diego tied me to a chair hours ago and left me alone in the middle of an empty warehouse.

it's been quiet the whole time but i just heard gunshots outside and i hope that zack wasn't stupid enough to show up and get himself killed.

"diego!" i yell trying to get out of my chair, "i'm his sister! i'm the one you want! diego!" i yell as loud as i can, before realising the shooting outside has stopped.

a hand suddenly covers my mouth and i try to scream.

"you're okay, it's me. stop yelling, i'm going to get you out of here"

"ethan?"

"i promised i wouldn't let anything happen to you" he smirks as he starts to untie my wrists and ankles from the chair.

"where's zack?"

"at home with the other two idiots. they're trying to decide on the best way to get you out of here"

"you came here alone?" i ask and he nods, "you're so stupid, you could have been killed!"

"i got you into this mess, i'm just trying to get you out of it" he shrugs, "a thank you would be nice"

"you'll get your thank you when you get me out of here alive" i roll my eyes while trying to hide my smile.

"did he hurt you?" he tilts my chin up to look at him so that he can examine my face.

"no, i'm fine"

"i'm sorry for dragging you into this" he sighs while helping me up, "stay beside me" he says, taking my hand in his.

he leads the way outside and we're almost there until diego finds us.

"leave her here and you can leave alive" he tells ethan while pointing a gun at him.

"sorry, i'm afraid i can't do that" ethan reacts quickly and knocks the gun out of his hand.

diego is taken by surprise as ethan punches him repeatedly.

diego finally fights back and finds the strength to push ethan into the wall behind them.

ethan smacks his head before falling to the ground.

diego strangles him while he's on the floor. ethan tries to pull his hands off but he's too strong and i start to panic as he turns bright red.

if i don't do something now, he's going to kill ethan.

i notice diego's gun on the floor, and pick it up before aiming it at him shakily. i pull the trigger and the bullet hits his leg. he screams in pain, as i panic and drop the gun but ethan is able to push diego off him.

diego moves quickly to grab the gun. he aims at me from the floor and i'm frozen with fear, i can't move.

i shut my eyes tightly and wait for it to happen, but it doesn't. instead, i hear a snap. it's only when i open my eyes that i realise ethan snapped his neck.

"are you okay?" ethan gets up off the floor, still trying to catch his breath.

"i'm.. yeah.. i'm fine"

he looks me concerned. "we have to go"

"we're just going to leave him.. here?"

"he's dead jade"

"i know it's just.." i trail off.

"you've been through a lot, let's get you home" he says softly, taking my hand again.
