Kidnapped by the Mafia novel Chapter 35

"Watch out from here, be on alert, there's a group of them gathered around the front."

Edward called out to us before he and his buddy started raining bullets at the main door. He gestured for more of them to follow and two of them were left behind with us as the rest of them helped him take down the men gathered near the front.

"We're safe for now, get out the door while we still can. I have no doubt that more of them are coming from the basement, just hope that the reinforcements arrive in time."

The sounds of gunshots increased as Edward kept us behind the doors. His men gathered around us, ready to dive into danger if need be.

"I've barricaded the basement door."

A new figure appearing from one of the guarded gateways announced.

"How long do you think it can hold them back?"

The man shrugged at one of his companions query.

"I'm not sure, its a metal door though so I think we can rest easy for a while."

I turned to Edward and found him glaring outside the window. His eyebrows were furrowed as he frowned at all the people outside.

"What are they doing?!"

His sudden shout drew all our eyes to him as he reloaded his gun.

"Change of plans, get to the closest safe room you can find and hide. Things aren't looking too good out there."

I gulped at his words, trying to peer out but he blocked my line of sight.

"Severus is out there."

"I'm well aware of that."

His curt response had me scowling in return, I tried to side step him but failed as he moved to block my way again.

"The police arriving just riled up the infiltrators, its a full on blood bath out there. You stepping out will only distract Severus. Do you understand what I'm saying? Or do you want to be the reason your husband looses his focus on the battlefield and gets shot?"

I shook my head quickly as he nodded, before moving us away from the door. We didn't retreat up the stairs, instead we found the closest room and hid inside. The three of us females were closer to the adjoined washroom to take cover in case an enemy decided to enter.

After what felt like ages, the sound of shooting stopped outside and I turned to Edward as he glanced back at us over his shoulders.

"I'll go ahead and check, stay on guard."

He cocked his head to the side with a sinister smile on his lips as he licked them slowly.

"So dear Donna, do you know your role here?"

I stared at him in confusion, glancing past him as someone tried to come up behind him but the other members kept him back and settled for silently glaring at 'Cobra'.

"If you do, then why is a little thing like yourself holding a gun? Surely the boss wouldn't have given it to you on his own?"

"I love you, I love you, I love you, I~"

Severus chuckled as I kissed all over his face as a silent thank you, confessing my undying love to him.

"That contradicts your earlier statement love."

"What earlier statement? Your ears must be ringing."

I responded quickly, tying the knot on his bandages tightly. He winced slightly before pulling his shirt on and rotating his shoulder to test the movement of his arm.

"Thank you love."
