“Let me go!” shouts Lauren.
“Shut up bitch!” shouts the man that is standing behind Lauren and is restraining her.
“Toss over the sword!” shouts a different man that is standing behind Lauren and her captor.
I slowly turn around and see the two men. I see the man behind Lauren and he’s a tall overweight pale white man. I see the man that demanded my sword and he’s a pale white man as well, but he’s much shorter and skinnier than the man that is behind Lauren. The skinny pale white man has a small handgun pointed at me, and I notice that he has scratches on his neck.
“Give me your fuckin sword!” shouts the skinny pale white man as he looks at my katana that is in my right hand.
“Okay, let my wife go, and I’ll give you my sword,” I say to the skinny pale white man.
The skinny pale white man keeps his black revolver pointed at me and doesn’t reply.
Jaws Junior sees a large wrench on a chair next to him and he slowly reaches for it.
“Did you two kill those two women?” I ask as I look at the skinny pale white man.
I notice the overweight pale white man shows some remorse on his face after I asked about the two women.
“Come on Tyler, let’s just go,” says the large overweight pale white man.
“We ain’t going anywhere Tiny. We got out of jail and I ain’t going back,” says the skinny pale white man.
I see that Lauren is scared and I feel the immediate need to save her.
“I’ll give you my sword for the girl, deal?” I say to the two pale white men.
“Put the sword down!” shouts Tyler.
I feel Jaws Junior doing something behind me, but my main focus is on getting Lauren away from these two men.
“Okay, I’m putting my sword down,” I say to Tyler.
I lightly toss my katana into the overgrown front lawn that is on my left.
“Put your hands up!” shouts Tyler at me.
I raise my hands above my head and reply, “Okay, okay.”
“Good, now give me your mask and we’ll be on our way,” says Tyler to me.
I look at Tyler and then Lauren and then Tiny.
“Not until you let my wife go,” I say.
Tyler steps closer to me, with his black revolver pointed at me, and shouts, “You ain’t making demands! I’m in control here!”
As Tyler shouts at me he aims his revolver off of me and towards Jaws Junior’s driveway.
I notice the revolver aimed at the ground and I swiftly reach towards Tyler and Tyler fires a shot.
BANG!
The shot from Tyler’s revolver hits Jaws Junior’s driveway. I grab Tyler’s right hand and Tyler drops the revolver.
Jaws Junior runs from behind me and smacks Tyler’s forehead just above his left eye socket with his large wrench as I am holding Tyler’s arms below his waist.
I feel Tyler go limp and Tyler falls to the ground.
Tiny sees Tyler’s lifeless body on the ground and he loosens his grip on Lauren.
Lauren stomps on Tiny’s right foot and Tiny screams in pain. Lauren is free from Tiny’s grip and she runs away from Tiny.
Jaws Junior and I look at Tiny and Tiny pleads, “I’m sorry. It was all Tyler. I didn’t want to hurt your wife or those two women.”
“Who else is in here?” asks Jaws Junior to Tiny.
“No one, it was only Tyler and me. The rest are still back at the prison,” answers Tiny.
“You got out?” I ask Tiny.
“Yeah, Tyler couldn’t take it in there anymore and I went with him,” answers Tiny.
“Who is running the prison?” I ask Tiny.
“I’m not sure now, but before we left it was Dennison and his crew,” answers Tiny.
I see Lauren and I ask, “Are you okay?”
“Yeah, but can we go now?” answers Lauren.
“Yeah, let’s get back home,” I say.
“What about these two?” asks Jaws Junior.
I think about what to do with Tiny and Tyler and I remember the two guys that Phil and I tied to the street sign.
I hear movement behind me, turn around, and I see Tyler coming towards me with my katana.
I push Jaws Junior out of the way of Tyler and dodge Tyler’s downward swinging motion of my katana.
Tyler misses me with my katana, but he connects with Tiny. I look at Tiny and see my katana is stuck in the top of his forehead and hairline.
I remove my handgun from my right thigh holster and fire a shot at Tyler.
BANG!
My shot hits Tyler in his right temple and he falls onto Jaws Junior’s driveway.
I quickly stand up and see that Tyler is dead but Tiny is still alive as he looks at me.
I’m amazed to see Tiny standing there and looking right at me.
“I’m….” says Tiny and then Tiny collapses to his knees and then onto his right side.
I look down at Tiny and I remove my katana from his head.
Tiny has stopped breathing and blood is pouring out of his head and onto Jaws Junior’s driveway.
“Time to go,” I say.
Jaws Junior runs into his garage and hits the garage door button.
Lauren and I get into the backseat of our car and Jaws Junior gets into the driver seat as his garage door closes.
I look at Lauren and ask, “Are you okay?”
“Yeah, that was scary as shit though,” answers Lauren.
Jaws Junior reverses out of his driveway and speeds towards the exit of his neighborhood.
“So much for an easy quick trip today?” jokes Jaws Junior as he drives down the street.
“Yeah, I think getting your bike back home is out,” I reply to Jaws Junior.
“We’ll have
