed giving the final push, not caring shots were being shot. Kimberly moved quickly to grab Jude and carry him out of the room. In a flash I saw Alex run after her, Romeo was busy tending a wound.

"Don't worry I got him," He winces but carries on after her, and that's when my eyes landed on Sandra. She was in a pool of blood with her eyes wide open, Elena the other assassin covered her body and went to my aid. "No go after Alex, Romeo will need help."

She shakes her head sending a needle in my exposed thigh, "You need to go after them,"

Elena was a good friend of Romeo's and I knew too well what injection she just gave me. A smile spread across my face, I thanked her. What she gave me was a government secret.

A super advanced injection to quicken healing, it wasn't super quick to where I would be jumping out of the bed but quick enough for me to swing my legs over to the edge and take a second. I hated how it left me with my thoughts of hoping Jude was safe, no alive.

Romeo's POV

This floor looked like a horror scene, with its weird noise, twitching lights, and echoes of screams or footsteps. There were a few passing of nurses who was screaming and scared, racing for an exit. The maternity floor was silent, at least where I was, it was quiet.

I was exposed, shirtless exposed. I tied my shirt around my waist to make sure the bleeding stop as I carried on making sure to stay close to Kimberly who was busying cleaning Jude. Outside the infant unit, that had windows on both sides, she was nearly done as I stood by the door. "Take your time," I told her for the hundredth time.

When she finished putting him in a warm blanket, she carried him over to me. We both smiled at each other before Alex caught my trained eye as he passed the other side of the infant unit. Through the window, I kill the lights, close the door and let Kimberly hide with Jude in a closet.

Two shots were fired, making the glass shatter. Pushing herself out of the closet, "I have to go back to Elle, he's hungry!" Kim screamed breaking down the door and rushing away. I reached out for her not to leave but she was out of sight. Alex stood in the door way as I slowly rise to my feet. "I would finish you off but I like the red head better,"

I quickly sent a shard of glass through his arm, he comes back at me with a bullet. I dodge that sliding onto the mental table full of baby products as I land on the floor, roll under the table, come up with a knife and slice his leg severely. Near the bone to be exact. But he's able to stand with the help of a counter behind him. I get to my feet within seconds ready to end his life, when I see the bottom on a barrel of a gun pointed right at me. "Pull the trigger Alex! DO IT!" I shouted at him with his shaky hands. They grew stronger as he grits his teeth. He was about to when his face pales, mouth drops, and stumbles forward. Of course I don't hold him, I watch him fall to my feet. That's when I see Elle,

Never had I seen her with bloody shaky hands before, "I-I stabbed Alex." She repeated over and over again in a whisper. Kimberly slowly backed away from her as I moved closer, lightly putting my hands on her shoulders she flinches. "It's okay, you're okay, Jude's okay." She begins to calm down,

I looked down at Alex. The knife was in a position that wouldn't kill him, but leave a nasty scar. Elle was wearing latex gloves that were drenched in blood, and since Alex wasn't in a pool of blood I wanted to know whose blood was she covered in? "My own blood, when trying to recover there was a huge chunk of glass that impaled me basically." Oh, I must've said that out-loud. She lifts her medical gown, I see the hand done stitches.

"My intention wasn't to kill him. We had one too many deaths today, Elena died when Alex tried to shoot me. And Sandra's death," Elle confessed, that's when Kimberly gasped quickly handing Jude over. We didn't follow her, we didn't need to see another death we had Jude to think about now. I walked towards Elle and saw her kiss Jude, "Let's call that Billionaire who was in your room earlier."
