If Only..(Part 1 And Part 2 Included)(Under Edit)

Chapter 30 - Child's Play

Jacob: I am not leaving you, guys. I.....I am sorry. I let you into this situation.

Cleo: No, Don't be. (takes a deep breath, gulping in the sadness) I am proud of you, however, you are. I accept everything that comes with this job.  I just want both of you, to be safe. 

Jacob: They will pay for what they have done. I won't let anything go wrong. 

"Time's up!"

A hoarse voice echoes through the silence, breaking their attention.

"Back off, Thompsons!" 

Jacob looks into her eyes, who nods her head, trying hard to keep herself composed. She kept her arms gripped across her belly. 

"Okay! Just look above her head."

Jacob looks up, to find a gun pointing right from the stairs towards Cleo's head and the color of his face fades away.

"Back off. within a count down of 5, if you don't want that gun to fire." 

Jacob stood up and took steps backward. 

"Stand, where you were initially."

Jacob looks at Jackson and walks up and stands near him. 

"There you go. Let's start the game, shall we?"

Jacob: What kind of an insane are you, to put the life of an unborn baby, at stake?"

"Ha Ha Ha. How does that matter? He is going to be just the mini version of you, anyway."

Jacob: Show yourself. I want to see your rotten face. 

"Fine! Wish granted."

A man dressed in black, from top to bottom, having his face covered with a mask, slowly walks down the stairs. Jacob kept his eyes on him. 

Jacob: What...

"Uh Uh Uh! First. Guns on the floor." 

Jacob unwillingly takes out his gun, places it on the floor, and pushes it forward. Jacob complied but Jackson did not. 

"And you? Mr. Claros."

Jacob turns towards Jackson with questioning eyes.

Jacob(whispers): What are you doing? 

Jackson(whispers): Shh!

Jacob: If anything happens to my family, you will be my first kill. 

Jackson: Accepted. 

"The rule applies to you, as well, Claros."

Jacob(whispers): Just fucking do it.

Jackson: Before I do that. I just want to know, what do you want? 

"Good question, I would say. Do you see, the gunmen at the corners of your house, Thompsons? Don't worry, they are dormant for now. But, if anything goes wrong, the guns fire. And, you know by now, who pays for it. Just like you made our men pay. Do you remember that ambush?"

Jacob: They deserved it. And, you won't even dare to harm her in any way.

"I won't if you comply."

Jacob: What do you want?

"You to surrender."

Jacob: Ha Ha. You think it is that simple.

" No, it's not.  Either you surrender, or I would love to see you try to stop the flying bullets, all at once. Just remember, the aim, is the same. Any bullet from any direction hits her head. "
