"I really don't know." She said, breaking into tears.
"It's alright." I said, patting her back as she cried.
She cleaned her face and sniffed loudly. "I'm fine...I'll be fine."
"Yes, we'll be fine. Both you, me and…" I rubbed her baby bump. "Your baby."
She smiled. "I had once thought of getting rid of it, but then Maxwell, talked me out of it."
"Who is Maxwell?" I asked.
"Maxwell?" "Yea, I'm not sure you know me…" "I know you, Maribel told me about you." I said. He looked around with his torch and with a confused look on his face, he asked; "What's wrong?" "Like?" "You seem like you were being pursued by something, are you sure you're alright?" I gulped in my saliva and nodded my head frantically. "Yes, I'm fine."
"Wakey wakey."I opened my eyes and the first thing I saw was a very large nylon which smelled great.I rose up instantly and before me was Chris and Brianna."Hey, good morning." Chris said, collapsing on one of the hospital chairs."Hi." Brianna said, waving continuously at me. "You sleep a lot. Can I ask you a question?"I shook my head in disbelief. How are these people here? I wondered."Excuse me." I sai
Maribel cleared her throat loudly as she noticed my shocked eyes on her."W-who is this….little girl?" She said with an absurd smile on her face."Hi, I'm Brianna." Brianna said, walking closer to Maribel and stretching her hand forward for a handshake."Wait!" I said aloud, finally regaining my ability to speak. I drew Brianna away from Maribel and towards me. "Brianna, uhm….I think you have to leave here.""Why?" She said with a suddenly sad face. "Did I do something wrong? Are you angry with me?"&nbs
It didn't come as a surprise to me when Garry carried me to a bar. "Hah!" He exclaimed in excitement as he walked into the rowdy environment. "Hey Biggie." Many of them called out to him as he walked inside. It was almost like he was a celebrity to them. He carried me to a table and dropped me to my feet. He sat down, making the chair squeak loudly. "Sit, Lady." He said, motioning to a chair beside him. I rolled my eyes as I sat down reluctantly. He called out to one of the la
We arrived at the uncompleted building which the lady bartender had told us about, completely exhausted and tired. "Finally." I said, as I collapsed on the stony and dusty floor of the building. Garry, who had been quiet throughout our walk, sat down without saying anything. I stared at him sympathetically, I couldn't imagine how he was feeling at that moment. I really wanted to help him out, probably tell him that everything was going to be okay, but I couldn't because I doubted it myself. I couldn't see any possible way in which things would turn out fine for Garry; he had murdered someone in broad daylight with quite a number of spectators around. I sighed in frustration and untied the large scarf which the lady bartender had given to Garry and I. I laid the large scarf on the flo
"That's true, she said she'd be here by nightfall..." I said. "This is past midnight." Garry added. "I hope she's okay?" "She should be." I said, reassuringly. "No one saw us talking to her, so she should be perfectly fine." "How can we be so sure of that? What of if she was somehow caught?" He asked, worriedly. "Calm down, I bet she's fine. She is probably cut up in one or two things she's doing, she'd be here in no time." Garry began pacing the building, breathing heavily and sweating profusely despite the cold weather. "Garry, relax." I said. "No, we have to find her." He said. "Wait, you mean you want to go back to the bar where everyone's in search of you." I said. "I have no choice, but I understand
What the hell is going on? I wondered. "What is Maribel and Maxwell doing here?" I took a better look at them and then I noticed that Maribel was at the centre of everyone and was talking....almost like she was instructing them. I stared at the strong and fierce faces of the people gathered around Maribel and I couldn't quite understand what was going on. As I stared at the armed crowd, I felt a gun behind my head. "Move and I'll end you." I heard a voice say. I stayed on the floor without moving an inch as I felt completely paralysed. "Please!". I managed to utter. I was dragged up with force and before me was a seven foot tall man with a scary tattoo on his forehead and several scars on his face. "Please, don't hurt..." "Shut y
They all began to move out, cheering excitedly. "Halt!" Maribel ordered. "We have to be silent. Remember, the plan is to attack them using the element of surprise, that way they would have no chance to retaliate." It all felt like a horror movie and I was stuck in the middle of it. Maribel kept to her word as three men were left behind. "Keep her safe." She said to them before she hurried after the rest. "Follow me!" One of them ordered as they walked back into the building. I had no option than to follow them as they were armed and looked scary enough to frighten me. We walked back to the building but I didn't stay close to them as i didn't trust them one bit. I walked over t
