Capítulo 33: Runners - Pt 01
Next Morning...
Selina Johnson | Apartment | ~09:00
-Having fun, I suppose? Finally being able to walk like you used to?
-Selina!? You startled me, actually I have been feeling empty since you couldn't make it home last night. You know, I like this apartment.
-...
-A little walking might help I thought. One step at a time toward the goal.
-Isn't it a bit too convenient? 'One step at a time toward the goal' huh?
-You gotta keep at it no matter what, right?
-No matter what!! You..,- It happened swiftly. The rage inside me couldn't hold back and my body moved automatically before I could finish the sentence. Probably seeing him in a fragile state helped so that I could hold back while slapping him.
-Aghh...ouch!!,- Sean, my new cousin got another taste of the beating he had already gone through. It was probably a shock. But still I couldn't gather any pity for his broken self lying in the ground.
-SCOUNDREL! You..
-(Sound of mild laughter)..no fair; if we're going to have ourselves a little sibling brawl, then I think we should wait until I..
-SHUT UP! You sick bastard! Where's my pocket mirror that I gave you? In the hospital? Remember?
-Agghhh; c'mon give me a hand, will you?
-Don't. Fuck around. Look! Guess where I found it? This little mirror was hanging from the pocket of one of the two guys YOU sent after Layla.
-Ughh the cute little pocket mirror; oh how much I missed you my souvenir.
-Tell me, why and how did you plan that hit on her?
.
.
-I'm merely just following your moves and positioning myself.
-...I..I screwed up again,- It just came in like a strike of thunder. These are the exact same words he said the other day when we were playing chess.
-Hmm, yes. That you did,- As I looked at him, there was a smile with just pity and mockery waiting for me over his face.
-That's why you..
-Selina? Or should I go back to being the boring courteous guy again?
-...You planned this from the beginning. But why? Why use me? I am not even a safe path,- Why else? It's about the same with everyone, even some stranger kid with nothing on me managed to take advantage of this pathetic being of mine. "Layla was just a victim of my incompetence. That girl was the only person who grew fond of me. Enough to even go that far for me."
-(A sound of exhale)It's just a part of the game Selina. A sacrifice I dare say, to achieve the goal; or just to keep the game alive. Nothing outrageous, we need to remove pieces.
-...
-Although she was nothing but a trivial matter, pawn would be a worthy description.
-A pawn you say?
