"Wait! Wait! Wait!" I whispered loudly to Christian, but he did not care, he continued to run for the tunnel, with a gun on his other hand. I ducked my head as he shot his fires towards the group of men, alerting them that someone was in the ruin too. My hand gripped tighter to his arm as he shoots, bringing me to an escape. This man was out of his mind to think if we could survive these men.

The group of men then began shooting at us. One of them started bringing out one of those mini machine-guns and I immediately choke in fear.

"They have those! What the fuck!" I shouted as we slide behind another fallen statue, taking cover from the rapid fire that was being targeted at us.

Christian stare at me, surprised by my cursing. "Language, Kenneth," He then continued to peek up, seeing where the men were hiding. The tunnel to our escape was almost close, all we needed to do was jump over that other fallen statue and slide our way into the tunnel. In case you do not know, that needed great amount of speed and flexibility to be able to achieve that.

"I want you to keep an eye on your left, if you see them moving, shoot for their legs. I repeat, legs," Christian commanded, sounded like a sergeant for a soldier army and it made me stress from the pressure.

My shake hands take the gun from the hand pocket on my waist. "Yeah! Yeah! I get it! Can we just get out already!" He grinned at my state of panic, I was freaking rushing in sweats dripping down my forehead. This was worse than the car chasing. Because it involves GUNS!

Christian continued shooting at the men, managed to take down one of them by the legs. "I knew I recognized you somewhere! You little shit! I should have killed you when I got the chance to!" Mateo screamed, crouching behind a wall.

"Fuck you! I am not going to die today!" I yelled, then I spot his foot, showing itself a little. My hand began aiming for his foot, paying my attention to the part of his body. With one pull of the trigger, I fire the shot towards his foot, managing to hit him.

He screamed in pain. "Argh, fucking kid!" He goes to shoot at me but Christian was quick enough to aim for his gun, having it being thrown away from his hands. When no one was shooting, Christian grabbed my clothes. He pulled me with him, running towards the tunnel. I could see the veins on his arms popping out from the tense. He looked so... damn.

We jumped over the other fallen statue, then proceed to sprint for the tunnel. "Run! Quick!" He yelled, getting towards the tunnel. Mateo saw us running then began to take his gun from the ground. He aims at us but the fire missed, hitting the ground floor instead.

"Fuck! Get them!" He yelled, then goes to chase after us.

Christian and I slide into the tunnel. Again, the dark light was overpowering the view. Christian quickly takes out his lighter, then started to light the way. We continued running to god knows where.
