Chapter 68: RUN
CHAPTER SIXTY-SIX:
RUN
--
Inside a ck van was a chaotic 5 men. The rock musicing from the speakers were loud, it was
irritating in the ear, but for some reason, the men inside were also shouting along the music. Their drive
is not steady at all since their drive look drunk and all. They were so noisy that their noise even
escaped the van, but no passerby nor other vehicles are annoyed by it. Because there were none in
the first ce. The ck van was driving alone on an abandoned road. The road was rocky and
grassy. It looks like it has not been maintained for a long time. Their surrounding was quiet, the only
source of sounds were their noise and the rustling of the leaves when birds fly away from the trees or
landing to take a rest on the branches.
Other than that, the ce is oddly dark and silent. They can see nothing but the bumpy straight road
and the tall trees. They were in the middle of a forest.
“Hey, hey, hey!” The man in the front seat called out for his noisypanion on the back that were
ying cards. He as a bandage on his head, the white bandage has a hint of blood oozing out from the
back of his head. “What do you want to do with the money we have?”
“Boss!” A man shouted against the loud music. “What else? Woman! Liquor! And Gambles! The money
is big as fuck- we have to enjoy to the fullest!”
The man next to himughed out loud then smacked him on his shoulder. “Fuck yeah! We have to
thoroughly enjoy it. That kind of amount is hard toe by- we have to use it as soon as possible!”
The three on the back startedughing in agreement then went back to ying their cards. The man
with the bandage looked at them like he is looking at a trash that magically had a mouth, arms, and
legs.
These three stupid idiots, that amount of money is hard toe by so they must spend it wisely! Yet
these men with muscr bodies have nothing but stupid things in their mind. It was irking him.
Whatever, they will split the money, and about what kind of stupidity they will do to theirs, he has no say
about it. He has no rights to intervene, nor do they have to his. Everything’s fine as long as they won’t
crawl towards him with empty pockets.
The driver looked at their boss’s and immediately knew what is going inside his head. Heughed it off
and said, “Don’te knocking on our door is you lost everything you have to gambling, okay?! If you
do, I’ll make sure to bury a bullet inside your head!”
The three, not taking it seriously, saluted at him. “Yes sir!”
Then they went back to ying cards again. The driver focused on the road even though he is a little
bit tipsy. “But you know what, the amount is really ridiculously big. We did not even do anything.”
The boss looked at him and shrugged. “That’s the best part of it; we did nothing that bid but we still got
a huge amount of dors.” His lips stretched out into a big sinister grin. “I don’t mind if she contact us
again. I’ll be more than happy to take any request she’ll have.”
“…” The driver was silent. “Still, it’s suspicious.”
“Huff! What’s not suspicious when you deal with people from the ‘underground’? As long as the deal is
fulfilled- it’s okay!”
“Well, you’re not wrong…” Their boss’s phone vibrated. There was message.
Five pair of eyes looked at the phone that was lying on the dashboard. After seeing whose number it
was, the excitement in their blood boiled. One of the men on the back threw his card away and nudged
their boss. “Boss- boss! Read it! It’s our employer for today!”
“Shut up,” he shouted at the man before lowing down the volume of the music. “I’ll read it, stop rushing
me.”
Truthfully, he was also exited. He wanted to contact the other first to ask if they have another mission
for them, but the rules on the ‘underground’ is to not contact the employer first. So, seeing them
sending a message is basically an answered prayer. He giddily picked the phone and unlocked it, after
reading the message, his excitement went down.

Sender: #########
Good evening, I hope I am not disturbing your night. I was looking through everything you did in the
hotel and thought that you did well, but, unfortunately, I am dissatisfied with something. I was thinking
of getting back the money I wasted on you, but I also thought it’s not enough to quench my
dissatisfaction.
---
“What are they talking about?” The driver said. Hepletely stopped the van. “Dissatisfied to what? I
thought it was enough-“
The phone rang- it was their employer calling. The five exchanged nces before the boss’s epted
the call. He pressed the phone on his ears, and said, “Hello?”
But no one talked, he checked again but the line was still there. Every second that ticks by felt like
eternity. And every time the clock’s hand moves, it feels like something ising on their way. It was
getting near and near. The boss called out again but like the other wasted seconds, no one answered.
