The Unshackled Queen: Never Say Never

Women’s screams followed the chaotic sounds.

Luckily, Hannah and Dotson had approached cautiously; their delay had spared them from immediate harm.

“Shut up! If I hear another sound, I swear I’ll shoot,” a harsh voice commanded from inside.

Following this threat, the noise inside gradually subsided.

The armed men, realizing no one was entering, yelled towards the entrance, “Anyone out there better come in here this instance.

If you don’t, we’ll have no choice but to get rough with your friend.

”

The man next to Charlie pressed a gun to his forehead.

“I’m losing my patience.

I’ll count to three.

If you don’t show yourselves, he dies.

”

“Three!”

Dotson, poised by the door, was about to intervene when Hannah, on the opposite side, stopped him.

“Two!”

Hannah signaled to Dotson that she would go first.

Dotson’s eyes widened in protest, but before he could react, Hannah stepped forward.

“One…”

Just as the captor was about to execute Charlie, he noticed a figure at the doorway.

The four gunmen inside quickly aimed their weapons at Hannah.

“I can’t believe it’s just a woman.

”

Charlie was taken aback to see Hannah at the doorway.

He blurted out, “Miss Moore, run.

Just leave me!”

“Shut the f@ck up!”

Bang!

The man raised his gun and shot at Charlie’s leg.

“Ah!”

The bullet struck Charlie’s leg, causing him to collapse to his knees with a groan of pain.

The shooter looked up at Hannah with a sinister smile.

“If you even think about leaving, he’s dead.

”

“I’m not planning on running.

”

Hannah raised her hands to show she was unarmed and began to advance slowly into the room.
