It's was him.
In matter of seconds, I felt a cold solid object hit me hard on the head, from behind me, causing me to lose my balance and fell on the ground. I opened my eyes, to see everything blurry and unclear. I blinked a few times, but my vision was still blurry.The bat was about to hit me again when he spoke again. "I can see you have done the dirty work for me, Ian." The bat stopped in midair as Ian turned to look from behind him.
"Did I, Fuentes?" Ian asked irritated, blocking me from seeing Alejandro.
"That girl is my property. Now bring her to me," The deep voice said filled with power and authority. "I didn't bring you anything." Ian mumbled.
"Yes, you did." The deep voice said calmly, taking out his gun, pointing at Ian.
All I could think of was how could I be so foolish? Letting my guard down during a mission and now, I stuck with two men who want to kill me.
