"What are you waiting for....shoot the bastard"
"We can't Miss Pueterico. Your life is more precious. We shoot him and end up loosing you "
"I don't give a ...."
"These men know better Sophia. Remember your life is too precious" He said mockingly "You're just my Ticket outta here"
He points the gun at them and then back at her. "Nobody moves and nobody gets hurt. Understand ?"
Sophia was still struggling in his grip. She stopped when Adrian waved the remote at her face.
"Good to know how well we've cooperated so far" He started pulling Sophia out of the room. The police men just stared after her looking helpless and angry.
When they got outside, Adrian pushed her into the car.
"Don't move."He said darkly
As he made his way to the other side of his car, Sophia shot out of the car like a missile and started running towards the Cops. Suddenly she heard a loud bang behind her. The cops were looking at her like she had done something wrong. She couldn't understand what was happening, she felt a sharp pain up her leg and suddenly, she fell on her face on the floor. She looked at her leg and at Adrian who was coming towards her. Adrian had really shot her!!! Her left ankle was badly wounded now. She screamed. She had never gotten hurt like this. It was so painful. So scary watching her own blood pour out of her body. She suddenly started to feel dizzy.
Adrian still had the gun aimed at her. He knelt down on one knee and she came face to face with her enemy. He looked at her leg like it was a boring insect and looked at her. "I was aiming for your head"She stared daggers at him.
"Next time I won't miss my aim. That's a promise" He said darkly.
