"Dammit can't you move faster? If I know Dave he's not going to wait for us to show up." Zander yells out in frustration.

"We're going as fast as we can. If the cops weren't paid off to not see us we'd have been pulled over a half dozen times for going at such a dangerous speed." They were going at near two hundred miles an hour. Dangerous doesn't begin to cover it.

While the two lieutenants argue the rest check their weapons and prepare for the war they thought they'd get earlier. But now there is a bleak determination that covers them all. Both their boss and Eve are in enemy hands. Well, maybe not their boss, but since he went with the traitor it's more than likely. They just hope that they won't find Reed dead or a traitor as well.

They come to the turn off and Leo slams on the brakes and barely keeps the vehicle from rolling as they take the exit.

He slams on the brakes again as they find Reed out waving his arms to get their attention. "Well at least he's not dead. Now the question is, is he an enemy as well?" Zander murmurs to himself as they pull over to the side of the street close to Reed. The other vehicles follow their example.

The men don't wait and immediately start piling out of the vehicles and putting rifles over their shoulder as they grab some of the other, smaller, weapons about their person.

"Zachary took the boss to a warehouse about two blocks east. He knows that Zachary is the traitor and I fear that he plans on having Zachary take him prisoner to get inside and close to Eve."

Most of the men start cussing, but not Leo. He lets a smile slide onto his face. "That bastard, fucking knows what he's doing, doesn't he?"

"What the hell are you talking about, Leo?" Zander demands, not up for Leo's puzzling speech today.

Leo takes out his laptop and rapidly pulls up information. "Since we were already tracking him and Eve their trackers are able to give us more information. I won't have a complete schematic, but I have enough to be able to find them both."

"Now we just have to get to them before the Italians kill them both." Leo says his face no longer smiling, but set in a cold hard look. Leo is young not yet twenty and he wouldn't be alive if it hadn't been for Dave. As for Eve, well he fell for her the first time he saw her. He knows she is out of his league and never intends to act on it, but she has his loyalty. Even if that means going against Dave.

Leo disappears up the street and the others scramble to follow. The men had placed silencers on their guns but they know that they still need to work fast.

As people see them they run to the nearest shelter and race inside. War has come to their neighborhood and they just hope that they will survive.

And they hope that the Italians don't win.

Especially the females hope this.

"Eve," Zachary whispers tugging her arm. "We have to leave. Hopefully the others will be here by now. Soon this place is going to be a war zone. We have to leave here before that starts. Dave would rather die than you be killed by a bullet."

"You leave if you want, but I'm not leaving Dave. And they stole my ring those bastards. I want it back."

Zachary stops trying to pull her to the exit. They took her engagement ring? They likely think that there's a tracker inside it. There might be, but he's willing to bet that it's not in her ring. But there will be no denying her when she's like this. The only way would be by carrying her and he's not willing to do that.

He doesn't want her to stab him just yet. He needs to get her safe first. Something she's making a thousand times worse for them both.

"There's nothing we can do for him," Zachary hisses out. 

Eve has had enough of his words and pulls her gun out on him and takes the safety off. Zachary stops tugging at her arm and holds his arms up in surrender although he knows that she can't see it.

"Open the fucking door, Zachary." Eve manages to hiss that out in the most intimidating way he's ever heard. He quickly unlocks the door and opens it.

"What is it? I'm busy." The bastard says not even looking at the door to see who is there.

"You need to let him go now, you bastard," Eve sneers.

This gets his attention, "Oh, look the blind whore comes to her fuckers rescue." The Italian mocks her. 

"What are you going to do to me, if I don't? Cry?" The man insolently turns back to beating the man before him.

Eve sends off a shot and hits his arm, although it would have hit his chest if his arm hadn't covered that area just in time. "What the fuck?"

He looks at his arm and then to Zachary in shock and rage. "Why the hell did you shoot me, prick?" He demands of Zachary.

Zachary snorts, "It wasn't me, that was all Eve. She doesn't like you hitting her boyfriend. You might want to let him go now. She might not miss her next shot."

"How the fuck did the blind girl get a gun?" The man says in disbelief making no move to unbind Dave.

"Dave gave it to me and he taught me how to use it too." Eve says deciding to no longer stay silent.

"Oh, and I took Zachary's gun from him when he decided to have some fun with me." Eve decided to let the man know that Zachary wouldn't be any help. "Now it's time for you to divest yourself from your weapons as well."

"Wow such big words from a whore. I had no idea you could say such words." The Italian is doing his best to make Eve irate but it isn't working on her. It is however, working on Dave.

"Shut your fucking mouth, pig. Eve is damn intelligent and has already started college courses."

"Yep, finished my freshman year, I'm now a sophomore." Eve tells him, but she never fully takes her attention off the man that's been her nightmare for the better part of her life.

"Now, takes those bonds off Dave. Slowly, or you might find an extra hole in your body." The man does as he's instructed but scoffs as he does so.

"Don't kill him, Eve. We'll take him back with us." Dave manages to get out. It's been a long time since he's hurt this bad.

"Sorry, Dave, this time I'm going to have to do things my way. We really can't take him with us, he's too much of a danger." Eve says coldly and fires a shot. The Italian is looking at her in shock before falling to the ground.

"What happened?" Dave demands to know, his eyes are swollen shut from the abuse he's taken.

It's Zachary that answers him. It takes him a minute to be able to speak though. "She shot him."

"Okay, you should check to see if he's still alive." Dave manages to wheeze out.

"No chance of that, there's a large new hole in his head just behind his ear."

Silence greets Zachary's words.

Sounds of fighting come to Eve. "The cavalry is here gentlemen."

"Now, please, Eve," Zachary pleads with her.

"I can't, I need your help getting him out of here." Eve says apologetically.

Zachary nods and walks over to the man he betrayed and does his best to help him stand up. "Let's get you to your men. You need medical help."

Eve also walks forward and rifles through the dead man's pockets. She finds what she's looking for.

"Eve? Where are you, Eve?" Dave demands getting worried.

"I'm here, Dave. This bastard just stole something from me and I wanted it back." Eve says slipping the ring back onto her finger. She stands up and helps Dave stand up.

"Help him, Zachary and I'll make it as painless as possible." Eve's voice is cold and hard.

"I understand," Zachary replies and takes the majority of Dave's weight.

"Eve? What the hell are you talking about?" Dave demands swaying back and forth.

"He's going to help me take you to our friends and then I'll give him a rather painless death." Eve replies. "Now hush, I need to hear."

Dave bites back what he wants to say because she can tell if the people coming are friends or enemies. What he doesn't expect is for Zachary to take him forward.

"What the hell? Where are you going Eve, Zachary?" Dave demands.

"I'm trying to get us to our friends if you would shut the fuck up!"Eve hisses angrily at Dave.

That shuts Dave up quickly but Eve can feel the anger radiating off him and just wants to hurry this up. She is still angry with him for leaving without even saying goodbye in the first place.
