Chapter 25: A Friend in need is a Friend Indeed
He drove the rover out of the downtown.One of his hand was on the steering wheel while other on his abdomen. His hands,Coat and rover's front seats were stained with his blood. He was grunting in pain.
He was driving to Jimmy. He was unable to handle the pain and feeling unconscious.
"I am not crying father!!! I am in pain!!!" He was crying like a baby and tapping the steering wheel.
He somehow managed to drove to Jimmy. He was almost unconscious. He went out of his car dangling while Magnum in his hand.
"Jimmy!! Help me!!! Please save me, I don't want to die"
He continued screaming in pain until he fell on the ground stained in blood.

Ryan was in his room holding revolver in his hand. He was drinking wine from the bottle. He was not in his senses. He dialed Duke:
"Hey Bro!!!" He greeted him crackingly.
"Ryan!!! Are you okay" Duke asked curiously.
"Bro!! I have found a way. The truth won't come out, Don't worry"
"I don't care now!! It's all right you can put the blame on me"
"I am in the town. Just meet me" Duke answered worriedly.
"Sorry bro!! I can't" he was crying and taking heavy breaths.
"Ryan what are you upto? I am worried for you. Name a place I will be there for you"
"I thought he had forgiven me!! But bro it was the most cruel punishment he could have ever given to me. I remember those days of college" Ryan continued in a breaking voice.
"He was right. I am dying in pain and writhing for death"
"Are you home? I am coming just wait, Okay"
"Those good days. When we were happy and loved our life. I don't wanna go to prison!!!" He confessed innocently while crying.
"Everything will be fine just please!!! I am coming" and before he could continue further Ryan ended the call.
He was holding his family album looking at his family photos and crying.
He looked very untidy and completly disturbed. He was sitting in a corner in his room in dark. He had not eaten anything as if he was on diet of wine and drugs.
Suddenly he stood up and pointed the revolver at his chest. He was shaking in fear unable to grip the revolver.
"MOM!!! I AM SORRY!! I FAILED YOU!! I WASN'T A GOOD SON!! I AM LOST" he mummered in pain crying.
He closed his eyes and held his breath. He slowly started pulling the trigger.
His mother was downstairs on the breakfast table deep in her thoughts. She was crying for her son when she heard the gunshot.
"Ryan!!!!!! My boy!!!" She screamed.
"Ohhhh GOD!!"
She rushed upstairs but the door was locked. She tried to push the door but she unable to open it.
"What have you done!!!! Open the door my son!!! Mom!! Loves you!! Please open the door" she was crying while her cheeks laid on the door sitting worriedly.
The bullet pierced his heart. He was shaking unable to take breath. He body was writing in pain.
"Mom!!!" He answered softly as his throat wasn't supporting him. He dragged himself to the door while blood flowing from him. He somehow managed to reach the door.
"I AM SORRY MOM!!!" He mummered softly.
The floor was stained in blood. His whole face and body was also covered in blood.
..................
Di Vinci was lying on his bed shirtless. He had bandages around his chest. He was still and thinking deep covered in blanket. The villa was completly quite and security was code red.
Edgar was sitting next to him holding his hand.
"How are you feeling father?" He questioned softly.
"I am fine, go have some rest. You must be tired?"
"It's fine!! I am okay" he assured him.
Kristin entered their room holding a tray. She had brought some juice for them. She approached them quietly as Edgar glanced at her worriedly.
"Any news of Farhan?" Di Vinci inquired worriedly without looking at them.
Kristin placed the tray near the table and accompanied them.
"We are looking for him. I am afraid he must be stuck somewhere in the downtown" Edgar answered him.
"They must be hunting them like wild animals!! We have to find him"
"I have sent Joe. He will not fail us. Don't worry father" he tried to satisfy him.
"Son, its family I all cared about. I was honored to see my men standing by my side. Indeed loyalty is a great blessing. They sacrificed their lives for me" he confessed sadly taking heavy breaths.
Kristin didnt say a word. She was worried for Farhan but she couldn't ask them.
She was dying to ask them where he was or what happened to him.
"Son! I am proud of you" he confessed to Edgar giving him a smile.
Edgar just shoved his head listening him carefully.
"Bring me some wine!!!" He told Edgar sofly.
................
Farhan found himself in an anonymous place with uncountable rooms. He reckoned around but it was completly dark.
He saw a room's door with a small bulb on top of it. It's number tag was shining due to the light of the bulb. It was the only door he could see clearly so he walked towards the door slowly.
