Walking into the lion's den

Huh?.

"What?!,who the fuck is that?!"Josè yelled.

Garry got out of the car and at the same time, Pedro came down with Grace.

They haven't seen Larry yet.
No,they saw him but didn't know he's the one cause he was quick to cover his face with the hoodie.

But now, Jose was thrown into the state of discombobulation.

He started at Larry and back at Garry.
Is his sight playing games with him?.

Garry stared at Grace in shock.
"Mom!!"he shouted.

And that was when Larry raised his head.

Mom??

He unconsciously removed the hoodie off his head as his mouth opened in bewilderment.

It's.... it's her....
Their mom.

Pedro eyes traveled to Larry and his eyes widened.

Garry also turned and he gasped.

Grace also gasped when she saw him.
Her twins were still both alive.

Jose was busy rubbing his eyes thinking his eyes are seeing double.

And so,everyone was thrown into the state of both confusion and shock.

They stood there, staring at one another.
Not able to do anything.
Don't even know what to do.

It seems like the time paused as they all paused.

Then, suddenly,a big thunder roared around the city and minutes later, rain started falling.

But they still stood there,in the rain as time seems to froze. Like it literally stopped.

"Oops!. Now,this is strange. The rain suddenly falling without showing no signs?"Annie asked herself alone in the dark room.

She pulled the blanket to her body the more and shut her eyes.

She suddenly remembered Larry and the other night.

She bit her lower lips and blinked.
No,she doesn't even wanna talk about it.

She wonder if she's going to able to forgive him.

What he tried to do was outrageous and very strange of him also.

We,who is she kidding.
She already miss him.

And finally, time seems to continue as Larry ran to Grace and hugged her.

Grace couldn't hold it in as tears streamed down her face.

"Oh,my son,my son...."she said.

Larry hugged her fragile body the more.

And then, Pedro did the unthinkable.

He dragged Grace away, pulling them apart and suddenly brought out his pistol and pressed it on her neck.

"So, you're alive. Wow."he scoffed and started moving back to the direction of the car.

The driver turns out to be Skyler.
He was surprised seeing Larry there.
Thought he warned him already.
Now,he is going to get to things busted.

Larry took a step forward and Garry also came to stand beside him.

"Look,I ain't afraid of you anymore,and I can fuckin swear you aren't leaving here just..."

"Take another step and I blow off her fucking brains!"he yelled pressing the gun to her neck the more.
*
Larry balled his fist hard in a ball.

He smirked at Pedro.
"I just think you're mistaken, Pedro. This is a man standing before you and not a boy. I hope you get that into your fucking damned brains. You rotten old man!"he gritted out of annoyance.

Pedro feigned a gasp.
"Woah?, really?,I didn't know. Well,I look forward in seeing how the man will save his mother..and oh,how gutsy!. No more respect again?,hmm..rude, really rude.."

"You walked into the lion's den yourself,fuckin uncle!. So,now,you will have to face its wrath."Garry spoke.
His brows were all creased up in a deep frown.

"And this is the end of it. Say bye to your beasts, Grace."Pedro said with a rough tone as he stepped inside the car with Grace.

"Hey, Josè. Close the gate!"Larry yelled at Josè who was still deep in thought.

Skyler started the engine but hesitated.
He suddenly pulled out the key from the ignition hole.

They have to deal with this here.
If he should return with him back then he would be so busted.
After all, it's high time he also carry out his revenge.
He has just been waiting for a day like this.

"Hey!,you asshole!. Why?. Move the damn car, you loser!."

"You seems to be the loser here, Pedro."Skyler said as he looked up at him through the rearview mirror.

He whined down the louvers and Larry and Garry showed up beside the window side.

Larry tried opening the door forcefully.

Pedro saw this and his heart leapt.
He know he is so dead if the kids grab him.

He pointed the gun at Skyler.
"Move it,young man. Or,I spread all your brains on this window.."he threatened.

"Your end is here already, Pedro. You can't stop it. We've all been preparing for this day."Skyler smirked.

Pedro was now burning in rage.

He pulled the trigger and tried shooting him but to his utmost dismay,there was no bullet inside.

What?.

"Oops!. Seems like the gun is empty. You're out of bullet, should i lend you one?"Skyler asked.
"And well,I have one bullet here in the drawer. You want it?"he smirked.
"You're gonna regret...."
"Eish,shush. Do you think you're stepping out of this place alive?. Guess what also,that one bullet will be use to kill you."Skyler cut him off.

And after seeing and taking in the scene, Grace quickly opened the door and ran out.

"You bitch!,get back here!"Pedro shouted and stupidly got down from the car.

Garry grabbed him by his neck and started choking him.
"And this is just the beginning."he said with tightened face.

Larry led Grace inside the house and kissed her cheek then ran out not after locking her inside the house.

He doesn't want her to witness all of this and just in case also,he doesn't want her to fall a victim again.

He ran back to the scene and saw Pedro held up high by Garry. He was been choked.

Pedro eyes bulged out of his sockets and he held Garry's hand in a pleading manner.

"Wait, Garry. Come on. We aren't just gonna allow him to die like this. Remember,he tried to blow me off with the building?"
Larry rushed to him.

Garry glanced at him and the tension in his eyes hardened the more as he choked him harder.

"I also think so."Skyler said hopping out of the car.

Garry's eyes brightened.
"Skyler?"he called and left Pedro making him to fall on the hard floor.

He groaned and started coughing.
Now,this is hell.
Seems like he brought himself here to be killed.

"You came earlier than I imagine, Skyler."Larry spoke.

"Yeah?. And you noise maker. Thought we had a deal."Skyler replied.

"Okay, I'm lost."Garry said quizzically.

"Don't get lost yet, Garry. But,you can after we get rid of this mess old man and I will just find you."Larry said moving towards Pedro on the floor.

He placed his leg on his leg and pressed Pedro's leg to the floor, crushing it with his hard shoe.
