\u201cWe need to get out of sight!\u201d Jay shouted as they continued their descent. A commotion broke out several stories above them before heavy footfalls clamored after them. Another muffled pop sounded before a bullet rebounded through the fire escape like a deadly game of pinball. Jay wasn\u2019t sure which of the goons was chasing after them, but he heard Goatee shout to his cohort from the hotel room above.<\/p>\n

\u201cAre you fucking stupid? You might hit the girl. Go after them!\u201d Still ahead of him, Gia was checking windows at each landing, desperate to seek shelter. After two more flights of stairs, she found one unlocked and threw it open before diving into the room. Jay followed her lead and locked the window shut behind him. The two friends tore through the unoccupied room and burst into the 1920s-inspired hallway, where one of the two elevator cars was miraculously empty and waiting for them.<\/p>\n

They sprinted into the glass carriage, and Gia pounded the lobby button as the duo waited impatiently for the doors to close. In the distance, a window shattered, followed by Mustache crashing into the hallway. He darted toward the elevators as Jay jabbed the \u201cclose door\u201d button repeatedly at a frantic speed.<\/p>\n

A few precious seconds ticked away before the doors at last began to slide shut at an unrushed pace, and Mustache increased his speed. The doors finally sealed shut, just as the grunt approached, and he pounded against them. \u201cNow what?\u201d Gia asked. Jay rubbed the back of his neck and steadied his breathing.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe just go to the lobby and then make a break for the parking garage.\u201d \u201cYou have your keys?\u201d He pulled them out of his pocket and dangled them in front of Gia. \u201cI never go anywhere without them. Not even the beach.\u201d \u201cOkay, good. Let\u2019s hope that we don\u2019t stop on the way down.\u201d No sooner had Gia uttered the words than the elevator slowed its descent before coming to a complete stop with a pleasant chime.<\/p>\n

Much to the friends\u2019 dismay, the doors slid open and revealed an elderly couple struggling with their luggage.<\/p>\n

1kitap1.com\/en A fter their half-assed whirlwind heist, Jay and Gia had finally been caught and detained in a musty abandoned warehouse, with six somber-looking men staring them down. The two friends were trapped, tied up to rickety chairs side by side. Fear and adrenaline surged through their frail, weary bodies as they pleaded for their lives.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrank took me off the joint account,\u201d Gia explained. \u201cWhich is why we robbed him,\u201d Jay said. \u201cHow much did you get?\u201d one of the henchmen asked. \u201cAbout two thousand dollars,\u201d Gia replied. The boss heaved a sigh and shook his head. \u201cFucking pennies.\u201d \u201cWhat are we gonna do, Boss?\u201d the minion wondered. The boss signaled to his other goons, and they huddled together to discuss their predicament.<\/p>\n

Gia took advantage of their lapse of attention and leaned toward Jay. \u201cI think I have an idea to get out of here. But you can\u2019t get all panicky on me.\u201d \u201cGia, are you sure? These guys are armed. And if we make one mistake, just one\u2014\u201d Chapter One \u201cI just told you not to be panicky,\u201d she replied, cutting him off before nodding to the left. \u201cYou see that machine over there?\u201d Jay glanced over and eyed a large, rusted lathe several feet away.<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
