the microphone standing next to Mahina and Gino.
âWe been with Mahina, and Gino, since we were younger.â Willow turned to them and smiled. âThey are the only family me and my sister, Kail, know and we really want to give them something special to show our appreciation. Especially for all that theyâve done for us. So Mahina, Gino, if you two and the rest of our extended family,â she said, referring to all of The Pink Lip Bandits, âcould follow me and Kail to the back room, we have a surprise for you.â
âThis is going to be good,â Mahina said as she approached the microphone. âDonât worry; we will share with you guys when we return of what it was.â
Kail stood up as they all headed to the back room of the venue. Kail smiled as Ginoâs normal security that followed him everywhere stood still. She had paid them double not to hear or see anything, and it was money well spent. She knew Gino wouldnât notice because of his intoxication.
Willow closed the double doors of the back room as Kail stood next to her. This was it, this was the moment they had been waiting for, and this was justice for their mother.
âOkay, you guys,â Kail sashayed over to the light switch, âclose your eyes and donât open them until we tell you to.â
They all obliged as the lights went off. Kail tossed Willow the night vision goggles that she had stashed there the night beforeas darkness filled the room. They pulled out their guns as they saw their targets in a optic green color.
âSurprise, motherfuckas,â Kail screamed as she aimed and shot, starting with Mahina and Gino. Willow joined as a stampede of bullets filled the air.
An eerie silence took over the room as the bullets stopped. Willow and Kail checked pulses with their guns never leaving the aiming position. They had hit heads and hearts, so they knew no one should have been left breathing.
âYou ungrateful bitches.â Mahina panted as she crawled toward the door, her nails breaking in the beautiful marble floor as she pulled her weight. âAfter I took you in, this is how you repay me. Fuck you.â
âNo, fuck you, bitch,â Kail said as she stood over Mahina, âand your unborn bastard child. See you in hell.â She released two rounds to the back of Mahinaâs head.
âHello,â a voice called out from the entrance of the room, âUncle Gino?â
âWho the fuck is that?â Willow asked with a whisper.
âI donât fucking know.â Kail hissed as the lights flashed on.
Melee stood there as her eyes adjusted to the lights. Tears filled her eyes as she looked around the room at the massacre that had taken place only minutes earlier. She dashed for the door when two guns filled her view, pointing directly at her.
The bullet came at the speed of light. Everything started moving slowly around Melee as a pressure forced through her back, exiting her chest. She fell forward, her eyes rolling around in their sockets as a strange feeling of unusual pain took over her. Her lungs produced two more breaths for her until her vision went completely dark. She was dead.
âLetâs go.â Kail tossed the goggles and headed toward the emergency exit.
Willowâs eyes looked at the beautiful woman as blood flowed out of her mouth onto the buffed floor. Willow saw herself in the woman as her lifeless body lay frozen with a bullet inside of her that wasnât meant for her.
âWillow,â Kail shook her out of the trance, âin and out.â
âI know,â she said as she walked toward the entrance of the room. âIâll meet you outside in five minutes. I forgot my clutch.â
âLeave it and come on,â Kail suggested.
âIâll be right out.â Willow disappeared through the doors.
Willow eased through the crowd as she saw her clutch from afar. She leaned over the table and picked it up as an
