2024-07-14 16:06:42Raymond's heart missed a beat. He took a step back, his gun still pointing to Kira. He huffed when he caught sight of the intruder.
"Thanks for the drink" the guy said, cackling scornfully. "You're welcome" Raymond grinned and the smile faded immediately "But stay out of this. Get the fuck out of here?" He cocked his gun and pointed it to the intruder. "Let the bitch go, you bastard" the guy said, taking a step closer to Raymond - still pointing his gun to Raymond. "You'll die in a second, stay away" Raymond yelled. He fired a shot - into the air. The guy got confused and Raymond jabbed his face with the base of his gun. Raymond picked his gun as the intruder fell on the floor, wincing in pain - still trying to recollect what happened two seconds ago. And when he finally did, Raymond was pointing two guns at his face. "Who are you? And why did you follow me out here?" Raymond yelled - his fingers itched to pull the trigger. The intruder winced in pain again, he hunkered his head. He slowly placed his hands on the floor so he could rise on his feet. "Stay the fuck down" Raymond shouted. The anger in his tone made the guy startle and the barrels of the two guns in Raymond's hands made him so scared to lose his life. "What do you want?" Raymond said. Raymond looked around as he was beginning to hear footsteps and the aura was getting suspicious and alarming. "I don't have all the time. Speak before I blow your brains off" Raymond screamed, tightening his grip on the guns. The guy laughed hysterically when he looked behind Raymond. He nodded his head twice, but Raymond didn't get the message. "She's gone" the guy sitting on the floor said. Raymond creased his eyebrows and looked back swiftly. Kira had vanished. "You motherfucker" Raymond groaned. He slammed the barrel of his gun over the guy's face and he passed out, with his head oozing with blood. The footsteps Raymond heard earlier got closer and he fled the scene. He ran down the alley - his instincts telling him Kira took the same route. He ran past a few blocks and he stopped beside a car. He led out gasps as his heart pulsed like it'll fall of his chest. He stepped to the other side of the car - close to the sidewalk. He gazed down the street where he just ran out from. Despite the dusk, there was an unknown source of light, and the cacophonies of insects lilting at his ears. He pulled out his phone and stumped its screen. "Hey, Tyler" he whispered. "Yo, where you at? Do you have the girl already" Tyler's voice echoed from the other end. "Not really. She escaped. But I placed a chip on her - one of the chips you gave me. Hack it, and send me the coordinates - right now" "Sure, give me a moment. I'll hit you up" Tyler said and ended the call. Raymond heaved a sigh and he got off the sidewalk, striding down the streets his eyes scanning every part he passed. His phone beeped a few minutes later. He giggled when he stared at the notification and it was a message from Tyler. Its time to give Kira another visit. But this time, in her home, or wherever she is hiding. 002, never loses a target. *** Raymond knocked the door. The house appeared like a deserted bungalow, but the light glistening from inside of the house bashed his thoughts. After all, this is where the coordinates that Tyler sent led him. He knocked the door for the umpteenth time. Slow footsteps echoed from the house and he moved to the side. The door creaked. "Who is that?" Kira said, but there was no response. She opened the door completely and stepped outside, a part of her wanting to discard the thoughts that she didn't hear those incessant knocks on her door. Just in, she felt a strong hand engulf her mouth. She tried to struggle, but he was too strong. Her voice was stifled beneath his hands. Raymond pulled her back into the house. He pushed her to the floor. And before she could get a hold of herself and process what just happened - Raymond was already pointing a gun at her face. "Who're you?" she asked, her voice lost somewhere between fear and horror. Yet, she couldn't get a clear view of who just rough handled her. Raymond hit the switch on the wall and the white bulb illuminated the dark room. Kira squinted her eyes when she caught sight of Raymond. She crawled backwards in outright fright. Horror enclosed her as she stepped back, her eyes fluttering from Raymond's face to the gun in his hand. "What do you want from me?" Kira stuttered, and she stood on her feet. Raymond didn't say a word. He took a step closer to her. Kira's heart skipped a beat when Raymond's shadow got close to her. She tumbled into the couch. Raymond quickened his steps - before Kira raised her head, his barrel was touching the strands of her braids. "I don't want to hurt you. You have to cooperate with me, If you don't want me to do what you won't be alive to explain" Raymond said. Kira gasped for breath and shook her head. Raymond took his gun off her head - she sat properly on the couch. He stood behind the couch - backing the entrance. "What do you want from me?" Kira said. The muscular silhouette of Raymond standing above her sent shrills of fear down to her spine. "Where is he?" Raymond asked. "Who?" "JM" Raymond roared. "John Marvin" he added biting the corner of his lips. "... Don't think of lying to me, because you're the only who knows where he is" Kira remained silent. The still silence made a ball of fury clench Raymond's throat. "Speak! Where the fuck is he?" Pointing his gun to her face - finger on the trigger. Suddenly, a huge object hit his head from behind in a split second and he fell to the floor and passed out.

