I was still in my position when Freddy woke up, immediately our eyes interlocked, that rage from last night came back, I decided to look away so that I won't start a flame that will result to a burning fire, where I will get burned.
Jerry himself was standing in front of the window, never running out of cigar, I am beginning to wonder if he can possibly stay a single minute without smoking, I wonder how he did just that back at the store, where after all that happened their, he never placed a stick inside his mouth until we got here, if that was the level he had taken this just for me to get in there way, I am really in trouble.
I have been around men like this since I was young, tougher ones, they don't have to play games to achieve their goals, they just go for the kill and take whatever they came for, but Jerry and his friends looks more like wannabes, they're like kids that are armed, showing their inner emotion and how they felt. Men I have worked for are people that they either walk away or eliminate you, they're well known dangerous men who doesn't care about petty things, if I had stepped into their plans just like I did with Jerry's, they're probably sending a bullet straight to my head and then walk away like nothing happened, holding grudges doesn't look like their thing, all I and my little friends do for them was transportation, sending stuffs from one place to the other, making sure we hid them well.
There was a sudden knock on the door, a knock that sounded too fast like someone was trying to break in, Jerry turned around, taken aback, he looked at me, then at Freddy, he opened a locker immediately, bringing out his pistol as he came to me, grabbing my collar.
“ What the f**k did you do boy?....”, he pressed, eyes opened wide, a gun pointed to my head and the other hand grabbing my collar while I was still tied up with a string. “ it's not me.... it's not me, I swear!”, I pleaded for my life. The knock never stopped, sounding repeatedly, making Freddy to pull out a gun too as he went to check who was banging on the door.
“ I Will f**king blow your mind off if you got anything to do with this....”. Freddy opened the door, but his expression changed as he opened the door wider, hugging the guys coming in. “ Oh thank God, you guys are back.....”. Jerry and Freddy began hugging the guys as the storm in, none of them was looking happy, each of them seems like they were holding a grudge against someone.
“ Oh God..... I'm f**king going to ruin that motherf**ker how reported us, f**k!....”. I recognized the guy, he was the one guarding the car and looking out for the others while the robbery was going on.
Oh God, I guess I am never making it out of here after all, I tried remaining calm, but the panic has automatically gotten out of hand, my fingers shaking out of fear, I can even feel my pants getting soaked, I just wetted myself, teeth gritting together, forcing myself to stay calm just like Jerry, but what's before me eludes me.
“ And who the f**k is this pu**y here?....”, one of the guys asked, his face still looking angry and pissed, Freddy and Jerry looked at each other, I was now watching and getting ready to be devoured by this five men all together.
“ He's our new crew, just getting him ready for what's coming....”, Jerry defended me, somehow, I am just grateful to him for being here, seeing how he went through a year patiently just to carry out a single night plan without getting suspected, and also happened to hold back from shooting me last night, I am nothing but grateful, all thanks for Freddy too for being around to hold him back last night, giving him reasons to let me stay alive.
The imagination of this five hefty men stumping on me looks dreadful, not to speak of when they start doing that in reality. Tears are now running down from my eyes, seeing that I just escaped death for the second time in just few hours.
“ What the f**k is this?, You got a crybaby to join our crew?....”, the Third guy asked angrily, his arm raised towards me. “ No no relax, ( Jerry pleaded with him, faking a smile), you see, he's just a boy, boys f**k up and deserves punishment, this is what you should do, if you're irritated watching him cry, then go there and kick him to shut the f**k up....”, Jerry told him, giving him permission to do with me whatever he wishes, the other guys looked at Jerry, as if they were expecting the same permission.
“ No I'm not crying, I'm not crying please!!!”, I begged them, watching them considering taking the offer. This men are angry and pissed off right now, if they start kicking me together, I might end up dying here, I don't want to die.
I continue telling them, begging them to spare me as fear gripped me, Mom where are you?, That's the question in my head right now, I just want to be in my mom's embrace right now, I just want to listen to her tell me how cute and loving her child was, I just want to hug her right now and never let go.
My legs where shaking, adrenaline rushing through me as I stare at the three men staring back at me with hate and anger, wanting to throw all their pains at me, wanting to take the escape option to their miseries for the meantime.
“ Be careful guys, he's gonna be your buddy soon, remember that!..….”, Jerry said behind them as the men approached me.
