“Why is he aware of our presence?” It was then I figured out he had allowed us to sneak our way to Christopher’s side to lure him out of hiding. It had always been part of his plan to threaten Christopher with my wellbeing.
He’s such a lucky man! I thought I managed to take him out with a shot when he was on board! It turns out he’s still kicking and alive when he was supposed to drown to his death!
Instead of answering the man’s query, Christopher grasped the gun with all his might. It was then Lyle urged, “Can you fire another shot and render him incapable of speech?”
“The shot fired a few seconds ago was the last shot since I had run out of bullets.”
Christopher’s announcement took us by surprise since we would be dead the moment the vicious bunch made their way to our hideout.
Out of the blue, John yelled, “Christopher, I’ll take you out since you won’t stop coming after me when I’ve tried running away from you for more than once! I’ll consider doing you a favor and leave your wife alone if you surrender yourself! However, if you refuse, I’ll get my men to have some fun with her once I take you into custody!”
Christopher couldn’t stop himself from trembling in angst. As infuriated as he might be, he answered in a callous tone, “I’m pretty sure you’re trying to deceive me again! Once I’m dead, they’re going to end up in a similar manner! You don’t think I’m going to fall for your tricks, do you?”
“Well, we shall see if you’re going to make it out alive when you’re running out of ammo and supplies!”
“Chris!” Slouching against the man, I could feel his frigid limbs when there was a scorching sun above us. I started running my hands across him and felt a sense of security when I felt the dagger he had with him.
I thought I could stop them from trying anything silly as long as I took myself out when all hell broke loose.
