.The room fell silent then as Angelo looked at each one of them again, but with a different light in his eyes before he finally turned to Ruiz.“Alright, I’ve had enough of this game.I just want my money.”“You’re going to have to ask the police for that,” Ruiz spoke moving backwards to stand in the middle of the room, just a hand reach away from Melody.She was tempted to reach out and touch him but she stayed put.“Anthony, you told me he has it?” His words were soft spoken, but lethal.Anthony vaulted out of his chair, his eyes wide with fear.“Of course he does! He’s made it that he’s the only signatory to the new account.If not, we could have taken Melody and she would have done what she was told, like she always does.”Loraine squeezed her hand, but Melody refused to look at her to see the question in her eyes everyone else probably had.She wasn’t proud of how spineless she’d been then and she wasn’t willing to discuss it with anyone.“Or we could have taken him and he would have done what we asked, especially with a gun to his head!” he yelled.Angelo brushed at his lapel with his knuckles at invisible dust.“Then you must not know Ruiz very well.He doesn’t do what he doesn’t want to.Damn stubborn with a gun to his head.”Melody couldn’t believe how proud Angelo sounded.Ruiz just stood there like a statue, staring blankly at the man who’d insisted on calling him son.“And what new account? You never told me about a new account.”Anthony’s mouth open and shut several times, nothing coming out, his feet shifting restlessly under him.His panic would have been funny if not for the crazed look that was slipping into his eyes.“The new account has his money.I want my money.”Anthony stuttered again no words coming out of his mouth.“Clarissa, this isn’t what you promised me.”What? Ha! Melody always knew the woman was a two timing witch!Clarissa just sipped at her flute not even bothering to answer, but her contempt was clear as she stared at Ruiz.Anthony tried to speak again to no avail and his completely crazed eyes shifted around the room as he span aimlessly around like he was looking for a way out besides the one Angelo had his back to.Then his gaze landed on Allan and he went very still, his lips slowly rising into a snarl.“You! This is all your fault!” He reached behind him and pulled out a hand gun.Melody dropped her flute and her hand went to her mouth to keep herself from screaming.She was sure she was seriously going to loose it when Ruiz took a step to the side, completely shielding Allan from Anthony’s line of sight.“Put that down before you hurt yourself,” Ruiz said with a very bored tone.Melody squeezed Loraine’s hand tight when Anthony stomped to Ruiz and pressed the gun to his chest.The entire time Ruiz didn’t move even an inch back.He didn’t even bat an eyelash he just stared at Anthony—not the gun—like he was a nuisance.“Aren’t afraid of guns ha? Maybe we should test that.”“Do that and I’ll drop you right where you stand, Anthony.” Melody’s eyes swung to Angelo.He had a wicked grin on his lips, his eyes gleaming with something dangerous as he stared at Ruiz.“He’s no use to me dead, but you should point that gun where it would hurt the most.” Ruiz’s eyes shifted then and collided with his, but his face remained expressionless.Anthony’s eyes widened and he stuck half his tongue out and licked around his lips.He laughed and nodded vigorously.“Si, si!”He took a step back, separating the gun from Ruiz’s chest.Melody only had a moment to lower her hand and take a deep breath before she froze.Anthony turned quickly and she found herself face to face with the silver barrel of a gun.“His little sister and this dog’s wife,” he swung to the other side pointing the gun at Riana, “His precious wife and this dog’s baby sister.Decisions, decisions.”Melody looked up at her brother as she struggled to catch her breath.His jaw was clenched tight and his eyes yelled murder, but when she looked at Ruiz, he just stood there his hands palm open at his sides, his face completely expressionless.Melody’s and Riana’s eyes met.Anthony swung back and forth between Riana and Melody and each time her heart picked up tempo.Scared, truly scared wasn’t the word to describe what she felt, what she saw in her sister-in-law’s eyes.“No, I can’t shoot Riana, the star of all my fantasies.I’ll take her away with me instead.And Melody, she was such an obedient wife.I’ll show my gratitude by sparing her.I have a better idea.Where is my little Esme?”“No!” Melody screamed jumping to her feet.That got her all his attention.Anthony reached for her, but his hand was grabbed out of the air and twisted behind his back.Ruiz moved so fast, she was sure no one noticed until he had Anthony’s twisted arm between his back and Ruiz’s chest.He tried to jerk out of Ruiz’s hold several times to no avail and he screamed his frustration.“Don’t do it.He’s setting you up,” Ruiz warned through clenched teeth.“Merde! Let me go or I swear I’ll start shooting!” he threatened, swinging the arm with the gun around.“Go on Anthony, show him how serious you are!” Angelo yelled [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
