The Gang Leader's Desire

(Chapter 7) I killed him

I run down the street Romeo had instructed me to and stop near and alley.

I see the car that I assume is Romeos as I turn the corner on the street. I am out of sight from them. i look all around, checking for cameras.

Maybe I could make a run for it.

I decide to run but first I use all my strength to punch Mr. Draco, knocking him out cold. I check his pockets for cash.

nothing.

I rip the ear bud chip out.

Then I make, what could be the worst decision of my life.

I run in the opposite direction as fast as my legs would take me. I stop when i'm sure I can't go farther.

it's pitch black.

They won't find me.

I hide behind a garbage can in an even darker alley.

I slide down on the wall, letting gravity drag my problems with me. I throw my head back to rest on the cold brick wall.

I notice my heavy breathing. I take deep breaths to calm myself.

Then I hear movement from the deeper side of the alley.

I jut my head to the side completely holding my breath.

Then more movement.

They were coming this way.

"Well hello little girl." I hear a snear voice of a man.

I jump to my feet.

"I'm sorry Romeo, I'm really sorry please I'll never run away again I swear!" I say shaking.

The movement hesitates for a second.

"Romeo?" He scoffs.

I realize his  voice is higher than Romeos, it's not him.

Who is it then.

Someone grabs me from behind pinning my arms behind my back, with their legs locked into mine so that I can't move. Their hand is over my mouth preventing me from screaming.

My eyes adjust to the darkness and I see a figure in front of me, and a dozen all around.

"What's a pretty gal like you doing in the city backsides ?" He comes close to me.

I try to get out of the guys grasp but I fail.

"Don't run and u won't get hurt." He says.

I attempt to nod.

Then I hear the screeching of car wheels from outside the alley.

I hear the doors open and a few people come out.

I am swung by the man holding me to the side.

"Jesus Alia, I told u not to run and this is what u get." He rolls his eyes and smirks. "Naughty girl"

My eyes go wide.

It's Romeo.

"Games over Ezekiel, hand her over." Romeo gestures with his finger implying Ezekiel to give me to him.

"What's so special about her?" He asks walking over to me, "she's not that pretty."

I shake with anger.

"Just give me the damn girl!" He starts to get angry. "We won't have any problems if u hand her over right now."

"Hmm." He inspects me, looking me up and down, "what do I get out of it?" He asks Romeo turning on his heal to face him.

¨She already drugged my boss¨ he says again

"Well you will get a bullet in ur head if u don't, so I suggest u do."

All of the men on Eziekels side, cock their guns.

"Let me repeat that," he pauses , "what do I get out of it?"

Romeo pauses, knowing he's out numbered.

"How much do u want?" He asks glaring daggers at Ezekiel.

He laughs, "I have no need for money, you know that."

Then, 3 more cars roll in, blocking off the alley completely.

There was no getting out.

At the first gun shot, the man holding me dragged me back to hide behind a truck.

I was thankful that I was out of gunshots way, that but I needed to get away.

So I decided to do what I did best.

My hand was right by the mans groin so I decided to squeeze not to hard but hard enough to make him sigh with pleasure.

I smiled when he let go of my mouth.

I continued to do it into he turned me around.

He was massive. A godly figure compared to me.

I was going to have to be smart.

He smirked at me.

"We have all the time." He said smiling.

I decided to take the moment he was unbuckling his pants to kick him as hard as I could in the balls and run.

Once again... men are idiots.

I snatched his gun from his waist.

He fell backwards and swore.

I ran from behind the truck.

I expected to see blood and bodies everywhere. But there was just a few wounded people hiding from the bullets of the opposing team.

I saw Romeo in the middle of it all, shooting people left and right never missing or getting shot. He turned and saw me, fear flew through his eyes, a vulnerable state. I had seen it just a few times, but could never make clear of any meaning. And in that second he was caught off guard and went stumbling down to the ground as he was shot once.

I raised my gun to point at the person who shot him.
The gun was loaded so I aimed and shot.

Directly in the chest. 

From the corner of my eyes I saw Romeo clenching his shoulder with an amazed look at me and the guy I had just shot.

I ran over to the guy I shot.

I saw blood pooling around him.

Holy fuck.

I killed him.
