Escaping The Mafia King

The hours passed by and then there were sounds of gunshots, loud yelling, and screams. Hope started shivering. She knew something was wrong, in fact, everything felt wrong in that moment. Her heart was in a panic. She could not dare lift up her head and look out from the window of the car. She wanted to go and find Varys, she could feel the panic throbbing inside her. But she did not want to get him in trouble, she did not want to become a liability and she did not know what the hell was going inside that house. All she knew was that there was some really scary shit going on inside the house and Varys and his family were in danger.

Her hands fumbled to find her mobile phone and thankfully, after much struggle of trying to hold it in her fumbling fingers, she managed to dial 911.

Before the Police came, the gunshots had stopped and the house had gotten covered in silence. Earlier there had been sounds of shouting, growling, footsteps. She had heard people run out of the house and get inside the SUV's and hop on thei bikes. Her body was literally frozen and her eyes were burning for some reason. Her heard seemed to thud inside her throat, her tongue feeling heavy. Right before she could gather up the courage to go inside the house, the early rays of sun had just hit the pavement when the police sirens blared, pulling Hope out of her daze. Grabbing the handle of the car door, she threw it open and jumped out, ready to dash inside the house before the police cars even came to a stop. But then her body tumble forward and she almost fell down hard.

All she remembered after that was getting grabbed from her arms by some people, and firm, loud foot steps of the police officers running inside the house while shouting orders at each other. Everything was a loud echo instead of coherent words coming out of people's mouth.

She shrug off the holds of people, not liking anyone holding her in that moment, she was almost frantic when she threw their hands off her arms. She could hear them yelling something at her, or probably just saying something softly, it was not easy for her to make sense of anything.

And then when she lifted her eyes up, she saw three stretchers with bloodied bodies getting carried towards the ambulance. First, Varys' dad, then his mom, and then... Hector. And their eyes were open, staring right at her while their chests never moved to breathe.
