HIGHWAY

22

"When I tell you to go to a safer place it does not mean this, you useless son of anaconda."

Another shot fired.

"You could do better"

"Yes, because somebody, dammit, has to."

Another shot fired.

"You don't tell me what to do what not to do. Hell, your ass is just 24 still it's me who has to carry it and protect it. Because, all you can do is nothing."

"Oh really, nothing─"

"Oh, yes. Nothing, you useless cocksucker. Look, who came to rescue your tiny little ass when it was hiding behind a desk making an action scene turn into a romantic one. I mean seriously, what were you doing there by the way, you know this was not the right time to kiss your side hoe or to eat pussy while there are men out here firing at you. I know I know, it sounds fun and wild but what if we never came for you?"

"What are you sa─"

"All I am saying is you are kido."

Another shot fired.

"And that's what you will be for the rest of your life.─"

"─Will you sto─"

"─And do you understand the pressure that is there on me? NO! because you are enjoying fucking around with...," Finally the two people came to a halt and their gaze turned towards me. The shots were being fired around the room by Janne none with a purpose to kill him but yes to give him a hole in his body. Jon for his life, ducked around jogging here and there being chased by Janne trying his best to save himself from her wrath. I had no idea what to make of the scene presented in front of me, whether to call it a play of Tom and Jerry or a funny way of killing someone. I chose to stand there awkwardly at the corner.

"Diana." Jon spoke on my behalf, thankfully as I was feeling a little nauseous, as he stood with a good feet distance from Janne. His eyes on her while her on mine.

I gulped. Whoever she was she didn't seem a really good company to be with when I saw her pointing her gun on Jon's head that day, she pointed with an intention to kill him. She had rage in her eyes which nowhere seem to be amusing. If Jon seemed dangerous to somebody, she would look like satan came to earth as female.

The way she looked at me mimicked Jon's favorite expression, impassive expression.

She strode towards me as I took few steps back hitting the wall. I saw Jon started to walk in Janne's direction but he was too late.

She reached me and I accepted my coming fate.

I felt my hands tremble and to keep my self stand straight looked like a challenge.

Without even blinking she raised her arm, the one with the gun.

If anything that was worse than Jon's look, it was the look in her eyes.

"Janne─" Jon called out cautiously as he jogged the last few steps to reach her.

"─Ops!─."

"─The gun"

She dropped her arm, confusing me, as holstered her gun before raising her arm once again, this time with the palm stretched for handshake. Very casually, she stood there in front of me "We havn't met before, thanks to this guy," rolling her eyes, she nodded towards Jon who now stood beside her "It's Janne."

I looked at him then back at her.

I looked at him then back at her with wide eyes.

Both their expressions unreadable.
