Emma's point of view

Wow this is pathetic I thought as I wiped my tears away. We rode in silence for 20 minutes, then the truck stopped in front of what looked like a regular bar in a very run down looking town. As soon as we stopped, Liam came around to me. He grabbed my wrist and rather roughly put on a very bulky bracelet. Leaning in he said,

"This has a built-in tracker and has a needle in it that is dipped in poison in it as well. So don't try anything, oh and also remember that your friend will be in danger if you do anything as well." I nodded. He grabbed my arm, turning he told his men to bring his truck around back, then he dragged me into the restaurant with four of his men, leaving a couple outside. Once inside the bar, the bartender was a middle-aged man with tattoos covering his arms, face, and neck.

"Boss is in the back Rivers" The man said as soon as he saw Liam. He nodded then led the way into the back room. The back room was set up as an office, it had a big burgundy desk with a man sitting on top of it. There was a couch across from the desk, and one along the wall. On both sides of the desk, there were two men covered in tattoos, there were also two men on the outside guarding the door to the office, both sets of men with big guns. The man sitting on the shelf cleared his throat.

"Welcome back to the gangster life Rivers." Liam smirked.

"Lets get down to business." Liam his face now returning to stone. The man at the desk nodded then the man on his left went behind the desk and retrieved some crates. The man looked me up and down and said,

"New payment?" I gulped. He wouldn't sell me, would he? He grabbed my arm and put me behind him.

"Nope she is mine and mine only." He said making my possession to him clear to the man. The man simply nodded.

"As I said on the phone I will get you your payment to you next week, thank you for doing business with us." Liam said turning to walk out, pulling me behind him and out the back door.

We walked through this alley, Liam's truck had been pulled up into it as well as the other vehicles. Liam's guys were loading the crates into his truck. I was startled when Liam cleared his throat, turning to him I realized that he was motioning for me to get in.

Hurriedly, I climbed into the truck shutting the door behind me. I heard him yell at his guys to go pick up the next small purchase. As he walked around I quickly tried to pry the bracelet off my wrist, but it did not budge. I went to work racking my brain on possible escape options, that did not last long as I realized that the same car had been following ever since we left, and we have taken a considerable amount of turns.

"Ummm is that your guys behind us or are we being followed." I asked still looking at the vehicle. Without even looking he said,

"Yep they are following us, some guys are going to come from the house for reinforcement." As he said that, a gunshot rang out hitting the passenger side mirror and shattering it. I screamed and ducked my head between the seat and the dash. Liam swore then reached under his seat and grabbed a gun.

"Grab the gun under your seat and come drive." Liam yells. I grabbed the gun strapped under my seat and grabbed the magazine next to it. Then I put the magazine in the gun and turning the safety off, while moving over to the drivers seat. Once in the drivers seat I rolled down the windows on Liam's side as I realized he had locked it, so I could not escape. Liam leaned out the window and started firing shots. The road was straight for a little bit so I grabbed one of the guns next to Liam and leaned out the window as well and started firing, I hit their windshield and it shattered.

Returning my attention to the road I noticed that they had two cars lined blocking the road, they were standing in front of us with the guns pointing at us. I grabbed the automatic gun, while reaching my foot up and kicking through our windshield, as to get a better shot. I whipped my gun over and shot the one aiming at Liam, then fired some shots at the others. As we got closer I realized that we had to turn around we could not make it we would wreck then be screwed. So I grabbed Liam's waistband and jerked him back inside, while I whipped around.

As we passed the car that had been originally following us, I shot at them a couple of times, hitting one of them in the chest. I then realized that our tire had been shot and our tire pressure was dropping rapidly as we were slowing down. I went as far as I could, then turned to the side, yelled at Liam to get out and run, as I grabbed my gun again.

