Revelations

An eerie silence dominated the scene as an evil grin escaped Runtown's lips. He watched Mr Payne weep bitterly on his knees, same with Alex.

"Why?" He asked bitterly.

"Now I won't bother you anymore" Runtown replied.

He turned to look at Alex, "Take the boy"

"No" Mr Payne yelled, he wasn't gonna let them take Alex, the only member of his family left alive. He stood up and drove a to the guard who tried to take Alex, and once again.

A bullet escaped Runtown's gun, into his chest, "ah" he managed to scream.

He regretted going into drugs and arms dealing business, but he didn't have a choice when he started it eight years ago, he was financially broke, he had no other choices, and now see what it has cost him, his life and that of his family, he sobbed, and groaned painfully, sprawling on the floor. Pa! Another of Runtown's bullet sank into his head from the back, he gave up the ghost.

"Take him" Runtown pointed at Alex.

Two of the guards tried to drag Alex towards their car at a distance, he stepped on the feet of one of the guards offensively, and drove a kick into the second one's balls.

"Ugh"

They tried to shoot him......

"Don't you dare, I need him Alive, he'll be good for business" Runtown stopped them.

Alex saw this as an opportunity to flee, so he fled.

"After him"

Swooch!

They chased after him, as he made for the truck behind him.

"Oh screw it, shoot him if you have to, don't let him get away"

Runtown yelled orders at them.

Pweeen! Pweeenn!

Bullets flew past Alex, missing him by hair's breath.

He kept on running, he ran past the truck, but he couldn't get far, when two bullets hit his left leg, and right arm.

"Aaaaaaaaargh" his screams could be heard as he went down immediately.

He saw the men coming to confirm if he was dead so he pretended to be dead, by becoming still, and seizing his breath temporarily.

With the way he screamed and went down immediately, they believed foolishly, that he was truly dead, maybe today was just his lucky day.

"He's dead" one of the men confirmed.

"Oh what a waste, let's get outta here" Runtown said angrily, and they made for their cars.

Swing!

He released his breath as they left, breathing heavily, his arm and leg were both bleeding, the bullets had done much damage. He struggled to get up but he couldn't, the pains were too excruciating.

He sobbed bitterly, his dad, mum, and Lucia wwee all gone. There was nothing to live for, he'd lost everything. He closed his eyes, and gave in to the pressure. *Black out*

45 minutes later, some minutes to 5:am, a red car zoomed through the bridge and was forced to hit the brakes as he saw the bodies on the scene and vehicles in the way.

A man clad in a trenchcoat and black trousers, wielding a rifle alogjted from the car. He walked forwards and surveyed the area for a whole. He shook his head in pity and lay down his guard.

He turned to go but something caught his attention, the boy lying beside the truck just moved his leg, the man ran to the boy, "please help" were the last words he said before blacking out finally.

The man carried him into his car and drove away, at high speeds.

Uknown Location, Unknown Time.

The sound of a creaking door sprang him to his consciousness, his eyes slowly opened, his blurry vision cleared after a few seconds. He was still staring at the white ceilings when he heard a masculine voice.

"You're really strong boy" he sat up and saw a man standing beside the bed dressed in a red t-shirt and black baggy trousers, his beard was well shaved. Alex scanned the room, a luxurious TV was hanging on the side of the wall, the walls were painted blue, two chairs were kept at the edge of the room. Alex was shirtless, but he was wearing blue shorts, his head ached a little.

"Where am I? Who are you?"

"My house, relax boy" the man persuaded.

" My name is Martin Edward Truth, I am glad I could save you" the man answered.

"Thank you very much sir" Alex then burst into tears.

"What happened?"

"We were running from a dangerous man named Runtown, but eventually, he and his men caught us and it led to the deaths of my parents, and elder sister" he explained.

"I'm deeply sorry about that kid" "do you have any other relatives?"

"Nope, none that I know of!"

"You managed to survive that, but you lost an amount of blood" Martin said.

"Are you a doctor?" Alex asked.

"No, but I have nurse friends" Martin replies, rolling his eyes.
