Falling Pieces

Retaliation

  A FEW DAYS AGO

"Next rounds on me." said peter raising his glass as he received a jeer of appreciation. He turned back to face Marcus. "so, what's up with you?" peter asked

"Nothing much," said Marcus " just same old same old."

"How is Gabriella?" Peter asked

"She's fine, We got engaged now," he said smiling

" NO, way. You're gonna get married, damn" Peter said sipping his drink.

"So are you man, I mean I never thought you would get engaged after me," he said laughing.

They both got up and paid for the drinks and left the bar. They walked down the street. It was summer and afternoon so it was scorching hot, They walked under the shade of some trees laughing a little while talking. Peter glanced back and hurriedly urged Marcus to walk faster.

"You see the car behind us? it has been following us since the bar." peter whispered and they continued walking. The car was catching up and they took a left at an alley and walked through it but the car was there at the other end. They both stopped in front of it and a woman stepped out of the car and walked across the street towards them.

"Hello, Peter," Mummy said deviously "It has been long since I saw you," she said while giving a phoney smile.

Peter just stared at her in silence.

"I'm afraid you can't live on to tell my tale," Peter brought out his gun and pointed it to the opposite side of Mummy. Brandon had been creeping along behind them.

"Oh Peter, A gun isn't going to stop him you know that very well," Mummy said smirking. In the blink of an eye, Brandon had grabbed peter's throat and hoisted him up. Marcus ducked and hid behind a car. Brandon threw Peter down on the ground. He tried to get up but Mummy put his foot on his chest. He groaned slightly.

"well I guess this is goodbye, mister jones," Mummy said tilting her head and smirking. Peter closed his eyes.

BAM! A gunshot

Peter opened his eyes to see someone had taken the bullet and pushed him away. Mummy looked at the person with disgust. She shot at him again but he flipped and kicked her knocking the gun out of her hands, picking it up swiftly and shot at her. Brandon lurched towards him but he shot him with a tranquillizer dart and he fell down on the ground in a lump. "Get up," he said briskly giving Peter his hand. Peter grabbed it and got to his feet.

"Hurry, her reinforcements are on their way, we should leave," the person said. He started walking with his gun out, crouching along the way. Peter took his gun out and he and Marcus walked beside him. They reached a small building, they entered The person put in a key and opened the door. Peter walked in and turned around to see the person pointing his gun at him.

"Who are you?" he said. Peter slowly placed the gun on the floor and put his hands up.

"Don't shoot," he said "I'm Peter Jones, I'm the guy who called you." the person lowered his gun. For the first time, Peter got a good look at him. He had crisp brown hair and was wearing a purple jacket over a yellow tee-shirt.

"I still don't believe I can trust you, You called me out of the blue to tattle,"

"I told you what happened,"

"Right, I talked to my superiors about this, and right now we need to move,"

"Hm..."

"Whose the other person though?"

"Hey, I'm Marcus,"

"We're a team," Peter said

The person looked out the window and turned back to us, "Time to go," He said and they all climbed out the window, and onto the ledge. From there they climbed down the fire escape, walked through an ally, and got in a cab.

"Where are we going again?" Peter asked curiously

"Somewhere I know,"
