It's gone now.

He started breaking down on his own after his short and stuttered reply.

No one seems to be speaking at the moment as the people present only stared at him. He started on bawling as I let him go and he's just laying down on the ground.

I went for the Kel-Tec that I kicked earlier and picked it up. I cleared the chamber first and removed the magazine.

"No bullets." I thought to myself.

It's scratched all over and the machete on the side is a piece of junk that the handle is about to fall off and the blade has rust stains all over. You won't notice it at first glance since it is covered by blood and dirt.

I made a small sigh and then I looked at him.

"What happened?" I asked.

"..." he was not responding.

"I'm not gonna ask twice." I added.

"You have to let me in first." he said as he finally stopped crying and sat down on the road. I could hear a few more people have come near the other side of the gate since several I heard several footsteps and a few murmurs.
