“What the hell are you saying?” Skeet asks rather furiously.
“I mean that’s why I’m here, to ensure this goes as planned. He needs our pretty little lady here gone, her children dealt with, and I’m here to make sure that is exactly what happens.”
“Fuck you Dalton,” I shout reaching for a metal pipe that was leaning against the floor. “I won’t let you get anywhere near me or any one of my kids.”
“You won’t have a choice, pretty girl.” He steps toward me as soon as Skeet lowers the gun in confusion. I freeze as he approaches, cringing when he reaches out to me, trailing his fingers over Sapphire’s little blond head. “You will do exactly as I say you understand Jade,” he whispers against my ear, bringing his lips down to my neck.
“You’re fucking crazy, you psycho…”
“Shh,” he murmurs, his finger now resting upon my lips. “You will do as I say if you want to get out of here alive. Your brother and Sebastian are right outside that door, waiting for my cue to enter. I will disarm Skeet, but it only gives you about twenty seconds to run and duck for cover before the two of them come barging in.”
“What?” I mutter in shock at what I’m hearing. This can’t be true. Kane can’t be working with Sebastian, he can’t be seriously trying to help me out of this mess. “I don’t…”
“What are you two whispering about?” Skeet shouts, walking over to us.
His lackey Toby, watches us intently, producing a gun from his pocket and keeping it at arm's length.
“Skeet, you two can go now. I’ll handle it from here.”
Skeet laughs loudly, shaking his head in disagreement, “Nah Dalton, I don’t take orders from you. Silver paid me a pretty penny to finish this job and that is exactly what I plan to do.”
Kane smirks widely at me, winking before he turns to face Skeet. “Looks like you’re not understanding me.” Now it’s Kane who pulls a gun out of his back pocket pointing it directly at Skeet's temple. “I’m not asking you to leave Skeet, I’m giving you the opportunity to walk out of here in one piece.”
Kane’s gesture only makes Skeet laugh, “You’re the one who’s not hearing me out, Kane. I’m not going anywhere without Jade’s pretty little head on a spike I’ll then plant on the Silver’s front lawn.”
“Your head is the one who will be on the end of a fucking spike!” Sebastian shouts as he barges through the door behind us. The shock from his sudden arrival catches us all off guard. Skeet manages to yank Kane’s gun out of his hand while Toby points his directly at Sebastian who rushes to my side.
Sebastian’s arms wrap around us, holding us closely to his body, sharing his warmth and feeling of security. My baby came to save me, to save us. I knew he’d never leave us.
“Sebastian…”
“What a pretty little picture,” Skeet mocks, advancing toward us. “The whole family is together again. You know Stephan is doing all this to ensure his son can continue his legacy without the threat of this lowly whore. But I’m sure he won’t mind if I take you all out instead.”
“Get the fuck away from us, you son of a bitch. Hurt them and I’ll fucking kill you.” Sabastian moves to stand in front of us, shielding us with his body.
“Sebastian, no please,” I cry out, Skeet’s gun pointed at his head.
“You should have listened to your old man, son. You should have listened when he ordered you to forget about her and the measly little crush. I mean I get it, she is a vision,” he utters, making a chef’s kiss gesture.
“You fucking asshole!”
“Nuh-uh uh,” Skeet murmurs, waving his gun back and forth. “I’m the one in charge now.” “He warned you all of this would happen darling. You should have taken the money when he offered it. Could have run off and started a new life anywhere, yet you chose to stay and in turn put all of their lives in danger. You have only yourself to blame for all of this Jade...”
“I’m warning you Skeet,” Kane mutters, watching from the sideline.
“I’m tired of your warnings and threats Dalton. I’m sick and tired of these rich little fuckers getting it all. The money, the power, the looks, the girl. It’s time for us regular guys to get a piece of the cake. So I’ve decided to go rogue. I won’t be getting rid of you Jade. I’ll be finishing off your little family, but I’ve decided I’m keeping you.”
In the next moment, Sebastian pounces on Skeet tackling him down to the floor just as a loud gunshot echoes through the room.
BANG!
“No!” I cry out falling to my knees cradling my screaming babies in my arms. There is a blaring ringing in my ears, the gunshot so close it must have popped an eardrum. All I see is Skeet lying on the floor with Sebastian over him, beside them a large puddle of blood forming on the concrete. No. No. No.
This can’t be happening.
“Sebastian, no please.”
Kane rushes to his side, helping him to his feet. I can’t tell if he’s hurt, though it’s Skeet who lies lifeless on the floor. I look over to Toby who stares blankly in fear at his dead friend on the floor. But just as he is about to run toward the door, another gunshot is heard.