He realized that he was wearing the same clothes completly stained in blood. He saw blood leaking from his abdomen falling on the floor and his shirt burnt by the heat and friction of the bullet.
He observed his wound. He saw red flesh and skin pierced. He touched his wound and felt his soft flesh and narrow hole built by the bullet. He wasn't feeling the pain. He gave his wound an unpleasant look and approached to that room.
He heard someone taking heavy breaths. He rotated the door knob as it wasn't locked and was astonished.
He saw Kristin on top of Edgar completly naked. They were sweating and enjoying their intimate sex. Her snow white body was on top of him.
"Yes!!! Edgar... Yes, it's soo good!!" She was thirsting in pleasure. Edgar had his one hand on her hips while holding her boob with other.
He was taking screaming in pleasure. He rubbed his hand over her slim waist as they were getting faster and faster.
He tried to close his eyes but he couldn't. He was looking at her innocently. He was completly helpless in that situation.
Edgar didn't notice him. Kristin looked at him as tears poured from his eyes. She stared at him while jumping on him faster and faster.
"Are you liking it? Kristin!!!" Edgar verified in pleasure.
"Yes!!! Yessssss, Just don't stop!!! Pleaseeee I am loving it" she answered him raising her voice while looking at Farhan as she was provoking him.
Edgar kissed her belly button. Curled his arms around her and leant her towards his chest. She screamed as he grabbed her tawny hair and pulled them as she raised her head while leaning on him.
He was hurting her but she wasn't bothering it. She was like a doll on which Edgar was completing his dirty desires.
He licked her white shining throat all the way to the chin. She closed her eyes due to rush of pleasure and he bit her lower lip hard.
They continued their sex as he kept stretching her tawny hair.
Farhan couldn't resist himself as he rushed towards them but he suddenly felt his wound in severe pain. He knelt down due to pain and screamed as they continued.
He glanced and saw Definate standing looking at him. His body was burnt completely. He had no hairs over his head. His skin was bubbly and had burns after every inch. He looked very horrifying.
"Why!! I considered you my Brother. You betrayed me!! They burnt my body brutally. I was helpless unable to do anything"
"I am Sorry!!Just please Leave me alone, I cannot face you" he murmered with his eyes closed.
"Now feel what is it like when someone you trust betrays you. You can't avenge them and you are helpless at that moment!! Watch your love crushed by his hands!!"
He struggled to them but he fell on the ground writhing in pain. He couldn't move but he was hearing them screaming in pleasure so he covered his ears
"Stop!! Pleaseeee!! I can'ttttt" he mummered crackingly.
..............
He opened his eyes. He was half conscious. He reckoned around and found himself in a basement. He slowly nodded his head towards his left and saw Jimmy standing taking heavy breaths looking at his abdomen.
He looked at his front and saw an anonymous girl wearing mask and medical gloves stained with his blood. She had her hands placed inside his abdomen moving.
He screamed due to pain.
"He is waking up!! For God's sake do something, Jess!!" Jimmy yelled worriedly.
"Okayy!!! Inject anesthesia, hurry" she answered worriedly as her forehead was sweating.
"How the fuck am I gonna?" Jimmy asked her anxiously.
"I am busy!! Just do it!! He will die"
"Okay!! Okay" Jimmy rushed towards the stairs.
Farhan was grunting in pain until Jimmy returned back. He never felt what happened next after it.
He raised his head in pain until he was sedated again and he relaxed and became unconscious once again.
..............
Di Vinci was sitting near the pool having wine when Joe reached him with few guards along him.
"No sign of him!! Where the fuck is he"
"Have you called him?" Di Vinci asked him curiously.
"He won't attend the fucking call. His phone is switched off!" Joe acknowledged him.
"Keep searching!!!"
"Why is it always that he vanishes away like" Joe asked confusingly.
"He is our family Joe. He must be in a problem!!! We have to find him before they do"
"They must be hunting him like dogs. They knows he isn't in the villa but how??" Joe asked curiously.
"God knows better Joe!!" Di Vinci was enjoying the dappled sunlight with a glass of wine. He was wearing his long coat hiding his wound under it.
He wasn't moving at all not to disturb the wound.
"Search the downtown Joe he must be somewhere there"
"Aye!!" Joe rushed back out of the villa.
Di Vinci took a long breath until his phone rang and it was Eric:
"I wanted to help you but you had made it a lot worse for yourself!!" Eric answered him angrily.
