Chapter 1.5

"Is that your girlfriend, Manrique?" I heard the policeman told Chris.

"Crap!" he just replied and hold his gun tighter.

Vougner listen to them attentively, although he still hasn't turn to them. He was facing me, and the moment he heard what Chris' fellow policeman said, I small smile painted in his lips.

I didn't make a move. I just kept standing like I wasn't afraid at all.

What else should I be afraid of? I already lose everything I had. I'm empty.

"Run!" the policeman yells at me.

"Just let her." Christian said.

So I didn't run.

Just let me huh? Well, let see.

Vougner doesn't waste his time. He immediately went near me and he wrapped his arm around my neck. Then he release his gun from his waist and pointed it in my head.

"Just try to make a move and I'll shoot this girl." he threatened.

"THE HELL!" one of the policeman shouted.

"Idiot." Christian muttered.

"Don't make a move." their leader commanded them.

"Put your guns down." Vougner added.

The policemen followed him, except Christian. He just kept his gun pointing at Vougner. Pointing at me..

"Oh, poor you." he looked down at me, then gaze back at Chris. "This man wants you out of his life."

"Yeah, he did." I answered.

I don't know where I find my guts to answer the criminal hostaging me. But I just let it. I have said it anyway.

"Tsk tsk. Poor girl. Say goodbye to the world." he told me as he slowly pull the trigger.

So, I close my eyes. Maybe, this is really the end..

"WAIT!"

I don't know who shouted. But I have the feeling that it was Christian.

"Manrique! Put your gun down!"

But I was wrong.

"Good boy." Vougner said. "Now, let me get out of here peacefully.. Or else, I'm going to end this girl's life."

"You're asking too much, kid." Chris said.

"Really? So you want her to die?"

"I don't care about her. I just care of you getting tammed." Chris said.

It just break my heart.

Vougner doesn't like his reply. So he tighten his arm wrapped around my neck that makes me almost vomit.

Chris still had that cold stare.

Vougner started to walk away from them, as his arm still wrapped around my neck.

The policemen don't make a move, except Christian, again he dares to follow us.

I don't know if I should be happy that he might following us because he want to get me out of here or I should be sad because the real reason is that, he was following us for him to catch Vougner. Not even minding that he's putting my life in danger.

"Don't dare step at the stairs, kid. I'll not think twice of shooting your girlfriend." Vougner threatened him more. His voice is scarier this time. Like he was really stating a truth and that I must be afraid this time.
