The Daughter Of The Mafia Boss
Chapter 22

Dylan was running as he made sure there was no danger to the two behind him. The only person he cared about though was Violet, he was reluctant to admit it but he would hate himself if anything bad happened to that woman, hell yes he was lost. Violet walked next to Liam who seemed to be struggling a bit to walk, the beating had been so hard. But he was still holding on, Dylan had overtaken them clearing the way to the gun room was their only hope... but then something happened, a group of men appeared out of nowhere shooting like crazy, Violet's first impulse was to throw Liam to the ground she couldn't let her sister's husband die, they had children to raise. -Run Liam, run to the hideout," she shouts at him as they both crawl to the trunk of a fallen tree, it looked like they were in a war zone.

-Don't be brave, if you die your father will kill me. Go on, I'll follow you.

-With a demon, I know how to defend myself.

Tired of being treated like a child, she stands up and runs to the base of a huge pine tree. She focuses on the enemies who kept firing at the trunk where Liam was lying. With agility and thankful for the arduous training Violet pointed the gun in the direction of the enemies, each one fell to the ground with a bullet in the head. Suddenly Dylan appeared and ended up killing the rest of the subjects.

-I had it all under control," he reproaches angrily.

-There's no time for your claims, let's go now.

They both run to help Liam when they realize the seriousness of the matter, Violet crouches down next to the young man and sees the wound he had on his stomach. There was a lot of blood seeping through his fingers.

-Oh my God, you're going to be fine, you're going to be fine," Violet pressed on the wound trying to stop him from bleeding out, but inside she was nervous.

-Go away," Liam demands.

-No, no, no, no... I'm not leaving you here, Dylan!

He saw fear and anguish in Violet's face, it would be a danger to take him because he would delay them and they could even die. But he couldn't leave him to his fate either, he was Violet's family, it wasn't in him to let him die... he put his gun away and leaned towards Liam to carry him on his shoulder.

-No, no, put me down... Get her out of here before it's too late.

-We'll all get the hell out of here," Dylan said, settling the matter, "Violet will be my eyes behind my back.

The girl's heart grew wide with emotion, it was the first time someone gave her a vote of confidence. That motivated her to trust Dylan, even if it seemed rather suspicious to her.

-My truck is parked several miles from the car they arrived in, he might still be there to get out of here.

-Then we'll go after him.

-No! We must go to the hideout and get into the tunnel that leads to the cabin my uncle has on the other side of this mountain. No one will replace us there.

-Violet, he needs attention, we can't go there. He'll die if we stay.

Then since Dylan seemed to have the upper hand in the situation, the three of them headed for Liam's truck... fortunately it was still parked on the side of the road, they put the injured man in the back while Dylan took command of the truck. -The keys!

-I lost them." With each passing minute Liam grew paler and paler.

-What a piece of shit.

Dylan breaks the wires underneath the van and then starts it up, but as he does so the engine of the van alerts the rest of the unwanted guests. Suddenly the vehicle was shot at by a hail of bullets. Dylan put the car in reverse and began to descend as fast as he could as the van jumped with every bump and rock.

-It's armoured, the bullets won't get through," Violet told him, seeing his anguished expression.

-Tell me something I don't know.

He makes a sharp turn to finish descending the steep hill, but of course they were being chased by motorised vehicles that were approaching rapidly while firing their guns.

-They're getting closer, go faster Dylan," Violet hurries him while holding Liam's head who by then was unconscious.

-I'm trying, stop harassing me," he objected as he tried to dodge all the dirt jumbles, if he didn't the van might flip over.

Too much speed for that road and with such a high van there was no doubt that they could turn over, Dylan looked in the rear view mirror and realised that the motorised vehicles were already on the sides of the van. They were shooting non-stop, luckily the jeep was impenetrable... then the motorbikes cornered him, two in front, two to the sides and the rest behind them.

-They surrounded us! -Violet exclaimed, loading her gun.

-Don't even try," Dylan warns her, sensing her intentions.

Manoeuvring the van, he nimbly turns the steering wheel to the side, the stratagem claims the life of the motorised vehicle that was harassing him, but it was only one, there were still more lying in wait. They looked like flies coming from all sides. As Dylan was about to leave the mountain, he saw several cars approaching the place, feeling a little more fearful, as they would be completely cornered. No matter how armoured the van was, it couldn't take much more.

Suddenly some guys get out of the van, among them was Demian Morgan with a couple of guns in his hands. Dylan observes the mobster who starts shooting in conjunction with the rest of the men next to him, as he can he professor dodges the cars avoiding the bullets.

-Dylan! What are you doing? Stop!

-We need to get him to the hospital, he's going to die," he proclaims, speeding up the car.

Violet realizes she was right, Liam wouldn't last long. His body was very cold and he was still not reacting. She looked back realizing that her family had stayed behind to finish with those guys, the young woman bit her lips, they couldn't stay, Liam's life was hanging by a thread.

[...]

Shot after shot was fired from the Morgans' guns, Demian was the first to fire at anyone who moved or came near them. With both pistols in his hands he hit every guy, taking his life in seconds. By the time no one else appeared he stopped firing.

-If there is anyone else, I think the cowards retreated," Daniels put his gun away.

-Violet left.

-She doesn't worry me, who is Liam, where the hell is he?

-Violet was in the back of that jeep," Reece comments, changing the cartridge in his gun, "It doesn't make sense that she was in the back, something's not right.

-He locates my truck, the GPS is active," says Daniels.

Demian observes the steep road of that mountain, he had lived many adventures in that place and now it seemed that it wasn't so safe. He looked at all those dead people scattered along the road, he felt so angry. He would get that bastard who was bothering his family and property.

-I got her! -Reece shouts to his family.

-Let's follow them," Demian walks to the car getting in the car, "Daniels, have the guys clean up this mess and activate the motion detectors and look for Liam.

-You heard him, let's get to work," he yells to the group, as he climbs into Demian's truck.

Reece also gets in the car and Demian quickly starts the car, leaving a trail of dirt in his wake.

[...]

He slams the car to a stop in front of the emergency room of a hospital that is quite crowded with patients, Dylan gets out of the van to pull Liam out of the car and take him to the entrance. -Quick, this man needs attention," he shouts with Liam leaving a trail of blood in his wake.

A nurse ran towards them carrying a stretcher to lay him down, the doctor on duty approached to check Liam.

-He has a very serious gunshot wound, but we are full, it will be impossible to treat him right away," the doctor looked up to see Dylan.

-He'll take care of him! -Violet pulls out her gun and points it at the middle of his head.

-Violet, put the gun down with a demon.

-If she doesn't take care of him she'll die, so she'll take care of him first.

-Miss, it's just that we're full. -The surgery room is full. The surgery room is full, this is a hospital not a clinic." The doctor had his hands up together with the nurses.

-I am Violet Morgan, and that man is my family. If he dies, you and everyone here will go with him.
