(IVANNA)
Nikolai jerks me closer and begins to move backwards. "I haven't lost a thing. I still have your shlyuhka, and I will kill her.
Sergio prowls forward, his gun remaining on Nikolai. "You're gonna die either way."
"Put down the gun or I'll shoot her. Right fucking now." Nikolai says, shaking me while his hand comes right round my throat. I gasp.,
Something flashes on Sergio's face at the sound, but he keeps his gun trained on Nikolai. "I don't think so. And, you're going to let go of her now."
"Wrong. I'm going to keep her. Matter of fact, I'll kill you and make her watch while I do it."
"Maksim!" Sergio shouts, and his voice echoes in the large space.
