Quinn kept her eyes glued to Landon but kept sneaking peeks at the sky. If it got any brighter, she was toast.
Casey, after running for a bit and not seeing Landon catch up, spun around and yelled, "Don't move!"
Landon whipped his head around. Casey grabbed her gun and fired, but her aim was so bad she couldn't hit the broad side of a barn.
Landon's eyes flashed with a mix of murder and annoyance. He reached for his own gun and pointed it at Casey.
Quinn's eyes went wide. Landon's aim was no joke. Just as he raised his hand, Quinn jumped up and shouted, "Watch out!" Hearing her, Landon paused and turned to look at her.
Quinn freaked and bolted.
Landon didn't chase her. Instead, he aimed at Quinn's leg.
He pulled the trigger.
The gunshot made Quinn cover her ears and crouch down, totally freaked out.
She stared at the ground, still in shock, not sure if the shot was meant for her or Casey.
She didn't even know if she was hit.
Then a beam of light shone from the left, and Quinn slowly lowered her hands and looked over.
Landon was clutching his arm, blood oozing through his fingers. He was staring at the light too.
A motorcycle was speeding towards them.
Realizing it was probably Alexander, Landon didn't waste a second and started to run.
But he couldn't outrun the bike. In no time, the motorcycle overtook him and skidded to a stop, blocking his way.
A black gun was pointed at his forehead, and Alexander said coldly, "Why run now?"
Landon froze, his eyes scanning Alexander. Alexander looked a bit rough, his shirt wrinkled, hair a mess.
"You look pretty beat up," Landon said.
Alexander smirked, "Enough to take you down."
Landon sneered, "Don't be so sure."This is from .
Alexander's eyes flicked to Landon's arm. His gun was on the ground, and his arm was still bleeding.
Landon had almost no chance to fight back.
Alexander looked back at him and said, "Then there's nothing left to say."
Just then, Landon swung his hand. A flash of light, and a knife appeared, slashing at Alexander's wrist.
Alexander dodged, his arm dropping to avoid the slash, and he pulled the trigger.
The shot hit Landon in the gut, making him freeze for a second before reacting.
Ignoring the wound, he lunged at Alexander before he could fire again.
They both hit the ground, rolling around, with Landon aiming the knife at Alexander's eyes.
Alexander grabbed Landon's wrist with his free hand. Both of them were using all their strength, and blood from Landon's arm was soaking his sleeve. Alexander pulled a knife from his boot and slashed at Landon's neck. Landon rolled to the side to dodge, putting some space between them. Landon tried to get up but fell back down from the pain.
Alexander was in the same boat.
Both of them focused on the gun on the ground, reaching for it at the same time, each grabbing one end.
As they struggled, Landon's backup had already caught up.
Seeing this, Landon sneered, "Looks like you're done for."
"Think again," Alexander shot back.
