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

baldheaded man was able to fire back at whoever was attacking us.

him.

“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.

Luke halted, and so did I. “What’s that supposed to mean?” He asked.

dead. And I just have to let you know right now, that if anyone comes shooting at us, you’re the target.
