Chapter 23
Everything seem to have been moving in slow motion.
Nick opened his eyes.
He looked down at himself.
No bullets.
He looked up just in time to see Mr. Big fall down flat on his face with a blank expression.
Nick looked over toward the open door of the trailer that was now bent and broken from the tumble down the hill.
There stood Ashley, Michelle’s best friend, with a gun in her hand. Nick couldn’t believe his eyes. He then looked back in the direction of Mr. Big who was now dead after Ashley shot him five times: In his neck, the side of his head, twice in his stomach and once in his arm.
Selena looked at Ashley in shock not knowing who she was. She then looked in the direction of Nick who was now rising up to his feet.
Nick kicked the gun out of Mr. Big’s hands and walked over toward Ashley who was still aiming the gun at Mr. Big. Nick held out his hands as he walked cautiously toward Ashley.
Ashley was still pulling the trigger however no more bullets were coming out. She was trembling with tears in her eyes.
“Ash?” Nick said calmly as he walked closer to her. “It’s over. He’s dead.”
“That asshole murdered my cousin Vinny in cold blood. And Michelle got shot.” Ashley began to cry.
Nick slowly lowered her arm and took the gun away from her hand. He tossed the gun to the floor, and pulled Ashley into a hug as she cried hysterically on his shoulder.
Selena lowered her head back down on the floor of the trailer and quietly cried wondering where Jaylen could be now that Mr. Big was dead and not able to tell her.
Nick pulled Ashley away and asked, “What about the guys he was with? Where are they?”
“Mr. Big was only traveling with two other guys. They’re both dead. They both were in the cab of the truck. I shot one in the passenger seat, and then by me running them off the road, the other is dead, slumped over the wheel.”
“We need to get out of here.” Nick said as he looked back at Selena wondering if she were okay.
He rushed over toward her. “Sel? Are you okay?” he helped her to her feet. Nick took off his tshirt and helped Selena to put it on over her head and wear it since his shirt would be bigger and cover up her body more.
Once Selena put on his tshirt, Selena asked in her hoarse voice, “What about Jaylen? How do we know where Jaylen is?”
“Don’t worry. I gave a tip to the police where Big had Jaylen. I was following Big ever since he gunned down that detective near the hospital. Some crooked cops helped Mr. Big to gun down that detective. He then took you guys to a truck stop. He left Jaylen there with some lady that I guess was working for him. I called the police and told them when I saw Mr. Big and his two minions take off in this truck. But I wanted Mr. Big. I wanted to make sure he was dead for murdering my cousin Vinny.” Ashley said as she started sob. “So, I drove you guys off the road in my car.”
Nick nodded at her as if quietly telling her thank you. He continued to hold Selena close to him in his arms as they all hopped off the back of the truck's trailer.
As if on cue, they heard police sirens close by coming to their rescue.

Nick sat in the ambulance with Selena holding her hand as she laid on a gurney sitting up.
Ashley stood outside of the ambulance speaking with more police officers.
More police cars were slowly arriving on the scene.
Nick turned his attention to the police cars that just arrived, and saw a uniformed female officer carrying Jaylen in her arms. Nick hopped up and rushed off the back of the ambulance and ran to Jaylen.
Jaylen reached for Nick and wrapped his arms around Nick’s neck. Nick embraced him with a smile. “Hey buddy! Im glad you’re okay.” Nick calmly said with relief once he realized Jaylen was perfectly fine.
“I want mommy.” Jaylen whined.
Nick smiled and walked back toward the ambulance where Selena was still inside. He hopped back inside the back of the ambulance and placed Jaylen into her arms. Selena cried as she hugged Jaylen tightly. She kissed him multiple times and held him close as she closed her eyes cherishing the moment.
“Nick!” a familiar male’s voice called out to Nick.
Nick turned his head and saw his dad rushing toward him with a worried expression.
The police had notified Nick’s dad and told him about the danger Nick was in. Nick was overwhelmed with joy to see his dad. He thought he would have never seen him again. He rushed off the ambulance and walked toward his dad.
His dad walked up to him and gave him a hard hug as he embraced him tightly with tears in his eyes. “You gotta stop doing this to me.” His dad said quietly with the sound of relief in his voice as he continued to hold him tight in his arms.
“I love you, dad.” Nick said tearfully.
“I love you, son.”
