“Loyal!” she yells, fear in her voice.
“What are you doing? Don’t call for him! You’re mine!” Billy snaps, shaking her.
“Let her go!” I demand, aiming my gun at him.
Fuck. If I could just get a clear shot of his arm. Hit him just right where it wouldn’t be fatal, but Farrah could break away.
I watch as he pulls a gun out from behind him, and my heart sinks.
Son of a bitch. Just when I think it can’t get any worse.
“What are you doing? I paid you to take him out!” Billy rants, waving his hand with a gun toward me.
One of them pops off a shot toward me, and I duck. I swear I can feel the air change as the bullet misses my head, just barely.
“Down!” Tiny yells.
Like a fucking groundhog, I pop my head up and see that Tiny took out the guy who popped a shot off at me.
“Thanks!” I shout back.
“This is fucking bullshit! Are you sure we can’t just kill your dad?” Happy calls out to Farrah.
“NO!” Farrah and I cry out at the same time.
I watch as more goons step out of the door of the plane, blocking the top. I watch as one points his gun off to my right, and without thinking about it, I raise my barrel and take the shot. The guy drops back into his buddy, making them stumble back into the plane.
“You guys are supposed to be the best. I paid top dollar, so prove you’re worth it!” Billy shouts.
I watch as a guard to his left falls, and like a true piece of shit he is, Billy lifts Farrah higher and really begins to use her as a human shield.
“Loyal!” she cries out.
“It’s going to be okay!” I shout back, even though I don’t know if it will be.
I hear one of my brothers curse, and I fight the urge to look over. One of the guards on the stairs of the plane spins around and looks under, realizing that they were being approached from behind.
“We’ve got to go! Either let her go or get her up here,” the goon snaps at Billy.
I hear the sound of sirens in the distance.
“It’s over, Billy!” I shout.
“It’s not over until I say it’s over!” he yells.
“Let her go, Billy. You don’t want your daughter to watch you die,” Fang says loudly.
“Daddy, stop. Please just stop,” Farrah begs.
Billy’s eyes find mine, and he looks at me with pure hatred. “This is all your fault.”
He raises his gun and fires.
I feel the bullet hit me, and as I hit the ground, I hear them scream my name. As the world starts to go black, I hear the police yell for them to surrender.
“Loyal!” I scream so loud my throat hurts as he drops to the ground.
The prospect grabs me around the waist as I try to move forward and pulls me back.
