THE DEVIL'S DEED

CHAPTER -14

I couldn't stay home fearing the killers... Not just because I can't take an off.. What if the killers follow me in here...??. They will take captive of mom and Zach too.. No.. I don't want them to ruin my family.

While in I Red I will be distracted and there are a lot people around.. The killers can't drag me out of there that easily..??. But what if they can..??. Keeping everyone under their guns and shots... Oh.. It's all so absurd..

After a long thinking and calculations I decided to go to Red. I didn't mentioned a word about my abduction to anyone in home or in Red. Even in between the hectic work my whole attention was to the dark corner table. Whether it's getting occupied by the mafia.. The killers in loose..

As I was almost close to end of my second shift I received a call. Though Roxy has warned to not use phones during the duty I took my cell out from the pocket, ensuring she is not around. Oh.. My.. It's Austin Stark.. God.. I never thought I will be able to talk to him again..

Very eagerly I switched on to the call to immediately hear his anxious voice, "Hazel.. You alright..? ".

Oh. My God.. How does he know..??.."Yeah.. Yeah.. I am good.. ",I told him lightly.

"I have been trying to contact you the whole day.. You scared the heck out of me.. ",he said. His voice softening with every words he talked. He is so concerned about me and it felt like a promising shelter.

I bit my lips and said "I am sorry.. I.. ".

He intruded in me and told "Listen to me.. I will be there when your shift ends, alright.. ".What..??. No.. You shouldn't bother.. Why are you..? Does he already know what happened..??

"No.. It's.. Okay.. I can.. ",I tried to convince him.

But he told interrupting again "I will meet you in Red.. ",and the call disconnected. What..!! . Of course I am only happy to meet you.. But.. Who is unbelievable now..?

Short though talking with Austin was like a lifetime . His voice furious or tense or whatever is still a melody to my ears. And what... He is picking me up..??. Good heavens.

I pushed the cell into my pocket and turned around with a very natural smile with the empty tray in my hand. We might go for a ride... Or a late night dinner.. And.. Oh.. My.. All my happiness and joy shattered as I found him.. Again.. Before me... He is here.. In Red... Staring into my face... Oh... No.. Why man..?.. Why..??.

He must be here to take me back to.. Brion!!There in his lair.. To torture me as long as he wish and finally to kill me... Either alone or with his whole gang..

I could hear the frequent tender drumming of my fingers on the tray I am clutching onto.. Oh.. Now he is walking to me. Oh.. Please.. I stood there all dead watching his determined steps towards me... The space between us reducing as much the beat of my heart.

He stopped at just one feet before me and I am hyperventilating now. The killer look more human than what he was yesterday.. Just like the first time. But I know there is a sure danger behind his mysterious charm.

"Out.. Now.. ",he said.. No ordered. He wants me out..??. Why does he think I will listen to him..??. I am not coming out even if you are killing me..

But my words are softer than my thoughts. I asked in a very low tone "Why.. Why sir..? ".

"In a minute.. ",he told and walked away. That's not an answer. My eyes followed him until he was out of Red, only for them to fall next on the corner table.. No.. It's them.. The two hitmen.. And they are watching me.

I left Red telling a very dreary excuse, Zach is sick.. Sorry brother.. Your sister is gonna kill a heist today. I was still in my uniform and wore my jacket over it. Before walking out I looked into my bag.. The knife.. I anticipated such or a different situation and took it from home. Either he dies or I.
