Chereads / Murder At Dark / Chapter 18 - THE THREAT

Chapter 18 - THE THREAT

The doctor took a last look at the surgery she had just performed, cleaning off the surface again with spirit soaked wool before covering it with plaster.

The surgery had taken close to twenty minutes to extract the bullet that lodged in Bills stomach. Cash and Bolt had made sure that the doctor did not lack any assistance in discharging her medical expertise on the dying man.

"He needs plenty of rest to fully recover, the job is as good as it can be. He will live." The doctor said as she handed Jennie her nurse, all the used materials to dispose off.

"Thank you but we have to be on our way." Cash said and pulled his gun to shoot the doctor.

***************

During the surgery Jennie had anticipated that her life and that of the doctor was in danger and she had been observing the other man who wasn't talking at all (Bolt). He had dropped his gun on the table while they all struggled to stop the bleeding and regulate the patients vitals.

She picked up the gun and hid behind some products displayed on two shelves before the surgical section. On her way back from disposing the used face mask and hand gloves among other disposable item she saw the man in charge(Cash) pointing his gun at the doctor she silently went back to where she hid the gun and recovered it.

***************

"Please, don't kill me." The doctor begged Cash as she squatted on the floor next to the surgical bed.

"I appreciate your effort in fixing my cousin, but i wont have you talking to the cops." Cash tried to justify what he was about to do. "Bolt, get Bill to the car."

Bolt walked passed the doctor and lifted Bill from the surgical bed, he walked passed Cash trying to make his way towards the entrance of the pharmacy.

"Stop right there!" Jennie said standing with Bolts gun in her hands blocking of the way out of the pharmacy.

Cash turned to look at the commotion happening behind him. He saw the nurse holding up a pistol against Bolt and Bill.

"Is that your piece, Bolt?" Cash asked.

"Yes, i must have dropped it during the surgery" Bolt replied.

"Young lady," Cash called from beside where the doctor squatted in fear. "We don't want to hurt anyone, just put the gun down and nobody will get hurt." Cash said still pointing his gun at the doctor.

"You just threatened her, now you lie about not intending to hurt us, leave or i will shoot your cousin" Jennie told Cash.

Cash smiled and turned to face towards the armed but scared girl. "Are you sure you can use that weapon?" Cash said and started to walk towards Bolt and Bill.

All this time Bill has been unconscious, the nurse had pumped him up with antibiotics and he was still drowsy from its effect. His bulkiness was weighing on Bolt, the more reason he couldn't do anything about the nurse despite the fact that she was right in front of him.

"I would want to try it, all i ask is that you get the hell out of this pharmacy" Jennie said, stepping backwards to create more space for them to pass.

Cash got to where Bolt and Bill stood, he tried to side step Bill but Jennie stopped him.

"You, drop that gun and take your friends out of this place." The nurse said. At this point the doctor was on her feet and still in shock as she watched the back and forth between her staff and the strangers.

Cash ignored Jennie and took one more step forward.

"One more step and i will pull the trigger!" Jennie screamed at Cash.

Cash paused for a moment and smiled. "Do you know who you have a gun against?" Cash said turning to look at the doctor. I could make you disappear if i want to", Cash was saying as he internationally took another step.

A large sound enveloped the entire pharmacy, Cash's eyes wide open showed his surprise that the young girl called his bluff. Blood began to drip on the floor and Bill became heavier.

"What have you done, you bitch! " Cash screamed as he reached for Bill who was now gradually laid down by Bolt.

The doctor rushed towards them trying to do whatever she could but as soon as she felt Bills pulse, she knew he had died.

Jennie was shocked but she didn't drop the gun she still held it up, this time it was pointed at Cash.

"I am going to kill you slowly, i will tear u apart each day till there is nothing more to tear!" Cash threatened as he stood up but couldn't do anything stupid, he was sure this time that the girl would pull the trigger again.

The sound of police siren was heard from afar and Bolt grabbed Cash's hand. "Boss lets break, the cops are here"

Cash looked at the body of his cousin on the ground, he use his free hand to touch his head and looked up at Jennie again.

"I will find you bitch" Cash told the nurse. But she just stood there covering Cash with Bolts pistol.

Both Cash and Bolt ran out of the Pharmacy and zoomed off in the car they ha jacked in front of T. W. Dockyard.

