The gates opened slowly as I drove in without slowing down at all. I passed about six armed men at the gate as they tried looking into the window.
But the windows were tinted, so I just managed to pass the first gate. One more to go.
Now I was in, and changing my mind wasn't an option at this point.
Even if I wanted to go back, I'm sure they would surely want to know who drove into their territory before they let them out, so now going back or changing my mind wasn't an option.
I took in a deep breath as I let it out with the fear and doubts in me.
I reduced the motion of the car, going more slowly this time. These men at the second gate didn't look like they were going to let me pass as I saw about two of them majestically walk before the gate with their rifles hanging over their shoulders.
The expression on their faces showed they meant business. To make matters worse, I could see about six dogs by them, all heavily chained to the gate bars, and they weren't in a good mood at all observing the way they barked voraciously at the car as I came closer.
I bet they knew I was an intruder. I just hope the guards didn't have the same in mind.
Finally, after the slow halt, two men came at both sides of the car as they tapped on my glass. The one by my right had a hoodie on and a cigar in his lips he seemed indulged in, but tried to remain focused.
The one on my left was really huge and had full beards.
Clank! Clank!! Clank!!!
The guard with the full beards began hitting my window with his knuckles.
What the fuck am I going to do now, I thought to myself.
As the clanking continued, I noticed they were getting impatient and were beginning to suspect as they exchanged a glance and held their rifles firm.
Once more, he clanked against the glass with his knuckles.
Clank! Clank! Clank!!!
I looked around the car and couldn't find anything but a pair of glasses below the passenger seat. I picked them up, put them on, took out my cell phone, and stepped out of the car immediately.
"Okay, I get it, I love you too, mi amore, muah," I kept the fake phone call up as the dogs barked really loudly at me. I turned towards them, ignoring every other person there at the moment, not minding the fact that they all pointed their guns at me, all on alert, akimbo.
I kept up the phone call as the barks became louder and louder, just when I couldn't take it anymore.
"What the fuck!!" I screamed as I slammed my phone on the ground, and it shattered into pieces, making the dogs stop for a moment as they began growling.
I began panting, rage-like, as I took a look at about twelve of them pointing those guns at me.
"Who the fuck are you?" a very deep and intimidating voice asked from behind me. I turned to look. It was a bald and very tall man. So tall he looked down on me. "I just asked you a question, man," he added.
I didn't know why, but I began chuckling slowly as it became intense by the second.
"What's funny?" another voice asked.
"And who the fuck do you all think you are to point a gun at me?" I asked as I noticed confusion on all their expressions.
"I think my uncle's gone all soft on y'all, hey, that you guys have the guts to point a fucking gun at me?"I raised my voice as they all remained silent for a moment.
"Who you calling your uncle, lad?" the tall one asked.
"Who do you call your boss, dickhead?" I replied with a question.
Leaving an unsure expression on their faces as they lowered their weapons one by one, except the one who was smoking among them.
He walked up to me as he blew some smoke in my face.
"I ain't never heard about the boss having a nephew," he said as he dragged some more smoke from the fat cigarette in his hand.
I just chuckled and slowly took it from his lips and dragged some too. I felt itching all over my throat and almost coughed as I covered it with a loud laughter.
"They grow so fast," I said.
"Who's got a lighter here?" I asked breaking the silence just when one of them replied hesitantly.
"Um... I... I... I think I got one here with me," one of them said, raising it up.
"Well, get your ass over here . Do you expect me to come over there and get it?" I asked as he quickly walked towards me. I put the already lit cigar in my lips as I bent my neck forward for him to light the cigar, and he did. I sent him away with a wave of my hand, and he obeyed. This brought a slight relief to me knowing they were all falling for my little drama.
I turned to the man who I took the cigar from and I could see an unsure expression on his face as he maintained composure.
"So you wanna know if my uncle's got a nephew, hey?" I asked as I leaned on the car behind me but didn't get an answer from him as he looked at his fellow men around him.
"How about we play a game?" I said, blowing some smoke in his face as I took off my glasses. "I make a phone call and call my uncle out here, and if he claims he knows me or rather complains that you fucks left me out here for so long , I'll put a bullet in your head. I said with a calm. voice as I dragged the cigar band letting the smoke in and out as I continued. In fact, I'll spare the rest and put a bullet in your head and feed you to the dogs," I said, looking at him directly in the eyes as I. Noticed his confidence fade.
