Maybe Toyed With
Shinda walked back through the terminal, each step a heavy reminder of his own mortality. The adrenaline that had carried him through the streets was fading, replaced by a cold, throbbing ache in his wrist. He found his wife and daughter tucked away in a small security office, flanked by two nervous-looking guards. When she saw him, she let out a choked sob and rushed to him, her eyes immediately falling on the blood-soaked fabric wrapped around his arm."Shinda! Oh my God, your arm," she cried, her hands hovering over the wound as if she were afraid to touch him and break whatever spell was keeping him upright. "We have to go. The police, they want to talk to us, but you need a doctor. We’re going to the hospital right now."Shinda shook his head, his face a mask of weary stone. "No. No hospital.""What do you mean 'no hospital'?" she pushed back, her voice rising in a mix of fear and frustration. "You’ve been shot! That bullet went through you, Shinda! You’re losing blood.""I’ll be
The Hunter Was Hunted
Shinda’s breath came in ragged, shallow hitches. The scent of ozone and copper—blood and spent gunpowder—clung to the humid airport air. He pressed his back against the cold concrete pillar, his heart hammering against his ribs like a trapped bird. Every time he shifted even an inch, a bullet would kiss the concrete, sending a spray of stone dust into his hair."Stay down!" he stared at his wife his gaze shaking. She was huddled in a ball, her arms wrapped so tightly around their daughter that the girl’s face was buried in her mother’s chest.Shinda’s eyes scanned the rafters, the glass walkways, and the distant shadows of the parking garage. He was a man who lived in the dark, a professional who knew every trick in the book, yet this shooter was playing him like a beginner. The shots weren't coming from where they should. The angles were impossible.Suddenly, a flash of light caught his eye—a reflection from a scope high up in the ventilation ducts near the north terminal."There," h
Lock In Gaze
He gazed at the man, and on the man's face was a dark sneer, one Shinda couldn't identify—if he was being toyed with for real, or if it was just a coincidence. Everything happened so planned and arranged, as though they had already predicted his day.In not less than a second Shinda bolted from the ground; he ran like a madman into the airport, directly to the place where he suspected his wife should be because, ideally, that was where passengers take a break, maybe if they were waiting for someone.On reaching there, he couldn't find any of them, neither his wife nor his daughter; his heart began to beat extremely fast.He picked up his phone and dialed the number. At the first try the line wasn't going through; he panicked even more, but at the second try the line went through, so he spoke into the phone quickly, "Where are you? Are you fine?""What do you mean? You've been keeping us waiting for another hour and hell yes, now I'm extremely mad at you," his wife raged from the other
Almost In The Game
Shinda’s fists clenched. He wished he could stop the car at this instant, or perhaps rush to the airport, or call to confirm if his wife and daughter are truly fine, but he couldn’t. He was just so lost in his thoughts that everything felt like he was hallucinating.“You don’t have to panic, and I know you are thinking of if you should kill me here or not. Anyways, I’m not here to fight you, and if you really want to get to the airport in time to save your family, you have to make me live so I can take you there. If you kill me here, this car will detonate and we’re both gonna die,” the man explained, sneering like a devil.He then continued. “My body is connected to a pressure detector detonator, whereby once my heart stops beating, it will activate the boom. So which do you choose? Do you want to save your family, or want to die alongside me?”The man’s eyes were staring at the upper mirror above his aura as he gazed at Shinda from the back seat. Shinda didn’t know what to do, and h
A word For One
Shinda’s wife isn’t an easy one to play with; even Shinda is scared of her. Hearing her raging voice from the phone, he sighed before replying. “I’m sorry honey, I’m coming over to the airport to pick you guys up.”“You better, because if I end up waiting for another hour here I will be hell-mad at you,” she replied.Shinda narrowed his eyes. He scoffed; she said she would be hell-mad at him if the same thing happened, but she was already hell-mad at him, which made no difference.Shinda was thinking of what he could say that would calm her down, but at the moment he didn’t know what would best fit her preference.He sighed. “You know it’s not necessary to be yelling at me always, right? I don’t like it.”Shinda sounded so calm to his wife when he spoke, and in the next second, she ended the call without giving him a reply.“Hello… Hello…” Shinda tried to speak into the phone, but it was all a waste of time. As soon as he realized the call was canceled, he closed his eyes with a sigh.
Mansion Invasion
Thomas was the one driving; he took in a deep breath before shifting his gaze to Shinda. “You could have been caught. What the hell are you thinking?”“It isn’t my fault, it’s just that I can’t identify your car, and additionally you know I can’t just go to the mansion without authentication, which means if I had taken the other path I could have still been caught.” Shinda defended himself with a brief explanation.What he had said was the truth; if he had used the previous plans he had in mind—which was using another entrance into the mansion—he could have been caught on HD, and with that, things could have been game over for him.Shinda sneered, “You know I never lose. Here is the sample you asked for.”Shinda brought out the glass object and handed it over to Thomas.Thomas took it, then dropped it beside him. “You’ve done a good job. If you had messed things up, then you would have been messed up, and your family could have paid the price.”Shinda gritted his teeth, but this time
