"Basta! Basta!" (Stop! Stop!)
The men shouted at me. The roads was still littered with pedestrians that I used as human shields.
There was no way they were going to shoot at me and hit innocent citizens. The buzzing sound up ahead was my saving grace. I just needed to have the right timing.
At the last minute, I stretched out my arms as a Vespa slowly pass by me. The driver fell off and I snatched up the bike and took off at a higher speed away from the men on foot. I laughed and waving my middle finger at the suits and sped away.
A car pulled out right in front of me and came to a screeching halt.
At my sped and close distance of the stopped car, I couldn't avoid the collusion. I slammed on the brake moments before contact. At impact, my body was violently disengaged from the bike and I sailed through the air over the hood of the car. I crashed on the pavement on my side, my head bounced on the ground. I groaned as I tried to get my bearings. I needed to get up, but my body wouldn't cooperate. My head was throbbing and I could barely keep my eyes open. I was fading fast.
A pair of expensive Italian shoes appeared in my limited field of vision. A string of Italian words were hanging over me and dread crept through me. A foot lodged under my shoulder and pushed me over. I was now laying flat on my back, a silhouette of a man standing over me with the sun illuminating his shape. He crouched down and a pair of gleaming amber eyes glared down at me.
"Gotcha."
