James Point Of View
As Giovanni's troops circled us, I silently cursed myself for being such an idiot, if only I'd got rid of those tops better none of this would be happening. Now we were going to die and it was all my fault. I reached down and took Jessie's hand in my own holding it tightly in my own. She was shaking slightly I could feel it. The fear was building up in me and I knew that soon I would start crying but I would fight it as long as possible, I had to be strong for Jessie's sake.
The troops had surrounded us now, their guns pointing at us just waiting for Giovanni to give the order. I glanced at him and nearly gasped in shock when I noticed a figure step up behind him, it was Brock, in all the excitement I'd forgotten all about him. Giovanni was just about to give the order when Brock pulled something out of his pocket and pushed against the back of Giovanni's head. I've never seen such a shocked look on any ones face before, I guess he'd thought he had everyone. "Tell them to drop their guns or I'll kill you." Brock said, pushing what must have been a gun against Giovanni's head a bit more. "Do it." Giovanni said and the troops dropped their guns.
I breathed a sigh of relief perhaps we were saved after all. As soon as the troops had dropped the guns, Giovanni dropped to a crouch and quickly spun round landing a kick right in Brock's groin. He fell like a sack of potatoes clutching himself, dropping his weapon as he fell.
I winced, that must have hurt. I then noticed that Brock's gun wasn't a gun at all but two bits of metal tied together with string. I sighed I should have known better then to think that we would survive this.
The troops picked up their guns and Giovanni started to laugh. I'd never heard him laugh before and I never wanted to again, it was one of the worse sounds I've ever heard. Jess let out a choked sob and buried herself against me, I wrapped my arms around her, holding her close trying desperately to hold my own tears in. I was fighting a losing battle and soon I was sobbing into her hair, it wasn't fair thinks had just started to go right for us I guess some people just aren't meant to be happy. It was then that I heard the sirens, could it be the police? I could only hope so.
Giovanni frowned he was probably wondering how they found out he was here, come to think of it so was I? The troops were looking at him expectantly, waiting for instructions. They have probably heard the sirens too. Giovanni motioned for them to escape and they all legged it out past Giovanni and Brock. I was shocked, was he letting us go. He sneered at us and said, "You may believe you have won, but you'll never be safe. There will always be someone out to kill you."
He then turned and started to run out of the door but he was to late, an Officer Jenny was standing there gun ready and pointing straight at him. Behind her I see other Jenny's arresting the troops. My God we were really going to be OK. Jenny looked at Giovanni and said, "Come quietly don't make me shoot you."
He snarled at her and turned to run out the back door, she sighed and fired shooting him in the leg just below the knee. He gasped and fell to the floor, clutching the wound. A couple more Jenny's came in, slapped on some handcuffs and none to gently dragged him out of the room.
I just couldn't believe we had made it, we were safe. I looked over at the Officer Jenny who'd shot Giovanni and said "How'd you know we were in trouble?"
She smiled and said, "When he blew doors off, it set of the alarm at the station."
I turned to look at May, "What alarm?"
She smiled at me, "I had an alarm fitted to all the doors and windows after my grandfather was killed. Didn't we tell you about that?"
I sighed, "No."
Brock picked himself of the floor and laughed softly, "It's probably a good thing we didn't, he probably would have guessed something was wrong if you two didn't start crying."
I sighed again, I guess he was right. Officer Jenny took her leave of us saying she'd send someone up to fix the door. I looked over at my friends, Butch and Cassidy were hugging each other wide grins on their faces, happy to be alive. Mondo and his partner were grinning at each other. I turned to Jess and kissed her softly, she kissed me back and then I reached down and stroked Meowth who was still curled up on her lap. He blinked up at me and said, "Well we're safe for now, but what happens when he gets out of jail?"
"We'll be ready for him." May said.
Brock nodded and said, "And we'll do it together right?"
I nodded and held out my hand, Brock took it and Jess placed her hand on top of our joint ones. Butch and Cassidy were next placing their hands on top of ours. Mondo and his partner came next and then May. I looked down at Meowth, picked him up with my other hand. He placed his paw on top of Mays. I looked down at our hands and knew that as long as we were together we'd all be OK.
