ZAVIER (Zero)
I will kill them. Whoever they are. Whoever might have sent them would die by my hands.
I counted three men, already. Three and then, the sniper at the top of the skyscraper.
I maneuvered the car to a secluded street and turned off the ignition. "Stay down, Lani. No matter what you hear. I'll be back."
Was almost out of the car when Lani grabbed my hand. "B-be careful."
I kissed her hand and allowed her touch to linger. "I'll be back". Then, I took off.
LEILANI
I don't know how long I waited. I panicked as I waited. Zavier was gone for long and I don't know what's happening out there.
My legs feel so numb but I stayed still where he told me to. I must have fell asleep again because I came to awareness with the sound of the door opening.
" Zavier!" I gasped, worried. He was bloody and his clothe was torn.
"Blood's not mine, Darling." He groaned and I let out a deep sign of relief at that.
