27. "He wanted to save me, we can not leave him!".
-Enough-his eyebrows together in a frown.
I paused for a moment, thinking about their next steps.
-Alex, I urgently need to get out-zabasil one of the guards, well ... it's about their business, deal with it alone?
Alex chuckled in response, though for him it was easy.
Shortly behind me I heard footsteps and door slamming, we were alone. Just me and my potential killer.
The guy put the gun on the table and putting a chair in front of me and sat down.
Well, what are you gonna do? - I raised an eyebrow.
He shrugged and smiled.
-Well, let me ask one question: "Why did you want to become my friend, trying to be nice and all that, why did not immediately watch for me and not to kill? Hmm? how do you like this version? "
He rubbed his chin thoughtfully, then said seriously, approaching right up to my face:
-Maybe it's because I'm in love with you?
I was confused, what? In love?
-I want to talk about, he said quietly,-we have a little time before their arrival.
What's going on?
-I want to help you, he said quickly, Clay, and his company expected to arrive here when a very important person. She wants to meet you and then kill. Believe me, this is very serious-he untangled the rope on my hands.
Who is she and why wants to meet me?
-That's classified, but I can trust you, his eyes sparkled, and his hands quickly unraveled thick rope on my feet - everyone calls her Inara, but it has many names, all of us know little, but she's looking for you out-for what that stone ...
My breath caught, then this is the same Inara, who is looking for what Justin something dirty work ... but what kind of stone ... and why she wants me dead?
My feet and hands were free, I got up, rubbing numb wrists, when suddenly the door opened, and went into the room one of the guards.
What the hell are you doing, Skeyd?-He grabbed the gun hanging in his holster on his belt and brought it to Alex.
Without losing a second, Alex grabbed his gun lying on the table and pressed it against my temple.
-Another step, Bob, and the girl dies - sounded cold in his voice.
-You can not do this,-jokingly said Bob, but wary expression on his face did not change.
-I do not think so, he pressed the gun harder, for a second I have dark eyes.
Bob coughed and put the gun on the floor, away from it a step back.
Unfolding me back to him, Alex pushed me into the corridor that led to the back door.
What are you doing? - I whispered.
-Saving your life, seriously, he said.
He still kept me at gunpoint to "emergency door".
As soon as the door closed behind us, we were trapped.
Behind me stood near the door, Alex and Clay in front of us and his company.
Clever-you guy, Alex, did everything I asked, Clay-clicked his tongue.
I translated his eyes from the face expresses nothing Alex, grinning face on Klaya.
It was a hoax. He acted according to plan.
Carelessly pushed me into the middle of the circle, Alex guided gun at me and muttered something in a strange language, they talked a few minutes on it with Klaem.
After a couple of steps Clay was next to me. He tilting gates my cardigans, pulled the silver chain and a sky-blue stone appeared in his hands.
Spurt was so sharp that acute chain around his neck left deep scratches of which drew blood.
What are you doing? stepped-Alex-K coulomb was not allowed to touch until Inara here. What game do you play? - He stood in front of me and bored eyes misty gray eyes Klaya. The rest of his company, too, whispered angrily, but none of them dared to say anything.
-I play by their rules, Skeyd. They are much cheaper than her pendant at me, you just ask for whatever I want, and she will do it ...-he played cheekbones glancing at me.
From this view all went cold inside, I was afraid, and crouched behind the broad back Alex.
-Give her a pendant,-Alex said firmly.
-Protects?-Toxic with a grin grinned Clay, it is not worth it ...
He pushed with force Alex quickly while pulling a gun from his pocket and pointed it at me ... I held my breath ...
-Neet!,-Alex shouted, trying to escape from the grasping hands of guys who held him against the wall.
I closed her eyes, ready to accept his death, literally heard the finger on the trigger guy falls and ...
On the street side was laughter, and someone sang a verse of the song ...
Everyone turned to the side, when they heard a heavy footfall, the whole company, including me, peered into the darkness.
Because of the angle came four guys.
"They have something here that we have forgotten?"-Flashed through my head.
When aligned with our company, they diminished pace and came closer, it began to look at me, then at Clay. One of them stepped forward, his hands were hidden in black jeans.
-Release the girl - with the threat he said.
Do not what? -mimicking his tone said Clay.
Before he could finish as a fist stranger hit his jaw and the other hand, he knocked the gun. I'm holding my breath, I could not move, being in the center of events.
Asphalt shadow slipped and I looked up, found on a fragment of slate black crow karknuv he fluffed feathers and villages.
Sky,-I heard somewhere in the side of themselves hoarse voice.
Turning my head, I saw lying near the wall Alex, he held his stomach apparently someone broke it a couple of ribs.
-Come on, I said in a whisper, shaking hands - you need to get out of here.
Ahead of us started a real fight, here and there in the light of a street lamp flickered bloodied face and hands. Some lay on the pavement. Once Alex got up on us figure rushed out of the shadows, it was one of the guys that bound me. In his hand he had a knife. Before he could make a step and as a shot rang out and a pile of dead body fell to the ground. No one seemed to pay attention to it, full range of cries of pain, painful crunch of breaking bones ...
In the light of a lantern flashed silhouette, then ran up to me, he grabbed mnya hand.
-Faster, we need to get out of here until late, - whispered "savior."
I opened my mouth in surprise, no it's ... impossible ...
-So, you mean I have to protect ...
The girl nodded.
We hurried away out of here, now we have reached the rotation and I stopped and looked back ...
Alex followed us, he held on to his side, and his feet barely moving, but as he could, trying to catch.
A shot rang out and his lifeless body fell to the pavement, crying out, I ran to him. Gradually stone gray asphalt acquired dark red hue. From my eyes tears flowed, I sat next to Alex, putting his fair head on his lap.
-You will survive, Alex, you're sure to survive. I do not give up on you, tears streaming down her cheeks.
Alex tried to smile, but his face grimace in pain, and he coughed.
Sky - he croaked ...
Bending down below I sobbed, he wanted me to say something ... with great effort he moved his hand closer to me. When he opened it in the glare of a lantern flashed light turquoise stone ...
On my shoulder and turned hand fell I saw standing next to me Lila:
-We have to go, Sky, leave him alone ...
-I can not, we must do something, try to understand, he's my friend, I can not leave him here ...
-We have it than not help, quickly, she said,-he dies, Skye, went ...
-You will always be for me a friend, Alex, I'll never forget you, thank you, I took his pendant and stooping down, kissed his cheek.
Differently, he repeated, his face appeared a semblance of a smile ...
Closing her mouth I followed behind Lila, she led mnya via a footpath, on another street, where there was a black tinted car ...
When we got into it, I buckled and stared out the window, I was shaking all over, before his eyes still stood face Alex muchevshegosya pain and dying almost on my hands ...
A few minutes later we checked out of the way, leaving behind this part of town, Lila threw me a blanket and squeezed my hand, trying to like something to cheer:
-I'm sorry, Sky ...
I nodded in response, she wrapped herself in a blanket and to somehow escape, began to count the trees fall on our way ....
