The Secrets To Be Told

Chapter 19: betrayed

We reached to a dark spot in the woods. I preferred not going further in as it would let them know our presence. Giving them even the slightest clue that we would be here is like planning for our own death. We didn't have guns , knives nor any thing that would help us in defence. We were just two young helpless men who looked like we have gotten everything under control but the truth was we didn't even know the exact way to the mansion. Now I was pretty scared. With Robert... I am pretty sure that we could not even handle one single man. At least that's what I know about him.

But we were pretty good at playing tri ks on people... Robert had an idea of distracting the men by entering in first while I wolud find where father was and save him. Then knock these men out from behind. Though this plan had very few chances of working out I thought of giving this a try and anyways we didn't have a choice either.

In the dark We didn't which side would lead us to the mansion. I stared to walk towards my right in a random guess and suddenly something just grabbed my coat and I fell the other way around. Robert help me up while I saw a cluster of grey fog between the trees. I felt that this would be the right path and without my consciousness I started to walk through. Robert called out to me trying to stop me but I just didn't react and I don't know why.

And all of a sudden this white fog disappeared and I stopped. Robert came running behind me.
"Wow you remember the routes very well"he said.

I turned to see it was the mansion. We were not close to it but we could see it from a distance. A huge orange fire was burning in. We tip-toed towards a huge rock. Robert than wished me a good luck and asked me to follow him slowly and do as planned. That's where I was panicking a lot. We stood at the back of the pillars attached to the iron gates. The burnt building had almost ashes left with few pillars like structures here and there. There was this huge fire burning right in the middle and at one corner my father was tied up. He was on his knees. There were not just two but instead they had four men with guns and it was just two of us unarmed. Robert was scared what if they shoot him as soon as they see him and even if he creates a distraction how am I gonna help father out. He was surrounded by men.

But what else could be done. We ha d to stick to the Plan and move on. We added on making a deal with them on money. As said Robert slowly went closer and my heart beats ran fast. Like a dummy he went on straight to the man and he put his hands up. He was trying to make a deal with them.
I couldn't hear them clearly. Robert was also on his knees now. Thank god they didn't shoot him. I could have done this better then him. It was like we planned to get caught. It was my turn now I took a huge piece of wood with me and went inside. I croched down and walked inside slowly to a corner at the back side of the mansion. Taking a huge stone I broke it down that created a noise. One of the men walked towards the noise just like I wanted. He was a new guy. He was Lean and unsteady. Looked like he was drunk. I hid behind a small tree that grew in there. He looked around with his lantern and turned back as he didn't see me. I took chance by closing his mouth and hitting him hard in his head. Despite of me closing His mouth his falling Down made a noise. I was certainly spotted by them. One those men came walking towards me and I just kept staring not knowing what to do. His body was like a huge rock. He lifted me up by my collars and soon I was tied up on my knees too.

Robert stared at me like this is our end. And I felt like that too. My father was beaten up black and blue. He looked at us like why we were here. They loaded there guns to shoot Robert and me.

There was a gun from behind at the head of the scared man. Lucky us it was the inspector Roger Trigger. He smiled at us and we were too happy to see him. We just didn't know why he was here? How he was here but he was justt Here. I quickly got up on my foot and thanked the officer.

"Fools who did you believe in " my father yelled from behind.

SOON ROGGER'S GUN WAS POINTING ON ME
