Suicidal...

"Sela... You the most beautiful girl I've ever met."

Bryan sat next to his lover, his left arm around her shoulder while his right hand was twisted in hers.

They had spent 20 minutes caddling and talking. Although this Sela at one point would start fidgeting and shaking off his hands off her, he finally succeeded in taking over her emotions.

Her phone kept ringing but none bothered to check the caller. They were going to have a good time.

"Bryan, I don't think this is necessary..." She suddenly pulled out of his grasp. She won't succumb to immorality. At this point Bryan was just a vulgar boy to her.

"No is not hunnie. But I've always wished for a day with you." Bryan answered with a romantic accent as he reached forward to caress his cow.

"No, leave me alone. I don't want you!" She suddenly yelled pushing him away from her. She picked her phone and took a step away from this pervert. She felt guilty. She was engaged, she was Maeia's loyal friend, how could she spend time on a useless guy.

'Pftt'

"You so disgusting." With that she left for the wash rooms.

It dawned on him now. He was destined to suffer at the hands of love. Everything was predetermined to end with a scar.

'Why Maeia.' He sobbed at the loss. I will kill myself, this is too much. I don't care bout anything else. He cried for his Grandma and his soul. This was his last day to breathe the air of this brutal world.

Along the corridor Annie rushed. Her mind was clustered with unknown thoughts. She didn't even see the man standing right infront of her as she bumped chest first into him.

"Sorry..." She apologized.

"Is ok." The man replied. To be frank, he was around the same age as Bryan. But broader and well build. He was like a gymnastic guy. His face was broader too and his lips were darker.

Annie noticed that he also had a back pack and a plier in his left hand. He must be an electrician she thought as she hurried pass him and into the ladies washroom.

This was a terrible day. She checked her phone and noticed that Maeia had made several calls. She panicked and called back.

"Where are you?" Maeia's voice echoed through.

"I'm in the washrooms." Annie replied with tears.

"I'm on my way." Maeia replied in haste.

It didn't take long for Maeia to get to her servant. She didn't care bout what happened but how to get Annie out of this place first.

"Lets get home. Annie..."

"Anne..."

Maeia shook her friend. Something was wrong. Annie seemed to have frozen, she stared blankly pointing at the exit before warning Maeia.

"We are doomed."

Time froze for a fraction.

"Don't move!." A pistol was pointed at Annie. The exit was blocked.

"You!" Annie gathered her strength and shouted moving to the front to cover her mistress despite the warning.

'BANG!' A loud ear-peircing explosive clank rang out the moment Annie stepped forward.

"I SAID DONT MOVE!!"

"NOOO!" Maeia rushed forward too to catch Sela as she fell backward. Blood spurted dying the floor red.

"Why? Let us go." Maeia pleaded. She knew the man who just shot Annie but she couldn't remember his name.

"SHUT UP OR YOU DIE!" The man roared as hurried footsteps could be heard approaching.

"Sire, CAM 67,87,89...are out of order..."

A man in a blue three-piece suit reports from the surveillance office before all the screens go black.

"Sire, all connections have been terminated." He hastly adds as a sense of danger creeps onto him. He held the phone in a trembling hand as he opened the door to fetch the technician downstairs as instructed by the sire.

A state of emergency was decreed and sooner sirens could be heard as traffic gave way for police to arrive at the scene.

Everything happened soo swift.

*****

Some minutes before all had goNe haywire, a young man sat on a luxurious bed deep in thought.

'Seriously, she just left! What did I do wrong? Where did I go wrong?' He thought all the while.

He had abstained from sex and swore to be faithful to his lover but fate played menacingly with him, or so it seemed.

Never in his life had he found true love. At one point he gave up on the idea of relationships but his short man below would always betray him by standing attention at the sight of beauty. This had made his life really difficult. The image of Maiea flashed vividly in his head. The short sweet amatory moment they had just spend some while ago before she flared up and bursted out, played like a cinema in his head. He pulled some coins out of his front pocket as tears condensed in his black eyes. Today I leave behind all that is useless, life is useless.

He stood up to leave with suicidal intentions. Leaving a note and bumb of coins on the bed.

BANG!

'WAS THAT A GUNSHOT!' Bryan froze. The corridor was desserted as if no-one had booked the rooms apart from himself. He stood transfixed on the spot before he hurried off towards the direction of the bang. All suicidal thoughts now aside, or lets say he thought whoever or whatever it was, would just bang him dead too.

The sound of running water was audible as he approached the washrooms. Everything was silent. He wondered why no one seemed to be in there. The place is soo silent. He thought what was wrong, the ever lively Miami to be servile.

Maybe I should check the ladies washrooms, he pondered as he hurried towards the sound of running water.

*****

"A word and you DIE!!" A husky voice warns a terrified Mae. Ann laid in a pool of blood, dead, on the stained stone-cold floor beside her. Tears dripped down her smooth chubby cheeks from her swollen eyes. She couldn't believe what was going on.

She nods silently as the man ties her hands and legs before gagging a piece of clothe in her mouth. She wanted to escape but she just couldn't. She was like a chicken in the hands of a slaughter.

'Please hurry, God help me.' She prayed as her hero came to rescue.

<< I expect to pass thRough this world but once. >>
