Sarah had never felt this much adrenaline being pumped through her body before, but she knew she loved every minute of it. Suddenly her head was as clear as a bright morning and she knew what she had to do. Leito’s henchmen finally grabbed the object hidden under his jacket and begin to withdraw it. He was quick to aim the gun, but Sarah was quicker. With a spinning kick the heel of her boot collided with the gun, sending his aim off. There was another one of those loud cracking noises as the gun went off. The bullet just missed Sarah and went smashing through the door’s small, dusty window. The bullet carried on until it rested in the hallway wall. Amazingly the window didn’t shatter as Sarah had expected it to. Instead, the bullet went through cleanly and left just a little hole in the dusty glass.
Sarah turned her attention back to the thug lying on the floor. His face was frozen in shock; he had never expected a helpless little girl to kick his weapon out of his hands. His eyes opened wide when he saw Sarah lunge forward with her own gun raised up beside her head. “OH SHIT!” he screamed as she swung the gun and brought it down on the side of his head. There was a dull cracking sound, followed by a loud groan of pain from the man. Sarah winced at the sound and sight of blood that ran down the side of his face and neck. She almost screamed herself when his head slowly began to turn to her again. Sarah pulled back and smashed the gun into his temple, not once, not twice, not three times, she kept hitting him until he stopped moving and his face was a bloody mess.
Sarah stood up and looked down at the dead body in front of her. Then she looked at the gun in her hand, she looked passed it to the blood that coated her fingers. She dropped the gun in disgust for herself. She had taken a man’s life and there was no going back from that. Suddenly she had a dreadful feeling and she just had to get out of the room. Sarah turned and bolted for the office’s open door. When she thought she was about to escape Lieto himself stepped out from the side of the exit. He grinned and opened his arms at just the right time. Sarah slammed into him and was unable to stop herself. Lieto turned her around and stretched one arm around her neck, almost choking the girl. She felt the cold barrel of his gun pressed into the side of her neck.
Lieto glared into the room and laughed, “look what you’ve done to Vito. I guess I should thank you, you’ve just saved me ten-grand.” Lieto kissed the side of Sarah’s cheek, she tried to fight against him, but he easily over-powered her. He began dragging her backwards away from the office and toward the stairs. He had it in mind to take Sarah with him and if he had to use her as a shield he would.
