Charlie

Chapter 5

Please excuse any mistakes! ENJOY!!

As if it were an action movie, countless bullets zoomed over Charlie and Alejandro's prone bodies, ripping into Charlie's childhood home. Broken glass and wood falling rapidly onto their bodies like summer rain. Alejandro held Charlie's trembling body tightly to his chest as he shielded her from the debris that seemed like it would never end. 

Tears quickly filled and fell from Charlie's eyes as she covered her ears. Just seeing the fear in her eyes tore at Alejandro's heart. For what seemed like an eternity, the gunshots rang through the air. Moments later, all gun activity stopped and the sound of tires squealing against the pavement as the driver of the car tried to make a hasty getaway. Without a word, Alejandro gave Charlie a quick kiss to her forehead before jumping to his feet as he pulled his firearm, returning fire. Alejandro jumped from the porch, as he continued to shoot. A pain filled scream could be heard just before the car sped down the street.

"Fuck!" Alejandro yelled angrily, as he stared after the speeding car. He knew he hit one of the fuckers.  

Cursing once more, he quickly made his way back over to Charlie. The look of terror on her face would last him a lifetime. After making sure she was unharmed,  Alejandro pulled her to him wrapped her tightly in his arms.

"It's gonna be okay, baby. I'm so sorry!" he whispered tightly, rubbing soothing circles on her back before placing a kiss to her temple.

Charlie clung to Alejandro as she sobbed loudly into his chest. Why was this happening to her? What did she ever do to someone for the to want to harm her? She just couldn't wrap her mind around it. It was all too much. At the sound of Charlie's cries, Alejandro tightened his arms around her, rocking her, trying to calm her as he tried to calm the anger boiling inside him. He could feel her heart hammering in her chest, he was sure his was pounding so hard it could jump from his chest. 

After a few long moments, Alejandro placed a gentle reassuring kiss onto Charlie's forehead before he leaned back to look at her, making sure that she wasn't hurt.  Heads were about to fucking roll! They came after the wrong mother fuckin' woman! His woman! He was so consumed with Charlie, he didn't realize he was the one bleeding.

"What the fuck do you mean you missed?"

The young man had the nerve to look pissed. "Like I said, man. I missed. Had the driver not gone pussy, I would have bodied that bitch."

Without blinking the highly angered and frustrated man pulled his glock and shot the young man point blank in the face. The body crumpled to the concrete floor with a thud. As quickly as it had fallen, it was just as fast forgotten.

"You young bitches had one fuckin' job to do! How the fuck do you fuck up the simplest thing?" the man yelled out. "I want the bitch! How could you not have done what I asked. Was it that hard?" he seethed darkly, walking along the line of youngsters. When he all of a sudden came to a halt in front of the little bastard that was bleeding all over his damn shoes. Pointing the gun in the young boy's face, he asked lowly. "What the fuck happened? Don't you dare lie. Or you'll end up like your little friend. Talk!"

The young man lowered his eyes to the concrete floor, he was so damn nervous his palms had started sweating,  his legs were about to turn to jelly and it felt like he was about to shit himself. "Well, when we pulled up to the h-hhouse," he stuttered. "We saw the girl, but wasn't pre- prepared for the man to stay. We were under the impression he was dropping her off. We were told to follow him back to his place. That was the plan, sir. Before I could stop him from popping off, Sammy  was already shredding. There was nothin' we could do. The girl wasn't hit. I swear had I known what he was going to do, I would have told your guy to see to it he wasn't in on the plan. I'm s- sorry, sir."