We jumped out and took off running into the woods surrounding us. As we were running I realized that Liam arm was bleeding, looking back I realized that they were still following us. Turning around, I kept running. I ran until I couldn't anymore and hid behind a tree. Looking back I realized that Liam had fallen, and they had caught up to him. They had all the guns pointed at him while two of the guys were beating him up, from here it looked like he was unconscious, they were going to kill him, I reluctantly grabbed my gun and went to go save him. Ughh I have to go save him before he dies, and then we wouldn't be able to do the plan .

I ran back as quietly as I could towards him, even though they were shouting and hollering, so it would have been hard for them to hear me.

I got up to them, but instead decided to go around and sneak up from behind. Once I had gotten behind them I aimed my gun at them and shouted,

"Put your hands up and don't turn around." They froze for a second then one of them turned around and lunged at me. I jumped back and shot him, and out of the corner I could see Liam badly beat up but still conscious, at least he is not dead.

The other guys had reached for their guns, quickly I shot at each one as quickly as I could, some of them dropped down, some injured others dead. Their eyes got big and the ones who were able too ran away. As they were running away I took the guns away from the guys who were still alive just not able to move. As I grabbed the gun from the last guy who I thought was dead, he opened his eyes and pulled me down and then got on top of holding a knife to my throat. I am going to die.

He was straddling my waist, with my hands pinned above my head with one of his hands, and the other with the knife. I did the only thing I could think of. I put my knees-up, then I started trying to wiggle free, and kick him with my feet, or knee his back. The man just laughed and muttered,

"This is going to be fun!" He moved the tip of the knife to my stomach and started to push it into my skin. I closed my eyes, ready for the pain I was about to feel. All of a sudden a gunshot rang out from not far away.

As he fell on top of me I saw out of the corner of my eyes, that Liam had moved and had shot the man. I was suddenly aware of more people with guns running over to us. I pushed the now dead body off me as fast as I could. As soon as I got him off me I grabbed my gun and pointed it at the guys running towards us.

"Stop or I will kill you." I shouted, while letting out a warning shot in the air.

"Emma is that you?" Someone shouted at me from the group.

"Yes, what do you want with us" I replied taking a step over towards Liam.

"Emma it is me, Jason. Put the gun down, we are here to help you and Liam. Are you guys hurt?" He said his voice filled with concern. I lowered my gun and threw it on the ground in front of me. Jason nodded, and then his men came rushing over to me and Liam. I went over to Liam and started to take my shirt off, then I ripped it and tied it around his shot arm. Then Liam's guys came and took over, getting ready to carry him to the vehicles. One of the guys grabbed his arms while the other took his legs. They picked him up and started carrying him to the one the trucks, with me following right next to them.

When they had made it to the truck they placed Liam in the back, and I went in the back as well. Jason climbed into the drivers seat. Liam was still awake, obviously in pain. I took my ripped in half shirt off of his arm and rolled up his sleeve to assess the damage of the bullet. Luckily he was just nicked, I had noticed the flask in his back pocket earlier, so I grabbed it and poured some on my ripped shirt and then dabbed it on his nicked arm. He winced from the pain as I cleaned his arm, then I wetted it again then moved on to his face which had some cuts on it from being pistol whipped and punched, they were minor and not to deep, but still looked painful and nasty.

I put my hand under the seat and searched around for a knife, I unstrapped it from under the seat, then I grabbed the hem of his shirt by his neck, and moved the knife so it was right next to my hand. Liam eyeballed me as if to figure out if I was going to slit his throat. In one swift motion I cut down the middle of his T-shirt, so he did not have to move to take it off, as it would be painful. He already had bruises forming on his abdomen. I grabbed the medical kit next to me and took out the bandages. Carefully, I cleaned and bandaged his arm then moved to his abdomen. I tapped his ribs and noting seemed broken.

"Nothing is broken just bruised, you will be fine in a few days." I said turning to face Liam. He looked out the window then said,

"Why did you come back to help me?" His voice sounding genuinely confused.

"I helped you because I am not an inconsiderate Jerk. Unlike some people in this truck." I said disdain evident in my voice.

"Thank you" He said so quietly before going into unconsciousness, because of the pain.
