My only source of light

[40]

Just before he could bend down to untie the strings that held the six men together, something cold had hit the back of his head. 

He already knew what it was, he didn't even have to look back to see, after all it was something he always used.

Mikey wanted to do something, he didn't like that kind of situation, but he also knew what could happen if he did something prudent. 

If he thought about it, this position was similar to him, but at the same time different, each time he was the one behind him or watching someone do the job for him, not the other way around.

But now he could do nothing but wait and see what would happen next. He stands motionless, staring at a dead spot and listening to the footsteps of the person behind him. 

Looking closer, Mikey realized that there were two new people in the room, not just one as he had predicted earlier. 

One of these people was holding a gun to his head and the other was walking around the room without showing his face. 

The situation was beyond his control and that annoyed him to the core, Mikey had never been in a situation where he felt helpless, he always came up with a plan along the way even if at first it doesn't seem to work.

He always does it, and he will do it now. All he has to do is wait for one of the two people to make the first move, because at the moment he was cornered. 

Looking ahead, Mikey was able to see the faces of the six who played an important role in Mikey's life. They were all silent, frozen trying not to make any movement that could annoy the one behind him. 

They all behaved like adults, except for Sanzu, who looks like he has little left and gnaws those ropes on the spot if something happens to his boss. 

However, Mikey didn't pay much attention to him, he left him in his world. He didn't have time for nonsense if he wanted to get out of there.

So he was relaxed, showing everyone in the room that the gun aimed at his head did not scare him at all.  Seeing this, the members of Bonten relaxed, Sanzu having a grin that covered his whole face. 

However, those behind him were not at all impressed by this. The one who was a few steps behind the other had begun to laugh. 

It wasn't that kind of infectious laughter, it was rather hysterical, but Mikey could call it psychopathic.  Exactly five minutes later, the man's laughter stopped, and there was silence throughout the room.

It wasn't long before the footsteps were heard again, this time moving away from where he was. Then his chair was pushed, scratching the floor, and then the mysterious person sat on it with a sigh. 

Even though he couldn't see what was happening, Mikey could tell what was going on in the room just by using his hearing, even though he was unanimous in the end. 

After a while, the man on the chair presses some buttons and then the silence is left over the room once more. After a while, the door to the room opened, and because it was in front of him, Mikey had seen a masked man enter the room.

The man doesn't even look at him, he passes him as if he were not there, as if what is happening now is something very normal for him. 

Or maybe it really is? Mikey doesn't know either. By this time the man had already crossed the room, reaching behind him, out of his sight. 

In the back he can hear some whispers between the two people, only to hear the earlier steps later. Not long after, a bang is heard, not a very loud one, nor a subtle one.
