Chapter 13
Ed opens his eyes and finds Toni sitting against a wall in front of him.
‘God you look a mess.’ She says with a smile.
Ed tries to talk but the words just don’t come out of his mouth.
‘I guess you’re wondering what all this is about?’
Ed manages a nod.
‘I know about you and my sister you fucking pathetic excuse of a man; you were fucking her for months. I know we were twins but my God, I thought you would have noticed it was her body somehow.’
Ed manages to speak quietly. ‘Your sister was more of a woman than you will ever be, she treated me right.’
‘Fuck you Edward, your going to die today along with that new little slut of yours.’ Ed raises his head from the floor. 'Jagen has nothing to do with this.'
'She does now,' Toni stands and walks over to Ed then cuts the ties from his wrists and ankles, freeing him up.
'What?' He asks struggling to speak.
'Looking at the state of you, you’re not getting far,' as she finishes her sentence she drives a heel into the side of his cheek, once again causing him immense pain. Ed feels exhausted as his body stops fighting the beating and his eyes slowly close.
He can hear noise in the background, a girl, screaming, but can't open his eyes. He can sense Toni is still in the room, he can hear her laughing quietly to herself. The screaming gets louder and louder; realising its Jagen he opens his eyes and allows adrenaline to take control and give him the energy boost he needs.
Lurching to his feet his leg throbs and burns, making it difficult to stand. His severed ear, still bleeding feels numb and his swollen face hurts at every movement.
'Not so fast.' shouts Toni. Ed stumbles towards her, causing her to move aside. As she side-steps, she drives the knife straight into his back, instantly collapsing a lung. He drops to the floor like a dead pig and it all goes black.
Toni stands over him smiling enjoying the sweet revenge, she nudges him with her foot to make sure there's no response, he doesn't move. She walks out into the forest and finds Jagen lying on the floor, battered and bruised, her clothes torn. As Toni walks over to her, the girl flinches from her. Toni pulls a gun from the back of her trousers and points it straight at Jag en's face.
'Your time is up little girl.' Bang! A shot is fired. Jagen instantly tenses up waiting for the impact.
A few seconds later Jagen moves her arms down and spots Toni lying on the floor, another shot is fired, then another, a woman is screaming out loud. Jagen spots Iren metres away firing shots into three men around her making sure they’re dead. She continues to pull the trigger, now there's only a clicking sound as the magazine is empty. Jagen jumps up runs over to Iren and throws her arms around her.
'Thank you!' she sobs.
Ed awakes, there’s an intense pain raging through him, he can hardly breathe and it feels like there’s a gallon of water in the right side of his chest. He slowly pulls himself through the door into the forest and spots Jagen holding a woman. Ed tries to call out to get their attention but can’t even muster a loud enough groan. Then, Iren spots Ed lying on the floor and screams.
‘Edward!’ they both run over and help him up.
‘You know him?’ asks Jagen.
‘Yes, he’s my son.’ Jagen squints whilst taking in the information, quickly looks at her hands to notice a missing finger that confirms who she is, ‘How do you know Ed?’ Jagen smiles and looks down at Ed.
‘I’m his new girlfriend.’ Ed struggles but manages a smile. ‘We need to get him to the hospital as soon as possible Iren!’
‘I know dear,’ she jogs to one of the dead men and searches his pockets, pauses for a second from the gunshot wound in her chest. Then, almost straight away she finds a set of car keys, spots a BMW in the distance a walks towards it.
On the way to the car she pulls her mobile out and makes a call.
‘Boss, it’s me.’
‘Iren, good work we’ve cashed in a lot of money, should keep us going for some time.’
‘I can’t believe I did this to my own son.’
‘That little bitch Toni had it coming to her, and was a perfect opportunity to make us rich, shame a lot of people had to die.’
‘True, let’s see how he gets on with Jagen, we may have some more money soon.’
‘Jagen is a nightmare, been through hell of a lot, being her stepdad was hard enough and surprised to see she's involved.’
‘Hmmm yes well I’ve heard the stories.’
‘Good luck Iren, the money will be in your bank within the next few days.’
She hangs up the phone with a smile on her face feeling pleased with herself for setting this whole thing up. Gets to the BMW, turns the ignition and drives towards Ed and Jagen to get them out of here and to safety.

I look at the speed dial and my heart races, as I watch the speed rapidly increase, 50, 60, 70 mph. I shout, ‘stop!’ but my voice isn’t heard, as the car hits corners my stomach twists inside, the car clings to the side of the road causing the tyres to painfully screech. I look over at the dial then vomit slightly into my mouth at the sight of 110 mph. We’re driving on country lanes, one little mistake and my body will be a crushed mess. I continue to shout, ‘stop, stop, stop,’ but the car continues to race. The trees are a blur as we fly past them and believe it’s only luck that the car is staying on the road.
My body aches from the tension trying to keep myself braced for an impact that I know will happen soon. You can’t be in a car for this long, at these speeds going round these corners; law of averages just doesn’t allow it! Then suddenly there it was, the moment I had been preparing myself for! Images flash through my mind, images of my mum, my sister, school life and even my father. The car rolls over and over, its all in slow motion and I even get a chance to clock a flock of birds high in the sky. I then squeeze my eyelids tight and clench my fists so hard it hurts. The sound of twisting metal, glass smashing and screaming haunts me as we slowly come to a stand still upside down in the middle of nowhere.
I’m then floating above the car, as I watch someone else try to get out of the car. Thick smoke spills from beneath racing up towards me then blinding me, I’m scared, more terrified than I have ever been. The smoke eventually clears and I’m still floating above the car, then there’s sparks coming from the bottom shortly followed by an intense explosion, I scream at the top of my lungs as hard as I can then it all suddenly goes black!
Stealing cars is one thing, but stealing from a malicious gangster who has no problem with putting a gun to your head and blowing your brains out is another!
Two lads accidentally find themselves in the spotlight of this gangster who only uses violence to get the answers he wants. These lads dig deep in an attempt to counter the torture and very quickly realise, trust no one!!!
This story contains twists and turns, which will keep you turning each and every page.
