The Things I Hide

How I Met My Friends Pt 2

"DERP!!!"Derp screams out loud.

He didn't mean too, but I was so mad, that I made my voice be heard...

To everyone...

"Let. Me. Back. In. Control.NOW!!!" I make us scream, and Derp panics.

'Please, I'm sorry. Please don't take my place. I was only out for 30 seconds...'

"No! Your time is up! We will talk about this later!"

Anger flows through me and I "push" Derp away.

I regain composure and blink rapidly waiting for my eyes to fix themselves. I am in control.

I look at the officer, who had fallen back when our knife came his way.

It missed... By 5 feet.

'What the crap Derp, you forget that you can't aim!'

"DID YOU JUST TRY TO KILL ME? THAT IS AGAINST THE LAW TOO!" The officer screams and pulls out a gun. He points it strait at me.

Oh, no.

'Go! Go! Go!'

"Ehvwkaaje!" I tell and book it. The officer follows.
We bob'n weave through the trees so that he doesn't get a clear shot.

As we go further, the forest becomes  dense, and there are high bushes and shrubs everywhere. The perfect place to hide.

Seeing the opportunity, I make a sharp turn , and dive into the brush. The officer stops. He can't see me, but knows that I am near.

I crouch low. Hoping not to make the bushes rustle irregularly.

'I truly am sorry,'

'I know.'

The guy walks slowly with the gun in front of him.

"Come out now, and I won't shoot you."

'Yea right'

The cop turns slowly in a circle looking for the slightest movement.

I WAIT.

When his back is fully turned towards us, we attack.

I jump out of the bushes, and tackle the man. With the burst of adrenaline, both of us fight over possession of the gun.

A shot rings out.

Both  of us are stunned.

The shot did not connect.

We fight stedily, and eventually, I get the upper hand. I yank the gun away and quickly get up. I point the gun down at him, ready to shoot.

He tries to get up.

"Of you move, I swear to god, I will blow your head off!"

"Ok.... ok.. easy... Don't shoot..." he says slowly, raising his hands.

"Give me one reason why I shouldn't. Make it good." I growl and tighten my grip.

"Uh.uh.uh...I have a family... they need me... I'm everything they have left."

"Oh. How sweet," I say mockingly.
"Daddy has a family."
I pause.
"Ok, then. You are free to go. If  you can give me two things."
The officer looked relived.
"Whatever you want... Don't hurt me."
"I need all of your money, and I need something to eat. Do you have any food?"
He swallows hard.
"Here," he says, slowly lowering his hands to his back pocket. He gives me a wallet filled with money.
"Great. Now do you have any food?"
"..I..uh..um.."
If he had some, he would be given it to me.
I smile unevenly, and cock my head to the side.
"No food, huh?"I say evilly, and raise the gun.
I cock it with a loud click, and lower it back to the officer. 

"Sir.. please.. you don't want to shoot me... I can go buy you the best meal you have ever had. And get you more money...If you let me live."

"No. I wanted food right now," I say and smack him with the gun."and our name is not sir. It's Ssundee.......................Any last words?"

"Sir... Ssundee... Please. My kids will have no one to care for them.  No support. They can't take care of themselves. Spare me... For their sake."

"Let me guess. It is against the law to have no parents too."

"Yes! Please let me go back to my family. I will forever be in your debt."

I snicker.

"It's against the law to have no family. That's funny. My mom didn't seem to think that law was important when she disowned me. Good day officer. I wish your kids good luck,"

I say and I pull the trigger. A smile and crazed eyes, plaster my face.

I regret nothing.

The suffering must spread. The kids will now be like me. Alone. They will have to fight to survive.

All because of my mother.

I will get her back if I ever find her.

Just you wait.
