Another three hours of the sound of tapping keys BEN finally spins his chair around while emitting a loud sigh of success. The thumb drive has finally been encrypted and BEN is beyond relived.
He grabs the thumb drive and his bottle of Daniels, takes a long swig then slams the bottle back onto his desktop with a loud thud!
BEN's eyes scan over his room for a moment, over his way-to-large-for-his-room bed then to the bloody chains at the end then lastly to his wooden door.
"I've really gotta do something with those chains." the elf mumbles as he walks to the door and leaves the room.
"Now... to find one of those stupid fucking-" SLAM! BEN snaps his head down the hall to the front door.
"Oi! Shut up will ya?!" A rough voice yells.
BEN rolls his eyes. "What the fuck is it this time..." he slowly walks to the stair case and peers over the guardrail to see a man in an orange hoodie with his head turned to a male that is hidden by a wall. After a moment the hooded man looks up at BEN and nods in acknowledgement.
"Hey! I've got that thing that your fucking boss wants." BEN holds the thumb drive between two fingers with an eyebrow raised.
"Cool. Give it here then." The hooded male walks up the stairs then stands by BEN with his hand outreached.
BEN places it in the other man's hand, "What have you been doing all day? You look... irritated." the words hang in the air for a long moment.
The question hangs in the air for a long moment and when the hooded male finally replies he seems like he's being careful with his words, "Just trying to get rid of a pest."
"Another one getting to much information?" The elf smirks.
"Something like that. Fucking police man. The bitch didn't even call but they still came. How?!"
BEN chuckles, "Maybe you just suck bro."
The other male shakes his head, "Maybe." then he turns around and walks down the long hall to deliver the drive to his boss.
The faint sound of sirens greets my ears and a wave of relief washes over me like a much needed shower. I stop walking and stand in the road with a goofy grin on my face when the lights become visible.
I'm going to live! I won't die today!
Hell, maybe they'll even catch the fuck head who chased me with a gun!
As the sound of sirens and the lights get closer, my smile grows wider, I'm going to live!
As the cops get closer it starts to dawn on me how close I was to death and I start to cry.
Through blurred vision, I see the cop cars bend the corner and come to a stop at me.
I won't die today. I'll be able to avenge Amber still. I won't die today.
