The Gun In My Hand's

Chapters 20. I Put You First And ...

Country Road, Westminster (Greater London), UK – 10.04 pm.

I am so glad I managed to say it. Shit, I'm like a totally love-drunk teenager.

Embarrassing.

I said that ludicrous thing because I didn't want to lose him. Yeah, it's a lot better. It's just so incredible.

And here we are now, in my car in an awkward state because each chose to be quiet. I tried to glance beside me and see the face of Elisha who never stopped blushing since we got down from the capsule of the London Eye.

I smiled imagining we were now really lovers.

I opened the first conversation, "Elisa. Speak."

He was a little silent for a long time by lowering his face before responding to my words, "I. I'm so happy."

Shit, now I'm the one who's so embarrassed because he said what he felt. I covered my mouth with the back of my hand because I couldn't help but smile like a madman right now.

I can't hold this off much longer.

"Ah, fuck!"

I stopped my car haphazardly on the side of the road. Elisha seemed a bit surprised by my actions, but it didn't last long because I quickly kissed him.

I kissed her rancid lips that had become my candlestick. Elisha returned my kiss, he even held the side of my face very gently.

We were lulled into the kiss, ignoring the occasional horn that rang from an emotional rider. I don't give a shit.

Even in the middle of the city, I will continue to act like a bastard because I am his lover.

She's my lady.

It made me even more frustrated when Elisha's sigh got stuck in our kiss because I put my hand in his loose t-shirt. Elisha flinched, immediately making our kiss stop because I just slipped my hand behind his bra.

He held my hand that was still in his shirt. He adjusted his breath while sticking his forehead to my forehead.

Our eyes meet. He was panting and looked very seductive at the moment. I'd love to eat it if my mind was out of its mind.

"Leon .. we're on the street."

That's all he can say to get me more in control. I kissed her lips for a moment before tidying her clothes back up.

I hugged her very tightly while pecking her head and sitting back to her original position.

"I'm sorry, we're home. It's already night."

I found it very difficult to control myself along the way. My head is still very throbbing holding all this up. I also saw Elisha who seemed to be still wandering with the same mind not because of me.

...***...

A few minutes later ...

I smiled at Elisha who was asleep. Since coming out of the urban area, he was indeed sleepy.

Yeah, even though it's really hard for me when my body with one hand is still driving. It would be better when he sleeps in the back passenger seat, but this is already done, he is very slumbering in his sleep.

I recall the message Dereck sent today. The message forced Zach to send Elisha home immediately to ensure his safety.

I thought I had a little more time with Elisha, and it turned out that we would be separated as soon as we became lovers.

I have to stop being selfish because Elisha's name has been included in the list of targets of major mafia syndicates. They wanted a blueprint of a sophisticated weapons building system owned by the United Kingdom, and unfortunately it was stored in one of the vaults managed by the Armstrong company. Shit, this has become an international issue.

My mind was distracted because back there was a fucking rat that was following me. It was one of them, Dereck had cleared up most of it and unfortunately there was still something left behind there. I shook Elisha's shoulder to wake him up.

"Hey, Elisha get up!"

He slowly regained consciousness from his sleep and rubbed his eyes.

"We've arrived?"

He observed the surrounding area and realized we were no longer on urban roads, but in a forest area that was quiet for riders.

"Where are we?"

"Elisa, listen to me. This might surprise you. But we don't have much time, you see back there's someone following us—"

He glanced at the rearview mirror of the car and was a bit shocked because there was indeed one car following.

"Leon, maybe it's just a regular rider."

"No. They've been following us out of the London Eye. It's been over an hour and I'm sure that's why Zach told you to come home. They're after you."

Elisha clasped my free wrist. He's shaking.

"Don't panic, you're with me. We're in a protected forest area. In a moment we will enter through the forest and finish this immediately. You move to the back and open the box under the seat back there."

Elisha painstakingly followed my instructions. He had already managed to sit in the back seat and open the long box underneath.

He was a little shocked when he found my Barret there. This is the second time he's been shocked to see this shotgun of mine.

"Hold that for a minute."

After saying so, at high speed I brought my car into the forest area from a very sharp bend along with turning off my car lights.

