Chapter 15: Resistance
“This is the DEA unit, come out with your hands up and nobody will get hurt” I heard a man voice coming from the staircase. That voice made me shiver and I ran besides James looking for some comfort. When we went to sleep last night, we never imagined that something like that would ever happen. They sure took us unaware.
“My name is Edward Cullen and I want to negotiate your submission and surrender. You guys only have two choices and I won’t go to explain it again. Number one: surrender pacifically and this show ended here. Number two: we will go for you, and probably someone is going to get hurt or even die. It all depends on you now” he said.
Edward Cullen sounded so calmed and demanding that I was absolutely positive that any time soon, the door will flight away and they were coming after us. James was smoothing my hair and comforting me. I was sure, that night wasn’t going to have a happy ending for any of us. James was silent by my side, his brows frowned, and I was worried about his thoughts. He was planning something, something bad for him because I knew that James wasn’t going to surrender and get apprehended by those police officers without giving them a good fight and even more… give Edward Cullen the privilege to be him who caught James Rogers... Never.
Jacob voice boomed inside the room we were hiding, he was screaming to Edward and his filthy dogs, poking his head a little outside the door.
“I chose number two you fucking bastards!! Come and get us, if you dare to do so, fucking bitches!! We have enough weapons and ammunitions here to give you fuckers a proper fight…” he shouted.
Sam looked at him eye wide and I started to cry. I was beyond frightened at this point by our unfavorable situation and any provocation to them coming from us… was a really unnecessary and dangerous move.
“No!! Don’t provoke them Jacob!! Don’t do it, please!!” I begged him to stop playing the brave with them. They’re probably more than 60 people out there and we were only 4 of us here cloistered. Definitely, we needed to surrender.”
“I am trying to distract them Victoria, so that James can escape from here” Jacob whispered, he was hoping that James could escape out of our house and save him to get caught by the police from this raid. Jacob was really loyal to him. He preferred his own death before seen that James got capture by the police. James let his arm go from my shoulders and let us know his decision with stern determination in his voice.
“Jacob, I cannot escape and we both know it. I think the house is surrounded but if is not, that is almost impossible for me to do. Don’t worry about me; let’s just see how Victoria can escape from here. She is my main priority and the only thing that matters to me now” he said looking at me. I stumbled to the floor; more tears were running down my face.
“No!! No!! No!!... I won’t move a foot from this fucking house without you James, I will stay no matter the consequences” I said clenching my fist on his shirt. He looked at me apologetic but a small smile showed on his face.
“Listen to me Victoria” he grabbed me by the arms and my body shook under his hands, “You gotta get outta here, NOW!!” James said and he pushed me through the room window. I kicked and fought with all my power to remain inside, but it was almost impossible because James was stronger than I was. I wasn’t prepared to let him die, no that night, not without me.
“I said no James!! Please! There’s no way I will let you stay here… please James… please!!” I begged him, trying to make him change his mind. I knew him better than that.
“Fuck Vic!! Leave…Victoria... this is not your time to die baby; you have to go. Do it for me. Move now!” he said. I still wasn’t moving.
“Victoria, just fucking do it!! There’s no time!!” I heard Jacob shouted me behind James; his back leaned on the door.
“I swear I will look for you” and he kissed me.
At that moment I knew that was the last time I was going to see him alive. In the distance, I heard Jacob in a discussion with Edward Cullen once again.
I went out through a window and jumped to a small roof above me. I stayed there for a second; waiting to see of someone heard the sound my body made when I jumped. I ran as fast as I could. Fear and sorrow was all that was running to my veins, filling my already broken heart. My body felt numb but I continued running to save my life. A few minutes later I found some bushes behind the house and I hid there. I didn’t want to get too far from the house. From where I was hiding, I still could know what was happening in my house and with my James.
What I heard next changed my life forever. All I could hear was bullets and shouting coming from the inside of the house. With both hands on my ears, I prayed God to save James, to not let him die.
“Why James? Why?!” and I started to cry…
“If you don’t surrender, we will go hunt for you, god damned” I could hear this fucking annoying and booming voice coming up the stairs. Who the fuck he thought he was? God dammed!
“I’m anxious to see how you do it, motherfucker!! I’m so fucking waiting for you here!!” I shouted back at him. “C’mon motherfucker, bring it on!!”
“Wait to see what happens when I grab you by the neck you fucking asshole… Surrender!! Now!!” he shouted back. That wasn’t Edward’s Cullen voice. This voice was more booming and louder than his was. Fuck, maybe that’s Emmett Cullen. Wait to see fucker… I looked over my shoulder to James and he was kneeling under the window that Victoria used to escape, watching her in the distance. I waved my hand at him and he came to me.
“James we are unable to communicate with Jasper or Rosalie, my phone doesn’t work. We don’t have any other distractions and we are running out of bullets, what should we do now?” I asked James and he just frowned. We both knew that our lives were in imminent danger.
