NALA

Jack drives through the dark night going at the speed of lightning. Nothing alse matters. The scrreching

sound of the car swirving almost every 5 seconds broke through the silence of the night. he drives past

the glowing center lines on the road. Time couldn't move slower. The breaking man behind the wheel

couldn't find a brake. Not for the car. Not for his mind. The thoughts running through his head were of

guilt and desperation. It was almost as if he could hear his head screaming "my baby girl. Where's my

baby girl?" the car tears through the solace of the night. the headlights piercing through the darkness.

A screeching sound echoes as the car pulls up. Jack jumps out of the car with a haze. The view infront of

him was blury. It was as if he had run mad. He couldn't control his thoughts or actions. as he staggered

toward the house in front of him, he looses his self awareness. He could hear her screeming for help.

Begging to see her daddy. He could hear it loud as hell, just in his head. As the calm smile on nala's face

and echoing warmth of her voice pictured and played through his head, simulteanously accompanied

with the thought of her screams and begging tearing through his mind, jack staggered and ran toward

the house entrance.

He didn't waste time. A quick strike to the door, broke the middle glass. His hands reached straight into

the broken hole and opened the door from outside. He walked straight into the house and barged into

an unsuspecting levi jenkriz, who was standing right by the couch. he had heard the breaking in, but was

too high to react seriously.

Where is my baby girl??

POW!! POW!!

the sound of an SIG mag 45 releasing two shots. Levi lies dead on the ground with a bullet to his forehead, and another to his shoulder. The sound of the gunshot was loud. Loud enough to snap jack into

reality for 3 seconds. He looks at his hand and realizes he was holding a gun. Where did he get a gun?

Oh… the one he had in his car's glove box. He had bought it for security over a year ago. Jack pauses and

looks at levi for a second. He is shocked and stunned, but then his face slowly fades back to an

expressionless sociopath. He stood still and looked around with dead eyes. Another loud scream from

Nala in his head, instantly sends him right back to his blury haze. Everything was so slow and its like his

vision is breaking. He walks straight for a door right infront of him and kicks it open. He walks into the

room and checks for his daughter. He cant find her. as he walks back out the door, he hears a loud bang

right beside him. He attempts to turn back in a shock, but then he realised he is falling toward the

ground. Oh… it wasn't just a loud bang. It's the sound his head made as someone hit it hard with

something metallic. He can only see himself somewhat slowly falling toward the ground. The moment he

touched the ground, everything went black.

He wakes up in the basement of the house. his head hurts very badly, but he could bare it. he looks

straight ahead, and behold, three men standing infront of him. The red light makes a silouhette. He

could barely make out their faces. He pauses for a second but the screaming sound of his little nala hits

his head again. WHEEREEE IS SHEEEEEE!!!

WHEREEE IS MY FUCKING DAUGHTERR WHERE IS,MY BABYYY GIRL.

YOU MUTHER FUCKERS. YOU KILLED HER. YOU KILLED MY GIRL. YOU—YO—YOU MURDERED MY

BABY GIRL (Bursts into tears). Ohh God… ohh God.. ahh God. She was thirteen. She was – she was just a

kid. Ohh God. Jack gets up slowly. Talks to himself for over 5 seconds before making a an instant burst

straight for the men infornt of him. The instant pull backward that sends him straight back to the ground

makes him realise the chains on his hands and legs. At that moment, his blury haze vanished. The

pictured screams in his head stopped. The loud night went completlty quiet for the first time. He had finally grasped the situation. He finally understood the seriousness of what was happening, and where

he stood in it.

Fear is a bastard. It creeps up on even the strongest and bravest of hearts. Fear.. the door to reality.

Weakness. Fragility. Fear… some say that it's a part of bravery. Others say it's a sign of weakness. Fear is

the instant clarity of danger. The hand of nature that draws you back down to reality. The part of you

that understands what it means to die. What it means to be weak. The realization that you – you are!! Could be, the victim. fear? Fear will come for us all. Fear is a bastard.

The three brothers were indiferrent to the bloody body lying upstairs beside the couch. to them, if you

get killed, you were never meant to live. The conversation of three brothers revealed the clear and serious diference between a temporary sociopath, and real psychopaths. The deadinign sound of noah

laughing demonically, and the clear disregard for reality and morals in the very sound of their voices.

The statements they made, gave a bare insight into the crocked thought process of a vile mind.

NOAH: when I spotted them kids. I knew we was gon get our hands on sometin good. Haaa… haa. Haa....

JOSE: I aint gona lie now. When you got out the car and hit that kid in the head, I got hard as hell. My

junk couldn't take it. and the way he layed down sexy and all, momma don told me before goddamit (bursts in laughter).

(instantly becomes expressionless). But then again I do wish I got my hands on that kid. You didn't have

to hit em that hard. I would never want anyone I love getting hurt like that you know. You shouldn't –

Jimmy: ohh shut up you gay dumbass. I've had enough of your whining. (walks closer to jack). I am really

sorry for your loss man. I just couldn't help myself you know. The way she walked with that little boy,

got me thinking about my ex. I just had to do sometin about that you know.

NOAH: yeah the gurl. What she say her name was again? Oh narley? Nathely? Na—something. Whoooo weeee she was sometin. I was just gon talk to her I promise. But—she wanted me. For more than just

talking. She wanted to have me. I—I could see it in her eyes. I swear. So i made her profess her love to

me, and we decided we as gon share her spoils haa… haaa…. Haaaa…..

JOSE: what got me the most, jimmy here's got the size of an elephant trunk…. She took it alllll in (bursts in

laughter). She took it all in. pretty tight though but she took it all in. whoo weee she don got me hard again. What was she now 12? 13? Couldn't care though. I hated when she kept shouting for her daddy and

begging and all. I didn't like her voice much.

(Jack's voice was so calm and innocent)...

Hey… you're not talking about her right? Hey… umm—hey she

uhh… its not Nala right? You're not talking about my daughter now are you? (tears slowly ran down his

face). What? My little girl? Share her spoils? What – what does that mean? (starts getting louder). You

tell me what that goddam means right now. (starts crying). You tell me what that means right now. Jack

stares at the three quiet men. He is so still and broken. as another screaming image of his baby girl

flashes through his head, he screams… LIARRRR!!! Jack bolts up again and bursts toward them. the fear

finally fades again. This time, he doesn't fall back. He screams and shouts. Pulling his hand forward. Its

almost as if the chains cant hold him back. The dangerous sound of his voice finally sends a shiver down

the spine of all three men standing in front of him. They seemed to finally hit reality. Noah ran straight

to a corner and appeared with something like a sledge hammer in his hand. He walks straight to jack and

swings it. the thudding impacts send jack flat on the floor. For some reason, he doesn't pass out this

time. The fear instantly returns. That's probably what gave jack the strength to start screaming and begging.

Please.. please – followed by another wipe on his left knee sent him screaming in pain. This was followed

by series of of continuous hits till jack went motionless.

"Daddy!" his little angel yells as she run out of the kitchen and down the stairs. 'yeah honey, what's up?'

"can we go to the movies today?" ---- ohh yes honey. Today is your birthday after all. See, I

remembered. I'll close early from work today and come pick you up okay?

"Okay".

Daddy! Yes honey?

"I really wish you would have taken me to the movies. I'm sorry I left without you. I'm sorry about what happened".

Ohh don't worry. Its fine. see you after work. And you better get dressed early. And put on that pink shoe I got for your on your birthday last year, okay?

"okay daddy". Bye honey.
