7.

Four hours have passed since the beginning of our trip. Now we were finally getting to where Jake was supposed to be, or at least Mitch thought so.

"And he's supposed to be here? " I asked as I got out of the car.

"He should be here. " Mitch said, and we and Thomas gave him warning looks. "I know him, don't worry. He's here for sure. " Added and entered the club, and we were right behind him.

As soon as we entered, we were hit by the warmth that was inside and the loud music. Some people danced, some sat at tables and played cards, talked or drank. Or else all at once. Some also admired the women who danced in provocative clothes.

We followed Mitch trying to squeeze between people. Thomas took my hand because it was easy to get lost in the crowd, even though you followed "the supposed guide, Mitch."

"Then where is he? " Thomas asked his brother.

"Whaaat?! " Mitch asked, who clearly couldn't hear his brother's words through the loud music.

"Where the hel lis he?! " Tom asked louder.

"Ooh... "

I just sighed.

"Mitch! " We heard a woman's voice suddenly, and after a while a red-haired girl ran towards us with a drink in her hand. "I haven't seen you for a long time, what are you hiding from me? " She came up and hugged him what we were both surprised with Thomas. "You know you can't hide from me. " She added and bit her lip moving closer to older brother.

After a while, she also noticed us.

"Ooh, and this..." She came up to us.

"They're with me. " Mitch said turning to us.

"I see. " She smiled. "Ah, you..." She came closer to Thomas and put her hand on his shoulder. "You must be Mitch's brother... "

"As you can see. " Tom replied indifferently, and knocked the redhead's hand down.

"What's your name? " She turned her head and bit her lip again.

"Nat. " Mitch interjected and turned the girl to face him. "We don't have time for this, just tell me... "

"If your brother tells me his name. " Woman smiled and turned to me. "Who are you? "

"His girlfriend. " Mitch interjected again and yanked Natasha's hand. "It's Thomas and Lydia, and you know me already. " Rapp said, and she laughed.

"And you want to remember about me? "

"I reminded it and that's enough for me. " Man entered her words. "Where's Jake? "

"Why are you asking about him? "

"That's our business. " I interjected.

"Who asked you? Don't interfere, it doesn't concern you. So you better close that smiley of yours and..." She didn't finish, because Mitch knocked her glass from her hand, which broke after a second and tugged her hand a lot harder.

"Watch your words. Or you'll soon know that all the things they say about me, will turn out to be true." He growled at which the other froze. She wanted to defend herself somehow, but Thomas wouldn't let her.

"Where's Jake? " He repeated the question.

Girl swallowed and pointed to the table in the corner, then looked at Mitch to let her go, and when he did, she ran away in the blink of an eye.

"Well..." Mitch shrugged. "It was quite easy. " Added and looked at us.

"Easy? " I asked.

"Whatever. " He waved his hand and moved towards the table indicated earlier.

Thomas and I exchanged glances and followed his brother.

"What are you planning? " Thomas grabbed his brother by the arm.

"Retrieve the flash drive and save Lyds mom, what do you think? " Looked at him.

"What are you up to with Jake?" Tom corrected and shook his head in disbelief.

"Oh..." Brother glanced at the table. "Watch and learn. " Added and moved on, and we followed him.

After a few seconds we were almost at the table when suddenly Mitch shouted:

"Yo! Roberts!" He called, and when Jake looked at Mitch, he froze. "Hey there, thieves friend! " Mitch walked towards him, to which the man chased the girls around him away and started running.

"As usual..." Older Rapp sighed. "Tommy, get him. " He said and followed Jake.

It took Thomas a moment to realize it and he followed the fugitive, and I was right behind him.

"From behind! " Tom called.

After a few moments of chasing, we chased him to the back door, and when he wanted to escape it, he ran into Mitch and he shouted like a woman.

"What's wrong with you, huh? " Mitch took him by the tailcoats and slammed him against the wall. "Are you hiding from me? " He pushed him into the wooden boxes, which after a while fell on Jake. "Oh, not nice, Jake... Not nice. "

Jake was quite fat. He had short, almost gray hair and a little stubble on his face. He was wearing a white T-shirt and over it a yellow checked shirt and navy blue jeans.

"Mitch, I swear that..." Fat man began, but he didn't finish because Mitch took him by his tailcoats again and pressed his face against the wall.

"Now you swear, huh? " Mitch snapped.

"Where's the flash drive? " Thomas interjected.

"What flash drive? " Man asked, but he immediately regretted it, because the older brother twisted his arm and pressed the traitor against the wall tighter, and the other screamed again.