I put my car deep into the woods and hid it in the bushes. I turned off the car engine quickly and took out my Barret that Elisa had previously held.

"Elisa, cover your ears with this."

I gave the ear plugs to him before positioning my Barret in the car window where Elisa's side was sitting before. I opened my jeans because it was so annoying.

I saw four people get out of the car. They were all armed and seemed to be at a loss for our tracks.

Damn, they split up. Two people approached our driveway earlier and seemed to be about to find a trace of my car tire.

Two other people were waiting around the car while observing the surroundings. I vaguely heard the two men had managed to find my car's wheel tracks, "Hey, come here! They're in there!"

Shit, caught.

I backed up my Barret before actually throwing two bullets at those two nearby people. The sound of gunfire boomed until I was a little backwards jerked and the glass part of my car was broken. Two men managed to eat my Barret's bullet.

I'm not sure if those two guys aren't taken care of by their friends, maybe the cops will find two bodies with horribly disintegrated faces. Even at night, I can still see accurately with the help of moonlight.

I glanced at Elisha who was trembling closing his mouth. Shit, he shouldn't have forced himself to look at this. I lost two others. They have entered the forest and are hunting us.

"Elisa duck, I'll come out."

She clasped my hand very tightly with a tweet, "Leon, don't leave me. I'm scared."

I kissed his head, "Hey, you're gonna be fine. I'm not leaving you. I'm going out to see where they are. It's going to be very difficult inside here, and sooner or later we're going to get caught by silence. Never turn on your phone screen. That's very dangerous."

She was like she was going to cry when I left her out. I need to focus on finding those two human shadows.

I crouched down in front of my car and looked around. I heard a step approaching. Small-time. Looks like one guy.

I approached the direction of the sound source after thoroughly inspecting the surroundings of my car safely no one approached. I hid behind one of the trees and targeted one person who was shaking alone.

Got you!

I did not hesitate to aim at the person right in front of his eyes. This will be your nightmare. As close as I was aiming, his blood even hit my shirt.

Ah, goddamn.

However, the next thing that made me panic was the sound of Elisha screaming. Shit, shit, shit. I ran towards my car and found Elisha being held captive with his head held in a gun.

The cry of Elisha filled the forest. He was very frightened and trembling at this moment.

"I didn't expect to find you this easy."

The bastard began to open his voice. He seems very satisfied. You think I'll let you breathe a sigh of relief after this?

I was still watching Elisha. That man wouldn't have killed Elisha, they would have only taken him hostage at this time.

"Put down your gun, asshole! Don't you know where you're in position right now?!" I ignored him in silence.

"You want this woman to die quickly?" He laughed after saying it.

"Do it if you want to."

"Damn, you think I can't do it?!"

The person immediately pulled out the contents of his gun into the sky. You think I'd be scared just by that bluff?

If I shoot him right now, it'll be very risky. He made Elisha his shield. My barret also does not allow it to be used and it is very difficult to adjust its position quickly if the person moves to change his position.

I decided to throw my Barrett to the ground. Nor would he be able to use that Barret properly if he wanted to snatch it.

"What if we bet on that woman? I'm not gonna use my gun. Yeah, although I'm nothing without that weapon, but I have a little martial arts."

I tried to negotiate with him. The person grinned clearly as his face was exposed to the moonlight. However, the next thing that made my blood boil even more was her treatment of Elisha, disgusting.

My hands clenched very tightly when I saw him licking the side of Elisha's face. Elisha's cry grew even more miserable when the bastard did it.

I felt all the turmoil of my emotions thrashing to hit this fucking face.

"How important is this woman to you? And you could have left it without having to bother like this. How sad. But—"

He paused his sentence and grabbed Elisha by the hair, causing Elisha to squeal in his tears.

"—It's an honor to accept your challenge. I heard you're Parker's mad dog. Parker was very careful in his gray zone and no one dared to touch him for having such a creepy pet."

  

He threw Elisha to the ground. Elisha was still crying and shaking, he could no longer have the strength to walk. The only thing I can do is kill this guy.

He threw his gun close to my Barret. Idiotically. He didn't know it was the only thing that could sustain his life.

