Can't Catch a Break

Tagg

"What are you eating, bub?" Callie walks into the kitchen.

"Cereal" I move my spoon around in the filled bowl.

"Looks like something's on your mind" she sits in front of me with a concerned look. I shake my head and she takes my hands. "I know you, Tagg. I know when you have something going on. What's wrong? You can tell me anything, you know that"

"It's our second day here and I'm already fucked in the head" I stressfully shake my head.

"What do you mean?" she asks with her eyebrows pushed together.

I look up at her. "Something's gonna happen"

She frowns and rests her forehead on mine. "It's your anxiety, bub. Do you wanna go back home?"

"No, no" I sit up. "No" I sigh and she rubs the back of my hands with her thumbs. "I'm not making us go all the way back home. We're gonna finish this week"

"As long as you're comfortable" she says softly.

"I'm gonna head to bed" I stand up.

"No you're not! I want some spaghetti, so we're going out" Nick slips in. "I'll drive"

Callie looks at me. "You can stay here and sleep"

"I can't trust Nick with you, he's careless" I roll my eyes. "Come on, hurry" I grab my jacket from the rack and throw it on.

And so does Callie and Nick.

We walk outside into the freezing cold and run to the car.

Nick speeds off and Callie sits on the bed, cuddled up as she watches netflix.

I can't have but this horrible feeling something's gonna happen to her...

I can't lose my Callie, no, not my Cal.

And all of a sudden, our tire blows out bullets go through the windows .

Callie screams and I immediately run to her. "STAY IN HERE! UNDER THE BED!"

She nods in fear before Nick and I run out.

"Взять их!" (Get them!) a man shouts and I'm shot in the side.

I hiss in pain, shooting the man who shot me before running and pulling the bullet out.

"THIS IS MY CHANCE! CALL IN THE NIGHT HOWLERS!" Nick shouts as he runs next to me.

"YOU!" I throw him my phone and throw a throwing star into a mans chest. He falls dead and I throw a man over my shoulder, stabbing him to death. "Блин русских!" (Damn Russians!)

Dad taught me to speak Russian since I could talk.

God I wish he was here now.

A man stabs my back, causing me to immediately turn around and decapitate him, throwing his head down the road.

I run and shoot three men in a row before a herd runs at me.

I throw a grenade and jump off to the side, watching them blow up.

"WE'RE HERE!" Conner runs in with his gang.

"How the fuck?! What was quick!!" I shoot a man behind him.

"Our mansion's in the woods! Not too far from here!" he exclaims, stabbing a man.

I pat his back before running past him.

Of course to see Nick and Jessica together.

Ruby shoots another woman and Michale ties a mans wrists and ankles together.
