Relief and fear
I canât bear to look at her.
The bastard was on top of her, and it froze me for a split second. If I had taken the shot right away, he wouldnât have used her as a shield. I dare not look at her; I might miss again.
The target: he is the only thing that exists. Eyes locked on eyes.
He removes the gun from her and levels it at me. I couldnât care less. Itâs probably for the best. Iâm not going to die until Iâve ripped his heart and dick out, anyway. He fires, but it took him too long, and his aim was off. I twist my torso, and the bullet hits my left arm. I feel nothing more than a buzzing in my head and the fire in my veins.
He was between her legs.
I reposition my aim: straight for his forehead. Just that spot, nothing else, as my old man taught me. âI came to get my woman back.â
âYours?â Apparently, Blackie was clever and didnât disclose anything about us, perhaps because of the âusâ I had denied.
He moves closer to her ear, never taking his eyes off me, with her back turned to him at gunpoint. âThatâs what you meant earlier.â
âLast warning: let her go.â
He licks her, and I feel the urge to tear his tongue out too.
âDie, bitch.â
I hold my breath and pull the trigger. âWrong, asshole.â
He rolls his eyes, a gaping hole in his head as he staggers and collapses backward. Blackieâs shadow vanishes, she crumples to the ground.
I donât need to look at her, not yet.
But my heart has decided to stop obeying my brainâs orders, racing uncontrollably. A few steps, and Iâm standing before the bastard. Two shots, right between his legs. One to the heart. I would have preferred to do it while he was still alive.
Fuck!
I turn around to find Blackieâs eyes burning into my back. I check the men: weâre all still here. I meet Baneâs gaze, and he responds with a nod of approval.
Now. Yes, now I can.
I holster the Glock and take a deep breath. Iâm afraid to look at her, the same fear I had the last time I entered Lilyâs room in the hospital. But Blackie is alive, and whatever happened, sheâll get through it. She can, sheâs my panther.
I turn and look down. Sheâs on her knees, hands on the floor, her face turned toward me. I lose myself in her glossy, smudged eyes. I reach out a hand, but stop short before I touch her, just in front of the bruise on her face and the blood.
Sheâs the one who brings my palm to her cheek, her hand feeling so cold. Her wrists are bound. Without a second thought, I grab the knife and cut the rope, perhaps more to vent my frustration. She closes her eyes, and tears slide silently down her skin.
Fuck my life! I did it wrong again, itâs the same knife he used to hurt her. Iâm an idiot, but what other choice did I have? We all have our Ka-Bar here.
