Chapter 72

Sam's Point-of-View

As I grab the door handle, a bullet flies past my head into the door!

I scream, taking my hand and putting it to my ear. Then, I hear the ringing from the gunshot, leaving me temporarily deaf. It starts to hurt.

"I was actually aiming for your head!" Max snarls, out of breath. He gets up from the bed slowly. I can tell he's in pain, grabbing onto his balls and wiping the sweat from his forehead. "Get the fuck over here, Sam!"

As I turn slowly, the table behind the door hits my back.

It hits something that is tucked in my pants! It dawns on me. All this time, and I had forgotten!

Benjamin's gun!

Ryder had tucked it into my pants.

I look at Max, holding my breath. He's starting to compose himself, an evil sneer on his face. I can't believe I actually cared for this man!

One of us is going to die. I have to make sure it isn't me.
