"Please Louie, let us go!"
"I like it when you are pleasing me."He holds my hand.
I cry in fear.
"Tie me, do whatever you want. You can get my body, but you can never win my heart."
I'm trying to trick him. Hope it works.
He stops and looks at me with a tender face. He stops tying me and wipe my tears. I refuse.
"Just love me again Aneko, that's all I ever wanted.Our passports are ready.My private helicopter is waiting for us.We're going to build a family in Hongkong."
He's crying now. My first time to see him cry. I feel a little pity on him.
AM I TOO HARSH ON HIM?
I look at Mei, she's looking at him intently. And our eyes met. Our eyes talk. I nod at her.
--Mei
COMMON. .!!
My mind speaks. I am currently trying to cut the rope with the small cutter O-ne has given me a while back. She placed it in my hand when she hugged me. She wants me to escape. But I won't leave her though. She's in the hands of a crazy obsessed man. The tie is getting dilate. I whisper a prayer.
I am about to release my hand from the rope when I heard a seagull cry.
'It's Louie!"He was hit by O-ne using a vase.
"ARGGH!"
"Mei run!"O-ne shouts at me.
I am about to get the baseball bat hanged on the wall when I feel the arms wrapped around my neck.
"Where do you think you're going huh?"
"Let her go!"O-ne shouts.
"You're just disturbing my business."He tells to me..
-That's a warning.
-Aneko--
I see Louie's fierce reaction toward Mei.
"Geez! I should have not done that."
LORD, WE NEED YOU..
KNOCK KNOCK!
There's someone outside! Louie motion me to hide while she's still holding Mei. The gun pointing on Mei's waist.
"hey, I think I've got the wrong room number.Sorry."
Here's the rescue. I guess.
He is about to close the door when Mei bites his hand. A harsh loud cry is heard.
"You freak!"He is now pointing the gun to Mei!
I stride toward her direction and tries to stop it.
"Louie No..please!"
"She's naughty huh?"
I try to hide her at my back.
"Common!"He strides forward and gets Mei, the gun still pointing to her.
He knows my weakness. His not pointing the gun to me because he knows I'm gonna fight. But he's pointing it to Mei for me to stop. One wrong move and she'll be dead.
"O-ne!"I hear her crying.
He's pulling her hair, trying to tie it in the bar of the window.
"Please stop it."I cry. I can't stand looking Mei that way.
"If you just have been good to me."
"let Mei go, let me hug her for the last time, and I will go with you. Just don't hurt her."
Louie stops.
"Untie her then. One wrong move Aneko, and she's dead."
I reluctantly followed him. I untie her and hug her tight.
"Be home safe okay?One- always loves you."she whispers.
"have faith O-ne. God won't leave us."she whispers.
I reluctantly smile.
Mei is about to open the door when I see Nicks enters in the room.
Yeah.Nick. Not Cris.
"What the--?"
Louie points his pistol to him.
"Hey! I think I've entered the wrong room number ."NickS raise his hands.
"You moron get out!" Louie is stammering. I bet he didn't recognize him.
Nicks is looking at me, as if as if he's saying that everything will be allright.
I have thought of something. Louie is not expert in to this kind of thing. He's feeling nervous.
I look at Mei
"I said let Mei go!"I shout.
Louie motion Nicks and mei to move on the other side.
"NO.We will go outiside.'He commands me.
We are about to go outside the room when Nicks leaps sideward and punch Louie in his face. Now he's trying to get the gun!
Then in a second we heard a gunshot.
Nicks is hit!
"Nicks!"I cry.
"You know him?"Louie asks, pointing his gun to him.
---Mei--
There's a tension happening.Louie is now pointing the gun to Nicks.
I slowly walk at the back of Louie and reaches the baseball bat. I have to hit him hard.
I am about to hit his head when he suddenly turns to my direction and pull the trigger. I am shot on my right arm.
"Mei!"O-ne shouts. Louie is about to pull again the trigger to me again when O-ne suddenly strides in front of me. She's hit in her waist .
"O-ne!"I cry.
I see Nicks drags Louie and he hits him hard. I ran towards O-ne'.
"Geez!"what have you done!You're risking your life!"
I scold her.
"You did it first."She smiles.
'Run now Mei. Save your life. Sorry for causing you this trouble."
"I won't leave you O-ne."
"Just run!"she gives a commanding voice.
"No. It's our battle." I stand up. I try to reach the baseball bat.
GOD WE NEED YOU RIGHT NOW.
I'm beginning to sag..I'm loosing blood.
Common!
I got it. I walk slowly and closer to the men who are swinging tremendous punches to each other.
I hit Louie in his head. He grims. I am about to outbalance when a strong arm supports my elbow.
It's Cris! I feel relieved.
He cornered me in the other side of the room.
"O-ne, she's loosing blood."I softly say. I am getting weaker now.
"Wait me here. The police are coming.Everything will be allright."Then he started to help Nick, punching hard Louie in his face. He lurches forward and grabs his neck.
"Freeze!"The police.
I sigh.We're safe.
I just found myself being carried by Cris.
-Aneko-
I'm loosing blood, but I'm not loosing my sight.I see Cris comes to rescue us. He first go to Mei, instead of me. Now the police are here, and there's a slight pain on my chest when I see him carrying Mei.