“We have to fight back Jake. There’s no other option and either a way to escape without being seen, at least for us. I don’t want to get caught by fucking Cullen and be taken to a miserable jail to spend the rest of my life there. I prefer to die first” James told me.
James couldn’t die here; I had to make sure of that. I won’t let my friend die on those bastards hands. I had to think of something quickly. We were running out of time.
“Where the fuck is Sam? We can use him as a human shield so we can get to the room down the hall. That room is the safest place of the house” I said looking for Sam, I knew that he was hiding around here somewhere.
I found him hidden in a corner of the room behind a night table.
“Come on!!… Now is the time to let us know how committed you were with the organization. Take this gun, get out the door and try to negotiate with them” I ordered, then I grabbed him by his arm and made him get off the ground he had been seated. I saw his lips trembling in fear. But someone had to die first… and for sure, it wasn’t going to be James or me.
“But Jake, I… I” Sam protested but I pushed him right in front of the room door.
“Open it... OPEN IT!” I shouted at him.
“Do what Jacob had told you Sam… now!! For your own fucking good” James drew his weapon and aimed at him.
“Get out Sam, there’s no other option for you” I said.
When Sam walked towards the door and reached the doorknob, I did signs to James to follow me. We waited until Sam poked his head out of the door. When I saw Sam leaving the room, James passed by my side and ran. I quickly went at his back and stated to shoot.
A rain of firing shots deafened my ears for a moment. We ran towards the other room, yanked the door open and immediately close it behind me. As we ran, we saw Sam’s body thrown lifeless in the middle of the hallway and a contingent of police officers surrounding him.
“He is dead” someone shouted.
“We got a 10-7… one suspect down…” someone else shouted.
I closed the door as we ran inside.
“Sam is dead” I told James punching the door with my bare fist. Hints of blood and wood sprinkle my shirt, but I couldn’t feel pain. I was worried to death for our lives at this point.
“We have to escape or wait for them here and die. There’s only you and me now, comrade” James said “Thank you for your trustful friendship” he said patting my back.
“You have to escape James; I’ll stay here to fight those fuckers. You have to look for Victoria, I don’t have someone to look for and…” but James interrupted me.
“No Jake… promise me that you are going to look for Victoria and please tell her that I will always love her. I leave money for her in our account in Switzerland, actually there’s enough money for the two of you. Find her Jacob and tell her I will always be with her” James told me. And I had to do it…
“Are you sure about this?”
“I’m prepared. Do it as I told you Jake” We shake our hands.
“Ok… I promise man, you have my word” I said.
“I knew that someday something like this was going to happen… I’m prepared to die” James said reloading his rifle and heading to the back of the room.
“I am done with this shit!! I’m tired of it!! We’re going for you!!” Edward shouted.
I jumped out the window and I ran to the forest as fast as I could.
I couldn’t see any police officers around my way of escape. They were distracted. They were hunting James. I hid in the thickets and waited to catch my breath. I was almost hyperventilating when a sudden burst of gunfire filled the air. I started to run again, but by now I was sure that James had died.
The question was… where I would find Victoria? That’s supposed a problem for me, but first I realize that I needed to get the fuck out of there.
Morning light caught me unaware of what had happened last night in the house. I knew that maybe Edward Cullen had noticed that two of us had managed to escape and they were looking for us in the woods right now. I jumped from my hiding and start running again. There wasn’t any sound or movement around me. Then I saw the road and a small restaurant across the street. I fixed myself and looked for money in my back pocket. I needed change so I could call Jasper and Rosalie. I entered the place and nobody noticed me getting in. They were playing their attention to the old TV in the up right corner of the wall. All of them were waiting for the news to start on the TV.
“Where’s the phone?” I asked to an old lady besides me.
“There, near the bathrooms young man” she answered back.
“Thanks”
I took the phone and called Jasper; I wait for him to pick up and as I waited for his answer I started to watch closely at the news. Suddenly he answered.
“Jazz, something went terribly wrong in the house last night” I was almost whispering.
“Damn it! I fucking sawthe news this morning. Don’t worry, I’ll be there shortly” I briefly tried to explain him where I was and he hung up.
Edward Cullen was explaining all the confrontation to the newsman. “We now that some members of this band escaped from the raid last night. We ask the citizens to cooperate with the local police department with leads that take us to arrest these dangerous people” he continued talking.
I took a sip of a beer that I ordered while I was listening to the TV and murmuring just as the others did. Twenty minutes later, Jasper took me out of that hell place. I told him everything what happened the night before and he was clutching his hands on the steering wheel. We picked Rosalie up and then we headed to the airport. They decided to stay far to move aside from the Cullen’s. I decided to go to London.
“I have to look for Victoria…” I thought, rubbing my eyes with the back of my hands. I was extremely tired and this flight was long enough for me to have some rest.
“Fucking Edward Cullen, someday you have to pay for what you did. I swear with my life that you will do”