He begun sweating heavily, oddly, the atmosphere outside turned darker. The trees danced violently
upon the harsh passing wind. Like avoiding their predators, countless birds flocked away from them.
Their wing pping against the wind sound so eerie. The other three started shivering, the driver was
also turning pale.
The boss tried to remain calm. What kind of bullshit makes them scared? They killed countless of
people as of today, why would they get scared now?
But no matter how hard he denies, the loud thumping of his chest can’t deny that fact-
He’s scared.
As silence surrounded them, someone suddenly chuckled.
Five of them jumped in fear, they can even feel their souls leaving their body. The loud beating of their
hearts and the ‘beep, beep’ tone of the phone that indicates the end off the call was loud and clear. The
phone vibrated again, and the boss opened the message and fear and hurry.
---
Sender: #########
So, I did something that I can enjoy! Now…
---
The message ended there, or so they thought. But when it vibrated again, another message showed
up.

Thest message sent shivers to their spines.
“Shit-“ Their driver said. “Shit- shit! I knew it! There’s something wrong with them!”
“Fuck…” The boss muttered. The other three on the back started panicking. He yelled at them to shut
up. He was panicking too, but he tried to hide it. If all of them panicked now, none of them will survive.
“Shut up! Stop panicking! Don’t worry- they- whoever that is- can’t hurt us!”
“Y-yes!” One of them agreed. “They can’t! We are under that group of hitman- it’s against the rule to kill
us!”
“Yes, as long were in that group- no one can hurt us-“
His phone lit up again. The boss hurriedly took it and read the message. Every word he reads, the
paler he got. The driver was rmed- he begun shaking him. “What- what is it?!”
“Shit,” he said, his energy starting to fade away. “The group- they announced that were not part of
them- we were betrayed!” His eyes begun to re in anger. “They betrayed us! They abandoned us!
Those motherfu--!!!”
He froze, his eyes were glued on the side mirror. His heart thumped again, the way how fast it’s
thumping is, you can easily mistake it as a running horse. “Fuck!”
“What is it this time!”
The boss begun to p him panicky while his eyes still glued on that mirror, fear is evident in his eyes.
With chains of swearing, he shouted. “Drive! Turn on the engine! Go, go! NOW!”
“Wha-“ his eyes identally looked at the mirror, and what he saw made him almost pissed his pants.
The other three saw it too- and even they are built big, they begun cursing and cursing.
At the back- they were countless of them. Men in ck, with heavy riffles on their hands. The man on
the front has a cigarette on his mouth, feeling their gaze on him, he picked the cigarette from his mouth
and gave them a big, cold smile. Then, using his hand that was holding the riffle, he waved at them.
Not even a second passed, the van begun frantically driving away.
“Fuck!” Their driver cursed loudly. “Who- who can even do this?”
First, they removed them from the group, then, sent a whole battalion to capture them- or even kill
them.
“I don’t know! They must be higher up! Shit- they might even one the biggest name on the
underground!”
“But none of that makes sense!” One of the three shouted. “Which of them will order something childish
such as this?!”
“I don’t know! I don’t know!”
As they begun fighting, the man that was leading the other men in ck stopped.
“Men,” he took another smoke on the cigarette, after that, he blew the gray smoke from his mouth. With
his eyes focused on the fleeing van, he said, “Aim your babies to that shit.”
Hearing the satisfying sounds of the guns, he smirked then dropped his cigarette on the ground, with a
hard stomp to kill the fire. Aiming his own gun, the word that killed many people slipped from his red,
plumped lips. “Fire.”
--
After the series of gun shots, the man watched the van crashing on the nearby tree. One of them
jumped off, but he’s pretty sure he’s dead. Seeing the body lying near the steaming van that is full of
bullet holes, he signaled one of his men.
“You, drag that guy far from the van. Make sure that he won’t get caught to the explosion.”
“Yes sir!”
He watched him call others and together, they went to carry the body far from the van. The man fished
out another cigarette stick and lit it. After smoking it for a good second, he signaled everyone to retreat.
“Let’s go. The police wille here any minute from now.”
He let his men retreat first, with his cigarette on his mouth, he watched the van. He raised a brow.
“That kid, to go as far as using the family’s power.” He smirked, turning his body to retreat with his men.
“That kid can really be scary sometimes.”
As he walked towards their own van, the headlights lighted his eyes.
It was an eye with a color that is the same of the moon.
