Chapter 22
Jessica’s eyes were shut tightly as she braced herself for a bullet to hit her head and feel the pain. Selena and Joe’s eyes were filled with shock when a bullet never came out the gun. Within a second, Selena rushed toward Joe.
Joe raised his arm and aimed the gun at Selena and pulled the trigger twice trying to shoot her but nothing came out.
In one swift move, Selena kicked the gun out of his hand and started pistol whipping Joe in the face as hard as she could. Joe fell to the ground holding the side of his face from where Selena had hit him with her gun. He looked dazed and slightly out of it. Selena looked down at him.
“Learn how to work the safety, mother fucker.” Selena said very coldly as she stood over him with her gun aimed at his head. “Don’t move!”
Joe’s face started to bleed. He decided not to move.
Still aiming her gun at Joe, Selena backed up to untie Jessica. She kept her eyes on Joe and her gun aimed at him. Selena then quickly untied the ropes and untapped Jessica's mouth with one hand.
Once Jessica was free, she hopped up and hugged Selena. “Mommy!”
“It’s okay sweetie. You’re okay now. I love you. Now, go on. Go downstairs and go out to the car and wait for me.” Selena said as she hugged Jessica back and stood up near Joe.
“No. You come with me. I won’t go without you.” Jessica said holding on to Selena’s arm.
“No, sweetie. It’s okay now. Go downstairs. Now.”
“But mom, no, come with me.” Jessica whined.
Selena raised her voice out of frustration saying, “Dammit Jessie! Go downstairs to the car right now I said!”
Jessica jumped when Selena yelled at her. She then finally ran out of the room.
As Selena finally turned her attention back to Joe, she said to him, “You. Get up, now.”
Joe smirked and sat up. But has he slowly sat up, the expression on his face was as if he was going to try and attack Selena.
This made Selena step away from him slightly. As Selena moved her right foot back, she didn’t realize Joe had wrapped his foot around her leg making Selena lose her balance. She fell backwards to the floor hard, accidentally allowing her gun to slip out of her hand and slide across the wooden floor.
Joe quickly got up and kicked Selena on her side.
Selena screamed out in pain. Keeping her eyes on Joe, she noticed he started to walk toward her gun. With a quick reflex, Selena grabbed his leg and pulled with all of her might, making him fall down, face first. At that, Selena crawled her way past Joe to get the advantage to reach for her gun. She suddenly felt Joe starting to drag her leg back towards him. They began fighting and wrestling each other trying to get to the gun. Joe would pull Selena’s hair, slam her head down on the floor, and he sometimes put her in a choke hold. However, Selena would manage to maneuver her way out of his grasp. Whenever she did, she would either kick him in the face or in his stomach, knocking him back. Once she would get a head start to reach for her gun, Joe would either drag her back or someone’s hand would accidentally push the gun further away from their reach.
During all of their fighting, the gun somehow ended up being pushed out into the hallway. Selena had been fighting Joe so hard, her hair had come out of its ponytail. Selena managed to once again maneuver herself out of Joe’s grip and slightly ran toward the gun. Just when she was a fingertip away from the gun, Joe came up behind her and pushed her hard into the rail banister. Since the house was so old, the banister easily broke away and Selena’s body went flying right thru it, falling down to the first floor landing hard on her back. Selena screamed as she went flying down thru the air. She hit the floor so hard it knocked the wind out of her. She was in excruciating pain.
With the gun in hand, and a smirk on his face, Joe walked calmly down the stairs looking at Selena as she winced in pain trying to get her breath back. Selena could barely move. She quietly moaned in pain. Her back, her bleeding forehead, and her bruised face and body was in so much pain, thanks to Joe.
Once Joe finally reached Selena, he sighed shaking his head as he looked down at her. “You know what? You remind me of my girl Tara. She too was a tough girl. I like that in a woman. You are a hell of a fighter.” He then wiped his bloody mouth with his forearm.
