The Traps of the Black Swan

35

Sean was soaked in his sweat. 'Am I dying?' He never in his dream thought they would kill him so easily without even checking who he is.

He also realized Ruby Jane was very certain they were going to kill her. 'How was she so sure? Just by the card in it?'

He realized the card was to scare her so that she would quickly leave the restaurant and they could capture her. But his arrangement delayed their plan and he became the victim.

He accepted he is a child which Ruby Jane always called him. Other than making murmur sound trying to retaliate in his position he had no other choice and they didn't care to know why he was struggling so badly.

He can't think straight anymore, everything's becoming a blur as he started to accept he was going to die soon. He didn't want to accept it but his tired mind and helplessness could only accept the defeat.

A blurry man was yet to press the trigger of the gun, another man's voice sounded, "Boss asked us to wait for his arrival."

The man who was holding the gun smirked and lowered his hand. They have to follow the orders of their boss at any cost so he sat on the chair.

Sean who was waiting for his death internally sighed and was also happy that Seungri was coming but what if their boss isn't Seungri? It started to worry him more by ignoring the pain.

Mike who had woken up a long back didn't dare to make a sound. He was in the same position as Sean, hands tied up and legs tied together. He also started to wonder what if they weren't Seungri's people. Even if they were he didn't have a chance to speak due to tape on his lips.

Slightly opening his eyes, he saw three men smoking and drinking at a little distance while another one was using his mobile in the room. His eyes scanned the room to see many illegal weapons stored inside. From the torturing equipment to snipers, all were assorted cleanly on the wall with proper holders for it.

If they belong to Seungri, Mike understood the underground power of the man and how deadly he is. Seungri isn't the one to be messed with, he understood soon and was partly glad his friends didn't do anything to Sean else if Seungri traced it to him, he would have killed him.

He soon analyzed they were in the basement but the pungent smell furrowed his brows on the tensed face. Blood smell! His eyes widened identifying the stink.

He wasn't sure if it is an animal or human blood stench but his legs were wobbly and breath heavy in fright. He shut his eyes when the man near them turned towards him.

That man smirked, noticing his squeezed eyes and guessed he was awake but he didn't care about Mike.

When Mike opened his eyes again, that man was setting a fine powder on the table in a straight line. He was guessing whether that man was going to insufflate and he gulped in nervousness recognizing the white powder as drugs.

Slowly rolling the banknote, that man lowered his head with one end of the note pipe at his nose and another end near the powder. In just three seconds, that man snorted the white powder to his nostrils and let out a low long groan leaning back on the chair, closing his eyes.

Mike wasn't sure what scared him the most but he couldn't control from pissing in his pants. The pungent smell of his pee with the blood smell was nauseous to Mike and Sean both nevertheless that man started laughing freaking out Mike.

Yet, Mike didn't dare utter a single word squeezing his eyes shut and hoping somebody to save him.

....

At two deep into the night, everything was deadly silent except the breathing of the men in the basement.

They heard dress shoes tapping on the ground indicating a man entering inside with the other shoes creating meeker sound. The men who were in black-uniformed clothes quickly went to the main door of the underground and bent in ninety degrees for the deep bow giving their respect.
