MONTY
Isteered the car safely to a stop, holding my breath instinctively as the thick gas filled the car. A split moment of alarm was calmed by years of experience. Panic would do me no good now, so I swiftly set it aside, allowing only the confidence that I would somehow get out of this with Kayla and kill whichever motherfuckers were behind this.
First, I reached out and touched Kayla, feeling her body in the front seat. Her body was limp, meaning the gas had likely knocked her out. Rage filled me. They had hurt her again, and they weren’t going to get away with it this time.
Instead of getting out of the car immediately, I sat and shut my eyes, waiting for the attackers. They would soon come to collect their quarry, and I would surprise them when they did. I listened closely, trying to gauge their movement. Footsteps on the granite—five, maybe six pairs—all moving quickly, surrounding the car.
One of them came up to stand by my window, and I heard him say, “He’s out,” before swinging the door open.
Wrong move, asshole.
Lightning quick, I grabbed him, pulling him into the car, and in one swift maneuver, I twisted his neck.
“Shit! He’s awake!” I heard someone say before I grabbed the weapon of the now dead guy, rolling out of the car and dropping to the ground instantly as bullets whizzed past my head.
Within those few seconds, I planned my attack. I had to be careful. If bullets started flying around, one of them could accidentally hit Kayla. Just the thought of her getting hurt made me want to rage. No one and nothing was allowed to hurt her ever again.
And that was why I had to get them away from her and end this as swiftly as possible.
I rolled myself away from the car and sighted one of the attackers dressed head to toe in black. I plugged them between the eyes before they could do more than even blink.
Then, I jumped to my feet but squatted down, dodging another round of fire. I took a bullet to the side, but the pain only earned a single grunt out of me. My only thought was to eliminate as many people as possible so they couldn’t get to Kayla. Even if they riddled me with bullets, I had to at least take half of them down with me, giving Kayla a chance to escape.
“Don’t kill him!” someone called out.
The fire ceased, and I felt glee inside. The tide had turned in my favor. They might not be able to kill me, but I sure as fuck could kill them.
The masked man who had made the statement came forward. He looked to be the same size and build as the guy I had taken down in the alley.
“Monty,” the man said. “If only you would comply—”
“Fuck compliance,” I snarled, aiming at him and firing shots. He jumped aside just in time, and I sprayed the bullets in a wider range, managing to hit a couple more people before I was officially out of ammo. Then, without further adieu, I charged at them, forcing hand-to-hand combat.
These men were good, but I was better. I managed to knock the first one right out with one blow while blocking a roundhouse kick to my face. I threw him off, taking a blow to the side as they started coming at me altogether, each one trying to overpower me. Pain exploded throughout my body, but I didn’t care. I held them off. I would not let them get to her no matter fucking what.
Slowly, I began to lose reason.
Blood lust took over my consciousness, and there was no rational thought left in there except to eliminate all of them. I snapped one’s neck easily, then beat another until he was unconscious. Perhaps it was cruel of me, but they had done this, turned me into a vicious animal. They had tried to take someone that belonged to me, tried to hurt someone I cared about, someone I loved, and they were going to regret it.
It wasn’t until I had my hand around the neck of the final guy that I noticed their leader was nowhere in sight. Out of the corner of my vision, I saw the car driving madly away and felt a trace of satisfaction.That’s right, run like the little rats you are.But then the satisfaction quickly turned to horror when I glanced back at my truck and saw that Kayla was no longer in the seat.
“No!” Fear had me frozen in place for a few seconds before I ran like a mad man toward the truck.Maybe I just saw things. Maybe she had simply fallen back.But when I threw the door wide open, I had my worst dread confirmed.
“NO!” I howled my despair and anger.
They had taken her.
They had fucking taken her.
“Motherfuckers!” I yelled, but there was no one around. I had to go after them right now before they got away with her.
No, not her.
Fuck.
Not my Kayla.
