Chapter 6 - Three months later

Brian POV:

My vision was blurry, and my head was spinning, I could hear Woody's voice telling me to calm down. I don't know what I'm doing, I don't know where I am, I can hear myself shouting but I'm not thinking about what I'm saying. I'm just saying it. My vision clears slightly, but my head still hurts, I make out three people standing in front of me, guns pointed. Chris takes out his gun and I realise that mine is already in my hand. I don't remember, how did... wait. I was out with Chris and Woody. Drinking. I drank too much and went out to smoke. I saw Sebastian, an old... friend, sort of? He came over.

"Hey! It's been a while, eh?" Seb laughed, "Uh, yea, I guess" I replied, this is uncomfortable, I want to leave. We stood in silence for a minute, and it started to rain. "So, where have you been working since you left?" he asked. I didn't know what to say, I couldn't tell him, Boss would kill me! "I work for a train company" I blurted, well it was partly true, I went with Miss Ash to her train company while her bodyguard was sick, not that she really needed one. "Thats kinda cool, I left the company a little while after you, I work with deliveries now" he told me proudly. "Isn't delivery kind of a downgrade?" I asked, "Well it's a bit different, I'm in charge of making sure the deliveries arrive safely to the right location. The things we sell are quite valuable you see." Seb smiled.

Someone came up behind Seb, he had a murderous look on his face, and a gun pointed at my head. " ¡¿Qué coño le dijiste?!(what the fuck did you tell him?!)" He shouted; Seb looked surprised, and I could swear I saw a hint of fear in his eyes. "Nada Diego (Nothing Diego)" he replied quickly, I stood there with a confused look on my face, "Seb, what's going on?" I asked, I was about to take out my gun when I saw Woody was walking towards us, with his gun aimed at Diego and Chris behind him. Seb spotted them and pointed one at Chris, I hadn't noticed a third person who was with Diego who just stood there, watching.

"Who are you!" Diego shouted at us, as I grabbed my gun, accidentally revealing the tattoo on my waist. "Put your gun down!" I shouted back, "you're..." Seb looked shocked, but the fact he recognised my tattoo meant he was also in some sort of organised crime, Chris held up his gun, before I could say anything, the man behind Diego lunged towards him with a knife and stabbed him, making him grip is gun tighter. The shock of the sudden attack was so great that I hadn't heard the gunshot, and I watched Diego fall to the floor with a bullet hole in his chest. I could hear sirens coming towards us. SHIT. Woody pushed the guy off of Chris and helped him off the floor. The knife had only just caught him, so the cut wasn't too deep, but he lost a lot of blood. We ran as quick as we could towards an alley to escape the approaching sirens, when we heard a second gunshot and a thud from behind us. I turned and saw Seb with eyes full of angry tears and smoke coming from his gun, I saw a tattoo on his neck that I hadn't noticed before. Cuban Cartel. Chris was lying on the pavement in a pool of blood, the rain taking it down the drain. He wasn't breathing.

Police cars sped down the road and we ran; we couldn't even take Chris with us. The Boss will be furious! Chris was his brother-in-law!
