Snippet #2098407

Adrian paused for a moment, the words echoing in his mind. Anyone who gets in the way... and they would have killed kids... He held this man's life by a thread, no one would judge him if he pulled the trigger. "We can't let him go squealing to his buddies. But I think he might be able to help us, if he wants to or not." He pressed the barrel of the gun to the man's head, thinking of what to do. "Hey buddy, got a radio? Call in a disturbance downstairs. Tell them whatever you like but if you mention me or my companion here your brains are going to be splattered all over that wall." Adrian gave one last look to Solia before speaking again. "I'm going to count to five, then I'm pulling the trigger." No response, Adrian drew back the hammer. "One." The man was breaking into a cold sweat, his eyes wide as Adrian held the gun. "Time's running out. Two!" The man spoke under Solia's hand, twisting and looking down. "What was that?" He gave Solia a nod to let him go, Adrian's grip still tight. "Three." This was inhumane but he couldn't let this man give them away. Nothing was going to get in his way.
