LOVING THE INKED MAN.

CHAPTER 7

Crime.

" HELP!"

Because of curiosity I manage to go inside the abandoned building. Bago ako tuluyang pumasok ay may nakita akong mga nakaparadang sasakyan sa may bakuran ng gusali. I'm surprised to see the black wrangler owns by Inked man, I did confirm that it was his through the plate number.

I silently gatecrashed and carefully hiding myself every time I'm hearing footsteps. There's this thing inside me insisting me to know what's going on. Lalo akong ginanahan sa pagpasok lalo na at kinikilabutan ako sa papalakas at napakasakit na sigaw ng hindi na lang isang tao kundi dalawa o tatlo, hindi ako sigurado.

Dumaan ako sa may Bintana na hindi naman gaanong kataas. Kinagat ko ang aking pang ibabang labi ng tumalon ako pababa. I did wish na sana walang nakarinig sa pagbaba ko. Kundi baka huling hinininga ko na ito!

Naglakad ako sa direksyon kung an may naririnig akong mga tao. Linalakasan ko rin ang pag- obserba at pakikiramdam ko sa aking paligid despite of feeling so nervous. Hindi ako mapakali at malakas ang pagtambol ng aking puso. May nararamdaman akong sakit habang naririnig ang sakit ng sigaw nang mga taong mukhang pinapahirapan.

" Sana mali ako!" Bulong ko sa aking sarili.

I was thinking of the possibilities that Inked man is here, and the thing is he's involve of whatever is happening here.

I hid myself on the shelf when I finally saw a battalion of man watching the three blinded man being tortured. And what's make me shock is that Inked man is one of the torturer. He's holding a baseball bat and he's an evil beating one of the blindfolded man that screams pain on top of his lungs.

Para lang akong nanonood ng live theater about sa torture dahil nakaharap sila sa akin. I can freely watch Inked mans move and his battalion who did nothing but to stand and watch the three blindfolded man laying on the floor crying and asking for help.

Inked man seem to be a child of devil! He keeps on hitting the mans body without hesitation or without any mercy. Can he feel Pity? or is he enjoying?

This can't be real!

My knees almost collapse when Inked man stops beating the man that is not moving laying on the floor bloody. And the other two blinded man beaten by the other devil also laying on the floor pero nakakgalaw pa sila at nakakasigaw. Ngunit yung kaawa awang pinalo ni Inked man ay mahina nang humihinga at ano mang oras ay mamatay na siya.

I remember what Atty. Ramirez say, Inked man is hanging around the suspects of my mom's case. The possibilities that he knows and they have the same world with the criminals can answer all my queries, or at least he knows some of the backgrounds of those suspects and can be brought  me to who's my father.

I cover my mouth when Inked man pull his hand gun at tinutok sa lalaking halos hindi na humihinga. My tears cascading down my eyes, I bit my lips to stop my self to sob. It feels like someone stab my heart seeing the blindfolded man who can't fight being murdered in front of me.

" Please Dylan ay pamilya kami! Maawa ka sa amin! Maayos lang kaming nagtrabaho, wala kaming kasalanan! patawarin mo kami!" The other blind folded man cry out, begging for mercy.

" TULONG!" buong lakas na sigaw naman ng isa.

Puno ng takot, pagmamakaawa at pagsisisi sa mga salita nila. If I can only have a superpowers I will help them out from this scenario, but I haven't! What only i can do is to watch them and feel pity and pain from them. SHETE! I can't also move  from where I am, I wanted to go out of this place and just run away, but my knees is weak and my heart is in sorrow.

" It's too late to beg for mercy!" Inked man kneel down on one knee and grab the hair of the one of the three blindfolded man who asked for his mercy. " Just tell your goodbyes in your families dream. It's time for you to meet the other world man." he said and stand up, " Greet Satan 'Hi!' for me!"

Then two loud gunshots has been heard all over the place and a scream coming from the one who left alive.

" Please! Please! Please............maawa ka!" cries, the last blindfolded man.

Please don't! Two lives is enough!

" This is the justice everyone would wish! Farewell!" , Then another gunshots has been invade the whole atmosphere.

This are criminals!

Silence after silence, the bloody crime anointed the whole abandoned building. I can't forget the crime I've just witness. This time I'm praying for my safety, I need to dig more deeper about this Inked man. I need to get close to him, I'm now sure he can answer and solve my puzzle.

I hitch my breath when I saw Inked man pointed his gun to my direction. Alam kong hindi ako kita dahil madilim sa aking pwesto ngunit pakiramdam ko ay nagtama ang tingin namin ni Inked man. Pakiramdam ko nakita niya ako at nag evil smirk siya sa akin kasabay ng pagtaas ng kaniyang kilay.

And before he pull the trigger towards my direction, with the help of my adrenaline rush and love to myself I ran fast as I could. I heard a footsteps rushing towards me, and gunshots over gunshots wants to hit me. But I' lucky, mahal parin ako ng guardian angel ko at hindi niya ako hinayaang matamaan ng bala at hinayaan niya akong makaligtas.

Pumasok ako sa isang kwarto na may lumang kama. I hid myself under the bed praying to not be caught. I bit my lips to stop myself from making noise when I heard and feel ones presence enter the room.

" I'm warning you!" Paunang sabi ng pamilyar na boses ni Inked man. " This will be your last, If I will caught you again_______"

Then my heart pound fast and it will almost out of my chest, when I heard Inked mans footsteps reaching my direction. Then I saw his feet standing in front of me.

" Next time, I will not let you skip every bullets!" then he turned around and walkout of the room.

Nakahinga ako ng maluwag ng mawala na ang ingay gaing sa abandonadong gusali, alam kong mag isa nalang ako rito. My heart still pounding fast, kaunti nalang ang kaba ko ngunit parang hindi pa bumabalik ang kaluluwa ko.

" Criminals!" bulong ko, habang hawak ang puso ko.
