Te Quiero

CUATRO

I pulled the trigger and realised that I hit her left hand instead of her chest.

"Shit."

All because Kelvin hit my back but the guy didn't know anything. He was just ready to run.
"Hey man let's go!" He shouted.

"Dumb fuck." He caused this.

I foolishly attempted again but I missed. That had already given the police a clue where the sound was coming from.

The guards immediately put her into a black Jeep and drove off.

"Fuck! Brandon! Why did you shoot twice? The police have spotted us. Let's get out of here."

He pulled me who was just there thinking of how I messed the whole thing up "Are you hearing me?!"

"Damn it! Let's go!" I shouted and we began to run. All that was on my mind as we ran was how I had messed up. This was trouble whether we liked it or not.

We kept running down the stairs of the building.

"Why did you miss her?" Kelvin asked. How could he ask a question in this situation? Lmao.

"Why did you hit me?" Wow, I could also ask a question. That's impressive.

"Oh, it's my fault now. You were bloody wasting time."

Looking at her busts. My subconscious replied and I shrugged it off.

"El wouldn't find it funny. She's better dead! He'll come for Demorte!"  Kelvin said as we got to the third floor. Our legs were so flexible at that moment and our speed was superb.

Then it hit me.

"Stop! We can't keep going down cause  the cops are climbing up the stairs so we're just delivering ourselves into their hands."

"So are we gonna develop wings and fly cause we can't go up either?" He shouted out of frustration.

"Nope. Follow my lead." I said gulping in spit. If I mess this up again, it'd be disastrous. Kelvin rose an eyebrow and nodded in agreement.

Thank you.

In a span of one minute, I explained everything to him and he nodded. If I were him, I would never trust me. Lol.

He entered the nearby room which was empty to our favour. He quickly arranged everything into his bag so nothing would look suspicious and zipped it. His hands were shaking but somehow he trusted me.

"Where's the face cap?" I asked and he handed one over to me and removed the bandana he tied around his face and wore his shades.

We never planned this but, everything was working in our favor. Now, we looked like normal people who didn't do anything like shoot El's daughter. All that was left was to act the part.

"I can't do this." Kelvin said and I closed my eyes in disappointment.

"Bro, where's all this coming from?"

"Fuck it. I'm scared man."

"Do you wanna get jailed?! Those guys should be climbing those stairs right now so stop this dramatic shit and behave."

We were both scared. Gosh! I was freaking out cause if I get caught, my dad would lose every chance of winning the election. Even if I had no reason to shout, this was the only reason why I had to shout at kelvin and myself so we could get out of this mess together.

Without thinking further, we walked out of the room. I closed the door and started acting like we were talking about football as we walked down the stairs. I was really scared but I just had to do it.

"Cr7 is actually good but you can't call him the GOAT. Come on, Messi has won the ballondor six times already!" I said and my eyes fell on the policemen who were climbing the stairs beneath us. I used the cap to shield my face.

"That's cap. You can't only use that to....woah, what happened now?" Kelvin said stepping aside so the cops could pass. I did same.

"Oouu someone's in trouble." I said with a chuckle and kelvin did also. I've never faked a chuckle so bad.

"Whatever. So, Ronaldo is the GOAT argue with your cap." He said laughing as we continued walking down the stairs. I kept defending messi and he did for Ronaldo. That kind of made our acting better honestly.

Immediately, we got out of the building. We dropped all acting but began again when one of the cops outside walked towards us.
"Hey boys, did you guys see any mysterious or suspicious person probably with a gun or something?"

I looked at the man and back at kelvin. Then, I noticed that this motherfucker's hand was already shaking. Then, I imagined the cop saying that he'd search us. I had to act fast.

"Uh no. We haven't seen anyone. Just the cops who kind of pushed us off the stairs without noticing."

The cop stared hard on the floor and then back at me. This man looked deeply into my eyes and I shivered. What the hell? I couldn't use the cap to shield my face cause that would be so suspicious. What if he was about to say 'let me search you guys?' I tried my best to act right.

His gaze then fell on my friend whose hand was obviously shaking.
He frowned. "What's wrong with ...."

"Oh, it's normal. He has a tremor." I pleaded within me for this cop to buy what I just said but he kept frowning. Woah.

He smiled lightly and said. "I'm really sorry. Thank you. Stay safe cause a woman that was taken away got shot."

"For real?" I said. "That's tragic."

"Yeah. It's frustrating when you can't just do your job right." On his name tag was Martial Jacob.

"Don't worry. I'm sure you guys would get the hitman." I said. If only this cop knew that the answer to his problem was standing right infront of him.

"Thanks boy."

"No worries. Aii, come on Roy, let's go." I held kelvin's hand and he complied. We found a cab and got into it. Both of us heaved heavily especially me. I'm no actor but I deserved a Grammy for what I just pulled off.

"Thanks bro." Kelvin said and I heaved again. It was nothing. Somebody had to be sane so we wouldn't mess everything up.

That was how we escaped from that mess but that wasn't the end. El was probably coming for whoever shot his daughter.

Yo! Yeah, I also watch football and before you attack me. I think Messi and Ronaldo are two GOATS existing together. Like stop comparing them cause they're both wonderful but Messi is better though. Haha. Don't forget to vote and comment. Thank you.
