As we head deeper into the forest, I stop and hide behind a tree while still holding Angela's hand. I pull out an AMT Automag for me and hand a Glock 42 to her.

"Be careful," she says grabbing the gun.

"It is you that I am worried about," I say looking at the gun in my hands. I flip my hand and look at the watch on my wrist. I look at the compass feature and start walking northwest towards the Russians. After a couple of minutes we spot the house and I quietly whisper into the ear piece, "Gio, Stefano. Bring the men with the Snipers first and a few soldiers."

"Copy that," Stefano says back.

In a couple of minutes the sharp shooters and a group of soldiers appear and hide in the positions we had planned out previously.

"Nicholas, over here. It is a better angle," I say pointing to a near-by tree.

After waiting in the bushes again for a good 10 minutes the Russians rotate their positions. Before they are properly in their spots I yell, "FIRE!"

The air is filled with the sound of multiple guns going off. In front of us a few soldiers have taken cover, while other ones are lying in pools full of their own blood.

Soon a large crowd of Russians start pouring out of all the exits of the house, just as I expected them to. I nod to Gio signaling to put the plan into action.

My father taught me about the Russians. They protect the Dom like you protect the king in chess, which is the reason I have men set up with snipers. Father also told me the closer you get to the "King" the greater the security increases, as you would do in chess. The men that they place at the outside are good marksmen but they do not think like the ones closer to the Dom. I look closely at the Russian men in front of me, they stand in sort of rows directly in-front of the Dom's window. I spot the man furthest away from us, aim and shoot his directly in the middle of his chest. Father also taught me the man furthest away leads the "pact" so now they are leader-less. Like a chicken with no head.

My men start wiping out some more of the Russians, while they attempt to shoot back. But since we are hiding behind the trees they miss most of their shots.

I look around and stop Angela crouching down behind a tree. She swiftly turns to her left, closes one of her eyes and shoots one of the Russians dead. Then I quietly hear her say "1."

"I will show you how it is done, Alfanso," I whisper into the earpiece.

She turns towards me and playfully flips me off before moving to the other side of the tree.

I quickly turn to face the Russian's house and Spot the Dom looking out the window.

"Nickolas, SHOOT!" I yell at my best sniper.

Nickolas quickly aims and shoots but the Dom quickly moves so he is shoot in the arm instead.

"Fuck," he yells.

"I will get him."

A Russian soldier aims his gun towards me but before he can get a good shot, I jump through the air and shoot him in the middle of his forehead.

"1," I whisper.

As I am about to run into the house, I see a man with a gun held against Gio's head. I lift my gun and aim, perfectly hitting the Russian in the middle of his chest.

"2," I continue.

I start running towards the house. Men start shooting and so do I.

"3, 4," I say aggressively.

With adrenaline pumping through my veins, I feel stronger, more awake then before. Out of the corner of my eye, I see a slim figure running towards.

The figure and I both jump into the bush at the same time. Without a moment of hesitation, I place the barrel of my gun against their head.

"Mateo," I hear her say.

"Shit, Angela," I say lowering the gun.

She starts reloading the gun and so do I. I shoot a Russian woman with the Russian tattoo and turn to tell Angela got another one, but I am met with leaves and branches and her gone.
