OBLIVION (series -1)

Chapter- 18

Mr. Roy offered him some water from the bottle he was carrying for his jogging routine ,in order to make that person calm as he was really freaked out. Once he was all sane again, Mr. Roy , then , inquired him about all the situation. As I was a little far away from them , I couldn't hear the conversation that gave me a setback to my eavesdropping skills. But seeing the expressions from Mr. Roy face completely shifting from calm to absolutely horrified, I could make out that it must be a really bad news!

Mr Roy hurriedly came towards me , held my hand , and started dragging me in the complete opposite direction from the hotel we were staying at! I repeatedly asked him the reason of our running and what did that stranger said to him which completely shifted his mood but all my questions were answered with an utterly annoying silence and a complete desperate attempt of accentuating the distance between us and the hotel which I couldn't understand why?

We were again at the same spot where few minutes ago I was lying lifelessly. I had given up asking any further questions from Mr. Roy and began following him obediently as I had no other option left.

And then from nowhere, a group of men with unruly hair, shabby clothes and dirty faces appeared approaching us but due to the unruly terrain they couldn't see us yet!

'FUCK!' exclaimed Mr. Roy with terrified look on his face.

But why Mr. Roy was so terrified of these men who looked completely harmless and more like homeless people to me.

And in that moment , it struck me to have completely overlooked them, one important detail which I had skipped , they were all carrying different kinds of ammunition over their backs!
