Circuit of Evil [Formula 1]

35 worth living

Maddy's POV
I managed to keep a truck onto the road, while Micheal tried to shoot me, but thanks to some random dudes in a sport car they managed to take Micheal out by running over him. I then watched the sports car appear in my mirror, they lined up with me. My window was shattered and I just kept on driving don't know where to go or what to do. 'Maddy!' I heard a familiar voice shout at me. I leaned towards the opening to see who was shouting at me. When I realised who it was I steered the truck into them. 'Fucking hell.' I could hear Manuel shout as the driver dodged me. 'Listen Maddy, we need you to get off the main road. They're more of them coming!'
When he said that I looked in front of me. 'Who's we?!' I shouted back. 'Charles and I?'

'God please save me.' I muttered. I then nodded at him, and Charles drove the car out in front of me. He led me to the first exit we'd saw, and continued driving for a half hour till Charles eventually took a turn, entering a private property. He slowly pulled the car over and I brought the massive truck to an halt. When it stopped I opened the back door and jumped out. As quickly as I could I walked over to the back and opened the door. It went down slowly while Charles walked over to me. 'Maddy.' He regretted saying my name and turned his head around. In the corner of my eye I watched Manuel grabbing something pointy, when the door fully opened. He climbed in with Charles. I watched all those children terrified little gazes. Charles returned to me as we watched Manuel cut through the restrains of the children. The little boy I hugged last night was next and when he got loose he came running towards me and crashed into my arms. I held him tightly against my body. He cried so loud it almost made me cry. Manuel had cut all of their restrains and when the kids followed Charles. I watched him knock on the door of the farmer who lived her and he handed him multiple bottles of milk. He pressed some cash in his hand and took the bottles in a basket with them. He started to hand the bottles out while the boy started mumble Spanish words at me. Manuel hopped out of the back. And he caught up some of the words the little boy said to me. 'He calls you a saviour assigned by god.' He said to me when he walked away from me towards the crowd of children sitting in the ground drinking their milk. While Charles paid the Farmer another thousand euros for something to eat.

I grabbed the boy's hand and joined them. Charles walked over to me. 'Maddy I should have be honest to you.' He said as he grabbed my free hand and gave it a kiss. He let go off my hand and then sighed. 'If you had told me I wouldn't have saved these kids.' Charles smiled and sat down onto the ground next to some children. I sat down next to him. The boy also sat down, he leaned against my shoulder. Charles yawned a little. 'What a day.' He complained.
I watched Manuel walk into the house and returned together with the farmer and his wife with some bread, vegetables and fresh jam. I hung my head when I saw how hungry these children immediately started eating, but they also shared their piece of bread with each other. The boy next to me was startled he shook his head every single time Charles told him to eat something.

Manuel returned and he handed the boy something to eat. I scooted towards Charles. I then heard Manuel speak to the boy. They were having a whole entire conversation with each other and I didn't understand shit about what they were saying. 'Does Manuel always help children or is it just now?' I asked him. Charles laughed. 'No. Uhm I think he kills people more than that he saves children. But three years back Manuel took over an old harbour, where he found children being sold.' Charles didn't finish his sentence. 'That night we caught a man sexually assaulting a girl. Not even later we found out his name was Micheal. That's where Manuel swore if they'd crossed paths he's slaughter then all.' Charles explained. I felt my instant regret of sleeping with him. 'What's the boys name?' I asked Manuel. He didn't look at me and '¿Cómo te llamas?' I heard him say to the child.
'Juan Sánchez.' He folded his hands in each other and got closer to me. 'Where's he from?' Charles asked Manuel. He shrugged as he continued asking. But the boy didn't want to reply. 'It's okay.' I assured him. 'Mexico.' He then answered us. 'Fucking hell.' I cursed. 'I wouldn't say that we are better than Micheal.' Manuel replied when he looked at the children. Who were eating, talking and singing. Juan handed me something from his pocket. He handed it to me. I looked at the picture in my hand. 'Family.' Juan said.
I saw Juan with a little girl together with their parents. I carefully gave it back to him, and assured him he'd go back to them. But the boy shook his head and then said something. 'They're dead.' Manuel mumbled while the kid continued talking. 'What did he say?' Manuel shook his head. 'I'm not translating that.' Manuel replied. I stood up, I took off my jacket. Charles coughed, 'since when do you have a tattoo Maddy? Your dad would go nuts.' I looked over my shoulder at him.
'They are just two butterflies.'

'No.' Charles said as he stood up and touched my arm. 'You've a DNA string also tattooed on you.' He laughed a little. 'Oh yeah. I remember. I was drunk.' I said as I pushed him away from me. And then I wrapped the jacket around Juan and sat down again. Joan looked at the DNA tattoo, I could see him wipe his thumb over it.

I silently watched him while he was so focused on it. I eventually started to feel cold as I only sat in my tanktop. Charles walked over to the farmhouse as he held his phone against his ear.
My heart beat dropped when Charles had left me alone with my rapist.

He sat too close to me, I wanted to put Juan between us but he had fallen asleep in my arms. While I was almost freezing. 'Is Max picking us up?' I asked him. 'Yeah.' Manuel answered.
'Did he hurt you?' He asked me. 'No.' I replied immediately. 'You hurt me, Lando hurts me. Everybody in this fucked up world wants to hurt me.' I said while I looked around. 'Nothing I've ever done is good enough. Maddy become team principal, Maddy no sex till your married, Maddy don't go to parties don't do this don't tho that. Every single day, I've people ordering me around what to do.'

'You know why I've a god damn tattoo on my wrist?' I asked Manuel. He remained silent. 'I tried to kill myself. Because of all of you.' I said while I could feel a tear rolling down my cheek.
I cried so hard that I woke up Juan. He looked up at me. Manuel lost his words, 'I didn't know.'
'You also tried to kill me. Maybe you should have.' I replied.

Manuel shook his head. 'You forget how important you are to everyone. You fill up an empty space in someone's heart. Maddy. Dean, Max, your team everybody needs you.' He said. Manuel looked at the children. 'Hell even they need you.'
