Te Quiero

SESENTA Y DOS

I lowered the gun in my hands and flung it to him who caught it. I wasn't sure if he was saying the truth or lying but I swore within me that if he was, I'll kill him immediately. Though, a part of me hoped that he was saying the truth. I decided to play along.

"Are you saying Demorte killed my dad?"

"No. He didn't." Kelvin answered. "He said that he'll tell me more about it tonight so I decided that Bran would hear it himself."

I frowned. "Why can't I hear it myself? It's my father not his."

Kelvin shook his head. "Demorte doesn't know you so, he'll send a bullet to your heart if he sees you at our hideout."

"I can spy. I'll follow you guys then as Demorte is talking, I'll be eavesdropping." What the fuck was I saying?

"This is not a playground, Teresa. You'll get killed by other men in the gang before getting to where he is."Bran said.

"Don't underrate me Bran!" I said and he finally drank the wine in the cup.

"Look, you don't understand what he's saying. It's more dangerous than you think." Kelvin tried to change my mind but, I insisted. "You guys keep thinking that I can't do it. I can."

"How can you spy in a place you've never been before? Worst of all in the night." Kelvin said.

"You know what Kelvin." Bran finally spoke. "She should follow us. This is her dad we're talking about. It wouldn't be fair."

He stood up from the bed swiftly and shouted. "Have you lost your mind?! If they find out that we brought her, we'll be dead before sunrise."

"Calm down." Bran said casually.

"Listen to him Kelvin cause, I'm following you guys either way." I said strictly.

"Both of you have clearly lost it. Oh well, I ain't playing this dirty game with you." He said looking into Bran's eyes. "If she gets caught, don't mention my name and you too Teresa. I don't want my name in this. I'm already on a punishment and I don't want an extra one." He moved closer to Bran. "Tell him that I wasn't aware of her coming."

My eyes turned to Bran who was nodding. "Sure."

I heaved.

We got into the car and it was a silent drive. Bran told me that he'd sit behind so I sat beside Kelvin who was driving.

You'd think I'm crazy but the reason why I wanted to spy was so I could kill Demorte at the spot if he was the murderer.

My heart began to beat faster and the blood in my veins were moving with an immeasurable speed. I was excited that I was very close to the murderer and was ready to kill at the spot. I was unstoppable.

We left the city and before I realized, the car stopped. I took some time to inspect my surrounding. There were so many trees on both sides of the road then I recalled that I've been here before. Bran brought me here the day he cuffed my hand to the door. I groaned at that thought.

Kelvin sighed. "Teresa if you're doing this, I need you to be extra careful because my bro likes you a lot so I like you too. You can think this through and wait in the car. We'll tell you everything that happened."

"Forget it. I'm not changing my mind." Immediately, thoughts of my mum and brother flashed in my head. What will happen to them if I die tonight?

One, they'll be devastated.

Two, Mum's hypertension may worsen and maybe this time, she'll kick the bucket.

Three, Daniel would be taken to an orphanage home and might be unlucky then get cruel parents.

They got out of the car and noticed I was being reluctant.

"Should we wait for you or we should just go?" Kelvin asked through the window.

"I'm not going to die!" I said to him with passion and he stepped back in awe.

It was at that moment he knew I was damm serious. "Cause I can't leave them." I completed under my breath.

Then,  I tried to open the door and figured that my right hand was cuffed to the door's handle.

The fuck.

I was shocked! When did this happen?!

I moved my gaze to Bran who was standing in front of my door. "You did this!"

He nodded.

Then, it dawned on me. He wanted to sit behind me so he could cuff me and this was successful because my mind was overwhelmed with the fact that I'll soon kill the murderer. Shit!  The second time.
I blurted out. "Fuck you."

Then he said. "I won't watch you kill yourself with your own hands."

He was saying nonsense. "Release me now."

Kelvin walked closer to him and gave him a handshake. "I hope she doesn't scream. That'll alarm the guys on watch tonight."

"Fucking cunt let me..." I kept cursing out loud but all to no avail.

"She won't. She wants to take out the murderer before she gets killed and not the other way around." He said and they walked into the woods. Bran was right. I was alone in the car with no weapon so, if I alerted any gang member, I'll be killed instantly.

Shit!

Yoooo! Don't forget to vote my guys.
