Wild World

Is that?

We begin to head out.
"What was that?" Kylie says pulling on my hand.

"Whats what?" I ask walking.

There is a sound of nylon moving
"That?" she says.

"This is a city, on Earth, nylon is every where .Now let me enjoy my chips. " I say taking my chips from my back pocket.

There is another vigorous shaffle and thats not normal.

"What about that?" she asks again.

"Fine ,if we look please promise its the last time you will ever be paranoid." I say opening the trash can.

She nods.
I look inside but there is nothing but black garbage bags and the stinck.

I climb down the can.
"See...nothing." I say getting down.

"Its probably rats, mice or even snnnaaakkkkeeeessss!" I say making funny faces.

She shrieks. "You know i hate snakes." she says looking around.

"Come on lets go before I pass out." Kylie says taking my hand to pull me off the can.

Sudennly there is muffled voices in the can.
There is shuffling.

"How big is the snake,mouse,rat?" I ask opening the can.

My eyes are wide saucers. Is that a leg...am gonna pass out.

"If I told you am seeing a leg in here would you scream?" i ask Kylie.

She nods vigorously.

"Please scream." I say jumping off the bin.

"Lets get out of here." I say.

"What if there is a person?"

"We leave him/her."

"We cant do that. He will get crashed up when the garbage is collected by the SMASHERS company." Kylie explains.

"More reason to get out of here." I say.

She jumps into the bin. "Am not letting someone we could help die." she says.

" No no no aaaaahhhhw now we are involved!" I say flatly jumping into the bin.

I throw the trash bags out. Now we have to do tripple the job.

Throw them in then now out then back in. I come face to face with a bruised face and something stuffed in his mouth. I quickly  remove all the trash bags off of his body.

"I think this was what the big guys meant when they said we should take anything that needs our pity." Kylie says fast but i hear it.

"What do we do?" she asks.

"Now that he has seen us, I don't think we can leave him here." I say pulling him out safely and onto the ground.
Men he is heavy.

He moves his head as if  trying to say something.
I pull out the piece of cloth out of his mouth.

"Help me please."  he says with teary eyes.

"Why are you in a bin in the first place?"  I ask untying his hand.

  "Don't open the jacket zipper. " he shouts to me.

I pause.

"Why dude? We ain't gonna rape you if you think that of us which is..."  I say but he cuts me off.

"No! If you open that thing we are gonna be blown into bits. The bomb is held between this tight jacket  and my body. No safety pin." he says shaking.

I stand up tagging Kylie with me.

"Please don't leave me to die." he shouts desparation in his voice.

"Please I beg of you." he says trying to move.

"Do you trust me?" I ask Kylie.

"Of course Roma, you are my bestie." she says shaking.

"We get him into the truck and drive back home." I say nervously.

"What if we are all blown into bits.In the car?" she says pacing around.

"If its our day to die ,so be it buts lets die knowing we tried to help him." I say holding her.
We take the guy into the truck but he is already passed out.
We are carefull and Kylie holds him firmy. I start the engine and  drive smoothly.

I pick up my phone and dial.

"Hello, Jego, meet you at our house in twenty minutes." I say looking at Kylie.

"You good?" I ask her hanging up the phone.

"Am more than petrified." she says.

By the time we get home we are all sweaty from the fear.

I park the truck and help get the guy out.

We safely carry him into the house and into our room.
Within a few seconds there is a knock and I rush to open it.

"Hey Jego ,it's a matter of die or die." I say taging him along.

"Did anyone die?" he asks.

"Almost." I say pointing to the guy.

"He claims he has a bomb on him, under the jacket. He passed out minutes ago. "
