章節 4: Are you willing to kill or be killed?
He didn't waste much time before he began to run.
Someone else would have tip their toes, but he's not going to do that. He was well sure that the distance between them was enough.
He and Ethan were good runners. They ran for their school and got medals to motivate them.
His hand swept aside the grown leaves that obstructed his view, and just kept running nonstop.
He had no idea how they didn't notice immediately, because he had gone a bit far before their voice made its way to his ears.
"You don't want to do this, boy."
"Boy!"
"Stop where you are."
"We can see you already."
"Boy."
Their voice echoed in his ears, but he didn't stop running. He won't stop till he escapes.
He would find someone and let them know that he wanted to go to his family.
He can't give up, now.
It didn't take him too long before the voice got nearer.
"I saw him." He heard one of them and yeah, the voice came from a close distance.
"Stop there, boy!"
This only prompted him to Increase his pace, yet he could feel them getting closer and their command to make him stop got more harsher than before.
It didn't take too long before he heard another voice, but it belongs to a group of people. It was totally different from the one asking him to stop and wanted to kill him.
He headed towards that exact spot and got to a clear space with lots of people.
A little girl sitting on the lap of a man, which gave him hope. There is a kid, which means he might have the chance of being saved.
He saw another man sitting beside them and ran towards them. He dropped to his knees and began begging.
His palms rubbing against each other as he pleaded with them. "There are some bad men. They want to kill me.
They said they will hide my body after they kill me. Please help me. I don't want to die." He said breathlessly and looked back in panic.
A batch of footsteps could be heard and the same command to make Nathan stop running.
The guys that were training, vanished in a blink of an eye into the nearby bush.
Four figures stepped into view immediately and Nathan reached out his hand to hold the man. He clutched onto his leg and continued begging.
Before the four men could react, the man holding the little girl raised his palm and 4 needles were released into the air in a blink of an eye.
As if being frozen, they stiffened their neck and could only groan on the spot, not able to move or talk.
The man looked at the boy that still held his leg and then back at the guys. With their mode of dressing, he could already tell that they are Shane's men.
But what did Shane want with this little boy?
But as expected of the bastard, he doesn't care about gender and killed anyone that offended him in the slightest.
"Stand up." He said in a command tone and Nathan sprung to his feet.
His eyes met with the little girl that didn't stop looking at him all through, yet her mouth didn't stop the sucking on her lollipop.
She seems so calm, like everything happening around her was a common sight.
"Here.. " The man passed the gun in his hand to Nathan and the boy blinked in confusion.
"Take it." He urged.
"I want my mommy." Nathan said and the man smiled softly.
"Do you want me to save you from them?" He asked and Nathan nodded his head.
"Fine, but I don't need the weak beside me. Are you willing to kill or be killed?" The man asked him, knowing that if that crazy lunatic wanted this boy dead, he would not stop until he achieved it.
If the boy appeared weak, he would just do the man a favor and hand him over to these men.
"I want my mommy." Nathan replied again and with a raise of his hand one of the guys that were hiding came out.
"Remove the needles from them and let them take him away." The man said.
"No. I don't want to go with them." He said and was about to go on his knees again.
"Up!" The man said in a command tone and he quickly stood straight.
"Here." He extended the pistol to him again, "shoot one of them and I will save you, or choose not to do it and I will hand you over to them." He said and smiled as the boy reached for the gun.
He really didn't want to die.
"Do it." He urged and didn't miss the determination in the boy's eyes, as he held the gun with his shaky hand.
The man didn't care about who got killed, but kept studying the boy. He was so young but already had such a feeling of living no matter what.
What piqued his interest in the first place, was how the boy managed to slip from those guys.
If not, he won't even bother testing his potential.
Nathan's breath got heavier as seconds went by and his lips shivered. He aimed at one of the guys and saw his orbs moved to look at him, yet the man couldn't move.
Shutting his eyes, he held the gun firmly and pulled the trigger, just like he usually did with his toy gun.
This time it wasn't water that got released, but a bullet.
It wasn't a funny music that played, but a loud bang sound.
It didn't put a smile on someone's face like Maris would laugh whenever he and Ethan suddenly showed up in front of her and pulled the trigger of the music and light gun.
This time it ended a person's life.
He opened his eyes and saw that his aim was accurate. He hit the man's head, at the exact spot that his driver got hit.
He dropped to the floor and passed out immediately. 'I did it. I will be able to see them again.' He assured himself before giving up to the darkness completely.
