Thud.
The faint sound of a car door slammed behind me. I barely caught the sound, spinning to find nothing but the dull wash of streetlights fighting away the dark. But the others missed it. They missed it while they searched for a way out of here.
“The car’s parked on the street behind,” Neon muttered. “It’s all shot to hell, but it’s driveable.”
“We can’t go back for ours,” Ben snarled, flinching as thecrack crack crackcame louder.
The sound of a car’s engine came behind the gunmen. There were more coming. More from The Order, to close us in like rats. This was bad...this was really bad…
I turned to Nick.
Crack!
“Fuck!” Tobias barked as he stumbled sideways.
There was a tear in the side of his shirt and behind it, blood.
“Oh, shit,” Nick mumbled.“Oh, shit.”
THIRTY-SIX
Tobias
“Oh, shit,”Caleb muttered, staring at my side.
But I didn’t stop to look, didn’t even swipe at the searing agony that spread outwards. I just lifted my gun, took aim, and fired, hitting him in the leg.
The asshole in black unleashed a cry and went down onto one knee. He lifted his head, and his eyes widened, knowing this was over as I centered my sight and squeezed the trigger.Boom!Adrenaline rushed before I was taking aim again.
BOOM!
Gunshots cracked in rapid succession, too loud and too damn close. I lunged for the building as Ben was slammed backwards.
“What the fuck!” Nick roared.
I didn’t have time to think—just toreact.
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
I swung my gun, but it was too late. One look at Ben and I knew he was in trouble. Blood spread out from his shoulder. Neon jerked beside him and went down. Jack stepped forward, protecting them as much as he could as he fired again and again and again. But it was no use. There were too many rushing at us from around the corner of the fence line.
“We need to run!” Nick roared, stepping forward, taking out as many as he could.
Crack!
Crack!
Ryth was right beside him. Her hands were shaking and her eyes were wide as she fired her gun again and again. Neon shoved upwards and grabbed Ben as he jerked his gaze my way. “We split up. It’s the only way we get out of this alive.”
“No,” Ben growled, shaking his head. But the man was pale, growing more ashen by the second.
“Lucky it’s not up to you.” Neon heaved his boss upwards, took one look around, and raced for the building across the alley, with Jack close behind.
“Wait!” Ben roared, jerking his gaze over his shoulder.