Chapter Twenty Two
Al gulped down the entire glass of vodka, his face lightened. A whizz sped out of his lips as he paced towards the table to pour himself another glass.“What’s the plan?” he asked, directing the question to no one. Tyler turned away from the computer screen, letting out the sigh lurking in his throat. “I think we should give up on this mission already.” he suggested, leaning closer to see the reaction on everyone’s face. Al scoffed. Ria maintained a straight face and Dera shot him a glare. “Don’t look at me like that!” Tyler growled and stood up. “Vladimir is dead. There is no fucking way we can access that vault.” he added rolling his gaze back to Al.“Just shut up and let me think!” Dera screeched, fist tightened at her sides and gritted teeth. Tyler’s eyes fired a menacing glare. “Whatever you’re thinking about, make it fast. That diamond will be sold in 2 days.” “I have an idea.” Ria cuts in. Al’s eyes widened in curiosity. He placed his glass on the table and press
Chapter Twenty One
It's been two days. Two days after Raymond's surgery and two days after Al introduced the Starlight Serenity Diamond mission. Raymond's condition seemed to be getting better. But Al wouldn't let Ria rest. After all, she calls his attention to a part of the mission he didn't pay attention to. While coming up with the plan for the heist. Al assigned Ria to uncover the mystery of who had the code and the biometrics to unlock the vault in the Bloodstone Tower. Without it, every attempt - would be like pouring oil in water. "Raymond would never make such mistakes." Ria, thought. Raymond is always the mastermind and executor of all their missions. It's the first mission after his (supposed) demise and Al is already planning a mission with a solid tact or perfect exit plan. Ria was skeptical about the whole mission. Especially about what just happened happened to Raymond. Everyone tries to remain loyal to Al. But he ends up taking their life. Ray's a living proof. But she Ria wouldn't w
Chapter Twenty
"Ria how long would it take you to gather evidence. I can see that you're not being serious with this mission. Don't push me, your fucking retarded brunette." Ria rolled her eyes as she read the text. She put her phone back in her pocket, and turned her gaze back on o the hospital bed. Where Raymond was laying. It's been two days after his surgery. He's still in a coma. And according to the doctor's statement, his chances of survival are higher. She couldn't wait to see him back on his feet. She leaned forward in her chair, beeping or hospital machines blaring in her ears. Ria placed her hands on Raymond's feeble fingers. An oxygen machine was placed across his face. "I'm really sorry, Ray." Ria muttered. For a split second, it felt like she was apologizing to someone who's listening. "I'm sorry, you had to be betrayed this way. I know you're going hate everyone so much for doing this to you." Until the first tear dropped, Ria didn't realize how stunned and broken she was. Guilt s
Chapter Nineteen
Ria couldn't get the muffled sound she heard out of her head. While Tyler was in the car moments ago, he noticed a slight movement on Raymond's body. A part of her think he might be alive or something. And that's the reason she alighted from the vehicle. Just to dashed a single spark of curiosity. Exasperated breaths glided out of Ria's mouth as she proceeded towards the bush. She looked around for a split second, before walking a little bit closer to the dumped body. Ria ripped the leather wrap apart. And she pulled Raymond out of it and placed him on the bare ground. The darkness made a little bit dark to figure out Raymond's face. Yet, the bright shimmers of the moon slapped out Raymond's wrist watch. Ria knelt beside him. The cold grasses sent cold shrills down, her spine, but the terror in her heart wouldn't let her bother. She slowly paced two fingers on Raymond's neck - hoping a pulse would push through. A surge of disappointment ran through her system as none was forth com
Chapter Eighteen (A void)
Tears trickled down Raymond's cheeks. When the first bullet pierced through his chest, he locked eyes with the barrel of a gun - clinging to Dera's hand. It felt like he was lost in a trance until the second bullet pierced through his chest. Raymond groaned in pain. Not only because of the excruciating pain from bleeding scar. But because this whole betrayal scheme had Dèra in it.He fell to the floor - eyes soaked in tears, a heart smashed into fragments, and a chest - pierced with two bullets. AI took the gun off Dera's grip. "You still have the mafia blood running in your veins." Al commended, mashing his mouth on Dera's lips. Tyler and Ria exchanged glances, their eyes - sticking out in terror. The last thing they expected Al to do was kill Raymond. He's the smartest and fastest killer in the gang. At first, Ria wanted to defend Raymond. But Al's ruthlessness sent shrills of fear down her gut. If he can kill Raymond without a flick of remorse, driving a knife into her throat w
Chapter Seventeen (A Shot)
Raymond blinked his eyes rapidly to ensure he wasn't dreaming or hallucinating. He flinched when Dera walked into the room. His lips - were wide open as if he had just seen a ghost. For a moment, he expected Dera to have lacerations on her skin, or blood gushing out of her veins. Because anyone abducted by Trysis is always beaten till their skin is unrecognizable. So what happened? But Dera was hale and spotless. Her face was even adorned with alluring makeup. Raymond squinted his eyes multiple times - unable to process what was going on. And the fact that AI introduced Dera as a surprise heightened his anxiety and shock. "Dera?" Raymond blurted - with a flitting gaze. "Can someone tell me what the fuck is going on here?" He gazed at Ria as if he'd found the answer to his question on her face. Ria broke eye contact and dug her fingers into her palms. Ria to disguise her surprise, her body language gave her away. Ria has got snakes in her closet. Tyler had a dismayed look on his f
