City by the Sea [3]

Melissa

I look to him and smile lightly. "So, you were saying?"


Adam

We finally get to the place and I park the car. We get out and jog into the building. "Are you ready? All these years have lead up to this moment." I say.

Joseph

I smile and try to remember, "I honestly don't remember what I was going to say."

```
Grace

I smile and nod, bringing out my gun again, "Ready as ever."

Melissa

I smile and roll my eyes. "Aw." I say. "I do not think I have a favorite memory of us. I loved them all." I say

Adam

"Don't shoot at her heart yet, I want to make her suffer before she dies. I want to show her what she says done to people.

Joseph

I nod and smile, "That's what I should have said."

``
Grace

I nod, "What about the boy?"

Melissa

I laugh and wrap my arms around him again.

Adam

"I do not care what you do to him. He will not be strong enough to handle anything we put on him, so do what you want." I say.

Joseph

I chuckle and kiss her cheek.

``
Grace

I smile and nod, "Let's go."

Melissa

I lean into kiss him, but I hear the lock being picked. I zoom up and take Joe with me. I beat down the door to the room next to us and shove him inside. I kiss him goodbye. "Joe, I love you. Don't try to be a hero, just run." i whisper, tears in my eyes. I give him a kiss full of fire and passion, wanting our last one to be special. I close the door and lock it. I then jump and stand on the top of the door frame, above the one they are about to come in.

Adam

I pick the lock and open it, going through the door, my gun held high again. I do not see anyone and walk in. All of a sudden Melissa flies down on top of me, knocking the gun out of my hand. She kicks and bites. I yell. "Shoot her, Grace." I scream.

Joseph

I stare at the door after she locks me in, confused and worried. Someone screams and I set a hand on it, holding my breath to listen.

``
Grace

I shoot Melissa in the leg and again the shoulder before kicking her off of Adam and asking him if he's alright.

Melissa

I yell when the wood hits my skin. My body shakes and I let out another cry of pain. They take me and tie my to a chair infront of the window. They take of my ring and open up the blind. My skin feels like fire and I cry out again.

They close them and I sigh. "Where is the boy?" They ask. I do not say anything and then open them again.

Adam

I smile at the pain and look at her. "Melissa, we know all about Joseph. Where is he?" I ask, demanding an answer.

"My life was more important than his, so I killed him. I did not want you to find me." She says.

"Clearly it did not work." I say, laughing.

Joseph

I hear her screams but remember what she said, trying to think.

``
Grace

I laugh with Adam and keep my gun in hand, watching.

Melissa

Adam looks at me and walks around me. "You are a blonde now." he says.

"Aw thanks for noticing." I say. He slabs a wodden stake into my arm and drags it along. I cry out, the pain to much to handle. Grace opens the curtians again and I grunt. "Almost forgot your were there Grace, nice to see you too."

Adam

"I am accually happy to see you Melissa." I say. "I have waited a long time to do this."

Joseph

I set a hand on the door and wince at her screams, hesitating before deciding on what to do.

``
Grace

I smile and keep by the curtains, ready to agree with Adam before the door to the other room flies open and a guy comes bolting from the other room and atop Adam.

Melissa

I stand in the chair and back up on Grace. She shoots and the bullet goes through one of the ropes around my arms and I punch her hard the the face.

Adam

I grunt as I go down. "What the hell?" I say aloud. I look at the guy and head but him, trying to break free

Joseph

I daze out for a moment after he headbutts me before snapping his neck.

```
Grace

I stumble backwards and look at Adam in horror, knowing this is the end.
