CHAPTER 46
TRAPPED!


Narrator: Hermit kept running along the sidewalk, hoping he find a safe place to hide. But a moment later, a pair of headlights appeared not too far away. They were heading in the opposite direction of where Hermit was running.

Hermit, shaking his head, turned around as he ran in the opposite direction, hoping to avoid the chase of the headlights. The car was too quick, though, as it caught up to Hermit. The front passenger window rolled down, and a gun popped through it as a couple of bullets fired at Hermit.

Hermit was hit on his own back as he fainted directly on the sidewalk. The car stopped abruptly as Tanaka and Hokai got out, carrying him into the vehicle before taking off.

As for me, time was running out. I was still driving at the same speed on the same empty street. But then I saw, ahead of me, bits of smoke on the right side of the upcoming intersection. Finally, a sign! That smoke should lead to them, I’m sure! So once I approached the intersection, I immediately turned right.

*

As for Spider and his gang, they arrived at an enormous warehouse building protected by the fence, which was 15 feet away from it. The car parked on the dirt in front of the fence, its engines being turned off.

Inside the warehouse, Erich sat on a chair. Her mouth was still covered with masking tape as well as her hands being tied to the back of the chair. The only difference now as that her whole body was wrapped around with more ropes. Her eyes were still closed until Spider slapped her cheek, waking her up.

Erich continued being frightened as she looked up at Spider as well as his gang surrounding her. She was panicking desperately, but Spider stopped her as he slapped her face hard.

Spider: Ey SHUT up!! Who said ya have the right ta show off?! Tss… lil’ bastard! Yo Nix! Blind this bitch for me, will ya?

Narrator: Nix nodded, took out a black blindfold and wrapped it around her eyes tightly.

Nix: Teh, ya blind now, pretty lady!

Lagga: Yo Spider! (holding a small detonator) Should I be ready to set this shit?

Spider: (points at Erich) Right under the chair, boi!

Narrator: Erich didn’t like what she was sensing, so she decided to keep it blank as she remained calm. Lagga gently hooked the detonator under the chair as Erich could hear the click of it. Still, she didn’t bother to think about what was sitting under her.

Spider suddenly removed the blindfold from Erich, but her eyes were still filled with fear as she was still looking around the warehouse.

Spider: (approaching her) Aww don’t be a wuss. Ya not alone, ya know. (playing with her long hair) We’re gon’ do a lil experiment, n’ I promise ya it won’ hurt one bit. (laughing evily)

Narrator: Erich couldn’t help but to panic. Reacting, she kicked Spider on the front of his right calf.

Spider: Oww!!

Narrator: Angry, Spider aggressively pulled the back of her hair with one hand and pointed the gun at her with the other hand.

Spider: Ya hurt me again, Miss, and you’ll make me wanna bleed ya head out. Ya got that?!

Narrator: Frightened, Erich responded with a nod, and Spider slapped her face hard.

Spider: That’s more like it.

*

Narrator: Out on the streets, I was driving through the smoke trying to find a clearing. Instead, ahead of me was a small herd of flames sitting on the middle of the street. Another sign! A bigger one! I’m getting closer!

Once I approached the fire, I drove around it as the tires were screeching. At last, a clear viewing! So I continued my way on the street in hopes of finding Erich’s kidnappers.

*

Inside the warehouse…

Spider: Yo Nix! Ya ready or what?!

Nix: I’m on it! (as he holds the remote controller for the detonator)

Spider: (approaching Erich, touching the front sides of her hair) Don’t be afraid, sweetheart. We got this all under control.

Narrator: Spider backed away afterwards, and Nix pressed the green button on the controller, activating the timer that displayed exactly 2:00 on the detonator. The clock started running down afterwards. Erich didn’t like what she saw on Nix’s hands, so she panicked, moving her whole body around the chair. Trying to stop her, Spider once again held his gun at her, loading the trigger.

Spider: Ya betta watch ya moves, young lady! Don’ make me have ta bust ya head open!

Narrator: Erich remained calm immediately, frightened, as her whole body now stood still.

Lagga: Yo Spider! Let’s get the fuck outta here!

Narrator: So Spider and his gang turned away from Erich as they slowly headed out the warehouse building. Lagga carelessly tossed the controller on the ground as it was rolling over a couple times making sure the front side doesn’t face down.

Jeeva: Sweet dreams, suckaa! (laughing)

Narrator: Once the gang left, the detonator timer went down to 1:42 left.