"Don't pretend! " Mitch shouted in his ear. "You sent those guys on me to kill me, and you took the pendrive yourself! I ask one last time: Where's it?! "

"I don't know, I swear..." Roberts said, almost crying.

You can't mess with Mitch. It was true. After a while, Rapp broke his arm, and I closed my eyes, unable to look at it.

"As you can see, my brother is not patient. " Thomas walked over to them. "It was a warning. Now's your last chance" He said, and at that moment Mitch took out his gun and put it to man's head.

"Where - is - flash drive? " Thomas repeated more slowly.

But the other one didn't answer, so Mitch shot right above his head, which made me jump and the other screamed in fear.

"Okay, okay..." Jake begged through his tears. "I'll tell you everything, just let me go! "

"So... Talk! " Mitch yelled and tossed him to the ground.

Jake leaned against the wall and looked down at us.

"And who is this young lady? " He changed the subject, which he regretted again, because Thomas slapped him on the head. "Okay, okay! " He begged.

"Talk, or you won't see dawn. " Older brother said, and reloaded his weapon.

"Okay, just don't kill me... "

"Talk! " Tom shouted.

"Okay..." He raised his good hand and put it back down after a while. "I admit I took the flash drive, but I don't know where it is... I was just gonna deliver it to some kind of Bucho. "

"Bucho? " I asked.

"Yes, that's his nickname. Perhaps he works for Radcliffe. "

"Who? " I asked.

"Luke. " Thomas explained and I just nodded.

"But maybe and not necessarily..." He continued.

"What do you mean? " Younger brother asked.

The fat man held out his hand for cash.

"Forget it. " Mitch said right away. "The only thing you can get is your life, but with each passing moment it comes into question. " He added and aimed his weapon at the fugitive, on which the other one leaned his head against the wall in fear and stared at him. "Then, you better talk. "

"O-okay..." Fat man stuttered. "I mean, Bucho can use a flash drive. In a sense, he might just want it for himself or he would just give it to Radcliffe for money. I don't know what he might be up to, but he's definitely as dangerous a guy as you are." He said looking at Mitch. "Maybe even worse. " Added hesitantly.

"Worse? " Mitch laughed. "Nobody can beat me. "

"True. " Thomas replied and Mitch looked at him but said nothing.

"Perhaps..." Jake interjected. "Although the only thing that can beat you, can be, for example, a bullet... " He added, and we looked at each other and suddenly we heard shots.

Thomas immediately pulled me closer to him and made me crouch down.

We hid with Roberts in the back.

"You bastard! " Rapp growled and rose to his feet only to shoot the traitor even despite his pleas.

I glanced that way, but Tom turned my head to his side so I wouldn't have to look at it.

"He wouldn't tell us nothing more. " Older brother said immediately when he caught my eye. "We have to get out of here. "

"Good idea. " His brother said.

We got up and walked towards the back exit, but of course that would be too easy. Behind the door we saw more guys with guns.

"Turn back. " Mitch said and turned us around.

"No way out, we have to go this way. " Thomas said.

"Time to use the gun, little brother. " Mitch smiled. "You've used it before. " He added and ran into the very center of the brawl.

I looked at Thomas uncertainly.

" You've used it before. "

Thomas said nothing, just took the gun from his belt and reloaded it

"Stay close to me. " He said and I nodded and after a while we chased Mitch towards the fight.

The bullets whistled overhead. There was blood and dead bodies everywhere.

I just turned around just as Natasha hit the ball in the head and fell dead on the stage. Her killer shot five more times in her chest. The sight was really terrible.

"Rapp! " One of them shouted. Seems their commander.

"Which one?! " Thomas and Mitch asked simultaneously.

Mitch hid behind one of the couches, and Thomas and I hid behind the overturned tables.

"Both of you! " Man shouted.

"So we're listening! " Mitch replied. "Talk quickly because I want to kill you! "

"Okay, so I'll try as quick as possible! " Enemy laughed. "Give up and give back the flash drive! Then perhaps we'll give you a quick and less painful death. " He added at which his people laughed.

"I have a better idea! " Thomas interjected.

"What?! "

"And so that you shut your poisonous mouth!" Tom snapped, and at that moment Mitch stood up and shot the commander in the head.

After a while Thomas got up and they both started firing before the others had time to figure out what was going on.

I just curled up and covered my ears with my hands against the roar of shots. After a while, Thomas took my hand and the three of us ran out of the club to the car to get as far away as possible.
