The Cure Of Exchange For Anna And Myself - 868 Words

They did as I ordered and held back, many now turning their attention to Lyle in search for their next move. â€Å"Here’s the deal,† I told them now feeling I had the upper hand. â€Å"The cure in exchange for Anna and myself. There’s enough here for your people to be able to reverse engineer it and replicate it. You don’t need us any longer.† â€Å"Alright, Peter, we accept,† Lyle reluctantly agreed. â€Å"What, no, we don’t accept,† Kim sneered. â€Å"We take what we want and we’re taking the damn cure. Then, we’re taking him. And, we’re taking Anna.† â€Å"I’ll drop it, I swear,† I told her as I held the vile out precariously between my index finger and thumb. â€Å"You drop it and we still kill Anna while you watch and then we take you,†¦show more content†¦Ã¢â‚¬Å"Two,† I said. â€Å"He’s bluffing,† snipped Kim. â€Å"Am I,† I responded to her, my tone dead serious. â€Å"Alright, alright!† Lyle shouted. â€Å"Peter, you win. Someone get Anna down and out of those chains.† â€Å"But—,† Kim began. â€Å"But, nothing,† Lyle said cutting her off. â€Å"Do as I say.† Several of the Alliance members began working to free Anna, and I watched as she slowly inched her way closer to the ground. Once back on the Shed’s cement floor, a man and a woman worked to remove her from her iron imprisonment. â€Å"Alright, now she’s free. Give us the cure,† Lyle demanded. â€Å"Not until she’s safely with me,† I told him. â€Å"But, here’s what I will do. I’ll place the cure here on the ground and then I’ll back away from it. The closer Anna gets to me, the further I move away and the sooner, it’s all yours. If you or any of your goons rush us, I begin firing at you or maybe I begin firing at the cure. Do you think I’m a good enough shot to hit it? Try me and find out.† â€Å"Fine,† Lyle agreed. â€Å"Get her out of those chains already,† he ordered. Once free of the gag, Anna called out to me in that feisty, spirited charm of hers, â€Å"Peter, just shoot these mother fuckers!† she screamed. She then filled her lungs so she could speak again. â€Å"Put one right between that bitch’s eyes,† she said referring to Kim. â€Å"I should have bashed your head in like a pià ±ata when I had the chance!† Kim erupted as she responded to Anna’s threat.Show MoreRelatedImpooving Employee Performance72019 Words   |  289 Pageshelp solve this common problem.