Selena was finally able to get her breathing back to normal and slowly tried to slide back and away from him.
“What’s up now, Detective? You fucking bitch. Got nothing to say, huh? Cat got your fucking tongue?” Joe said as he started to laugh. He then pointed the gun at Selena’s head and made sure the safety was off on the gun. He then cocked the gun saying, “Let’s see. I think I have a better chance now. The safety is officially off. See you in hell, Detective.”
Joe pulled the trigger.... there was a shot.
Selena paused and looked down at herself. She realized she wasn’t shot. She then looked back up at Joe and noticed he had a stunned look on his face.
Joe put one hand behind his back as if to feel for a bullet. As he brought his hand back around, there was blood on his hand.
Selena realized Joe had been shot in the back. Selena turned her attention upstairs and saw Mike standing slightly slumped over with a gun in his hand. Selena smiled when she saw that Mike wasn’t dead. “Mike.” She said softly.
Still in shock, Joe turned around to see who shot him. When he saw that it was Mike, Joe raised up his arm and aimed the gun at Mike. Without thinking twice, he shot fire.
As soon as he shot fire at Mike, Mike shot back at Joe, hitting him twice in the chest. Joe fell backwards toward Selena and died almost instantly.
During their exchange of firing bullets, Selena had slid out of the way curled up covering her head from the bullets flying. Once everything had quiet down, she looked over at Joe laying beside her with his lifeless brown eyes blankly staring up at the ceiling.
He had breathed his last breath.
Selena looked up at Mike to see if he was alright. Mike was nowhere to be seen. She no longer saw him standing up. Selena rose to her feet as fast as she could wincing in pain and quickly limped her up the stairs to check on Mike.
“Mike?! Mike?!” she called out to him.
When she reached the top of the stairs, she saw Mike on the floor sitting up against the wall. He looked dazed and out of it. She then saw blood seeping out onto his sweater in the upper chest area. “Oh no.” Selena whispered.
Selena dropped down to the floor beside Mike tucking her hair behind her ears. His head was still bleeding, almost gushing out, from the blow he took from Joe blind siding him. Selena quickly took off her fleece jacket. She then pulled Mike close to her where he could lay his head onto her lap. She placed her fleece jacket over his gunshot wound applying pressure to slow his bleeding. Tears started to well up in her eyes as she looked into Mike’s eyes. His eyes were in a daze as he looked up at her. He looked pale, almost death like. Selena rocked slowly back and forth as tears started falling down on her cheeks. She knew that with his head injury and gunshot wound to the chest area, he was losing too much blood.
She whispered to him, “Please, don’t you do this to me, Mike. Don’t you die on me…stay with me…stay with me… Please…oh God, not again…please.” Selena had flashes of her old partner Denzel. She didn’t want what happened to Denzel to happen to Mike.
Mike looked up in her eyes. He could barely speak, but managed to ask, “Jessie? Okay?”
“Shhhh, don’t talk. Just breathe…yes, she’s fine. Thanks to you.” Selena said as she forced a smile on her face. She then continued as tears began to flow down her cheeks, “Thank you, Mike. Thank you for everything. Now listen to me, okay? You stay with me, okay? Don’t leave me, please…please…I can’t lose you. I thought I lost you once already tonight. Im not losing you again.”
At that moment, Selena could hear police sirens coming from a distance. “See, it’s okay. Can you hear that? Jessie must have called the police from the car’s dispatcher. So hang on, baby. Help is on the way.” Selena said.
Mike put his hand on top of Selena’s hand covering his bullet wound and squeezed it gently. He then closed his eyes. Selena started to cry hysterically as Denzel flashed thru her head once again. “No, Mike! Stay with me!...Mike…dammit don’t leave me!”
Mike’s eyes remained closed. He seem to be in peace. His chest didn’t move up and down to indicate he was breathing anymore. The grip from his hand had loosened from holding her hand.
Selena leaned down and gently rested her head on his, allowing her tears to flow.
Quietly …
