The 'SINNERS'

4

As the whisper grew louder and louder Martinez heaved in heaviness, as the air was closing, he struggled to breath, he ran around, he stepped into the room on the second floor.

When he stopped, his chest heaved in fear, he panted in anticipation. Soon the whole scenario went silent...... Martinez inhaled a shallow breath and looked around!

Suddenly......

The voice whispered in his ears "You shall come even Closer, Attorney. Martinez." and laughed. Martinez's eyes widened.. And the door shut with a bang!!......

Martinez waited, but Kalix never appeared. Instead, he heard footsteps coming from the floor below. The creaking grew louder, and Martinez's anxiety spiked.

Suddenly, the lights flickered, and the room plunged into darkness. Martinez heard the sound of a flashlight being turned on and saw a beam of light shining down from the stairs.

A figure slowly descended, the light casting eerie shadows on the walls. As they reached the bottom, Martinez saw it was a woman, her face obscured by a hoodie.

"Who are you?" Martinez demanded, trying to hide his fear.

The woman pulled back her hood, revealing a shocking resemblance to the burned figure from the beginning. "I'm the one who's been trying to protect you, Attorney," she said, her voice firm but urgent. "You're in grave danger. You need to come with me, now."

Martinez hesitated, unsure if he could trust her. But as he looked around the dark, sinister room, he knew he had no other choice.

Martinez's eyes widened as he stared at the woman. "Protect me? From what? Who are you?"

The woman's expression was grave. "My name is Maya. I've been watching you, Attorney. I know about your investigation, and I know you're getting close to the truth."

Martinez's mind raced. "What truth? What are you talking about?"

Maya glanced around the room nervously. "Not here. We need to get out of here, now."

She grabbed Martinez's arm and pulled him towards the door. As they reached the hallway, Martinez heard footsteps behind them.

"Run!" Maya yelled, pulling him down the stairs.

They burst through the front door and sprinted down the street, not stopping until they reached a small car parked around the corner.

"Get in!" Maya shouted, unlocking the door.

Martinez hesitated, unsure if he should trust this mysterious woman. But as he looked back at the burned house, he saw figures emerging from the shadows, their eyes fixed on him...

Martinez was stunned by looking at a figure as he focused, he locked his eyes on the figure muttering "Kalix?!"....

When they were far from that house, Martinez was confused and had no idea of what was happening, suddenly Maya stepped on the break.

Martinez turned in wonder "Something wrong?....."
Maya quickly bashed him with the tip of a rod in his head!! Which made Martinez to slowly lose consciousness by asking "whyy?.." in a low voice.
"You shall sleep for a while?" Maya replied in a cold voice....

As he lost his senses...
