CHAPTER 10

  I was stiffed when someone suddenly fired on me and was about to stab me with a sharp knife when Hyde blocked it just to protect me from getting my skin grazed. He tried to take the knife that was thrown at him. He succeeded but his shoulder was badly wounded.

  I just realized that the next thing that happened was that he beat the man mercilessly. I panicked as I hurried picking up my cell phone and turned up the volume to its maximum. I played the police siren to scare them.

  “Shit! There are police! Let’s go!” one of Rox’s men declared and they ran one by one.

  Hyde released the man he was attacking and drove him away. He adjusted his shirt a little and shot me a threatening glare.

  “You’re putting yourself in danger!” He growled, scolding me. “I told you to just stay behind me! Why didn’t you listen?!”

  I ignored his lecture and checked his bleeding shoulder instead. This is not the perfect time to argue. He was shot and I can’t just stand there doing nothing.
