47: THE HATRED IS MUTUAL

ARIEL’S POV

The second bullet came flying towards Luke, the man, and me. But it was quite a miracle that it still didn’t hit any of us. And with this, Luke and I hunkered down. More bullets came our way, and the

“Nah, I think those guys were after you, young man. Most of the bullets fired, were aimed in your direction,” the man said, turning to Luke.
