Chapter 76: Out Of Ideas

"Peter, come in! Peter come in!" The radio suddenly said.

Peter took out the radio and spoke into it.

"Hector, what is it?" He asked.

"The guards know we're here. They're all going in, and they're heavily armed," Hector said to him.

"Thanks for the heads up," Peter said.

"Have you found the girls?" Hector asked, worried about their safety.

"I just found Sharon. Chris is looking for Victoria and when we find her, I'll let you know. For now, just get the boat ready."

"Copy that!"

The radio went silent and Peter stared at Sharon, who still held Addicus at gunpoint.

"Sharon! They're coming for us. We have to go now, so if you're going to do this, you have to do it now," Peter told her.

Sharon's hand holding the gun was shaking, and she used her other hand to hold it still. Addicus was out cold after being beaten by Peter. She needed to look into his eyes before she killed him. She wanted him to know that it was her who killed him so, doing like this, with him unconscious, didn't give her enough satisfaction.

"I can't!" She said to Peter.

"Then, I'll do it!" Peter said and took out his other gun.

"No! I want to do it, but I need him to be awake. I need him to see me when he dies." Sharon explained to Peter.

"That means he's going to live for a while longer because we have to get out of here," Peter said and grabbed her hand.

They burst out the door only to be met by a few armed guards. They both ran back into the room, narrowly dodging the cascade of bullets that were fired at them.

Peter stood on the left side of the doorway while Sharon was on the opposite side.

"We're going to have to shoot our way out of here! Are you ready?" Peter asked Sharon.

Sharon nodded affirmatively, and they stepped out to shoot at the guards.

Chris threw a punch at JJ, but he blocked the attack and gave him an uppercut. Chris fell on the floor and JJ held his neck to pick him up.

Suddenly, Victoria jumped on top of JJ and tried to fight him off. He angrily threw her off him and she fell on the floor and hit her head.

JJ was distracted, so Chris used this opportunity to catch him off guard. Chris pulled out his swiss army knife and attacked JJ with it. He stabbed him on his lap and JJ screamed in pain.

Chris stood up and began landing heavy punches on him. JJ tried to fight back but his leg was hurt and he couldn't stand up straight.

Chris hit him numerous times and kicked his leg and JJ fell to his knees. Chris pulled the knife out of JJ's leg and stabbed him in the chest.

JJ stayed on his knees, grunting in pain and Chris left him to die and went over to Victoria to check up on her.

"Are you okay?" Chris asked and tried to help her up.

"Yes...I'm fine, thank you." Victoria said softly.

"We have to get out of here! Can you stand up and walk?" Chris asked and Victoria nodded.

Just then, JJ yelled out, standing behind Chris with the knife in his hand. He had pulled out the knife from his chest and now, was about to kill Chris with it.

***BOOM!***

A gunshot went off and the expression on JJ's face changed to pain and discomfort. He slowly turned around and another gunshot fired, the bullet landing in his stomach. JJ fell to his knees again and looked up at his shooter.

*It was Sharon.*

She and Peter had managed to shoot their way out of the room. They had killed several of Addicus' men and now, Sharon had JJ, his most trusted bodyguard, right in the palm of her hands.

She walked up to him with a smile of retribution on her face.

"Hello, JJ! Would you look at that? Now, you're the one on your knees staring at the barrel of my gun," Sharon taunted him.

"You little bitch! I should have killed you when I had the chance," JJ said angrily with blood spewing out of his mouth.

"Yeah, you should have, because now, I'm going to kill you for what you did to my parents, to Martha, to Lily and Sebastian." She said with pain and agony in her eyes.

JJ suddenly raised the knife in his hand in a last-gasp attempt to kill Sharon, but she shot the knife right out of his hand, along with a couple of his fingers.

JJ gasped in pain but refused to scream. He didn't want to give her the satisfaction of knowing that she had brought him immense pain.

Sharon pointed the gun at his head and placed her fingers beside the trigger.

JJ laughed and said to her, "You don't have what it tak..." But before he could finish, the gun went off and the bullet landed into his head.

He fell, dead and gone, and Sharon took in a deep breath, one weight finally lifted off her shoulders.

"Victoria, my dear! Are you okay?" She asked and ran to her.

"Si, Amiga, I'm okay. This man saved me from that monster." She said and pointed at Chris.

"Thank you for saving her. You must be Chris." Sharon said to him.

"Yes, I am, and I take it you're Sharon," Chris said, but their introduction was cut short.

More of Addicus' men suddenly showed up and began shooting at them. Chris and Peter ran to the door and closed it.

"There's too many of them, Peter! What are we going to do?" Chris asked, not knowing the next course of action to take.

Peter and Chris used some of the furniture in the room to barricade the door. The goons all kept firing at the door and the girls took cover. Sharon covered Victoria with her own body to protect her.

"They're not letting up. We're trapped in here!" Chris said aloud.

"We have to find another way out of here!" Peter screamed back.

He stared at Sharon on the floor and their eyes locked. He could see the worry and panic on her face which prompted him to try and look for a solution to their current predicament. Peter looked around the room, looking for a window they could escape out of but there wasn't any in the room.

**He was out of ideas!**
