The attack pt. 2

Recap...

"I have to go do some business, remember the attack will begin at 10:30," he says and turns to leave. "You're welcome to join me if you want to," he says before he walks away.

Kiera:

I spent 40 minutes just walking around and listening to conversations until I finally spot them. My cousins. My so called family. All of them including Santo are talking with the Kings, the Ivanov's, and a girl near the bar. Allessandro looks terrible. His hairs messy, he hasn't shaved, and he has dark under eye bags. He looks unhinged the way he's speaking and moving. I go up to the bar so I can listen to their conversation.

"... If she had just done as she was told I wouldn't be like this. This is all her fault. I would've been able to work properly. She's a selfish bitch and has ruined my reputation by whoring around," Allessandro finishes speaking. "I couldn't agree more. We took a chance with her to create are alliance but it's clear she can't handle that," Dima says. "You don't have to kill her though, there's other options," Santo says. "If you keep defending her you won't be breathing tomorrow," Allessandro says. "If you want her dead Allessandro I will have my men be on the lookout for her, I'm sure Dima would do the same," Samuel says. "We will," Dima replies instantly. "Does anyone have anything else to say?" Samuel asks. "It's a shame she has to die, she is a pretty girl," Rider says. "Yeah, she would've been a great wife if she just listened," Alexei says.

The men finish their conversation and walk away. Santo comes to the bar and gets a whiskey. I probably shouldn't blow my cover but I trust Santo. He should at least know I'm safe. "Santo," I say and he looks up immediately recognizing my voice. "Kiera?" He says. "Shh," I say quickly before nodding. "You really have to get out of here, how are you even here?" he asks. "I got help from a friend, and don't worry it'll be over soon," I say and stand up. He tries to say something else but Marco comes up towards us.

I look at the clock as I make my way to the bathroom, just 15 minutes until the attack. I have to hurry. As I wash my hands someone walks in and I look up. It's a blonde haired girl and she looks kind of familiar. She gets a call and starts talking quietly. That's when I realized.  I finish washing my hands, leave the bathroom and stand outside waiting for her to leave.  Once she walks out I hit her in the back of the head and drag her into a storage closet. I tie her up and lock the door behind me. I'll deal with Chantel later.

I only have 3 minutes left so I rush towards the back exit. Once I'm there I wait for the lights shut off before I open the door and wait. As planned Adonis's men bring out the innocent people so they don't get stuck in the cross fire. After about 5 minutes I shut the door and go towards the ballroom. I wasn't supposed to do this but I want to. I duck down and start shooting people trying to escape in the legs so they can be captured. I spot Allessandro and make my way towards him. I get behind him and shoot him in the leg before getting closer and taking off my mask making sure he sees me before I knock him out.

The fights almost over so I walk along the walls and get back to the hallway to leave. I didn't even hear the person following me until it was to late. He pushes me against the wall and I try to fight back. "You can't escape Kiera," Alfeo says. He grabs my neck and says "You ruined everything." "What did I ruin?" I ask. "Our reputation, our alliance with Alexei, you split my family apart and my plan," he says. Before I loose consciousness a shot rings out and Alfeo falls to the floor. I look up and the last thing I see is a girl near the exit with a man. 

                                . . . 

I wake up with strong arms wrapped around me in an unfamiliar bed. I start to panic before the smell of Adonis's cologne reaches my nose. I'm safe. I look around the room I'm in. It's Adonis's bedroom. I spent a night here once but it was awhile ago. "Good morning," Adonis says groggily. He leans forward and kisses my forehead.  "What happened last night?" I ask.

Reaper POV:

"Where is she?" Tony asks me. "I have no idea, she was holding the door open for those evacuated but she didn't follow us out," I say. "You have to go back in, I'm coming with you," he says. "Ok, let's go," I say rushed and start running back to the building. It looks like all of Adonis's guards have taken everyone and left but anyone could still spot us.

As soon as I get the door open I see someone strangling Kiera. Immediately Tony shoots him. "I'm going to go help fight, you get her out," I say. Tony nods and I run forward I can here him rushing to Kiera. I move quickly cutting the back of people's knees. Soon everyone besides Adonis and his men and women are down. "What are you doing?" Adonis asks rushing towards me. "Helping," I state. "You were supposed to be evacuated," he says. "I didn't need to be evacuated, I clearly can handle myself," I say.

"Who are you know as?" He asks. "That's not important for now, you should be worrying about Kiera," I say. And his face changes from anger and confusion to worry.

Kiera:

"The reaper led me to you and I got you to our nurse. She said that nothing was severely damaged and Tony shot Alfeo in time," he finished explaining. "I can't believe Tony is here," I say. "Yeah, both him and the reaper are in the apartment and so are your twins," he says. "Really?" I ask and he nods. "Can we go see them after we go to the warehouse?" I ask. He raises and eyebrow and asks "You want to go the warehouse first?"

"Yes, I want to be sure my twins are safe from my family before I see them," I say. "Ok let's go," he says. We take turns taking a shower and then get dressed and leave. Once we're in the car I decide to ask, "Who is the Reaper by the way?" "Elli Cross, the daughter of Alan Cross. The ex Australian mafia leader," Adonis says.
