Russian Roulette, B Sherif [great novels .txt] 📗

he can get out Michael stabs him 3 times. I see my dad doing that and I'm actually proud that he did next thing I know I get held my the neck with a gun pointed on the side of my face and I start to yell.
"Shut up shut up before I shoot" said peter. Then the police arrives and this officer is yelling "let her go let her go."  I see Janet my dad's long time friend and lawyer. I wondered what she was doing here, she see's me and I yell her name. There's about 10 cop cars all with guns then there this guy with one pointed at me. I try to escape but his arm is around my neck and if I try to move he squeezes me tighter. "Peter please stop" my dad says.
Peter, I know that name my dad does know these men so I ask "what's going on dad how do you know these people?"
"Oh you don't know, I think it's story time says Peter. Let's see your father here.."
 "Stop I will kill you with my bare hands" my dad yells.
"Peter continues to say, your daddy here has something of mine it's a gun a Russian roulette that's why he named you Roulette because he just loves the gun. But, this gun it worth a lot of money because there is a diamond attached to it and there's a silencer, it's worth 3.3 million dollars. So, as long as your father gives me that gun or the money than you'll be free to go. And he is also a murderer."
My dad ran to Peter and tackled him and he told me to run next thing I hear are gunshots so I went on the floor as I look back to see if my father is okay I see him running and Peter chasing him. All the cops run after them, so I start to run and yell leave him alone Janet catches me and tells me to stop.
"They're going to kill him," I yell.
"They won't" says Janet.
"Is it true I ask, everything that Peter said is it true?"
 Janet looks at me in a way where she tells me yes. "You're going to find out anyways, he's been linked to 3 murders I'll be defending him" she says.
"I want to hear it from you."
" He never told me with words but I know your father, she replies.
 I look back and wonder why Janet is so calm by father is being chased by the entire cops. "Why are you calm" I asked but before she can answer I see all the cops coming back no sign of my father or Peter. One of the officers approaches me and asked if I'm okay. "I say I'm happy to be alive."
" Listen, he says I know that that's your father but do you have any idea on where he went?".
" I'm saved so why do you want my dad for? what did he do?"
 He takes a long pause before saying, 'nothing I just need to speak with him."
"I need to sit down" I say. The officer opens his car door and lets me sit on the passenger side. I'm in the car thinking on who my dad is he's not the man I thought he was, all of this happened because of him. First it's about a stupid gun and now he's a murderer. Janet walks over to me, "I want  nothing to do with him I say out loud. Janet just stands there. I continue to say, how could you even defend him for killing a person. I mean look at me look at my face all this happened because of him. She doesn't say anything. But you knew, this whole time you knew."
" No she says, I didn't know about any of this until he called me. I'm his lawyer and it's my job to defend him. I'm here right now because I wanted to make sure that you are okay."
" I'm fine" I say before getting up and walking away.
   Michael continues to run and hides between an alley full of cars. "WHERE ARE YOU?" says Peter. Peter fires his gun in all of the cars. Michael is hiding between cars and he has a clear view of Peter. Michael searches different vehicles to see which one is unlocked. After some time he finally finds one, opens the door and gets inside then he hotboxes that car and drives off very fast. Peter see's Michael and start to fire his gun again until he runs out of bullets. Peter looks for a car and hotboxes it to follow Michael.
   Both Michael and Peter are driving with excessive speed down the highway. Michael throws away the phone, wire and tracking device that he had out the window.
"Shit officer Ross says. Now we can't track him." He stops the car.
I'm standing there with the paramedic I see the guy that my father stabbed he breathing for his life he isn't dead. A few minutes later I see the cops that were chasing my father coming back and I'm thinking that my father is there with them. The officer comes out and shakes his head to this other guy who must be his boss or something. This older man than looks at me and starts walking in my direction. I look back to see if anyone is behind me but I'm the only one who is standing there.
"Hello, my name is detective Ronald but you can call me Steve" he says.
He's staring deep in my eyes I don't know why but he is, and it's kind of making me feel uncomfortable. I cross my arms.
"I see a lot of hurt in you" he says.
I look at Janet and I see that she's on the phone with someone. I look back at this Steve guy. He is still staring at me, so I stare back.
"You might want to put some ice on your face to make sure the swelling stops," he said. He then yells while still staring at me get this young lady an ice pack. "You don't say much do you."
