Don't Believe What You See

Chapter Twenty One

Their ears kept constantly ringing. Peter was still hovering over Pilar, making sure she didn't get hurt. Daniel was still behind the counter, waiting for all these bullets to stop. Finally, they did. The three of them waited a couple minutes to make sure everything was actually over. Nothing else came, so they rose their heads to look at each other.

"You guys okay?" Daniel called. Peter exchanged a glance with Pilar before shouting, "Yeah! We're okay! What about you?"

"I'm alright."

"What the hell was that?" Pilar asked. Peter shrugged his shoulders while Daniel kept his head down.

"Danny! I know you're in there you weaselly little bitch! Come on out!" People called from outside. Both Pilar and Peter's head whipped around to stare at him. Daniel said nothing.

"Either you come out or we come in and shoot everybody!"

"Wait," Daniel finally said, "wait, I'll-" he was interrupted by ten older men with large guns all pointing at the three of them. One man appeared in the center. He was huge, about six foot four, with tattoos coating his arms.

"Well, well, well, isn't it Danny?"

"What do you want Will?"

"You still haven't paid, and I need my money now," the large man, whose name was apparently Will, spit.

"I don't have the money yet," Daniel said.

"Too bad, I need it now," Will pointed his head towards Daniel and another man pointed a gun on Daniel's temple.

"But you promised I could have until the end of the month!" Daniel said trying his best to fight back. Peter just stood protectively over Pilar, holding her hand as they both stared in intensity

"Either you pay up, or you die."

"But I don't have the money right now! I will by the end of the month! I swear!" Daniel said about to spill tears.

"Well, Danny," Will said, walking away from Daniel and his friend with the gun, "that makes me unhappy. You know what happens when I'm unhappy?" Will nodded to his friend to shoot Daniel. The man rested the gun on Daniel's forehead, and was seconds away from shooting him. Peter wanted to step in and help, but Pilar was holding onto his arm tightly, restricting him from doing anything. Daniel closed his eyes, preparing to have this breath be his last, when Will stopped the man with the gun.

"Actually," Will said, "I changed my mind. This new way will be even better, and more enjoyable for everybody to watch. You either pay, or you kill the bitch," he said placing the gun in Daniel's hand and pointing it passed Peter and started towards Pilar.
