" What the hell was that?!" Bill shouted then stopped dead when he spotted Victoria lying on the floor
in a pool of blood.
The guy in front of Sebastian turned and pointed his gun at Bill while the older man wasn t paying
attention.
" NO!" Sebastian screamed, throwing out a useless hand in Bill s direction just as the guy pulled the
trigger.
Bill stumbled back clutching his lower stomach. He bumped into the shelves behind him,
bringing down everything on them as he sunk to the floor. Bill s eyes were wide and his mouth was
open in shock. He blinked at Sebastian in confusion. It took everything Sebastian had not to throw up
right then and there. Sebastian did at least have enough sense to hit the silent alarm button while the
guys backs were turned. It was under the counter right next to him, thank god.
Sebastian took a couple deep breaths. He needed to focus. He needed to think. He needed to
get out of this alive. For Bill, for his brothers, for his parents and his nephews. Sebastian had his gun
in a holster at the small of his back. His shirt was tucked in in the back so there was nothing
obstructing him from getting to it fast. But could he draw it fast enough to pop the guy in front of him
and the second guy, who was standing closer to the door? The second guy would have plenty of time
to raise his weapon and fire if Sebastian took out the first guy.
The guy in front of him swung back around...gun raised and pointing at Sebastian's face. " You killed
my brother, you motherfucker!" he snarled hatefully.
" And you broke into my brother s house," Sebastian replied calmly. He now knew that he was talking
to Hector Marquez.
" I don't give a fuck! All I fucking care about is making you pay!" Hector yelled. The gun pointed at
Sebastian's face shook slightly from the man's anger.
It was now or never. Do or Die. Sebastian was about to kill two more people. Could he do
it? He wanted to live, so...yes. Making his decision...Sebastian felt the world slow just like it did the
first time. He reached behind him...
Pop...pop-pop!
Sebastian stood frozen. His gun was still pointed one handed at where the second guy had
been standing. He did it. He shot Hector in the head - killing him instantly - then he turned his gun on
the second guy, shooting him twice in the chest. Sebastian let go of the breath he'd been holding and
lowered his arm.
" Sebastian," Bill's pained plea snapped him back into reality.
" Oh Jesus! Bill!" Sebastian cried, scrambling over the counter to get to him as fast as possible.
Sebastian skidded to a stop and dropped to his knees next to his boss. He dropped his gun to
the floor and yanked his shirt over his head. He moved Bill's hands aside and pressed his shirt to the
oozing wound. Bill yelped in pain but covered Sebastian's hands with his own, putting more pressure.
Bill looked up at Sebastian with glassy eyes. " That was amazing what you did, Sebastian. I thought
you were going to be murdered...right in front of my eyes," he panted, grimacing in pain.
" Shh...don't talk. Save your strength," Sebastian whispered, not trusting his voice.
As the minutes passed, Bill grew paler and paler. Sebastian was now kneeling in Bill s
blood and his hands were covered with it. Bill's breathing became ragged and shallow. Where the
fuck were the police?! Bill wasn't going to make it if they didn't hurry the hell up. Bill's hands slowly
slipped from Sebastian's. Sebastian's eyes snapped up to look at his boss face. Bill s eyes were
closed and his head was hanging to the side.
" Bill?...Bill?!...Bill, wake up!" Sebastian yelled. Bill didn't move and Sebastian couldn't tell if he
was breathing or not. He didn't want to move his hands and risk him bleeding out any more then he
already was. Fuck! " HELP! SOMEONE HELP ME!" Sebastian screamed at the top of his lungs. He
ended with a ragged sob. " Oh Jesus...someone help me...Bill...hang on man, you gotta hang on."
Sebastian rocked back and forth as he sobbed. He cried for Bill and he cried for Victoria.
He might not have liked her, but she had been his wife at one time. He had loved her. She may have
betrayed him but he didn't want her dead. He didn't want her dead.
Sebastian distantly heard the bell chime and voices filled the air. He heard some shouting
and hands roughly grabbed him. They tried to drag him away from Bill, but he fought back. He
bellowed and fought against the hands pulling him away. It wasn't until he heard Raelynn's voice yell
for whoever had him to let him go - did he stop. Sebastian sat on his ass, hands and pants covered in
blood, watching as the paramedics worked on Bill.
An arm slipped gently around his neck while a hand smoothed over his hair. Honeysuckle [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
