Nikolai sat on a crate, alone, in a dark warehouse. While loading his handgun, scenes of him betraying his fellow mercenaries and Carlos opposing him entered his mind… “I should have killed him while I could…” he mumbled.
Without notice, the metal door flew open. Moonlight flooded in, so did the vengeful memories of Carlos. “Come out, you traitor!” Carlos shouted as he raised his handgun and took a step forward. Nikolai flicked a switch on, lighting the entire warehouse up.
“I can see you have come to kill me, haven’t you…?” Nikolai
raised his handgun too, and walked towards Carlos… “Consider yourself lucky
to be able to escape together with that bitch.
Why have you come to court death again…?” Nikolai said menacingly.
“Shut up, you bastard! I’ve come to revenge my fellow team mates!”
Upon hearing this, Nikolai did not respond… Everything grew silent, as they stared at each other, with their guns pointing at each other’s head. Finger-biting anxiety filled the entire atmosphere as hatred filled their souls…
Carlos took the first move, and fired repeatedly at Nikolai. Nikolai ducked to the corner, slamming the lights off, thus
beginning a “cat and mouse chase”.
“Coward! Come out here right now!” Carlos shouted.
No response… Suddenly, a
sound of scraping metal was heard, five feet in front of Carlos, behind a huge
crate. He walked towards it slowly,
turned round the corner, and with break-neck speed, fired repeatedly at it.
“There you go! Traitor!”
After the dust settled, Carlos gasped as there was nothing in front of
him… All he could see… or feel… was a gun against his head behind!
“There I go? You mean, there YOU go!”
Nikolai sneered. “One move and your brain splatters!”
Carlos acted quick, and with full force, elbowed Nikolai! But the
receiver was quicker, he blocked Carlos’ blow, pull the
trigger……”BANG!”
