The Hunter and The Prey

Chapter Sixteen

The Hunter and The Prey

Chasen's gun was yank away from his waist. He receives punches around his chest area as he wrestled with the one who took his gun. Two bodies drops on the ground as he punches them hard. A whack of blunt metal in his head halts him momentarily and it was enough for two men to jump at him and pinned him on the ground. They handcuff his hands and feet, then the men he punches gave a few swings in his diaphragm. They'd been told not to injure his face; he must be recognizable when his parents saw him on the video they will send.

"You rich kid is the reason business is suffering a slide down hill, kiddo," said the olive toned bearded man, as he picks him off the ground by his front shirt. "We knew it, if we located the Barry girl and leaked her whereabouts you'll come hunting her," another swing of the right hand, Chasen coughs uncomfortably, "she is the bait all along and you will gonna pay for everything you cause, soldier." A thump again and Chasen was spitting blood.

"Nice played, low life," he spitted.

"Well it is just the first legged of our plan, Fritzcole, let's see how mommy and daddy will waste half a billion for your dead body. We will kill you after we are done collecting the ransom, kiddo. Get the girl, she will be useful later."

Natalie was yank by her wrist and poke to follow the rest. She escapes his knuckles but more terrible things will come in her way again. It was so unfair. There was a hidden cave near the river and it was big enough to accommodate them; it was the same place she spent her first night here.

"Kali," said a short man to the man who gave Chasen several punches.

"What is it, Eli?"

"Azir and Deril wanted you to be very careful with the Fritzcole for now and let the girl with him for a while, they said they can negotiate with the President with her head too or butcher her for body parts," said Eli.

The word butcher sent shiver all over her body. Butcher her like an animal? Why can't they just kill her with one fire of the gun? She thought miserably.

"And she added with the bank rolling," he chuckled, "it's a thanks to you young lady that we captured this bastard here. We profit for your heads but we end up killing you in the end. A lovely affair, none of you won the fight, huh, instead we triumph. Took us years to finally end the threat brought about by this kiddo here and all illegal activities moves on," chuckled Kali.

They settled them inside the cave and doubled checked their handcuffs. Three guards were watching them as they jabbered in different language. Kali was talking to Azir and Deril as they plan how to send the video to the parents so they can know they had their son. Natalie couldn't believe what's happening to her. So the kidnappers took her first to become their live bait for Chasen to come looking for her and they in return will be the true capturer. Nicely planned and she will die soon with her hunter. The predator becomes the prey just as he thought he had the prey in his arms. And she will pay in his debts, too.

"Frishads," whispered Chasen as he continues to watch the guards talking in Arabic and heard the Kali guy talking to Azir and someone else. Evidently, he knew their language and understands their jabbering. This is unexpected, as far as he is concern. He didn't travel to Brazil to be captured and be killed; his set of mind was to eliminate Ms. Barry but this surprised move from the foes caught him off guard. He needed to plan and escape before they kill him here.

"Oi! You!" boomed Kali suddenly that Natalie nearly jumps in fright. "Tore your clothes and use it to wipe the rich bastard. He should be recognizable when his parents see him. Go on or I'll let the boys feast in you!"
