Tyler's POV

We froze.

King was pointing a gun at us and knowing him, any wrong move he would pull the trigger. I stood, trembling in so much fear. The voice came from the mega phone again, warning the captors to surrender. King was angry, it was obvious with all the veins popping out of his head. I gently pushed Tiana to stay behind me, though I  was equally as scared as she was.

We are in a load of deep shit!

"You called them, didn't you?" King asked me.

"Tyler..." Tiana whimpered, holding unto my arm.

"Shh...it's going to be okay." I told her, not breaking eye contact with King.

"I fucking asked you a question!" King snapped and Tiana trembled behind me.

"I didn't call them there, I swear. I came here alone." My hands were raised in surrender, looking from the gun pointed to us to King's face.

"Then how did they get here?" He asked through gritted teeth. I sighed. I knew how they got here. My friends made that happen.

"I don't know. Please drop the gun before you do something you'll regret. Just put the gun down." I told him, trying my best to reason with him. Suddenly he pulled the trigger to the bulb on the roof and blew it up. Tiana's scream filled the room.

"Trust me, I won't regret killing you." King growled out. He looked at his goons. "Hold her, I'll hold him. We are going to have a little chat with the police." He smirked and came behind me, pressing the gun against my rib cage. "One funny business and I'll pull the trigger." He whispered to me and I nodded. I stole a glance at Tiana and she was struggling with the goons who tried to hold her still. They began to drag us outside.

****

We reached the front of the house and met face to face with the police, my dad and my friends. Guns were pointed at King and his men but they couldn't pull the trigger because they had leverage. Us.

"Stand down, Mister." The police man standing with the megaphone said.

"Well well well, look who we have here. The police." King snickered.

"Let the hostages go." The police said again, I rolled my eyes. Nigerian Police sef. The guy isn't even saying it with authority. It's like he's even scared m, he wants to pee in his pants.

"Chill na. You and I know that one wrong move from any of you, I won't hesitate to pull the trigger." King told them. My dad spoke.

"Please, he is my son, the only one I have. Let him go. Let them go." My dad pleaded. I could see tears in his eyes and I was both pained and angry.

"Shut up grandpa! You should have taught your son to mind his business. Too bad for him now." King chuckled.

"Hey, don't speak to my dad like that." I snapped at King and he pressed the gun further into my ribcage.

"You have forgotten who is with the gun. This is the last warning for you. One more word for you and I'll pull the trigger. I'm not bluffing." King said through gritted teeth. Ciara came out from the car, surprising both Tiana and King. I on the other hand was scared to shits for her. She shouldn't have come. King would definitely kill her.

"King, please give it up. The jig is up. Back off." Ciara somewhat pleaded.

"Ciara..." Tiana whispered.

"Hey little sis." Ciara smiled at her.

"Wow!! What a nice family reunion." King said sarcastically. His face contoured in anger as he looked at Ciara. "I knew you would betray me bitch!" He growled.

"I made a mistake. Letting you back into my sister's life and I'm ready to right it ." Ciara said.

"Such inspirational words." King let go off my hand and began to clap, which I didn't notice at first. I saw Joel giving me a signal and I realized. His hands are off!

Jack pot!!

I swiftly turned and knocked the gun off his hand and kicked him in the nut and elbowed his forehead. Everything turned chaotic. I heard gun shorts and screams all around. I looked to see that Tiana had gone to the safety of the police. I saw a gun lying in the ground and picked it up, swinging around to face King who had already recovered, though he had a blood stain on his forehead. But he had another leverage.

Ciara.

He had his arm around her neck and a gun pointed to her side. My gun was pointed at him and so was the gun of every other police but we couldn't shoot. If we did, we would hurt Ciara.

"King, let it go!" I said through gritted teeth. Ciara was struggling but she couldn't break free. Three of King's goons were already dead while one was shot on his leg, pinned down by two police men.

"No! They are both mine. What would you care even if I pull the trigger at Ciara. She doesn't really matter, does she? We both know she caused enough pain. So I'm basically doing you all a favour." He laughed menacely, his hand pressed on the trigger more

"Don't!" I pressed my finger on the trigger. It all happened so fast. I closed my eyes and heard several gun shots going off and at the same time, an excruciating pain filled my muscles.

"Ciara!" Tiana screamed. I opened my eyes to see King, lying still on the floor with blood gushing from his head. Apparently a police man had snuck in behind him to shoot him, but it was too late. Ciara on the floor, her side bleeding profusely. She was shot. Tiana was by her side screaming. I didn't pay attention to whatever pain I was feeling. I didn't even know where it was coming from. I rushed over to Tiana's side.

"Ciara, please. Don't do this." She was crying profusely. Ciara smiled sadly and took Tiana's hands in her bloody ones.

"I love you so much, Tiana. You are a wonderful and amazing person and I'm sorry for everything I made you go through. I just hope you can forgive me. I pray God forgives me too." Ciara chocked out.

"Ciara..." Tiana was weeping. Ciara's breathing became laboured until she breath her last. I gathered Tiana in my arms and hugged her so close.

"It's going to be okay." I whispered. I suddenly began to feel dizzy, the pain I was feeling coming back. Tiana looked at me and widened her eyes.

"Tyler, oh my God. You were hit." She screamed. I felt the pain coming from my shoulder blade, close to my heart. I looked there and saw blood spilling through my shirt. Turns out, King shot me before he died. I felt excruciating pain wash over my bones.

"Arghh!" I groaned in agony, falling to the floor.   My dad ran towards me and brought out a face towel, pressing it against my gun wound.

"Come on, son. Stay with me." My dad kept repeating. I tried to keep my eyes opened but I couldn't.

"Tyler, please stay awake. The ambulance is coming. Just keep your eyes open." Tiana said, shedding so much tears. I smiled, in a daze.

"I want to rest for a little while..." I whispered to her. "Let me close my eyes for a little while..." I smiled again.

"No! No! Look at me." She held my face in her dainty palm, making me look at her and I sighed. Something like fresh tears filled her eyes, I wasn't sure, I was dizzy. I wanted to sleep.

"Don't close your eyes, please. Stay awake for me." She whispered. My dad called for an extra towel because the one he was using had been soaked with blood. I reached up with my hand and touched her face.

"You are so beautiful." I muttered. She burst into tears, pressing her forehead against mine and I sighed again.

"Please, stay awake. I don't want to loose you too." She said.

"Hey, it's okay. I'm right here. I'm not going anywhere." The sirens from the ambulance were blaring louder and louder, indicating they were near. Black dots began to cover my vision and I shook my head to stay conscious but I was slowly slipping away.

"Stay with me." She was pleading. Another wave of pain rushed through me and slowly I was giving up into the darkness. With every bit of consciousness I had left, I cupped her face in my hand. As darkness and numbness took over by being, I told her something I've have been dying to tell since she said hers.

"I love you so much, Tiana.".

And darkness followed.
