The partially visible human figure appeared slowly, and suddenly the light of a muzzle flashed before him.

The odd noise echoed around the small alleyway. It was a handgun with a silencer on it.

Larry heard the noise as he was getting in the passenger seat, and he quickly ducked and hid under the dashboard, realizing that it was a gun firing.

Even though the car was not bulletproof, it was better than taking a bullet.

Larry saw Kieran dodge the gunner before he vanished from his sight.

He had no idea where he had gone, but he knew Kieran would not just abandon him and ran away.

The continuous gunshots proved as much.

Both the car’s headlights were shot off. Other than the occasional muzzle flashing and the shooter’s malicious gaze in between the flashes, the alleyway was completely dark.

It was pitch black when the guns stopped firing, and Larry, who had been cowering down, got up again to check the situation.