"You wanted me to handover my inheritance to him. He is not worth it you know that!!!" Di Vinci answered him softly.
"After what you have done at the meeting, better take care. I gave you a choice but you spoiled your every fucking opportunity!!!"
"I know what your intentions are. You want to handover this town to Lucas as he is your puppet but I am not. Do what ever you wish to!!" Di Vinci answered him calmly.
"I never knew your son is a pussy!! You don't know Fostor and Jeff. They will eat him alive as they are just waiting for my order" Eric laughed.
Di Vinci stood up tensely facing the pool water.
"What the fuck do you mean!!"
"Watch yourself, we are coming for you!!!" He threatened him and ended the call.
"Motherfucker!!! Fuck you!!!" He yelled and threw the glass of wine on the ground taking heavy breaths.
.............
Edgar was holding a Magnum and looking at himself in his room when Kristin entered.
He was feeling proud to look at himself holding Magnum.
"What are you doing?" She asked him astonishingly.
"What an embarrassment!! Son of an underworld don couldn't handle a rifle in the meeting" he confessed.
"What happened there?" She asked him curiously.
"They did what I intuited Kristin but father and Farhan never listened to me!"
"Farhan?? Is he dead" she asked him curiously as it was her chance to ask him what was storming her mind.
She was waiting desperately for his answer as he never returned with them.
"Maybe he is?? May be not!! No sign of him so far!" He confessed.
"I don't understand!" She inquired further curiously. She was staring at him from behind as he was standing in his night suit next to the mirror watching himself holding Magnum.
"He messed with Foster, a professionally trained corporal. I saw him raining bullets on his rover but we left as father health was critical" he acknowledged her.
She was shocked to hear that. She thought that love of her life is no more. She sacrificed a lot for him and did so much he never knew. Tears started pouring from her eyes.
"People like him have very short lives Kristin. Only one bullet, Only one fucking bullet KRISTIN,bullet never cares if he is a underworld don or any VIP. It never asks for permission, it just pierces the body!! Awarding pain and paying them for what they have done!!"
He answered her without bothering her. He was soo lost holding the Magnum that he couldn't noticed her crying. He knew that she loved someone else and she was telling truth. She couldn't accept him not because of his personality or he had committed any bad deeds just because she just!!!! loved someone else.
He always blamed her for what she had done to him. If he had any flaw in himself he would have accepted her for not loving him but it was because she just loved someone else and he was paying the price for someone else's buffed love!!!.
...............
AFTER FEW DAY!!!!
It was pitch black. Lucas was standing near the clock tower with Duke when a limo and police vehicle arrived.
Eric and Fostor steppedout out of the limo approaching him reckoning here and there.
Officer Jeff jumped out of the vehicle. He was alone.
They had stopped their vehicles near Lucas and Duke and the only source of light was their vehicle's headlights.
Eric approached Lucas while his hands in his coat's pocket.
"I supported you from day one Lucas!!! I provided you with guns and men and everything you needed but you failed me!!!"
"I considered you capable for the fucking job because you know him better than any one but I was fucking wrong!!"
"It...." and before Lucas could continue Fostor cross talked.
"It was piece of cake in the meeting but you are a pussy!! You fled away like a coward" he gibed at Lucas.
"What happened to your face, HAHHH" Duke taunted at Fostor.
Eric and officer Jeff stared him surprisingly.
"What the fuck!!!" He abused Duke keeping his voice as low as possible and approached to hit him.
Lucas stopped him....
"That's why.. that boy with him!!! He is a fucking killing machine!!!" Lucas confessed.
"What do you mean!!!" Eric asked curiously.
"He is like a jackpot!!! We can't touch him until that boy is dead!" Lucas continued.
"And if Di Vinci isn't dead you won't be mayor next time" Officer Jeff added his point.
"He is like his guardian angel. He is fearless and that's why we always fails" Duke answered them angrily.
"Because he fucking appears out of nowhere and blows our whole fucking plan"
"We must be careful!!" Duke answered worriedly.
"You better watchout son!!! You killed that fucking old brath!! He is a beast just because of you. He moulded himself just because of you" Officer Jeff alarmed him.
"We have to find him and let me kill him with my own fucking hands!" Fostor answered angrily.
They were walking over the bridge opposite to the clock tower. They were brewing a storm silently in complete darkness.
"We can't hunt a lion in his den" Officer Jeff continued.
"The lion be forced out of his den without his guard, that's when we will take our shot" he continued.
