CHAPTER 118
SKYLAR POV
When the window shattered in front of me, I fell to the ground behind the couch and all three guys screamed my name.
I heard gunshots ringing out from outside the house and inside the house.
Jax was the closest so he made it over to me and he started looking me over.
“I’m alright. It just missed me.” I said, pointing to the wall where the bullet went in.
“Holy shit. That scared the fuck out of me.” Jax said, hugging me to his chest.
“Help them.” I insisted.
“I’m not leaving your side.” He said.
We kept down low behind the couch when we heard another car pull up out the front and more guns started ringing out and shooting up the house.
“This is bullshit.” I said, pushing away from Jax.
I stayed close to the ground and I made my way across the living room and I ran down the hallway to the door that led to the basement.
I grabbed a bag and I put grenades in it and grabbed a couple of military grade weapons that were fully loaded.
I came out of the basement and I saw all three of the guys were at the front of the living room trying to hold off the men that were attacking us.
I snuck upstairs to the first floor and I went into a sitting room at the front of the house that got a lot of sun in the morning. But I opened the window and I grabbed one of the grenades and I pulled the pin.
I waited a second before I threw it out of the window and it landed in between both of their cars.
I only knew it landed where it did because when it exploded, so did both of their cars and a lot of the men that were on our property. But there were a lot that weren’t on our property.
So I grabbed one of the guns and I pointed it out the window and I put my finger on the trigger. And the best thing about this gun was that it didn’t stop firing until I took my finger off the trigger or it ran out of ammo. But I had plenty more in the bag.
I started aiming at the men that were in the street, trying to sneak up onto our property.
It wasn’t too long before Jax crept over to where I was and he grabbed the other gun and went to the window that was next to me and started doing the same thing.
Those men from the street were shooting at the house, downstairs and upstairs, but they were still advancing on the house.
So we kept throwing grenades to stop them from coming. And we managed to kill a lot of them off, but some of them got through as well.
Lucas and Harry managed to take them out. But they ran out of ammo pretty quickly and it was up to Jax and I.
They wouldn’t be able to make it upstairs safely so they had to stay where they were while we took care of the rest.
Jax threw one last grenade which took out most of them and I shot out the window one last time to take out the last of them.
As soon as I stopped firing the gun, it was just as quiet as it was before they attacked.
So Harry and Lucas ran upstairs and Jax grabbed the gun he was holding and walked over to them.
He hit Harry across the face with the butt of the gun and then punched Lucas in the face.
“What the fuck do you think you’re doing? You brought those assholes straight to the house.” Jax yelled.
“They already knew where we lived. We need to pack and get out of here. As soon as dad realizes that they’re all dead, he’ll be sending more.” Lucas said.
“What the fuck is going on?” I asked.
“Go and pack. Everything you’ve got.”
“How are we meant to get out? Your cars have been destroyed and we can’t get out of the driveway unless we find some way to barge over flaming cars and dead guys.” I said.
“Don’t worry about that. We’ve got it covered. Just go and pack. We can’t come back here.” Harry said.
So I ran up the hallway and went to the top floor to where my room was.
I grabbed a suitcase and started packing everything I had in it, including toiletries and my laptop computer. I made sure that there was nothing left behind and Jax came to the door and grabbed the suitcase for me.
Lucas had wiped all of the surveillance tapes and Harry had cleaned out all of the armory that we had in the basement.
I went back to my room where I grabbed my dagger and I shoved it in the back of my jeans before Jax led me to the far side of the house and we went down another staircase that I had never seen before.
He pushed on the wall and it opened up without a door handle and we stepped through the passage until we got to a garage that I also didn’t know was there.
It was full of cars that hadn’t been touched by the recent barrage against the house and pretty soon Lucas and Harry joined us.
Lucas got in the SUV with the arsenal of weapons and Harry insisted on driving with me, but Jax said no.
Jax accused them of almost getting me killed, he wasn’t leaving me alone with either of them.
Harry said that it was important that I go with him. He had something to show me. And he will drive in the middle of the other cars so they can keep an eye on him. So he doesn’t do anything stupid.
Jax was really hesitant but I assured him that I would be alright. So he kissed me before he got in the Mercedes sedan.
Harry and I got in the BMW sedan and Lucas was going to go first.
I didn’t even see a door to this garage as we got in the cars, but I saw Lucas push a button in his car and the side wall came up.
We drove out of the driveway and it led to a side road that went behind the house and came out to a different street and then the wall closed behind us.
“Alright. You wanted to get me alone. What the fuck is going on?” I asked.
“I found the beach house. I went there and I was taking photos of everyone that went inside the house. I saw the guy that killed my parents, so that’s when I went inside. William was already there. So, it was going to be a shitshow, no matter what happened.” Harry explained.
“Alright. What’s that got to do with me?” I asked.
“After I killed the guy that killed my parents and Izzy. I turned around and saw another man sitting there. He didn’t try to run or anything. He knew that he was caught.” Harry said, putting off the subject.
“Who was it?” I prompted. So he handed me his phone that was already opened at the photos.
I looked at it and I needed to look at it again and zoom in just so I could be absolutely sure.
“Oh my god.” I said, feeling the chills run up my whole body.
“Your dad’s still alive.” He said.
“How?” I asked.
“I don’t know. But the photos that we got from the intruder. I think he was trying to tell you that your dad was alive. He had photos of them pulling the car out of the lake and your dad wasn’t in it.” Harry said.
“My father’s alive?” I asked with a very shaky voice.
“Hey, you’re with us. We’re taking you somewhere safe. And from what we just saw, I think you are catching on pretty quickly at how to take care of yourself.” He said.
“I did that for you. I didn’t want them to kill you.” I said.
“Well, we needed it. And you didn’t freeze. You did it.” He said.
“Harry. Why would you do this?” I asked. But he turned to look at me confused.
