Chapter 4

He was holding firmly to Rachel's wrist. She was struggling to wretch her hand out of his hold.

His right hand was holding a gun which he uses to threaten this lady.

Ethan was taken aback as his hands shook. Why would a billionaire plot this heist?

The passage was wide enough to accommodate 5 people at the same pace.

He had a lot of questions but watching him hurt Rachel got him worked up.

Ethan almost said a word to him but Rodger shook his head not to.

His shock was the fact Gary was acting abusive when everyone sees him as a saint.

"Let go of me!" Rachel yells and he juggles her closer to himself while gesturing to her to keep silent.

Ethan was dazzle as he tries to reach her but Rodger blocked him and beckons on him to be composed.

"Hey! Lead the way!" He barks at Ethan who scoffs unbelievably. He toss the torchlight to Rodger.

Ethan walks pass him and obstructed Gary's path.

"Let go of her now" he orders scrowling at him. At first, Gary was speechless and then he bursted into a hysterical laughter.

He furthers warning Gary not to lay a hand on her.

"Rodger, where did you find this loser" Gary muses and as Rodger was about to respond, someone shot him in the head.

The sound of gun made them startled as Rodger crash to the ground, falling an inche to Ethan's feet.

Ethan was leaning to the wall as he couldn't help but stare at the dead Rodger.

"Oh my God" Rachel lamented shutting her eyes and falling to her knees. 

She was quacking and had seen enough bloodshed. 

Her hand escaped Gary's grip as she covers her ears with her palms.

Gary and Ethan ducks their head as their eyes trail after the killer. He was just behind Gary.

Hastily, Gary flip around and shot him on the chest before this killer could make another move.

This killer wriggles as he scramble on the ground, attempting to grab his pistol but Gary shot him multiple times on the head.

The crashing and riffling sound echoed in this place. He was having fun like a psychopath as he grins.

He puff and pants while shifting his stare at Ethan. The perplexed man noticed that Rachel was crawling towards Ethan.

Gary was willing to waste this man, after all, he had an awkward feeling towards Ethan since they first met.

As for Ethan, his breath had ceased as he tried to reach out to Rachel who was just an inche closer.

Oddly Gary shot at his shoulder. He wails and quickly covers his aching shoulder with his left palm.

He stutters behind as his legs causes him to fall at a close proximity with Rodger. His eyes were peeking at Gary.

Writhing his body on the ground and groaning in pain. Rachel covered her mouth as she stood up from the ground.

"I hate it when people order me" he whispers and intended to shoot him on the chest.

However Rachel race towards Ethan and spread her arms to shield him while facing Gary.

"Don't! Please he's innocent"

Gary was pissed off to see her begging for Ethan's life in tears.

Angrily, he flung her aside and she slams her head on the wall while falling steadily to the ground.

Gary racks his gun and gave him another hit on the leg. Ethan growl loudly as the twinge he felt around his leg made his mind void.

His hands were stained with gushing blood. He would certainly not survive the night.

He preferred not to imagine his early death over a heist that didn't work out or probably did but to only Gary's favor.

His head was throbbing and he couldn't concentrate as his vision was becoming blurry.

Wistfully, he wasn't there for Rachel at this crucial times. 

He could neither rescue her as he was battling through the torments gotten from the bullet.

Ethan timorously streel himself in reverse, sapped and fagged out. 

He stopped when his hand touched Rodger's gun. Ethan was attempting to clasp it but was trepidatious.

It slip off his hand and landed between his thighs.

"Damn it" he cusses grieved at the soreness of the injury he had sustained.

Gary smirks at him as he enjoys how agonized Ethan was under his nose. He sneak a look at Rachel who flinches because of the pain he had caused her.

Blood trickles down from her head and it concerns Ethan who peeks at her.

The anger of seeing her in pain made him clutch the gun between his thighs.

Gary hadn't noticed he had a weapon as he was blinded by rage and needed to finish up Ethan before leaving with Rachel.

He presumes that the cops had already secured the arena. As for the artifacts, it were his to begin with.

Just as Rodger had explain, it was a plot to kill not steal. Ethan was mystified and unable to explain the haze.

At that moment, Ethan had almost given up, demented and enervated yet he needed to save himself.

If he wants to see his son again and reclaim Rachel.

"Never tell me how to handle my wife" Gary yells snapping him back to reality.

He made an attempt to snipe at Ethan on the head when he suddenly felt a sharp pain around his lower abdomen.

He shivers as cold flushes around his entire body. 

Ethan was trying to detect what was happening.

His ears tings at sounds of bullet flaring. Roughly, Gary crashed on him within seconds.

He felt his hotness and weight pinning him to the ground. Gary's head laid rest on his chest.

With bated breath, he hauls the body from him and rested his head on the ground.

Whimpering and mumbling unknown words. The weapon in Ethan's hand slopes off as he gurgles and puff out blood.

He tried to scout out rachel as he pants softly. His blurry eyes saw her figure a distance from him.

The last memory he could recall was Rachel standing behind the unconscious Gary covered in blood.
