Chapter 68
I paused in my tracks and slowly turned around, a really dreading thought settling in the depth of my stomach, making me feel extremely nauseous.
Was this it?
These are the guys we’ve been looking for? The group?
“So, I really don’t wanna waste anyone’s time here so I’m gonna go straight to the point, where the hell id the real diamond?” The one who seemed to be the leader of the three men spoke slowly and not so loudly but somehow it felt like he was screaming those words directly in my ears.
“And who the hell are you?” I threw back, consequences be damned.
“Aren’t you afraid of a gun, big guy? Believe me when I say that I’m going to blow your stupid brains off, you dumb fuck of a human being.” The one who halted me before spoke up this time while taking a threatening step towards me, I felt my heartbeat quicken bu refused to give in to the urge to take a step back like the fucker expected. The man paused a few inches before me, the pointed gun almost touching my forehead but I didn’t flinch, neither did I stop looking into his eyes from the holes in the mask.
“Back off, man. He’s a fearless motherfucker, let’s just get what we came here to do.” The leader called out to the guy pointing a gun at me and I visibly flinched like a dirty slap landed on my cheeks unexpectedly, why does that voice sound so effing familiar?
The guy pointing the gun at me probably thought he already got a reaction from me and redrew his pointed gun, he also turned around and went to stand beside the remaining two guys. I looked around for Tristan and found him standing still a few feet behind me, a gun pointed towards him by the third guy but his focus was barely on the gun, instead his gaze was on the leader who was quietly exchanging a few words with the second guy.
Why does it feel like I know that dude?
“So, chop chop, we ain’t got all day, yo. Where’s my fucking diamond?” The second guy barked at me as he once again raised the gun at me while the remaining guys watched quietly.
“We don’t have it.” I replied calmly as I quickly glanced towards the stairs, a part of me seriously praying that Nicole, Aria, Daven and Esther completely remain upstairs. A part of me was already sure that they’ve probably heard what’s going on all the way upstairs due to how loud these people were being, at least they were not running down the stairs in fright and endangering themselves.
“What the fuck do you mean you don’t have it?” The man barked, clearly worked up.
“It means WE-DONT-HAVE-IT.” I said a little louder and way slower than before and the man uncorked his gun again and pointed it directly at my head once again, I’m sure if his mask got taken off now, he’d be red with anger.
“Shut the fuck up, fool. You’re playing with me, obviously. Maybe what was done to your pussy of a brother is suddenly something you crave, huh? Too bad you’re not underaged, I’d still do it to you if it would get you start thinking before you talk to me.” He said right into my face after taking menacing steps towards me and the long ringing that always occurred each time I lost control on my emotions started resounding loudly in my ears and I wrapped my hands around his neck before I could stop myself, I growled as I brought my leg up hard against his groin and held him up by his throat when he was about the go down with a loud cry, the ringing in my ear getting louder second after second.
“Fuck you. For ruining my brother’s mental health, fuck you. For causing us stupid problems over a diamond that isn’t yours, fuck you, for having the guts to follow us all the way here after trying to kill us twice in one night by sending us off with a bomb and shooting at our plane, fuck you!” I screamed into his face, his wheezing sounds barely entering my ears due to how loud the ringing in my ear was resounding.
I pulled my hands away from his throat and he dropped before my feet in a heap, his gun clattering loudly on the floor. I kicked his hard in the ribs as I reached for the gun but the leader was suddenly behind me, he bent and pick the gun up while shaking his head a little.
“Now, now big boy. I know how monstrous you can be, but I’ll need you to reel it all in until I get what I came here for.” The leader said to me and I blinked a little while staring directly into his eyes… Why does his voice sound so familiar?
The second guy groaned and I watched his pull off his mask off and alas, it was the sick fuck from xobra. The one I has vowed to deal with any time I laid my hands on him, too bad I’m not even with a gun at the moment.
“Fuck you, Lucas. You watched him almost choked me to death and you couldn’t even do a thing, huh? You slimy fuck. I thought we were partners, huh? We are supposed to have each other’s back for Christ’s sake. How the hell am I going to get up with my balls literally burst open and my throat cracked?” The guy from xobra moaned from his position on the floor, glaring daggers at their leader as he ranted like he usually does…
Whoa, whoa, whoa…
Did he just say Lucas? Lucas?
