Things Take A Different Turn
Fred
I got a call that the police were few metres away from the building where we were. I sighed and walked back to the room. There I saw that boss of theirs choking the lousy guy by the wall. Mari was sitting on the floor and gripping unto her arm. I ran inside and held her
“Mari! Mari are you okay? Did they hit you?” I asked and she looked so surprised to see me
“Fred?” she asked and I hugged her immediately
“I'm sorry. I'm so sorry” I said and the next thing we heard was a gunshot. She screamed and we looked at Derulo who slumped to the floor with blood gushing out of his neck.
I looked up at Caleb and the other guy and there were looking surprised to. The gun was in the other guy's hand
Wilbur
I immediately recognized that guy when Mari called his name. That was the Fred Buenos. I felt a sting of jealousy when he hugged her. I looked at where Eduardo was choking the other guy and sighed. Why wasn't Coloy or the others doing anything?
Suddenly Eduardo got kicked in between his legs and he groaned and left the guy. The guy proceeded to punch him in the stomach and Eduardo tried to grip unto his hand but the guy was swift enough to dodge Eduardo. One thing led to another and they began to through blows and kicks and all of a sudden Eduardo brought out a gun to shoot the guy. He froze and just as Eduardo was about to pull the trigger, the guy immediately kicked his hand and the bullet met Derulo on his neck. He fell down immediately and started jerking for life
“Derulo! Derulo!” both Maxwell and Coloy called as they bent down beside him. Derulo stopped jerking and just laid lifeless with his eyes opened. Coloy gritted his teeth and looked up at Eduardo. He stood up slowly and walked to him
“what did you just do?” he asked coldly. The other guy stared at the both of them and ran out of the room. Maxwell ran after him.
Coloy brought out another gun and Mari gasped. I couldn't move anymore. All my energy had faded off and I was struggling to keep my eyes open. After I had fallen, all my aches resumed duty.
“it's his fault. Why was he standing in the way?” Eduardo said and wondered what type of fool he had suddenly become.
“you killed him” Coloy said calmly as if he wasn't angry. But since I know Coloy well, I also know Eduardo is dead meat.
Eduardo chuckled softly and turned to Mari.
“you... Come with me” he said and pulled her up
“no please. Let me go! Let me go” she cried. Coloy's eyes were turning red. He looked at Eduardo and pointed his gun at him as he took Mari away.
“if you think you're not gonna loose at all in this, you're wrong! We're all gonna loose” he said and turned the gun to Mari. Eduardo didn't know as he was pulling her neither did she. I was afraid Coloy would want to kill her because he never forgives and since the only person important to him at the moment was Mari, he'll want to take her life and have Eduardo feel the anger he was feeling because of Derulo's death.
Just as Coloy pulled the trigger, Fred ran up and pulled Mari away from Eduardo. Eduardo shifted to the position of Mari because of the pull and the bullet met his neck too. I sighed in relief that Mari wasn't hurt.
“damn!” Coloy groaned and glared at Fred
“please, don't hurt her. Please” he begged. Coloy looked at me then at Derulo
“I said I'll do as you asked. I'll be... I'll be your boyfriend again. Just don't hurt Mari, I'm begging you” I pleaded and I saw Mari's tears dropping as she stared at me.
Coloy walked to me and pulled me up, he began to help me walk towards the door then suddenly stopped. He turned around and fired two shots at Fred. Mari screamed and began to cry, clutching unto Fred's body and dropped the gun on the floor.
He stepped out of the door with me when we heard 'freeze'. The police pointed numerous guns at us. Coloy left me and I fell again. He lifted his hands and one of the police men handcuffed him.
Mari
The bullet had met Fred on his shoulder and lower abdomen. That wasn't enough to kill him right? It didn't hit any vital organ right?
“Fred please you can't die! Fred” I cried and lifted his head up
“I won't die Mari. Not when I'm in love with you” he said in a very low voice I doubt if anyone else heard
“what?” I asked and he closed his eyes and didn't answer anymore. I thought he had died but he still had a pulse. The police moved in and helped me up. There was a bodybag in the room, there opened it and brought out Eliza. I screamed but the police man quickly shouted that she was alive.
