Chapter 0042
I kept my question to myself and swiftly sprang into action and joined Luigi in the frat and in no time, the cafe erupted into chaos, with chairs and tables.
When Bran saw that things were quickly getting out of hand and we were defeating his hunks, he joined in the fight.
He instantly rammed into Luigi, shoving him across the room. When I saw him tackle him to the floor, I quickly dodged the punch the man I was fighting threw at me and ran towards him to help.
But immediately I got there, Luigi flipped him to the floor and ruthlessly pressed his palm on Bran's face. His gaze traveled behind me before they rested on me.
"Leave," he mouthed, "There's an alley, wait there."
"What about you?!" I whispered back as my eyes widened.
Why will I leave him here? There was no way I'd do that.
"Leave, Sydney!" He screamed as Bran took advantage of his distracted state and hit the side of his face with a tray he must have dragged from one of the tables around.
I decided to listen to him. He probably had a plan and if he doesn't, atleast, I'd be able to inform the police or find help. I made it to the table where my purse still lay without any incident, and grabbed my purse. When I turned to leave, I let out a frustrated groan as one of the men blocked my path while the other three faced Luigi. While I watched, impressed at how he was skillfully deflecting their blows and measuredly throwing punches and things their way, the man beforeof me picked me up and slung me over his shoulder.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
"Let go!" I yelled and beat him on his back and headed toward a hallway in the cafe. Neither my kicks on his chest nor my punches and scratches on his back did anything to dissuade him so I quickly and stealthily reached for the shocker in my back pocket.
Just as his fat hand pressed down on the doorknob, I pressed the shocker to his neck. As it discharged, his searing bolt of electricity must have coursed through his body, causing every muscle in his body to spasm uncontrollably. Almost instantly, a faint jolt sent an uncomfortable, almost painful, tingling sensation from my palm to my body, one tenth of what the man must be feeling
My hold on the stun gun faltered but I still held onto it. As it continued to shock him causing him to convulse hysterically, I also felt a faint buzz course through me.
Soon, I landed on the floor with a loud thud as he let go. I groaned as pain shot through my body from the impact of falling on the floor.
When I looked up, he was still convulsing frantically as he fell over the chairs and tables before landing on the floor with a thud that reverberated through the cafe.
I heard a grunt as another one marched toward me, probably coming to the rescue of his friend. I eyed the doorway behind him then the broken glass from when Luigi broke it when he jumped in.
With planned precision, I took off the one heel I still had on and gripped my purse. My muscles bunched, prepared for the short sprint I had planned. With a grunt, I took off, swiftly moved out of his reach when
his hand shot out and zipped past him. I voluntarily plummeted out of the window and landed on the grimy ground.
The man's eyes were wide with anger as he came after me but Luigi was suddenly pulling him back by his hair then he was slamming his face in the broken glass wall.
feet. My
I took that as my cue to flee. I ignored the pain that thrummed through my body and hot on my eyes perused the area in search of the alley he had mentioned. I sighted it, a long narrow dark pathway. I didn't bother to think of whatever might be lurking there and just ran there.
