Anissa's POV

"Anissa I think...I think Harry is inside the car," Mariano says, his voice shaking.

"H-H-How do you know?" I ask in a slow whisper. I have my eyes focused on Mariano, who is squinting over the wheel, as I wait for his answer.

"His shirt's still unbuttoned, I can see his tattoos," Mariano whispers looking back at me with an uneasy expression, "That butterfly, and the little bird thing."

There's no mistaking those tattoos, it's Harry.

"We need to save him then," I say no longer whispering, reaching for the door handle. Mariano quickly grabs my arms twisting them together.

"Ow, what the hell? Let go! I need to .." I begin to shout. Mariano quickly uses one of his hands to cover my mouth, silencing me.

"Are you crazy?"Mariano hisses, with his hand still on my mouth,"Anissa if they see us, they'll kill us too." He then removes his hand from my mouth, still holding my arms tightly together, probably to be sure I don't try to open the door again.

"So what? We're just going to sit here and watch Harry burn?" I snap angrily.

I can't just sit here and let him die.

"No," Mariano says as he peers over the steering wheel again,"As soon as they leave I'm going to get Harry out of there, I promise."

"What if they don't leave?" I question impatiently.

"They will," He assures me, "They're already putting there stuff back into their van and some of the guys are stepping back in."

"Stuff? What stuff?" I ask since Mariano still has me squished down in my seat.

"Empty buckets," Mariano says looking back at me with horror in his eyes,"I think they're trying to make the car explode."

Why is this happening?

Why.
Why.
Why.

"How do you know they're trying to make the car explode?" I ask feeling uneasy.

"They've done it before," Mariano answers looking disgusted,"I've heard stories about them doing something like this, I just can't believe that ... that it's actually true."

"What if we can't save him in time," I croak after a few seconds of silence. I know it's terrible of me to think so negatively but I can't help but to be realistic in this situation.

He's trapped in a burning car that may potential explode....

I could lose Harry.

Fighting or not I can't bare to lose him.

We've only known each other for a short period of time, but I can honestly say Harry has already impacted my life.

Sure he ended up being different than what I thought, but regardless of all that Harry taught me something I will never forget.