 I'm thinking to myself will this man ever stop talking. The paramedic hands me an ice pack. I place it on my face and close my eyes. It actually feels really good. "Thanks for the ice pack" I say.
And then he starts to laugh "Ohhhh she talks."
I start to smile and says, T"hey say if you smile it`ll make you feel better, but I don`t feel better."
" I know he says, you`ve been through heck of a lot. But now you are free and you are safe. Your father has done some stuff and we just want to make sure that it doesn`t happen again. So if you have any information that would really help us."
" I don`t know where he is I've been saying that all day no I`ve been saying that since that day I got kidnapped so please leave me alone now, and oh by the way if you send one more of your men to ask me that same god damn question I will disappear and if you think it was hard looking for my dad you have no idea how hard it`ll be looking for me." Then I walked away.
   Peter continues to chase Michael on the highway. Michael makes a sharp right turn and exits the highway he finds a ditch and crashes the car. He gets out and starts running. He looks back and see's that he lost Peter. He gets into this shed. Michael knows this place he has a box which contains a hat, cell phone, a gun and extra clothes. He changes into them. Michael then grabs a phone and dials Janet's number.
" Hello" she answers.
"Hey its Michael."
" Michael where are you she said angrily. The whole country to looking for you."
" I'm going to turn myself in I just need to make sure that Peter can't find me or he doesn't hurt my daughter."
Janet looks at Roulette, "she' fine, she's just upset at the moment but just come back".
"She hates me, my own daughter hates me now she says."
" At the moment she hates everybody but that's called being a teenager" says Janet.
Shots get fired Michael hears it over the phone. Michael yells, "JANET, JANET, JANET," but she doesn't answer. All Michael hears it screaming and gunshots. He runs back to the car tries to move it but the car won't because its trapped in some mud. Michael than goes on the free way and waits for a car to come. He see's a car coming so he starts to wave but he can see that the car isn't going to stop so he decides to pull out his gun. The driver stops then car and is begging for his life. He pulls out the driver aggressively and gets in to drive back to the house where Janet and Roulette are.
As Michael is there he see's Janet sitting on the floor with the paramedics and Officer Ross. Michael says, "don't shoot,"
Officer Ross pulls out his gun and says "get on the floor!"
 Michael continues to say "don't shoot I didn't want to go but I had to I just want my daughter to be safe."
 Officer says "yeah that's why you pulled out your wire and threw your phone away" as he arrested Michael.
"He took her Michael Janet cries he took her again!"
Michael's phone rings. "You had a phone?" officer Ross asks.
"I just got it that's why I ran to get this phone, explained Michael. Please let me answer it."
"Fine officer Ross says but I'll be recording it."
Michael picks up the phone and doesn't say anything. On the other line it's Peter and he says. Michael, "I am very disappointed in you, I really thought you were going to give me what I wanted."
 "I was but I didn't have it on me that's why I ran to get it" replies Michael.
" I don't believe you, you stabbed Oliver" says Peter.
"I had to make it look like that I wasn't on your side, I needed the cops to think that so I could run away, I'm arrested they never released me. I'm not going to let them think that I have something of yours," said Michael.
"Well, how do I know that you aren't working with them now?"
"I ran away and you saw that."
"I have your daughter Michael, so one more screw ups, or any sudden movement to make me think that you are on their side or are trying to miss with me. I'll kill her."
"Don't you dare touch her Michael says angrily."
" Then give me back what's mine and nobody gets hurt" Peter says.
"Alright, I'll go and get it, but if there is a scratch on my daughter I'll kill you."
 Peter starts to laugh and says "meet me in our usual spot in 1 hour."
 Michael looks around with a strange look on his face. He then looks to Officer Ross and says, "I don't have what he wants and my daughter is going to die in an hour."
Janet pulls Michael to the side. "Are you kidding me she says, your daughter's life is on the line and you care about keeping your precious gun?"
" No Janet I mean I have the gun it's just not on me right now and to get it it's going to take me more than an hour" Michaels said.
"Then call him back and tell him that."
" I have another gun that looks identical to the one that Peter wants."
"OMG Janet screams that is all you care about, all you care about is keeping that gun and not saving your own daughter, your own innocent daughter." Janet cries.
"I just don't want him to have it I know the price I have to pay Janet I know that I'm not questioning her life but I need you to understand
