After hearing the police siren, Patricia's face split into a sneer. "You are in so much trouble." She cleared her throat and screamed at the top of her voice. "Help. Somebody help, quickly. He wants to rape me." Brian realized the situation here. She was naked, he was hard and had a gun. He would seem like the guilty one. He quickly hid his gun inside his pants. The siren stopped wailing and silence fell upon the neighborhood. Patricia kept screaming, her voice now louder. "Somebody help quick. He has a gun." For some seconds nothing happened. Then, Brian heard footsteps approaching the door.The doorknob shook. "Help, quick." Patricia kept shouting. The knob shook violently. When the person probably discovered the door was locked, he or she started banging the door, each bang harder and louder than the last. Patricia's evil smile spread wider. *CRASH* The door crashed open hitting the wall. The top hinge broke, making the door bend. "Thank you. Thank you so...." Patri
Melanie woke up to the scent of iodoform. She closed her eyes immediately as a bright white light almost blinded her. Using her hands to block the light rays, she opened her eyes and blinked speedily to unblur her eyesight. She was in a room that almost looked like a hospital ward. The windows were closed, so the only source of light was the white light bulb. Almost everything in the ward was white including the walls, ceiling, bed she was lying on, the first aid box attached to the wall, and the white cupboard next to a white table that had a sterilizer on it. Melanie had no problem knowing which room she was in. It was Richard's mansion infirmary. She was dressed in a white patient gown. She touched her side and felt medical plasters covering her injury. Apart from a slight headache and a little pain from her injury, she seemed okay. The door opened as Brian and Charlene walked in to check on her. "Mel, thank goodness." Charlene beamed and bent towards her. "How are you feeli
They all gasped after Alexia's revelation."Gabe?" Brian said. "How was Gabe able to get it?""How am I supposed to know? Ask his girlfriend. Or you can ask him yourself." Alexa spat."Alexia..." Brian started to say but she cut him off."If you don't have anything interesting to say you can leave my ward."Brian shook his head. "Gosh, I can't believe you are still this spiteful even after everything that happened. I can sue you for sexual assault, you know.""Go ahead then. Sue me. My life is worthless now anyway."Brian sighed. "There was a better way to do this. You could have asked for help a better way and there are lots of people willing to help in a legal way, unlike Patricia. But you chose to commit a crime.""Just leave me alone." Alexia croaked and started sobbing."Alexia," Charlene said, feeling a tinge of sympathy for her. "It's not over. There are still people or organizations who can still help you.""I don't want anyone's help," Alexia stated adamantly."So what are yo
Finding Gabe's house wasn't a problem. They just had to ask Lana for it. Even though she wondered why they asked, she told them.So, that same Thursday, at night, Dalton parked a black Toyota Corolla near the building next to Gabe's house.Brian examined the neighborhood. The area was secluded from the highway so it was quiet. Only the chirping of crickets from the bushes could be heard. The neighborhood gave a haunted vibe."Good. Let's do this." Brian said.They emerged from the car. They were all dressed in black turtlenecks, black elastic pants, black boots, and black beanies. The black contrasted with the darkness, so it was difficult to spot them in the dark.Two Gray Guardians, which Brian brought to help, came out of the car behind them.Brian took the lead. He walked cautiously towards Gabe's bungalow front door. As expected, the front door was locked. Gabe and his friends weren't home.On the highway, they saw them leave with their new car. Their departure was Brian's clue t
"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
