Merc's On A Bridge
I slowed my past to a walk. Drew was most likely not going to follow me now and I was a safe distance away.
A bloodcurdling scream rang out across the bridge.
It could even be heard over the cars.
A death-like chill began to climb up my spine.
It was Drew.
“Where you running Arrow-Boy?!” he screamed in a voice that was filled with bloodlust
I began to run again when a bullet exploded onto the pavement about a foot away from me.
“Don’t move cowboy! If I wanted you dead, you’d be lying dead on the pavement already.” he shouted
I stopped walking.
And literally began to cringe worried that he might kill me right there.
“Sticks and Stones may break my bones; but Drew will probably kill me.” I thought
A hand landed on my shoulder. And something hard came up against my back.
“Keep walking Archer-Boy; We need to talk.” he saod
I swallowed my pride and began walking.
I probably could surprise him with my combat knife but the chances weren’t in my favor.
Plus, I wanted to hear what he had to say.
