*Bang*
Charlie fired his weapon and the bullet grazed Gerard's face and lodged at the brick wall.
Charlie knew that Jeremy won't be pleased that he didn't put the bullet in Gerard's brain after it became clearly a self-defense attempt. But he could sense the hesitation in Gerard's actions. His hands are still shaking. He was watching him as long as he was here.
And Charlie didn't think killing Gerard in front of Jerlina will fare well for Jeremy. It would definitely cause some misgivings between them. He wanted to take a different approach. But he knew he has to be careful not to let them get hurt.
"Drop it!" Charlie shouted and Gerard's hands shook. He got drenched with perspiration and with one hit to the back of his head Gerard dropped the gun.
Tossing it aside with his boots, Charlie double-locked Gerard's wrists behind his back and pushed him on the wall.
"Take her home, TJ!" he shouted at Jeremy.
