I didn’t wall after that.
I grabbed the opening.
My father’s voice barked out at me over the chaos, sharp and demanding. “Vincent! Go! Get the hell out of here! Do you hear me?
right now!
Leave
“What about you?” I shouted back, my chest heaving as I moved toward the door.
“I’ll handle them!” His voice was steady, even as another shot rang out from behind me. “Get out of the country head for the safe house! Do not look back, Vincent. GO!”
My mother was sobbing now, her cries hysterical as she clutched at er face but nobody cared for her.
Sofia was gone, dragged through the office door by the men, and I felt my stomach twist painfully at the thought of where she had gone.
I won’t leave without her!
“YOU FUCKING RAT, ILL KILL YOU!” Frazier screeched out as he stood back up to his feet with his own weapon pointed, and in that moment I knew that there was no more time to waste.
I spun on my heel, darting for the door just as bullets shredded the air around me. My father had started firing again too, the sharp cracks of the gunshots nearly deafening me as I tore out of the room blood roaring in my ears as more of my fathers men rushed by me up the staircase to help defend their boss.
I sprinted towards the front door, my chest heaving, my mind spinning with everything that had just happened. Frazier’s screams still echoed behind me, full of grief and rage, and I knew I knew that I had just started something that could never be undone.
Freddie was dead.
I had killed him.
And now there was no turning back.
It was deserved…
As I burst through the front door and into the nippy afternoon air, the reality crashed into me like a tidal wave.
A war had been born tonight
Sofia, where is she?!
–
one that would burn everything in its path.
I thought, as I took a moment to frantically look around at the number of cars parked around the street, before police sirens began to wail in the distance…
Fuck!
A tooting horn caught my attention next, as I snapped my head to the left to find Reid’s car amongst the others as I almost yelled out my praises having forgot that he was even here.
Rushing towards him, I opened the passenger door, thankful to find sofia already inside – upset and torn – but she was there!

DRIVEL DRIVE QUICK TO THE AIRPourt. I demand, before Rold Pilors if instantly and we take off duwit the street and sut at the réfes at record spol.
It’s vingrey be ok Sofía, trust me!” I turn back over my shoulder, 11. / words souriding harsher than intended due to the Commanding stress I was linder.
Hall done the right thing?
Could there have been another way?
There was no turning back now, whats done was done…
“V–Vincent… w–what will we d–do?!” Sofia sobs loudly, as I shake my head and hold on to the door for stability as Reid speeds up on to the freeway.
“I’m going to protect you Sofia, it’s going to be ok!” 1 state firmly, holding myself together as much as possible but I wasn’t even sure if I believed my own words….
I knew that this wasn’t over.
Not by a long shot.
But I wouldn’t give up, not on her…
