RUE
This is not how I thought my day was going to go. I’m not sure if I should
be more concerned that the man standing in front of me with a gun
might be a cop or that there’s a dead body a few feet from me.
This is what I get for trying to save the day. It’s come back to bite me in
the ass. I suppose no good deed goes unpunished. This is why I do bad
deeds. It keeps me out of trouble. Or maybe it keeps me from getting in
situations like this.
My ears are still ringing from the gunshot, and my fist is throbbing from
when I punched the dead guy. Well, before he died. As I assess the situation,
I’m pretty sure my chipper disposition won’t help charm my way out.
“He’s dead,” the young boy named Marco mutters. He’s in the corner of
the room, but his eyes are trained on his father.
I nudge the body with my foot. “Yep,” I chirp, confirming that Vince
Sledge is truly dead.
I’ve only been in this city a month and even I know of Vince. He was a
very bad man. One that was trying to put his hand up my dress until he took
three bullets to the chest.
“Who the hell are you?” the man that fired those shots asks. His gun is
hanging down at his side.
“She’s Rue,” Marco answers for me. Damn it. Why did I give the kid
my real name? It was a moment of weakness when being kidnapped.
“Are you okay?” Kelly, Marco’s sister, asks him before putting her
hands on his shoulder.
This has got to be a lot for him. I’m guessing the kid is maybe thirteen.
We didn’t have much time to talk during our kidnapping.
“He’s dead,” Marco repeats, and it’s not so much shock as it is relief.
“Do we have to bury them or something?”
I’m not doing that.
“Why don’t you go to your room and grab anything you want to take
with us,” the guy named Luke tells Marco.
Kelly said he would come and save us, but I didn’t believe her. Most of
the men I’ve met aren’t the save the day type, but she was right. Luke came
to our rescue, but I guess more specifically to Marco and Kelly’s rescue.
I’m still not sure what they plan on doing with me, and I don’t want to
know. I just want to get the hell out of here.
The man with the gun is staring at me, and I’m trying to pretend I don’t
notice. I keep using my chipper smile and easy disposition that has people
thinking I’m not a threat.
“I’ll clean this up if you want to get them out of here,” Mr. Stares-A-Lot
says and then tucks his gun into the holster under his arm. And so what if I
notice how hot he is? Or that I thought he was even hotter when he shot
Vincent?
“Great. I’m going to dip out. It was nice meeting everyone.” I creep
toward the door, hoping they won’t miss me. They have this under control,
and I’m no longer needed
