Having received Tamon’s orders, Jet gestured for the blackguards to advance, intent on subduing Frank and Vicky.
“Stand back!”
Vicky snarled viciously as they got closer and whipped out a black handgun from under her bed, bringing it to bear at Jet. “I’ll shoot if you take another step!”
She then wheeled on Tamon. “Starting with you, geezer!”
“Are you challenging me?!” Tamon bellowed furiously.
“Put down your gun!” Quentin snapped as well. “Don’t make a bigger mistake than you already did!”
On the other hand, Wes was laughing as he strode toward Vicky. “Hah! Kill me if you can. I really doubt you’ll shoot!”
Bang!
Everyone was left staring in shock as Vicky shot Wes squarely in the chest.
The man did not even realize he was shot until he looked down and found a hole on his chest. He was bleeding straight from the heart.
He collapsed to the floor right then, shock still showing on his face as he died.
“Are you crazy, Vicky?!”
Tamon and Quentin were left gaping-Vicky had really shot Wes!
Jet was stunned too. Not only would Vicky shoot, but she killed one of her family’s elders too!
“Come on! Who’s next?!” Vicky’s hand was shaking even as she held her gun, but her voice was determined. “I would never have done this, but you forced my hand!”
“You bitch Tamon almost lost his
е
mind at the sight of his son’s corpse, reality barely sinking in. “Y-You killed
your elder for some…illed
You have no place in this family!”
“Oh, what a coincidence!”
Vicky kept her gun trained at him while pulling Frank by the arm toward herself. “I have no intention to stay in a family full of bitches such as yourself. Why don’t you just roll over and wait until the
Lionhearts come to massacre you?”
“She’s crazy!”
“She’s insulting us!”
“We are your family, Vicky! How could you do this?!”
Vicky, however, could not care less about their shock and outrage. She kept pulling at Frank, ready to leave. “Go, Frank! Go!”
Tamon’s eyes flashed right then.
“We raised you, Vicky! Not only are you ungrateful, but you’d turn against us and even kill one of your elders! There’s no place for you now!”
Turning toward Jet, he bellowed, “Go! Take down that traitor!”
His order left Jet pursuing his lips-Vicky had a gun, and she had already shown that she would not hold back!
Worst of all, Tamon would rather send him to die than do something about Vicky himself!
Still, in spite of his misgivings, Jet led the blackguards and charged at Vicky.
“Give up already, Vicky!”
“How many bullets are there in your gun?! Do you have enough for all of us?!”
“Why don’t you see for yourself?!” Vicky snapped back ruthlessly and pulled the trigger again.
