"Another Disappearance Alert!!! Just last night, there was another disappearance. The victims this time are the beloved Thompson twins, Paul and Paulina. Civilians are beginning to question whether our city is safe..."The exact words from the news still played in Brian's head as he and Melanie moved to their next class after recess. "We saw him speaking with these twins, we found their pictures in his house and the next day they are missing?" Melanie was saying in a hushed voice. "Something is fishy."One doesn't need to be a big genius to know that.Brian nodded. "Yeah. Gabe is connected to their disappearance somehow. Explains why we found his picture in his house.""Being an illegal drug dealer is one thing, now a kidnapper? I know Gabe isn't a good guy but I didn't know he was bad to this extent."Brian merely shrugged. "Honestly, I'm not that surprised. Oh look, here he comes."Brian's statement was accompanied by giggles of ladies coming towards them. The ladies were four in n
That same day, at nine o'clock, the black Corolla parked in front of Gabe's house again with another car trailing behind. Once the car had been parked, they emerged from it. Just like the previous day, they were dressed in black turtlenecks, black jeans, black boots, and black beanies. It felt like a deja vu. But unlike the previous day, two Nightbirds and two Butterflies followed them this time, no Gray Guardians. The Butterflies were dressed in their uniform – an overall tight-fitting leather suit while the Nightbirds were dressed like the rest of them. Brian tried his best to avoid looking at their curvy bodies for too long. "You two, stay here and keep watch. Alert us if any emergency comes up." Brian ordered the two Nightbirds with authority, which they bowed to. They proceeded to the front door. Brian didn't bother checking whether anyone was home or not. If anyone was at home, it's not like they can do anything to stop them. Brian kicked the front door. The force snapped t
Gabe's head moved left and right as he stirred from his sleep. He felt his arms and legs being restricted by something. As his eyelids fluttered open, the memory of what happened last played in his head. The last thing he remembered was arriving and seeing his front door open. Then he saw the silhouette of someone come closer to his car and something pricked into his neck, making him unconscious. And he ended up here. Everything was a blur when his eyes opened so he blinked speedily. When his sight, cleared, he was taken aback by the first person he saw. "Brian?" Brian smirked. "Did you sleep well?" Gabe looked around and noticed the people behind him. Judging from their body, shape there were four females and one male. They all wore black nose masks but Gabe could swear two of them almost resembled Melanie and Charlene. Gabe tried to move but was restricted again. He looked at his arms. His wrist and ankle were tied to the arms and legs of a wooden chair respectively. Beside
A look of surprise formed on Gabe's face as he stared at the picture. The picture depicted Brian entering the university. "Uh..." Gabe hesitated, realizing he was in another trouble. He should have gotten rid of the picture instead of dropping it here. But then, he wasn't expecting Brian to discover his secret room. "Do you want us to start this again?" Brian growled. He waved the syrup bottle. "I'll start with Andrew this time." "I'll talk." Andrew offered. Before Gabe could shoot him a glare, Andrew started blurting out. "That's the picture someone sent to us for a job." Brian gave him a quizzical look. "What job?" "Andrew." Gabe interrupted with a raised voice and a warning glare. Brian shot his own warning glare. "Do you want to end up like TJ over there?" Andrew gulped and glanced at TJ who was still stroking his genitalia. He couldn't take the risk. "He gave us your picture...so...we could..." His voice lowered. "...kidnap you." Silence followed Andrew's revelation a
Early in the morning, the next day, Brian walked majestically to the cage where Gabe and his friends were held captives. Unlike the Addams Manor, Richard's mansion lacked a dungeon so large iron cages were kept in a building outside to hold them captives. Inside the building, beside their cage, was another cage where the men who fought Melanie were held. Brian had a good time torturing them. There were red marks of whips on their bodies and their mouths were swollen. The men were asleep at the moment. Brian still hadn't decided what to do with them. "Morning, had a good sleep?" Brian said in a singsong tone. Gabe stared at him with red eyes. They all looked terrible. Their hair was scattered, especially Gabe's Mohawk, and their body was sore from laying too long on rough ground. "Good sleep? In this abomination of a place?" Gabe snapped. "You haven't even given us food," Max added and his stomach grumbled. They haven't eaten anything since last night and it felt like a war was goi
In the evening of that same day, four black Jeep Cherokee drove into the compound of Richard's mansion and parked in the parking lot. The sun had set and twilight had already fallen. The evening cool breeze touched the magnificent compound of the mansion, shaking the flowers and grasses and blowing Brian's hair. The doors of the Jeep Cherokee opened. Nightbirds numbering up to ten emerged from one car, Gray Guardians emerged from the second while Butterflies came out of the third, all ten in number. They were all dressed in their various uniforms–Nightbirds in black jackets and jeans, Gray Guardians in Gray combat shirts, and Butterflies in black tight-fitting overall leather suits. Rex and three Gray Guardians came out from the fourth car. They all approached Brian who was standing by the front door with Melanie, Charlene, and Dalton, trying his best to look serious. *THUMP* They all went on their knees and bowed their head. "Good evening, Young Master." They chorued in rev
Brian watched in amazement as a Nightbird, whose name was Killian (he was apparently the best voice imitator and actor they had), put on a Mohawk wig that resembled Gabe's hair. His face had already been covered with makeup, giving him Gabe's complexion. His eyes were covered with contact lenses, giving him Gabe's blue eyes color. "Wow, this is impressive work," Brian said to Sasha was just finishing applying the makeup. She bowed and smiled. "Thank you." "Now for the voice part. How's it going?" Killian took out his earpiece with which he had been listening to Gabe's voice. "How's this?" He cleared his throat and changed his facial expression to an angry one. He looked just like Gabe. "Hey, dude. What the hell are you doing?" He spoke in a voice that almost sounded like Gabe's if not for the deepness and pitch. Brian nodded again, impressed with what he witnessed. "Wow. How did you do that?" "Well, I've been listening to his voice since today so I studied his speech tone an
The black Sienna drove through the road in the forest. The headlights were dimmed to avoid easy spotting so Dalton had to drive carefully because of the limited light. Luckily, the full moon helped with some illumination. Some meters behind, two black minivans, in which Richard, Sasha, and the rest of the men and women were in, trailed behind. For some reason unknown to Brian, the cars made little noise as they moved. The laptop stood on the middle of the car dashboard. They were following the dot on the map which was still moving on the water as represented on the map. There was another dot on the map. It was a blue dot that represented them, enabling them to know how far they were from the kidnappers. The two dots were meters apart, the red dot being by the right and ahead of the blue one. Brian's uneasiness came back for a moment but he shoved it aside. He had started this already, so there was no point being negative. "Will our gas be enough for the whole journey?" Brian inq