He pulled something out from behind his back and it was a knife. He approached me slowly and pointed the knife carelessly slashing through the air.

I shook my neck before advancing. Ah, this has been a long time. My neck sounds perfect.

I don't have to act like a careful person because Elisha is like that. I immediately advanced without thinking and raised my feet high kicking this damn face.

Look, he's a daze and I won't let him have time to think again. I instantly rewinded the body while he still had the strength to move his knife towards me.

He's not an expert.

How humiliating.

Once again I approached and hit him in the face with my elbow and ended up kicking his chest. He was hit very hard.

That opportunity I used to direct his hand, each holding a knife to stab himself in a lying position. Shit, the blood is back on my shirt and my face.

Elisha shouted very loudly seeing all of that. He was shaking more than before. I'm sorry, you have to look at me like this.

Emotions still surround me when this pierced bastard can still laugh.

I immediately got up from my position and took the gun lying not far away and fired all the bullets to his face.

This body does not even have a full face. I spit on him because I'm so sick of this guy.

I immediately carried Elisha who was still shaking and kissed his head. He gripped my shirt very strongly. I took her sitting on my lap to calm her down.

"Elisa, you're okay now. Calm down, we're going home today to Zach's palace. There's nothing else you need to worry about."

"You—" His voice vibrated.

"—How can it be that easy? They ... they're dead."

"I know ... I'm sorry if you have to see all this. I'm sorry."

...***...

One hours later ...

Parker's Palace, Waltham Forest (Greater London), UK – 11.58 pm.

We've reached Zach's residence, but I still haven't come in because I'm waiting for the security guard to report to Zach.

While waiting, my head was dizzy from the smell of blood attached to my shirt. I finally opened my t-shirt and still waited at this high gate.

Shortly after, there was a scream from inside the gate, someone ran up to my car.

"Leon! Leon, are you okay? What about Elisha?"

That's Dereck. He looks panicked. He even sweats.

"Elisa's asleep. He seemed very surprised."

"Go in my car. I'll take you to the East Missions. Zach's been waiting for you."

I quickly got out of my car and took Elisa with me to Dereck's car. The car was moving very slowly and Dereck had no intention of asking further. He threw wet wipes at me.

"The side of your face and hands are full of splashes of blood."

"That's what made me take off the shirt. Shit, my head is dizzy from this blood."

When I got to the East Mension, Zach greeted me in the living room. He just sat quietly when he saw me bringing Elisha into one of the rooms. I told the maid to clean her body because there was a bit of blood from my touch.

I approached Zach and ... Mr Armstrong? He's coming here tonight. She must have panicked with her son, but she was very good at hiding her panic.

"Where?" The first question Zach.

"In the protected forest area of the outer border of South Greenwich. One car with four people. All dead."

Zach and Mr. Armstrong immediately stomped each other's heads. I continued my explanation.

"Elisa's a little panicked to see me kill them. He was caught but no one was hurt. No important information whatever they give, clean just to hold Elisha and like— hostage"

"Thank you."

That's what Mr. Armstrong said. The panic was just seen. He is like a man who will be destroyed if left behind the person he loves the most.

I just lowered my head and poked at my palm. The first time I actually got a sincere thank you from someone.

"Let's stay here longer until Elisha's better."

I glanced at Zach who suddenly gave me unusual words.

"I can't. I have to get to Las Vegas."

I stared at Zach. Zach would not dare to comment on all this because he also never took a really appropriate intelligence to protect his position.

I knew, from the beginning he would hold me back from keeping Elisha because the enemy had already started to move. I couldn't keep quiet when I saw so many people hunting Elisha.

Like the bastard I killed before, Zach won't get his hands dirty because he always wants to be in the gray zone. Then the only path is just me. I will do anything to protect Elisha.

"Is there anything you need so I can get all this back?"

Mr. Armstrong asked me a question that really tormented me. With a rude sigh, I replied, "Not for me, but for Elisha. I want him protected by agents, not regular bodyguards."

"Sure, I'll do it."

I smiled at him before leaving them to return to the room where Elisha was. He's still unconscious.

I checked the phone on the table. He used both of us as his cell phone wallpaper. I approached him who was still unconscious and kissed his forehead.

"I'll be right back."
