Contracts

Chap. 4: You're not playing the game, if you don't risk something while playing

Allyson walks out of the room, Alexander follows her.

The woman makes my blood boil, but **SIGH** poor Allyson, she has gone through a lot, losing the love of her life, losing her daughter, and all at the same time, all before the age of 18, this is too much for person, is enough to mess you up. Alexander came to Allyson's life just in time, because he became, her center, her rock, her protector, but nothing more. Alexander loves Allyson, but she doesn't love him, she simply sees him as that person that will never reject and judge her, someone who will accept her as she is, but at the same time she is denying Alexander of happiness, which is unfair.

"Stop" Arthur shouts, I frown **GUN SHOT** Was that a gun shot? What on earth is going on out there? The door is violently opened "Mrs. Woods, I am sorry to disturb you like this, but I have to ask you to come with us" a masked man says as he grabs me by the arm and drags me out of the room.

I want to struggle, give him a fight, or at least make his job harder, but I can't, I do not have enough energy, the strength to free myself and run to safety.

I gasp in horror "Arthur" I whisper as tears pile up in my eyes "Is he dead?" I ask "I do not know, but I hope he is dead or at least he is smart enough to stay down, because I wouldn't want to put another bullet in him" he answers "Get him assistance, you got me, get someone to make sure he lives" I say, he ignores me, and I use the little of my strength to pull my arm back, it doesn't stop him, but if forces him to look at me "I'm kidnapping you to kill you, what makes you believe I am a good guy?" He asks "Now that we have established our roles, we need to move, we have follow a schedule" the boss adds as he abruptly pulls my arm, forcing me to walk again.

"Why do you want to kill me?" I ask "Because we were paid to kill you, Mrs. Woods, that's all you need to know" he answers, I blink a few times as I frown, someone wants me out of the way, the question is who?

One of the minions calls for the elevator "Hand on the air and release Mrs. Woods, now" Antonio orders and I curse under my breath, what made him think that he could go against 7 men on his own? He is going to get hurt, I can not allow that to happen, if he gets hurt, Alexander will not have any protection "Go back" I order, before the boss can speak "Mrs. Woods, allow me to do my job" Antonio says "I am not asking you, Antonio, I am ordering you to go back, do as told" I say, but he doesn't move a muscle "Alexander is your main focus, stop this, and go back" I say "If I were you, I would listen to her, I mean, we are 7, you are one, and I am do not think you are fast enough to kill us all without compromising her" the boss says "Drop your weapons, raise your hands, and release her" Antonio orders again "Alright, do not say I did not gave him a chance" the boss says as he points his gun towards Antonio.

Antonio can not get hurt, I use all my energy to free myself from the boss's grip and get between him and Antonio, but the timing wasn't right and I got shot in my shoulder "AH!" I cry in pain "See what you made me do, now, back away, because I do not think she can stand another bullet on her" the boss says "Alright" Antonio says **PING** "Ah! Our ride is here" the boss says as he grabs me by injured arm and drags me to the elevator "AH!" I cry again "I wouldn't scream that loud, your husband might hear you, walk out, try something stupid, and I would have to put a bullet on him too" the boss says, I bite my tongue and hold the pain as I am been drag into the elevator.

I can not allow them to hurt Alexander.

I am start to black out as I am thrown in the back of a van, I impact against the cold metal floor "Ah" I cry "Tie her hands and legs together" the boss orders as the back door is close, the van starts to move as two of the minions tie my hands and my legs "Why are we moving so slowly? What do you want get us caught? STEP ON IT" the boss orders and the van is accelerated, forcing me to crash against one of the walls "Ah" I cry "Do not worry, Mrs. Woods, your pain will end soon" the boss says and I black out.
