Guns And Cave Men

LISA


More than a hundred bullets. I think this is my seventh set of a hundred. I won't stop. It's been two weeks I'm on a firing range, learning how to shoot. I still have the gun Mr. Kim gave me. He actually forgot to take it back. My mind was not focused on the center dot. I am still thinking of Jennie. I am thinking of ways where and how to find her.

After my bullet splurge, I am driving going to the station. I asked for a schedule to meet Clem. It's the first time that they will allow me to talk to him. I went inside, got inspected. Shit. My mind is losing focus and why the fuck I brought the gun with me. Good thing, the officer who checked me is a friend, Harry Gund, one of those authorities who have been looking for my girlfriend. He took it and will just give it back to me when I leave. Luckily, this gun has a license under Mr. Kim's name. Lisa, I know you are out of your mind sometimes because of Jennie's disappearance, but please think clearly. Compose yourself.


I waited inside a special room and I am surrounded by officers. It took a while before Clem came in. He sat in front of me while his wrists are cuffed. He smirked.

"What does my rival need from me? Can't your dick swallow the fact that I touched your fiancée once?" See how an asshole this guy is.

I took a deep breath as I control my fist. Be on your calm state, Lisa. You have police officers around you.

"Jennie disappeared. Tell me where she is. I know that you know what's going on, Clem." I said looking directly into his red eyes.

He smirked again and laughed out loud.

"See? I told you. It wasn't yet the end when you had me arrested. There's more for sure, Lisa. You're smart. You should've known where she is." He said.

I stood up, punched the table. Held his shirt and pulled him towards me.

"What did Jennie do to you, huh? He saved you from hell. Now look, you're back to where you belong." I am shouting at him while the officers stopped me before my punch reached his face.

"Maybe it is your fault why I did all these, Lisa. Go and wander back to your memory lane." He said while he is roaring in evilness.

"How I wish you can sleep at night thinking of your parents feeling so sad about you right now, Clem." My last words and I went out of the room. I cried. An officer accompanied me. He tapped my shoulder as we walked towards their office.

I talked to some of the investigators and led the conversation about the cave pub. The situation of criminality they are explaining to me now is hurting my ears so much. I grasped for air when I heard too that these men sell the organs of their victims when they think a woman is not capable of doing sex and drugs.

I just looked down as my palms rubbed my head going to my nape.

I left the station and roamed around this place that used to be a romantic turf for Jennie and I. It's too much to tell on this story that I am still crying. Fuck. Who wouldn't feel this way losing the one you love. Losing her in a snap. She vanished just like that! We don't have any clue at all.

I hopped from one club to another. Every corner of Paris and other points of France just to look for Jennie. I am driving, walking, aiming to find her in every step. She's nowhere. Where are you? Please come back, Jen. Please do come back.


On my way home, no.

I shifted the steering wheel to the left. Parked my car. Settled near the Eiffel Tower where only few people are gliding around. I walked, gazed at walkers too. I don't know why I am doing this. All I know is I am so desperate in finding my other half.
