Part 19:

Ace:

++TRIGGER WARNING++

A cold hand covering my mouth woke me up, nearly making my heart stop out of shock. I looked up to see Three stood over me with her other hand gesturing for me to be quiet.

I nodded and she moved her hand off my mouth and she walked across the room pulled a knife and gun from under the pillow.

She had only been in here once why was there already weapons under a pillow on my sofa?

I sat up trying to hear what she heard.

She moved across the room silently.

"Wait here. You hear trouble get back up do not come after me alone." She mouthed over to me. Before I could even object she mouthed, "That's an order." and glared at me.

I watched her slip through the door silently and I got up too, grabbing my gun from the side of my bed.

I waited and listened until I heard thuds and gunshots.

Shit.

I ran out the room where I met up with Mark and Amir.

"Amir go to Sarah, get you and her out of here. Ace with me. Three-" He cut himself off when he saw Three wasn't there.

"She's already down there." I sighed as Amir ran off to Sarah's room.

Me and Mark held our weapons up as we moved down the stairs.

Various thuds and grunts could be heard.

Fucking Three, she couldn't just wait for back up.

We turned the corner and saw Three, bloody and tired, surrounded by about 8 guys.

And we were suddenly swarmed with men too.

They hit us so fast I couldn't even count how many there were but it was too many.

I felt hands trying to grab me and pulling me and Mark apart. I pulled myself free and kicked back the first person my leg could find.

That's when I saw a man stood at the other end of the room he looked more important and wasn't involved in the fight, meaning he was probably a superior.

I shot a guy in my way and dodged the rest aiming at the man.

"Let them go or I shoot him." I yelled getting peoples attention.

The group of men had grabbed Mark and Three had stopped to look.

The man however didn't stop smirking.

"Ace it's not going to work, remember what you promised." I heard Three's voice, it was pained and sounded more like a grunt.

"Flower, I really hope you don't have some stupid plan to get away. You know I always win." The man said grinning at her.

They were both in my line of fire and Three knew that.

I couldn't shoot her.

She was staring right at me.

"Let them go or I swear I'll shoot you!" I shouted at the man.

"Do it. My men will carry on regardless, do not think that there is not someone ready to take my place as soon as I die." The man snickered to himself, giving me a mocking look.

"Ace get out for here now!" Mark yelled only to be punched by a guy. "Now!"

"Ace you promised and then after you need to run!" Three shouted, again only to be punched.

"Shut them up." The man yelled staring at me, I felt like his eyes were staring into my soul.

I didn't know what to do.
