Chapter 21 IT RAIN HARD

"Thank you for saving my life," Ben said

"You are welcome. C'mon, stand up," The man said, offering Ben his hand, Ben grabbed it and he lifted him.

"Have already lost my hope," he said.

The man takes out a handkerchief and hands it over to Ben. "Clean your blood."

"Thanks."

"I just try my luck to ran here after I heard a gunshot. I thought a hunter shoot an animal," he said, "I'm glad I save a life today. What's your name?"

"Benjamin, and you."

"Merlin," he said."

Two girls darted there, breathing hard.

"Merlin, did he shoot the animal?" The first girl said

"No," Merlin said, "someone wants to shoot him dead, and I saved him."

"Really?" The second girl asked, looking at Ben.

"Ben," Merlin said, "meet my sister, Carolina, and my girlfriend..."

"Victoria," she cuts in.

"Hi," Ben said, "It's nice meeting you guys."

"Same here, Ben," Victoria said.
