After a while, the anxiety mixed with curiosity got to me so I flipped over to my stomach and used my arms to push myself up, not enough for them to spot me but enough for me to see what was happening.
Instead of seeing a blood bath like I was expecting, I saw Nathan casually talking to a girl with short, jet-black hair. She had bangs, a nice figure which stood out in the tight black outfit she wore, and black leather boots to complete the look. This girl was the definition of badass.
I wonder what Nathan had done to piss her off…
Since her back was facing me, I could his Nathan’s face clearly and he seemed to be completely in control.
I looked around the car to see Nathan was right. There were six men in total, all surrounding the car. They each had a machine gun in their arms and their gazes were all locked firmly on Nathan’s every move.
The place where we had parked our car was deserted, since it was a ten minute walk away from where the tree-picking area was, so there was no one around to call the police.
My eyes landed on Nathan again, watching as the conversation between him and the girl became heated.
It looked like the girl was winning, and had she not been on the enemy’s side, whoever the enemy was, I’d have given her props.
I gasped as Nathan suddenly whipped out his gun from his waistband and aimed it at the girl. The six armed men responded without hesitation and next thing I knew it, Nathan had six machine guns aimed directly at his head.
I stared in shock as the armed men slowly came closer until they were all circling Nathan, fingers poised on their triggers.
I was taken aback by how Nathan seemed so calm and collected. He even managed to flicker his eyes to mine for a split second to give me a cocky smirk while the girl spoke to her men.
I shook my head in disbelief and would be lying if I said I wasn’t impressed.
The girl barked some orders then, causing all the men to instantly drop their guns and take ten steps back, hands raised and everything.
Nathan smirked down at the girl in victory, then slowly began to back away, coming closer to the car.
I breathed a sigh of relief.
Just as he turned around to open the door, the men moved at lightning speed and were surrounding him with their guns at once. Since his back was to me, I couldn’t see his expression.
Drop it ! A gruff voice barked from the enclosing circle on Nathan.
I watched as Nathan reluctantly dropped his gun, kicking it away from him and holding up his hands.
I looked around nervously, trying to think of a way to stop this.
They couldn’t shoot Nathan… Who else was going to drive us back ?
Without thinking, I crept up to the passenger seat, avoiding their eye sights. Slowly, I pulled the handle and opened the door, careful not to make any noise. My heart was pounding in my chest as I softly landed on the snow.
Like a ninja, I moved fast and silent away from the car and made my way towards the intimidating girl, who was currently standing about twenty feet from the men and watching the encounter with a relaxed posture, her back to me.
I was just two feet away from her when I caught Nathan’s eye.
His eyes widened in shock before he quickly covered it and glanced away. He shot me a quick warning look before hanging his head down.
Hah ! Like I was gonna go back after getting this far…
I knew this girl was highly important, seeing as she walked around with a squad of six full-grown men, so I had the perfect plan in place. Now the only hard part was if I could actually handle the gun.
I smirked once I was two inches away and swiftly grabbed her into a headlock, silently thanking my brother for having taught me that many times, and got out my gun. I pressed the barrel into her temple, forcing my hands to stop shaking.
She squeaked in surprise and then let out a scream, causing the six men to look our way.
Once they saw that I had their queen at gunpoint, they slowly started to move towards me.
Stop ! I yelled, speaking for the first time. Take one more step and I won’t hesitate to shoot her.
Wow, all those action movies I’d watched with Landon really did help in this situation…
They froze then, staying in their place.
What the fuck do you think you’re doing ? The bad-ass chick yelled at me.
Practicing my audition for Mission Impossible. I shrugged, causing her to growl and struggle against my hold.
Uh uh uh. I tsked, pressing the gun into her head slightly harder, making sure my finger wasn’t touching the trigger.
I could hold her at gunpoint, surprisingly, but I could never shoot someone. That was just plain ridiculous.
Luckily, she froze in her attempts to break free.
Alright. I said. Drop your guns and put your hands up. I ordered the six men.
They looked at each other unsure, greatly offending my authoritative power I had going.
Motherfucking now ! I yelled, pressing the gun into my victim’s temple harder. I was sure it would soon leave a mark…
They all suddenly dropped their guns and put their arms up, staring at me.
Idiots. The girl in my grasp mumbled under her breath.
Nathan stood where he was, watching me in shock. Once I caught his eye, I gave him a cocky smirk, similar to the one he had given me before, along with a wink.
Now that I had all six men unarmed and away from Nathan, I let go of the chick, slowly backing away towards the car, the gun not breaking its aim at her head.
I backed up to where Nathan was, not turning around once and made sure the men didn’t make a move to grab their guns again.
I felt a hand grab my waist and pull me into a chest.
I leaned back into Nathan’s chest, slightly relaxing into his hold and breathing in that Abercrombie cologne which instantly calmed me down.
I noticed he also had a gun aimed at the chick now.
Alright, I’m gonna open the door, and you get in first. I’ll get in next and you need to cover me while my back is turned okay ? He whispered into my ear, his arm around my waist tightening.
I nodded. He reached behind his back now and pulled open the door smoothly.
Before getting in, my gaze locked with the leather-clad pissed off chick, who gave me a burning glare in response. If her gaze hadn’t been so terrifying, I would have blown her a kiss.
