“Yeah Ipicked up a few extra things also.”
Adam andWill came back through the window to join me.
We hademptied most of the store. “I guess nobody thought to look for things in apharmacy, huh?” I said referring to the way the pharmacy was left untouchedbefore we got there. “Yeah I guess so, or there’s nobody left alive to look.”
The thoughtmade me shiver.
Will noddedhis head. “Let's get out of here.”
We wentoutside but there was no sign of Tony. It was then that we heard the gunshotand the sound of a woman's scream.
Will thrusthis bag into my arms. “Take this back to the car and bring the car around back,keys should be in the ignition.” He was already running towards the sound ofthe shot.
I turned toAdam he looked really nervous and his hands were shaking.
“Can youtake these back to the car and bring it around back?” I asked him, trying togive him a way out of following Will but still save face. The relief was plainto see on his face, he grabbed Will’s bag and was off to the car in an instant.
Guiltweighed heavily on my mind as I shouldered my bag, I started off in the otherdirection, away from them, I was going to get back to Kelly and the kids andthen get them to safety. I would come back for Will and Nia once my family wassafe, I tried to tell myself, but deep down I knew that there would be nocoming back, it was too dangerous, and I would never leave my family alone everagain.
A screamsounded again, followed by lots of shouting, I stopped and closed my eyes. Iheard a woman’s voice call out, begging. I knew I couldn’t just leave, I had tomake sure that Will and Adam were ok. I turned back the way Will had just gone, my footsteps echoing as I ran.
I got therejust in time to see Will dragging Tony off a woman who was crying. I ran to seeif I could help.
I got toher and offered my hand, she looked at me scared, her eyes were wide with fear,I smiled what I hoped was an assuring smile and nodded my head. She continuedsobbing but took my hand and I pulled her to her feet. I noticed that her dresswas torn down the front exposing a ripped bra and part of her nipple. Igestured to her and quickly gave her my jacket and turned away as she coveredherself up. She began to sob softly trying to gain control over her emotions.
Itwas then that I noticed Will and Tony were fighting. Tony’s jeans were undoneand pulled down slightly and his limp member was hanging out of them. Then Iput two and two together, Will had caught Tony tryingto rape this woman. God he was a low life.
“Did he hurt you, it's ok you cantell me,” I asked her softly.
She noddedher head. “But he didn't actually ra…” she trailedoff a fresh set of tears streaming down her face.
My anger atthis man was growing by the second, my blood was boiling, I pumped my fists.
“Aww comeon Will, I was only having a bit of fun with her. Tell him sweetheart youwanted it really,” Tony said ducking punches from Will and throwing his own. Heseemed to be enjoying the fight. He finally got the better of Will and sat ontop of him punching him in the face.
“I hate youWill I have always hated you, thinking you could come into the gang and take myplace? Well fuck you!” He screamed at him. Will was struggling to fight back.Tony wrapped his hands around Will’s throat and started to squeeze, Will was becoming too weak to fight back. I started to walktowards them, to help Will.
“Don'tleave me please,” the girl begged holding onto my arm, pulling me backwards.
Adam hadpulled up in the car and was about to get out when I gestured to him to stayput. I sent the girl to Adam reassuring her that he was one of the goodguys and started to jog towards Tony and Will. I could see Will was giving upthe fight but I could not allow Tony to win.
“It’s agood thing really, Will, with you out of the way I'm going to have so much funwith Nia. By the time I’m finished with her she will be begging me to…”
I pulledout my gun remembering everything Will had told meabout how to use it, put my gun to Tony’s head and pulled the trigger.
“Have funwith that,” I shouted at him, the adrenaline pumping through my body gave memore courage than I really had.
Tony’s bodyfell on top of Will and pinned him to the floor. Blood had splattered over thepavement next to them and I tried my best not to look at it or think about whatI had just done. I bent down and extended both of my hands for Will. He grabbedthem and dragged himself up. His chest was still heaving trying to replace theoxygen he had just been denied. I wrapped one of his arms around my neck andsupported him until we got to the car.
I opened theback door and he climbed in unaided.
My earswere ringing and everything sounded muffled.
“Wow, Will are you ok man?” Adam asked sounding concerned. “Thisis Amelia.” He nodded towards the girl we just saved. “I always hatedthat guy,” Adam finished.
“Good tomeet you Amelia,” I said and smiled. She was kind of hot.
I startedto feel a little guilty for thinking it but then I remembered that I wasmarried, not dead so I did notice that she was really sexy. She had long shinybrown hair down to her waist and bright green eyes. A good body and extremelylong legs. She wore light blue skinny jeans and now my jacket. Well-worntrainers on her feet.
“Wait! Mybag, I dropped it, over there by that car” she pointed to an old burned outcar, I could just make out the small brown shape by the back tyre.
I jumpedout, jogged over to it, picked up the very light duffle bag and
