His little wife [Editing]

chapter 15

He took several steps back while scanning the environment, his brain was spinning with different ideas all at once.

For the first time in his life, his brain seems to work with him.

The street he was in, was deserted. No one was in sight. If anything were to happen to him now, no one would ever know.

The three men were coming in closer with each step they took, each cackling evily.

"Come on boy, we ain't gonna hurt you, we just want your money." One of the men spoke.

"Yeah, just give us your money, and we would go easy on you." 

With those words, Jayden held onto his bag even tighter than before, looking around and coming to conclusions, he ran.

"Shit." The men cussed and ran after him.

He ran right through them, running back down the ally he came, with the men right behind him, in hot pursuit.

He was not familiar with the roads, he went through many bends and curves. They all looked the same to him.

The roads looked so dark even when it was day time. He was breathing hard, he was confused.

The men were gaining on him and fast. He never looked back once, thus failed to notice when the men split up and took different routes.

He ran down a dark road. The road was also  poorly managed. Hence, it was filled with potholes. 

The buildings around here was also under demolition, and there was still no one in sight. Not even goons or beggers, where were the people when you need them?

He ran further and saw a bill board with a sign that read, "all residents evacuation for the reconstruction of the town".

That explains it. This place was bring demolished and reconstructed, that meant that he was in deep shit. If he could not find someone to save him, he might end up dead.

He continued running, while panting heavily when one of the men from earlier, came out from a different road, almost catching him.

Due to his quick reflex, he ducked right before that could even happen. For once, he was grateful to his mom for forcing him to attend karate classes all through his highschool.

Another man from earlier, sprang up from another direction, with the aim of tackling him, taking him by surprise. He was shocked at first, but he manoeuvred swiftly and moved to the side, making the man land on his stomach.

Due to the third man who almost took him by surprise, and almost tackling him, he went off course and took a different road. Unfortunately for him, it was part of their plan.

Coming to a stop, he was met with a dead end. 

"Shit." He cussed when he realized his mistake. He fell right into their trap. Again.

Damn, was he a fool. He was tricked twice by them today. Was he that unfortunate?

Immediately, he turned to go back, but it was too late. The men were already behind him.

If he thought they looked mean before, then he was wrong. This time, they looked scary. 

Two of the men were holding different places of their bodies. One was holding his stomach, the other was holding his head. He could see traces of blood coming from the wound on the man's head.