"I think I know how to lure him out" Duke answered while thinking deeply.
"This will be your last chance Lucas!!! If you failed then present me you head happily. I can't register another suicide case, I have a fucking reputation in my town" Eric warned him.
"Don't worry, I won't fail you" he left with Duke.
"Why is Di Vinci not doing anything!!" Fostor asked tensely.
"By now, He must have figured out that the meeting was a fucking set up!!" He continued.
"He won't flatter his wings until he had his right arm!!" Jeff acknowledged him.
"Then we better find and execute him before he does!" Fostor continued.
"Don't worry my men are searching for him, he had ruled the town for much long. It's time to close his chapter and change the story!!!" Officer Jeff cleared his intentions.
"Do whatever you want to, I want my mayor seat secured!!" Eric answered them.
"Don't worry!! Lucas lacks mind. He is a puppet. The town will be ours!!" Officer Jeff answered him.
They left in their vehicles after brewing their plan.
..............
AFTER SEVERAL DAYS!!!!!
Farhan wound was recovering. He would spend most of his time unconsciously in the basement. When one evening he woke up.
His head was aching like bombs blasting in his head and he was shirtless. He saw bandages around his abdomen. He stood up slowly. He wore a jacket without a shirt to prevent any pressure on his wound. His body was in pain.
His sight caught the table with gloves, scissors, tweezers and a mask stained in blood with cotton swipes. He saw a metallic round tray with a bullet placed in it.
He also saw his knuckle duster and his Magnum. He grabbed his Magnum.
It was that fucking bullet that awarded him that pain. He climbed up the stairs slowly. He glanced around but saw no one in the house. He exited the house from the back door.
He walked towards the shore. Hazy wind was blowing and he could hear the water burbling. He approached the shore barefooted that reminded him of one of his horrible nightmare.
He stood up taking a deep breath observing the flowing of water. He was crying like a baby. His life was torturing him and he was helpless.
"Father!!! I am in pain.. please I want to come to you!!! I cannot take this anymore. I am getting weaker" he screamed while facing up to the sky.
"Is it hurting?" Jessica approached her from behind. She asked him softly.
He noticed her and started to wipe his tears.
"Let's go inside!!" She adviced him.
"No, I feel relaxing here" he answered her innocently in a cracking voice.
Jessica was a nurse in the hospital. She had an oily skin and grainy skin color. She had dark black eyes and long hairs. She was very polite to him.
"Oky, but you will get cold"
"Why do you care!! You don't know me?"
"It''s my job to help and guide my patients" she told him softly.
He diverted the conversation.
"Then what!!" He asked her.
"According to your condition, your body is weak. You may die" she told him the consequences to force him get inside.
"I am already dead!! It's just the soul doing it's duty, deep inside I am dead already!!"
"Why are you so.. lost!!! What is it" she asked him curiously.
He wanted to share his feeling with her as she had saved his life. He wanted to lower his burden of sorrows.
"I have failed everyone. My love is writhing because of me, my family is dead because of me. How can my fate be so cruel to me. I am just worthless piece of shit!!!!" he cried in regrets and sorrows.
"I never wanted this life. I hate my fucking life!!"
"You think that are the only one with burden of sorrows!! I lost my family....(took a deep breath to recover) My family was wiped out in that town attack" she told him emotionally.
He looked at her astonishingly.
"I wasn't able to gave them a proper funeral" she started crying.
He kept silent. He could see pain in her eyes. He pulled the Magnum from his belt and handed it over to her.
She hesitated.
"I was behind the attack!!! Take Avenge of your parents" he answered her trying to recover his voice and pretending to be strong in front of her.
She stared at him annoyingly as she wasn't able to understand.
"I saved a killer!! How will I.... i should have let you die" she told him while crying.
She pointed the Magnum at forehead shaking unable to handle it. He held Magnum and lowered it to his heart
"Here shoot me here!!! It is from where the beast was born!!"
She hesitated and tried hard but atlast lowered the rifle.
"Why... I killed your parents" he asked her emotionally in a cracking voice.
"Saviour is always greater than a killer. You will have to pay for you sins. I spare you because I am not a killer like you" she answered him.
"You will get cold!! Let's go"
She handed over the gun to him and rushed back inside.
He stood there for sometime unable to understand her. It was like his fate playing with him. His life was like a hell but at that point he realized that he was following a wrong path.
He turned back and stared at the water. He stood there for a long time until it was completely dark.
