THE MOVIE SCREEN in front of them abruptly went blank and the overhead lights winked on. Whoever was running the projector had realized that nobody was watching Rocky IV at this point. And he was likely calling the police right now.461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBw7hzurat
"Don't come any closer," she called out to Godfredo.461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsZQTz4E5Y
"Ay, you're a perra desagradable, I'll give you that," said Godfredo as he inched toward Mischa with his gun raised.461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75KHsYMXoM
She still had her gun pressed into Benito's back. But it made no sense. Godfredo would shoot both of them, and claim that Benito got caught in the crossfire. Surely, Mischa Barton, the fugitive holding a hostage, would take the blame for everything.461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4ouEhcqHf
Her whole body was in an uncontrollable quiver. She felt helpless. She had a gun but could she----could she really use it? She could do lots of things to protect herself---She had done lots of things----but shoot someone?461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTygrhiXHy
She could see the wide, fiery look on Godfredo's eyes as he advanced on her. He flanked to his left for a better angle.461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdspFrbCj2O
Do something, Mischa!461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLlRMw28yS
"I'll shoot," she said again, thinking it'd buy her a few seconds. That's what Godfredo wanted, more than anything. He wanted Benito to due by her hand, not his. Then he could shoot her and tell a really good story.461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6ekaScGmO
"I'll do it, Godfredo. I'll kill him." She moved the gun to Benito's forehead. Benito was on the verge of collapsing.461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sdibuCjQY
A menacing grin played on Godfredo's face. He was now maybe ten feet from her. He had them in his sights. She watched him pause a moment. One final chance for her to do his dirty work for him and kill Benito McLaughlin.461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYGXhsLI0T
His eyes gained focus. He steeled himself.461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6N54flY3V
Then he froze for a beat, his face going blank. The gun fell from his hands a moment before his legs gave out and he collapsed to the floor. A pool of blood quickly expanded near his forehead.461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVp4RkUzTY
She looked to the right. Drake. Drake was standing at the top of the same aisle that Benito and Mischa had traveled, holding a gun with a long piece on the end. She assumed it was a suppressor. She certainly hadn't fired the bullet.461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmA65eHwflL
Egor stood against the wall just below the movie screen, stunned. He looked at Drake and then at her.461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQAQ8AQcH3
"Drake!" he said. He cleared his throat, as if he were trying to recover. "Drake, thank God...."461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RIsP8113i
"Egor, tell me something." Drake aimed the gun at him. "Who told the warden that Rihanna was an acceptable loss?"461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxhJLJgJYM
"Not me," he said, raising his hands in surrender. "That was all Delannoy."461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPnVVA1Af0
"Yes, well, I've already dealt with Delannoy."461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGmHrKzJV5
"Drake, I swear...."461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaKwc5M8b8
Those were the last words that Egor Tarabasov ever spoke. A black circle appeared between his eyes and his limp body crumpled to the ground.461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5c5LfkudC
Drake lowered his weapon to his side and looked at Mischa. He was wearing the same expression she'd seen in Belroux, one of despair and regret. A single tear trickled down his face as he approached her.461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfovb25n5hu
Benito broke free of her and started to run toward the other theater. She couldn't have stopped him if she wanted to. And she didn't want to.461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnryvXnfpxM
She pointed her gun at Drake, who stood before her, helpless, his own weapon at his side. For all she knew, he wanted her to shoot.461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOaNPkPmCN
"Drake," she said. "Was Sebastian part of this?"461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6wH3G1CiM
Drake's shoulders relaxed. He seemed to be past the deception. The jig was up, and he knew it. "I can give whatever answer you'd like," he said.461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡae1DH0fHtv
She thought she knew what he meant. "The truth," she aid. "Once and for all, Drake. I want the fucking truth!"461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaJW3ZoUZ6
