7 Mission Success!

Alex limped up to where the little girl stayed. He felt that he shouldn't have left her.

He climbed up, 3rd, 4th. Arriving on the floor.

When he heard muffled shouts. 'Damn!' He cursed under his breath.

Alex silently hid. If he acted now, the child might get caught up. He will wait for the right moment.

'Shhhh' The man shushed the roused girl. He placed his cupped hand in her mouth and put his pointing finger to his lips.

He yanked the girl to her feet and placed a handgun to her cheek. 'Shut your mouth or I'll put a bullet to your head.' He threatened.

Despite this the little girl squirmed and struggled to break free from his grip.

The man raised his gun and hit the little girl square in the head and carried her by the shoulder.

The little girls head was bleeding. Alex was extremely angered with this kind of treatment to the child. When the mans back faced him. He charged towards the man.

'You assh*le! Rot in hell!' Anger consumed Alex and wildly crashed towards the man.

The man was pushed by Alex and the back of his head hit the pole of the bed.

He groaned before fainting, falling into the ground with a large thud.

Alex ran towards the unconscious little girl. She had a shallow wound but the bleeding was very bad.

Looking around the room. Alex tore the covers of the worn down bed into a long strip of cloth. He gently lifted the head of the girl and wrapped her head.

He took out the cellphone to call the woman who was worried to death for her baby daughter.

'Bang'

Alex felt something hit his head, and immediately fell on the ground. Alex almost fell unconscious but he kept himself awake.

The next thing he knew he was standing upright and his neck within the palms of the man who he thought he knocked out unconscious.

'Who are you and why are you doing this!?!' The man yelled, he kept his grip tight around Alex neck.

'I'm merely a passerby' Alex was barely able to speak but still kept on his smirk. Alex was still able to move his hands, he quickly unsheathed his knife from his belt and stabbed the man in the guts.

The man who got stabbed, 'Motherf*cker' Who the f*ck are you? What did we ever do to you?!' He said with anger and fear mixed.

'The fact you laid your hands on her was enough for you to die a hundred times over and over again. But fortunately for you, you only have one' Alex drew close to the man and tried to stab him again.

The man knew Alex next move was to kill him, good thing he kept his gun.

'Move closer and I shoot her!' Pointing his gun at the unconscious little girl.

Alex hesitated but he backed off. 'Leave her alone and I guarantee you, your life' Alex suggested.

'Why do I fucking need to obey you? I have a fucking gun for gods sake! Do you think your puny knife can kill me?' The man laughed maniacally.

Alex in a swift motion threw the knife towards the man aiming for his neck. But at the same time the man pulled the trigger. Before the man could pull the trigger Alex was already in front of the little girl.

'Bang'

The thrown knife was stuck at the mans neck. He coughed up blood, before mouthing. 'F*ck you'

His hands roamed at his slit neck. Unbelief in his eyes. But he suddenly fell, and he was dead.

Alex who was watching this scene suddenly felt pain in his upper left chest. He did a grabbing motion in his upper chest only to see his hands bloodied. He was shot twice, on the abdomen and near his heart. Only know did he feel the pain, after the end of his adrenaline rush.

Alex wasted no time, he called the woman and told her the address while coughing. He heard the woman said she was coming, her voice frantic and concerned.

Alex was satisfied, at least he saved someone before his death, at least he did one good thing.

This might scar the little girl for life, while scars don't heal, you either live with it and lead a normal life or go crazy thinking about it and ruin your life. He hoped she was the former.

Finally after 5 years. It was the first time Alex cried. Tears fell one after another.

Breathing his last, his eyes grew dimmer and suddenly there was no light in it anymore.

The last thing he heard was police sirens before leaving this world.
