“Nobody moves! He dies if anybody does!” Pierre sounded aloof while he issued his warning.
“Pierre Fowler! How dare you?!” The leader who was being subdued by Pierre was reasonably displeased, considering that he had just taken control of the site, only to be captured by Pierre almost instantly.
“Why won’t I dare to hold you hostage?” Pierre pointed the gun at the leader’s head.
“All of you, stay still!” The leader seemed to have finally gotten a taste of fear. Meanwhile, the other people lowered their guns, and that was when their bet began. “Fowler, did you assume that you would be fine after you have taken me hostage? The entire island is currently in lockdown, so you won’t be able to escape! You’re not getting anywhere with that small boat of yours!”
Selena wasn’t in the mood to stay and watch, as she decided she would either escape or die trying to do so. Quickly untying the rope attached to the boat, she started the engine, which fortunately roared to life as soon as she did so. Upon noticing that, Pierre dragged the leader with him while still pointing a gun at his head. Then, they boarded the boat together, and it wasn’t until they were some distance away that Pierre kicked him off the boat.
As soon as the leader fell into the water, the rest of them fired at the boat in rapid succession. Selena felt a stinging pain in her leg before Pierre pushed her down beneath him. Due to the shelter that darkness provided, the people on the island could only shoot blindly, so they didn’t pose much of a threat after the boat was away from the shore.
“Are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?” Despite his questions, Selena looked away as she was intent on ignoring him.
