At Gun Point

~05~

"Aah.....what the hell?Don't kill him I need information!" I exclaimed.
Melinda was holding the white man by his balls.
His eyes were so big and protruding like they were about to pop out of their sockets. His mouth was agape, shouting all pleading words in line. One after the other,like a rapper. It was so horrific. She was merciless pressing hard on his balls and all. The room was filled with his noise,his face was now pale and red. I didn't know being pinned by the balls was so excruciating. I felt like they were my balls which were being grinded and ravaged by Melinda.

The thought send some chills in my body. She wasn't herself anymore,anger and the need for revenge was taking toll in her head. I then staggered forward and took the white man's pistol which was lying on the table. I put it behind my back buckle, in between my buttocks and just on top of my belt. The white man was naked on the floor turning and wailing.

I looked at Melinda, she has now calmed down and a slight smile was forming on her red lips. She came from behind the table and ran straight into me,hugging me so closely with all her energy. Making sure not to press against my countless bruises and wounds. Uttering the words, 'Thank You.' She had forgotten that she was half naked. Her breasts were all gleaming in the bulbs' wake. She seemed not caring anymore. She then gave me a short kiss on my lips during her ordeal. I remained silent,pulled her closer to me and returned the kiss on her lips. We smiled, acknowledging our short victory. I then looked at her boobs and that's when she realised she wasn't wearing anything atop. She looked me in my eyes and grinned,I also returned the smile. Those feelings returned again but they seemed to be distorted due to the battering I have received plus exhaustion as a bonus.

I then proceeded to ask if he had rapped her. Her first answer was moving her head sideways. Since she was now getting well dressed. She then said,"He was about to when I grabbed his.....I just played nice initially,like I was cooperative. With his foolish lust he bought my deception. I'm not a fool, you know!Though I'm quite." She was kicking the man in the face while saying this.

All this while I was thinking about how we were going to escape. I then heard some heavy boot footsteps that were moving fast like the person was running and they became indistinct after the opening of a door. The person has gone to the basement. I was supposed to act fast. Merriment time was over. I searched all the men, emptying the contents of their pockets. I took their wallets and phones stuffing them in my pockets.

The other guard was still alive,the first one I have shot,but his pulse was weak. He was dying, he has lost a lot of blood. The whole room was now seeming like a blood bath battle field. We didn't have much time to save survivors of no importance. I used some black cloths I have found in the pants of one of the guards to gag and blind fold the white man. He was now limp. Pain has done him no good. He deserved it though.

I then threw the cocaine in the briefcase on the floor and put the laptop in there and some papers which were scattered on the table.
I gave the briefcase to Melinda and a pistol I have found in one of the guards pants. When I handed her the gun,her first reaction was denial, then I told her the war wasn't over for we still needed to deal with those eight before others have come back. By this,she took it but with a careful expression on her face. I then told her she has to use it where necessary. She agreed by nodding. We made a tacit agreement.

I then changed the magazines on the rifle and the automatic machine gun, putting full ones. I was heading into the War Zone and full preparation was needed. I have seen many movies where a single hero came successful with the Queen beside him. And they will live happily ever after. This wasn't the case though but I had to save Melinda,If I don't,I would have done nothing. If she dies here,the void wouldn't be filled,even my wife wasn't going to fill it forever. She was a jewel to be retrieved from a dragon guarded cave. I was going to take her with me no matter what.

I then took hold of the drug cartel boss, who was lying on the floor,helping him to his feet. I quickly helped him to put his clothes back. He was bad but I wasn't like him,I was a father at home. The thought of my family flashed in my mind at that very moment. I brushed it aside that very moment again. I have learned that what you cherish the most may become your weakness or strength in life. So the task at hand was the most important and those other issues will be first preference when I'm out of this mess.

I then heard some foot steps coming up like they were clattering against a wooden ladder. Someone was coming out of the basement. I quickly took those handcuffs we were cuffed with an hour or so ago and put them on the boss. I then took the automatic machine gun and held it in my right hand and grabbed the white guy with the other. I strapped the rifle across my back,signaling Melinda that we were going out and she was supposed to trail behind me.
I opened the door and pushed the man outside. When we have slipped outside,we came face to face with Bison,that big crude animal of a man. He then stopped in his tracks and uttered the word 'fuck!'He shot in our direction and the bullet caught his boss on the right shoulder. I released the bullets in the automatic machine gun towards Bison in a staccato. He tried hard to evade my shots but to no avail. One went to his side and the other ones maimed his legs and he crumbled to the ground,his gun shooting aimlessly.

That's when Melinda released a bullet, shooting aimlessly, just out of fear and confusion,I guessed. I shouted a big 'NO!' The bullet went and shot on the other door just when someone was coming out. The figure fell forward, writhing in pain. He was one of the eight guards,Rambo. I saw it was him by his stature.

Melinda started to cry aloud, thinking she has killed someone,throwing the gun away in the process. I just gazed at her and made a mental note,WOMEN!They never change,they are the same person wherever you go. Weak and so silly sometimes but, a strength to us man most of the time. We would have been without order and purpose if they weren't around. Few can stand the challenge, most of them they fret and crumble or run for their lives. They are the weaker versions of us men and we should protect them whatever it takes.

I then gestured her to calm down and she complied. She has began to trust me so much just like what my wife does. Didn't she saw the ring on my finger?Maybe that's not the case,she is just reacting to the situation, just like any reasonable woman. Women seeks protection in any man if need be. That's the way it is,let me leave the ball rolling.

The white guy was now hanging like a scarecrow in my hands,painting heavily with agony. I pitied him. What on earth was he thinking he was doing? He thought he will just do whatever he likes with who ever he likes. That's impossible. Life is not fair. Some hours ago he was romping around like the god of the underworld watching the souls of the wicked dead cry foul in the depths of Tarturus and now he was like a staggering drunkard lost in his tracks. That's why I have always wanted to stay away from dirt deals. They claim your life in the end. What a shame.

A slightly muffled gunfire startled my mind and it was coming from the basement. More gunfire followed,more erratic than our own ordeal with the other guards and Bison. I didn't know what was going on down there, but it was not good. An onslaught. People were dying. Some risking their lives for others and others defending their cause. My eyelids were wet now, perpetrated by Melinda's incessant crying. I left her to get her fill out it. Even the Bible says each and everything has its own time and there was a time for all this. It was marked that it will happen. A time for peace and merriment is also there. It's called life,it has its own twists and bends. Who ever thought I will ever got entangled with all this mess.
