Coming up as slow and stealthily as he could, Gordy got lucky when the intruder brought the gun down to threaten Taco once again. Leaping as high as he could, Gordy got a good hold on the bastard’s wrist, causing him to drop the gun.
“Ow! Son of a bitch!” the attacker shouted as Gordy immediately let go of the man and raced to where the gun had fallen.
Gripping the gun in his mouth, Gordy raced to the large window and shifted, shouting, “Come on Gio. We need to get out of here!”
Opening the window, Gordy tossed the gun to the roof as the intruder snarled, “You aren’t going anywhere. I’ve come a long way and fuck if I’m going to just let you get away.”
Gordy turned around to see that the attacker had grabbed Gio and was holding a knife to his best friend’s neck. Swallowing his fear, Gordy said, “Okay, let him go first and I’ll go with you.”
“Gordy, no!” Gio shouted.
The attacker shook Gio causing the knife to pierce his skin, “Shut the fuck up before I kill you right now.”
“Kill him and you will never get what you came for.” Gordy warned, not knowing how he would stop the guy from killing him, regretting tossing the gun onto the roof.
The prick laughed, “I don’t think so. Now get your naked ass over here.”
Gordy had to think about his baby. He didn’t want anything to happen to Gio, but what risk was he putting his unborn child in by stepping forward.Think, Gordy, think! You’ve watched enough crime dramas to figure out how to get out of this.
Looking around, Gordy saw an old coat rack and under it was a cane. If he could…
“Don’t even think about it. Now get your fucking ass over here before this asshole dies.” The attacker snarled.
Gordy started walking towards the evil bastard when a thought hit him. Just as he got close enough for the attacker to grab him, Gordy quickly slammed into the intruder with his left shoulder while knocking the knife away from Gio’s neck at the same time. The knife went flying and Gordy fell with Gio on top of the attacker.
The loud thunk told Gordy the attacker had hit his head hard. Taking advantage Gordy stood up and grabbed Gio. He looked around for the knife, but couldn’t give it another thought because the attacker was starting to sit up as he shook his head.
Pulling Gio as hard as he could, he shoved the man to the open window, “Go Gio! Go! We need to get onto the roof!”
“I can’t leave Taco.” Gio tried to argue.
“You won’t be any good to Taco if you’re dead, now get out that window before I bite your ass. I have a baby to protect, damn it, and you aren’t making it easy.” Gordy argued as he shoved Gio to exit the attic window.
Gio gasped, but quickly rushed onto the roof. Gordy quickly crawled out behind his friend and raced to the edge of the building. Looking down, Gordy backed up, then remembering the gun, he went back and picked it up shoving it into the back of his pants, praying the stupid thing didn’t go off and shoot him in the ass. That would suck.
Looking up, and around to see if he could locate Jamil, he heard the intruder shouting, “Get back inside or I swear I will slice this fucking lizard’s throat and toss his head out to you on that roof!”
Gio gasped, “Gordy, you go. I have to try and help Taco.”
“Gio, no!” Gordy shouted, but his friend wasn’t going to listen.
Rushing after Gio, he watched in horror as his best friend climbed back inside, shouting, “Don’t hurt him! Please don’t hurt him. I’ll do whatever you want.”
For fuck’s sake, what the hell was Gio thinking? He had powers for fuck’s sake. Okay, he was cussing just a bit too much for even his liking. He was going to have to have a talk about that with Gunner when he saw him again, and if the gods were with him that time would be soon.
“Gordy, Jamil is coming for you and Cobra and I are on our way as well.”
Gordy jumped a bit at hearing Gunner in his head, but then a thought hit him.“Does Cobra have a mind link like we do?”
Gunner seemed kind of thrown with the question, but answered, “Of course, all bond mates have it.”
“Then have him use it to remind Gio he has his fucking super powers before he gets himself killed!”Gordy shouted.
“Where is Gordy? There is nothing you can do for me except get your friend to get his ass back in here! Or I will kill your dragon.” The attacker snarled, sounding angrier than he had before.
Knowing Jamil was coming for him, Gordy did the only thing he could think to do. He went back into the attic and pulled Gio behind him. “I’m here. Leave Taco alone.”
Gio tried to get around Gordy, but he wasn’t going to let that happen. He needed his focus on the fucker in front of him so he could save Taco and not split his focus from Taco to Gio as well.
