Rescue Suzie (IV)

As he got into the sewer line, he immediately closed his nose and mouth blocking the heavy stink attacking him. His face got a bit green and his stomach was turning. He felt the dead zombie body was better than this. He looked around and noticed the small stream of black murky water in the middle and the garbage on the edges. He spread his feet to the edges and tried not to step into the water at any cost.

Shaking his head and trying to remove these thoughts, he slowly moved forward. The man-hole to the inside was the very next one and was only a few feet away from him. But this felt like a few kilometers for him. Slowly moving across the garbage and covering his mouth as hard as he could, he reached the man-hole which was supposed to take him inside.

Grabbing on the ladder, he slowly opened the lid, not too much but enough for him to peek. He found himself staring at the wall and noticed it was on the other side. He slowly turned his head to look around for any people and found there was only on his right to the distance. He waited for the man to move out and slowly kept the sword out before making his way out.

He didn't close the man-hole this time. He needed to be quick to go out this time with Suzie. He looked at the window to a hallway inside and found a person's back towards him. He smirked when he noticed there was no one in front of him and made his way to the window.

The window was already open as the guy was taking his leisure time to smoke a cigarette. He stood up and quickly choked the guy with both his hands, bringing him to a headlock. He suffocated the guy and slowly took out his gun before pointing it to his face.

The guy who wanted to chill for a bit was scared out of his wits when he got attacked. He wanted to scream but wasn't able to because of the tight grip on his neck. When he felt the hot muzzle of the gun on the side of his head, he closed his eyes and prayed.

Mark loosened the grip a bit and slowly said, "Now, I need some information. If you are willing to cooperate, I will leave you alive. If not, you can kiss your life goodbye." keeping more pressure on the gun and making each word he said as clear and low as he could.

The man had no other choice but to nod, silently noticing a chance to live. Mark smiled and continued, "Good. Now tell me where is the girl your boss's brother brought back a few days ago. And I dare you to lie, I will kill you if you do." in an icy voice.

The guy nodded and said, "They threw the girl into a room and the boss's brother wanted to enjoy her today. I saw her being taken into his room just now." This made Mark release his murderous aura, making the guy wet his pants.

"Where is the room?"

"It is on the first floor, right above the room beside us." pointing his shaky hands to a door to the right not far from them.

Mark nodded and slowly released the guy, but before the person could realize that he released him. Mark struck the gun to his navel, completely knocking him out cold. Mark took a step back as he noticed the window of the room above.

He couldn't barge in and take the stairs, so he looked around to find something useful for him. He stripped the gun and his sword back to his waist and found a pipe big enough to help him climb up. He slowly rubbed his fingers and tried to get a better grip on the pipe, checking if it was strong enough.

Once he was ready, he slowly kept a leg on the window panel of the ground floor taking some help to get up. After getting both his legs on the window panel, he slowly removed the left leg and kept it on a big nail on the other side of the pipe, trying to go higher. He kept a bit of his weight and found the nail sturdy enough to get on to.

After finding some good balance on the left leg, he lifted the right one and kept it on a similar nail. He held the pipe tight with both his hands, in case the nails fell off. He looked to his side and found the window to the room they took Suzie into.

The window was open, and Mark smirked at the convenience. He slowly moved his hand to the window frame, trying to find some support, and looked in. He saw something which made his blood boil to the very core of his being.
