The truth 2

"I can hear they are talking about using gas," Lucinda muttered.

"Huh?" Ralph muttered, looking at her.

"Let’s go, the job is done, but I am disappointed in you guys that no one died, not even the girl." The man in black stated.

"He is saying that he is not happy with them that no one died," Lucinda mumbled, but she was still closing her eyes. Ralph was wondering how she could hear them from afar.

The man wanted to enter his car.

"Hey!! Stop there. Who are you?" Ralph asked, running towards the man. The man looked around to see if there was anyone apart from him there.

"Wait, are you talking to me?" he inquired, tapping his chest.

"Who else? Idiot." Ralph cursed. He didn’t know when the insult came out of his mouth, but he was sure the man was talking about the fire.

"Pardon? Do I know you? What gives you the audacity to insult me?" he asked, glaring at Ralph. He stopped in front of him.

"You are not God, so why should I be afraid of you?" Ralph snarled. The man gnashed his teeth, staring at Ralph.

When his gaze landed on Lucinda, he narrowed his eyes at her and started scrutinizing her. He moved closer to Ralph to get a glimpse of her face.

He gasped and looked at Ralph.

"What’s the matter, do you know her?" Ralph inquired.

The man stepped backward as soon as he brought out his phone and stared at Lucinda’s picture.  

"She is the one," he declared.

"What do you mean?" Ralph inquired, raising a brow.

The man ignored Ralph and opened his car. The other two bodyguards stepped out of the car and handed a gun to the man who collected it from them.

He pointed the gun at Ralph’s head.

"Give them the girl." He declared.

"Why?" Ralph inquired.

"Because she is the one I am here for," he replied.

"She is my girlfriend. Why do you want her?"  Ralph asked flatly.

"Give her to them, or I will pull the trigger." The man threatened.

Ralph sighed, staring at one of the bodyguards who moved towards him, extending his hand to him to hand over Lucinda.

Ralph leaned closer to him and stretched Lucinda to him; he was about to carry Lucinda when Ralph used Lucinda’s leg to hit his face.

"What is wrong with you? You want to die?" the man inquired, glaring at Ralph.

Ralph started walking towards the man who was walking backward.

"You are testing my patience. I will pull the trigger." He threatened with sweat forming on his forehead.

"Shoot me." Ralph declared with an evil grin.

His hand started trembling as he stared at Ralph, looking at his bodyguards behind Ralph, who wanted to hit him with a vase on the head.

"Kill me, are you scared?" Ralph inquired. He started sensing footsteps behind him. He moved out of the way just in time, and the bodyguards hit their boss on the head.

"Ahh!!" the man screamed. Blood started rushing down his face. He fell down on the floor and passed out.