A few minutes later the pharmacy was crawling with cops and reporters.

"I can't believe we are doing this" Sera said laying on Jason's chest and stroking his hairy chest.

"I am glad we are" Jason replied "it feels so right and nothing will take this away." Concludes and kissed her fore head.

"I liked you from the first i saw you but i didn't expect it to happen this fast." Sera said.

"Fast or not we deserve to be happy and lost in whom we love, if it happened now or later it wouldn't have changed anything."Jason said as he stroked the back of Sera's neck.

Sera placed one finger across Jason's lips and raised her head to kiss him gently on his lips.

They both laid in each others arms and the only sound that was audible in the room was the sound of their breathing. Jason's phone began to ring and he reached for it only to press the silent button nobody would distract him from this moment, he thought.

****************

Fin was already fatigued but he could not shake the pharmacy case off because from what he has gathered it was definitely the doing of Cash and his gang. He had questioned the nurse and the doctor and the doctor even provided the bullet she extracted from the dead man, it was definitely the same bullets fired from the SWAT assault riffles over at T W Dockyard.

He had been trying to reach Jason but he wasn't taking his calls, maybe he was fast asleep with the whole pain he must have endured from getting hit, Fin thought.

The cop's went about their business as Fin looked the dead guy on the ground. This would be the morning breaking news in a few hour's, the press where already on ground to cover the scene and ask questions. Fin walked over to where Jennie sat covered in a blanket.

"Are you okay Miss." Fin asked.

"I am fine, thanks. Can i go home now?" Jennie asked.

"Yes you can, but i will assign some cops to accompany you, Cash makes sure to carry out threats, but don't you worry my boys will keep you safe till all this is over." Fin assured her.

"Thank you." Jennie replied as she got up to leave. It was 3am already and the whole area was already coming alive because of the

Crime scene.

**************

Daniel had speed away from his neighborhood trying to put a distance between him and the car following him, but car didn't try to get too close or too faraway, the drive just maintained same distance but it was obvious to Daniel that he was being followed by the red mustang.

He kept his legs on the gas pedals as he keep firing away and making sure he wasn't driving recklessly. He raise die in the hands of one of Tampa's most dangerous man, he wont die of reckless driving, he thought to himself.

It was almost 3am and Daniel began to relax his nerves. He was 3 kilometers from the border id Tampa and the car that been following him was not in view in the last twenty minutes.

Daniel stretched his hand to the back seat and grabbed the milk, he uncovered it and gulped a few. As he was trying to screw the cork back, it slipped and fell close to his legs.

"Fulk!" Daniel said angrily. He bent down to pick the cover, while also being careful not to run off the high way. His fingers felt the cover but then it slipped again.

"Fulk!" Daniel screamed hitting his hands on the starring wheel. He bent over once again determined to reach the cover on the floor of the car.

A car suddenly pulled up beside him and he raised his head up to avoid colliding with it. To his surprise it was the same red mustang that had been following him. Fear gripped him as he threw the keg of milk on the passengers seat and stepped on the gas pedal and his engine roared angrily as his car sprang forward, he gripped the wheel so tight his knuckles turned white. The red mustang fell behind again and Daniel was relived a little, why are they threatening him, Don had let him go he thought. Maybe they are just fouling around and scaring the little mice, Daniel said.

He look in the rare mirror again and saw that the mustang had gained speed and was coming at him with full speed. He kept speeding up but it didn't measure up with the mustang that soon crashed into him from the back, making his car loose a little control. Daniel struggled to keep his car on the road as the hit jagged him about on the high way.

Just when he thought he had regained control of his car, the mustang came up beside him and slammed into him from the drivers side, the force was to much for frightened Daniel to control and his car ran off the road and rolled down the cliff tumbling as it went down. Glasses flew everywhere as the car scattered and came to a stop.

Milk dripped from the car amidst smoke that came from the engine.

**************

Two men got off the red mustang and came to the edge of the cliff to watch the car rolling to a stop.

The fat one got his phone out of his pocket and dialled a number.

Shouldn't we be down there making sure he is dead?" the thin one asked.

"But he is dead alright, nobody can survive that accident, just look at the car." The fat one replied.

He held the phone to his ears and waited.

"Boss, it's done." The fat guy spoke into the phone. And the line dropped.
