"But I- I didn't-" Kevin’s words abandoned him. He held his hands out in a defensive stance. Martin wasn't happy to resort to such methods to capture the man, but Anita had blown his cover.It annoyed him greatly. Before she interfered, he had planned on learning about Kevin and the people pursuing them. Now that plan was ground to dust.
"Martin! What are you doing?" Anita shouted. Normally he would ignore her, but he realized that her opinion mattered to him now. He hadn't known her long, but... he looked over to her, his resolve faltering at the sight of her terrified face.
Kevin took this small opportunity and lunged forward, grabbing hold of the barrel and pushing it up toward the roof in one swift motion. Martin's grip was weakened. Martin was annoyed that the man touched his gun.He fired it- though the bullet only shot straight through the roof and went up into the sky. The sound was deafening. Anita screamed.
Just as the shot went off, the car was jolted forward. This knocked the wind out of them. Kevin was the first to look behind and see that they'd been rear ended by a pickup truck. There were three men stuffed into the front seats, none of whom looked familiar to Kevin, but all of them held guns; aimed and poised to fire. This was no accident
He saw this as an opportunity to escape the mess he’d been dragged into.
Martin and Anita were still dazed from the impact of the truck, but Kevin hopped out of the car and moved toward the driver door of the pickup. One of the three men hopped out of the truck.He intended take a shot at Kevin. The second his feet touched the ground, Kevin lunged forward to grab the man’s gun and punched him in the face; hard enough to splinter his nose and send fragments of cartilage and bone into his brain. The force of the punch alone was enough to send him flying backwards.If puncturing his brain hadn’t been enough to kill him, smashing his skull to the ground would be.
It all happened so fast that the other two men hardly had time to react. Because the truck’s door had been left open, the man sitting in the center seat took a shot at Kevin. Kevin quickly dodged the bullet. He moved like a monkey on steroids. The man seemed taken aback by Kevin’s superfast movements, and was unable to fire another shot, before Kevin raised his stolen gun and used it to rain bullets on the remaining two sitting in the truck.
He then hopped up inside, gripped the dead man by the shoulders, and threw him out of the truck to join his other companion on the floor. Once the truck was finally under his control, he slammed the door shut.Kevin threw it into reverse, and before speeding off, opened the passenger door to throw the remaining corpse from the vehicle.
