Chapter 0169
I get out and survey the place. We were in a junk yard. I smile at our luck. This meant
there were a lot of places to hide from Reaper and his men.
“We have to find the exit. From there, I believe things will be easy” I tell Emma as we start
moving.
She nods her head in agreement and walks beside me. We’re careful as we look for an out.
Keeping ourselves hidden and making sure we don’t walk in the open.
“Where the hell is the exit?” Emma was exasperated. It was easy to tell.
We’ve been walking for a few minutes. Even though we haven’t come across any goons,
we also haven’t
come close to finding the exit.
“Maybe we should rest a little” I was beginning to get tired. My face was hurting, so were
my hands and
feet.
That thought is immediately shot to the ground when we here a blaring alarm. Its sound

My heart starts pounding. Fuck. This was bad. I’m F***ing sure that they’ve realized we
have escaped.
“Go, go, go” I insist as I pull Emma forward. She had a look of total fear. Like she had just
seen her life flash before her eyes.
We rush forward blindly. We didn’t know where we were going. All we knew is that we
couldn’t get caught no matter what.
I kept looking behind me. Making sure that Emma wasn’t out of sight. That was a big
F***ing mistake.
Colliding with a b*dy, I stumble, but catch myself before I can fall. Terror squeezes my
heart as I stare at the man that hit me earlier.
Shit! We were royally F***ed.
“Did you honestly think it would be that F***ing easy to escape?” he asks, taking out a
gun and pointing it
at me.
I feel Emma gasp in fear. She was shaking and I could feel her trembling.
“Yes I tell him with a fake bravado.
He walks slowly towards me. His gun still pointed at me.
“I don’t like you smart mouth or your sass. Maybe I should just kill you and save your ex–
husband from having to choose”
I make a split decision. He was close enough and it could work. Using the defense
techniques I was taught in defense class, I quickly knee him in the balls.
He falls down groaning and cussing. Without really thinking I take the gun he had dropped,
remove the
safety lock and fire.
“That’s for hitting me” I shoot his right thigh. “And that is for how much it F***ing hurt” I
then shoot his
other thigh
He hollers in pain. His deep voice travelling through the space. I have never shot anyone,
though I did

“It came from over there”
My satisfaction doesn’t last long when I hear the voice. Still with the gun in hand, I motion
for a shaken Emma to move. We weren’t even that far away when they came across the
shot goon.
“Fucking get them!” he shouts, his voice tinged with pain.
All hell breaks loose as they start to fire. I pull Emma behind a beat up car as bullets fly in
all direction. Fuck. This was bad. This was worse than bad, it was F***ing terrible.
“Fuck it Ava. I shouldn’t have listened to you.” She starts ranting, but I know it’s to cover
her fear, “I swear Ava. If you get me killed, I’ll hunt your sorry ass”
I ignore her and focus. After a few minutes, the shooting stops. My breathing turns to as
normal as it can. get. Standing up, I pull Emma up.
“Let’s go before the find us”
I had only taken a couple of steps when I felt a presence near us.
“Ava!” the scream drives fear inside me.
I’m shoved to the side and fall just as a single shot rings through the entire yard.
