Memories 2

"Brother, please wait for me. I need to use washroom," she held his sleeve, smiled smugly at him. Gregory rolled his eyes in frustration. He needed to go somewhere after this. But looking at the coquettish way his little sister showed before his very own eyes, made him relent to her wish. He simply shooed her away to do whatever she needed to do. It was not a secret for him to know that she was dating his best friend. He sighed.

He walked to towards the carpark when someone approached him from behind. When he turned around, he was utterly surprise to see the man.

"I'm sorry bro, but it seems I need to exterminate you from this world. I told you before, keep your nose out from my business, but you are really stubborn to the core. So, don't blame me for what is going to happen to you," the man snickered, full of sinister and sarcasm. He took out a muffled gun and pointed it right on his forehead.

It was then Gregory saw his sister almost walked out the door.

"Run! Rose! Run! Turn back in! Call the police!" Rose who was at the entrance, looked at where her brother was and gasped. She saw a man pointed his gun on Gregory's head. She frantically reached for her phone and randomly pressed the numbers on the screen while trying to look at the man but it was then her eyes were covered with a dark material that blocked her eyesight. Was it plastic? Black cloth? She didn't know. All that she saw before then was a man in the black leather jacket shot her brother straight into his head and blood spilled down his head. The next thing she knew was someone brought her to a black van and simply drove off after they killed Gregory.

Tears flowed down her cheeks and Rose struggled to free herself from the material that covered her eyes. Her heart beating so fast that she became breathless. Her hands and legs were tied. She could tell that there were three men in the van and the way they spoke; they must be some thugs that were hired by someone. Who on earth wanted to kill her and her brother earlier? Why?

"This girl is a knockout. I'm aroused just by looking at the way she gulped down her saliva earlier. Are you nervous darling?" The tattooed man caressed her cheek and licked his lips. Rose instinctively moved away from him.

"What don't we just have her here? There's no one else parked here except for that dead man." One of the thugs suggested. After they came to the agreement, they parked in one of parking space. Two of them got down from the van and began to smoke and chatted.

"Ah… That will do too. It has been a while I haven't taste fresh meat. I say we share her among us. What to rush? Boss told us we can do whatever about the girl, if she appears, and there she is, she appeared." Rose began to feel nervous. She tried to scream but she lost her voice. God! What on earth is happening? What on earth happen to my voice? Tears rolling down her cheeks like a river flowing freely.

"Dude, don't be too rough on her. She's still young." The one wearing the leather jacket said while lighted his cigarette. The blondie next to him chimed in, "Bro, I'm next. Look at her skin. It must be soft." He was peeking through the window while watching his friend undressed.

"You'll be mine!" the tattooed man brutally tore off her dress. He caressed her skin with his calloused hands. He was already salivated over the petite young girl who cowered in the corner of the rear seat. He took off the cover from her head and looking at the way her face paled in scared, he felt a sudden rush to his lower region.

He inched closer to her with his lewd expression. Rose kept on pushed him away. She ended bit on his arm and tried to kick him. But she was easily subdued by the man. She was desperate and at that moment she could hear a man wailed.

"Ahhh!!!" One of the thugs wailed that caused the man that almost have his way with her to stop whatever he was about to do. When he got down from the van, he saw both of his friends were lying unconscious on the ground.

"Bastard! I'll kill you!" he charged forward and John swung a bat to the man's head. The tattooed man instantly plopped down on the ground, unconscious. John swiftly moved to the van and helped her out. Looking at the way she was, he swiftly took off his trench coat. He put it on her and wrapped her in it. Rose instinctively wrapped her arms around his waist, held him tight after witnessing how someone casually murdered her brother.

John gently patted her shoulder. He took a step back and stared into her teary eyes.

"I need to bring you out of here. And call the police. Should anything happened, take my phone and call my brother for help," he motioned to her. Rose nodded her head as her tacit understanding. John then brought her to his Maybach. She had just climbed in his car before a deafening gunshot was heard. Then, before her very own eyes, she saw how he fall on his knees and lied in a pool of his own blood. Behind him, a man was seen and in his hand was a gun. Rose bit her lip nervously and quickly made herself invisible by hiding between the gearbox and the passenger's seat and locked the car from inside. It was lucky that the window was tinted in black.

"Did you see her?" It was a woman's voice.

"No. Maybe she was long gone." The man spoke. The way he spoke was familiar to her. But who was he? She didn't want to take a risk and peek to take a look at the two people who had killed John right in front of her eyes.

"It's impossible. I saw her came to see her brother." The woman spoke. Who was she?

"Well, for now, at least we had settled Gregory and John at once. Who knew that John would come here as well? I wonder why he came…"

"Ah… Who cares…"

"We can't take the risk to be exposed now, can we? Come on! We need to move," the man ushered the lady off and both of them drove off in a black Maserati.

Once she ensured the two murderers gone, Rose slowly unlocked the car and swiftly reached John in a pool of blood. She quickly took his phone and slid them inside the pocket of the trench coat. Tears shamelessly flowing through her cheeks that she did not realize someone was approaching her.

"Rose!" She was stunned. She turned her head and saw it was Mike. Mike looked at her, bewildered and shocked at the same time when he saw the dead bodies.

"Mike… Help me…" He quickly reached her and before she could utter any words, Mike rendered her to the unconsciousness. And that was what she had remembered…
