The gun is still at MY head. Should I just move? Has he lagged out? You know what I'm just gonna move. I moved and surprisingly no gunshot. Phew. When I walked away I noticed a knife in his pocket. You know, one of those really cool knifes. With the eccentric pattern on the handle. "So like I said no exlo!" "How can we be sure Miss?". He says while looking between me and Suri. "Did you not hear her? She said no exlo meaning no exlo" I say with a sarcastic smile. The man clicks his tongue and looks at the other officers. I look at the man closest to where I was standing before. No not the old man with the big fucking attitude over there. The younger man, who was tall and had broad shoulders with a buff figure. No I am not taking a liking for an Alliance member, I am simply pointing out ones features. I can't put my finger on where I've seen this guy. "Then why the hell would the boss send us here? It's obvious that someone in this house has exlo blood" The other guy says not the young one and not the old one with the big attitude. The one that was in the middle of both of them that looks about fifty. I'm not gonna lie, I was shocked at his voice. He sounded like a twat by the way. I ignore the question. I quickly spun around to grab some cereal out of the cupboard. I was hungry and it was 10AM. "I don't know, you probably have the wrong apartment block" Suri says while looking at me. I wasn't looking at her. Hell no, If I looked at her it would either be a laugh or a cry. I don't know which one but either way it wouldn't make the situation any better. The two men are arguing with Suri.
I calmly take a seat, they all went silent. I didn't know I had that much power. Gosh. "What?" I reply dragging my eyes away from my cereal bowl and seeing the three masked men staring at me with shock. I have no clue what they're shocked about. I'm just eating cereal. You know basic cereal, with a splash of water. Because you can't get milk anymore, no cows or goats. "Dev, stand up please" Suri says in a scared tone. Why is she scared. Have I been shot without knowing. I mean when I get hurt I don't feel pain, but I thought that was normal. I stand up and my eyes widen at the sight of my hand. That knife wasn't there before? I looked at the old officer with the big attitude and looked back down at my hand. It was that bastards knife in MY hand. No wonder they all looked like they were shitting themselves. The fifty year old in the corner took a step back and bolted out the door. What an idiot. "You stabbed me!" I say to the Alliance member who should now be on the list for trying to kill someone. He shook his head. "You were in the way!" He says through gulps of air. In the way? In the way of fucking what? I look at him with a puzzled look.
It came to my senses. He wasn't aiming for me. No. He was aiming for Suri. But why her? Does he think she has exlo tendencies. "You were aiming for Suri?" Suri stands there with widened eyes and her face growing into a shocked expression. My face is in despair. That an Alliance member would do that. Without proven evidence.
The young man comes over to me and pulls out a chair. I'm guessing for me to sit on because he is gesturing for me to. "Ivo! Don't touch that exlo scum" The man with the big attitude said. When will that guy shut up. "You!" Ivo says pointing at the guy "Need to shut the fuck up, you have just hurt a civilian" He says throwing his hands up in the air and crouching down to try and take the knife out of my hand. "Don't fucking talk to me that way kid, you have no right. You have only been working for the Alliance for two years. Me, I have been here twenty" "Well I have clearly gotten better training then you ever had. Because no Alliance member in there right mind would try and kill an innocent person without evidence, dickhead" I am sitting there shocked. He takes my hand and inspects the wound and knife in my hand. "Do you have any alcohol?" He says while looking up at Suri. "Yeah, we do" She replies while rummaging through the cupboards. He looks back at me. His eyes are brown, like a whiskey brown. They're staring right into my soul.
"Here" Suri says while handing over the alcohol. He nods and takes a cloth from the table. "This might sting" He says while pouring alcohol all over my hand and taking the knife out. It in fact didn't hurt. Like I said I don't feel pain for some reason. He looks at me in shock but collects himself and starts sewing my hand. Which was disgusting. But I didn't look away, I don't know why I didn't.
"Give me that!" The man with the big attitude replies, snatching the knife out of Ivo's hand. "Apologise!" Ivo nods towards me. I'm just standing there, not really knowing what to do. But I have a feeling if he did hit Suri, which he didn't. It would've also hit me by going through me if it didn't end up in my hand. He needs to know who the exlo was. And to find that out is by blood. There is blood all over the kitchen from my hand, meaning there is probably going to be some on his shoe. And if it is me, who is the exlo. I would be killed in a matter of seconds. "You only tried to kill one of us to find out who the exlo is, didn't you?" I say while standing up. "You're smart, little one" I give him a scowl. Young one? For goodness sake, still being treated like a child. "And you have my blood on your shoe" He nods. Ivo stands up behind me. Suri shocked. "Wow, we should recruit you. If you aren't the exlo" "I would never join the Alliance anyway" I bite back. The man looks stunned by my sudden choice of words.
"You don't have the attitude for an exlo anyway, so it's probably your aunt over there. She seems more collected then you ever will be" "And you seem like a bitch but we all have different personality traits now, don't we" Suri says. I'm shocked. She is definitely not an exlo. The man looks at Suri with revenge. It feels like everything just went in slow motion. The Alliance member that has been talking mad shit to our faces, brings out his gun in one swift motion. And It went all to fast or all to slow because the gun was fired.
And next thing I know..
