Chapter 17 & 18.
….
BB rushed down the bed the moment she heard the sound of a running bike drive into the compound.
She ran towards the window and grabbed the curtains, fli-pping it widely open with both arms.
She stared out the window. It was very dark outside but she was able to recognise that it was vixen.
She looked away and leaned on the wall grabbing the edge of her dress. She was becoming worrisome and painstake.
Why was vixen here?. How come he was done dealing with Amy as he had said?. Was he here to hurt her?
So many thoughts began to flood throu-ghher head.
She rushed towards the mirror and untied her hair to stri-pe it down her broad shoulders. She ru-bbed some pale coloured li-p gloss on her li-p.
After staring too long at the mirror, she dashed out of her room in a haste, running down the gliding staircase.
” Freeze. Instantly!” Vixen’s voice gripped her in her tracks, leaving her legs and joint to glue to the ground.
She held ti-ght to the rails, staring at the devilish looking man infront of her.
A rou-ghsigh escaped her li-ps after seeing the loaded gun on vixen’s arm.
” Vixen. Are you suppose to be here?. You should be dealing with Amy now, right?” She asked, rushing to take in some breath inbetween.
Vixen stepped forward, very calculative as if to make sure his every step made her heart jump and freeze
” First of all, BB. I want to thank you once again for giving a helping hand in this mission.” He said cheerfully, but then his gaze switched darker.
” But I’m sorry for you once again” He said with a sly grin, curved on his cheek.
” What do you mean by sorry?. This was our plan, right?. Why are you here, acting all wierd?.” She asked.
” Your big suprise.” He muttered, fli-pping the gun in his hand.
” i still don’t un-derstand you.” She said, climbing down the grand stairs.
” I Said, freeze!” He yelled pointing the gun at her. she staggered back in fear, falling back on the stairs feet.
Her heart began to fall and rise. She had no idea what had gotten into vixen head to have made him walk in looking like this.
” Vixen. Why are you trying to hurt me?. I thought we were in this game together?” She asked, bending her brows in worry.
An humorous laugh left vixen’s li-p. He grinned, stepping foward until he was standing next to BB.
He leaned down and used the tip of the gun to brush her hair strand.
” Of course, we were. Not anymore now, lady. This is the new game- How about i end your break light..mn?. It would be sweet fun.” He grinned.
” Vixen. This wasn’t part of our deal!. You have no right to hurt me!!” She yelled, nodding and scowling ha-rd a face.
” That was part of my own personal plans, BB. To kill all of Xan’s girlfriend, past or present!!”
” You can’t. Not to me, vixen. I thought we were friends.” She said, un-der the pressure of tears.
Vixen leaned up and grabbed her hair roots and pulled her towards the livingroom.
She yelled, struggling to free his hands from her hair that seemed as if it would tear off her scalp.
He rou-ghly pushed her to fall her backs on top of the large sofa. She crawled up, staying far away from his embrace.
” I don’t have time to waste on you, miss. I still got Amy to take care of as well, so don’t try to make my job difficult. ” He said.
He prepared his gun and stretched it out to her face.
” Wait…oh please!” She stopped him, covering her face and stretching her arm towards him.
He didn’t respond, his index finger slowly moved in order to push the trigger bu-ttons.
” Stop!” Someone yelled from behind, disrupting vixen’s duo.
He stepped into the livingroom fully to make his presence visible.
Vixen turned around to identify the voice and was suprised it was no other person but sean!.
” Oh good. Now I’d have to handle two coward!” Vixen yelled, falling his arm.
” Let her go now!” Sean threatened him, stepping forward to meet the scene.
” Wait. Aren’t you supposed to be dead by now?. I thought i killed you some time ago?” He asked, scratching his chin.
Sean stopped halfway, looking at him utterly confused.
” Mn?. You killed me?. Who exactly are you?” Sean asked.
” I’m Red. That’s what i am.” Vixen grinned.
” He’ isn’t red, he’s Vixen!. Xan’s brother. He changed his looks” BB chipped in.
Vixen swiftly turned to her and gunned it over to her face, threatening her again.
” Keep shut or you’ll be the first to taste a little sight of death” He warned.
Sean stepped forward, slightly ruffled.
” This can’t be true. Is this you?. Vixen?. How come you look so different?. What happened to your eyes and hair?”
” I’m not here to explain a past story, Sean. Leave!, now that you are still in my good books” He yelled at him.
” I won’t leave here until BB is allowed to go. Let go of BB now!!”
” Is that an order or a request?” Vixen asked, smiling mischievously.
” It’s an order from me!” Sean responded.
” Oh woah!. I’ll about this….” He turned around and placed the gun on her head.
” Make any move now and BB will be dead!. Can you stop me, now?” He asked, his tone sounding very mimcry.
BB quickly snatched the gun away from him and rolled out of the sofa like a fast ninja.
She stood up quickly, pointing the gun at his face in return.
” You don’t count me as a coward, vixen. I know pretty well how to use this pistol. I was once a criminal like you” she blurted.
” Oh, Brave girl!. Good to hear that. When will you be planning to use that on me?” He smi-rked evily.
BB stared at the gun she was stretching forward at him before turning to look at his face.
” Sean will.” She said and threw the gun at sean. Sean immediately caught it instantly.
” Damn. It looks like I’m going to be the loser now. Two over one. Haha.” Vixen held his wai-st, laughing.
BB ran to hide behind his back, shielding for protection.
” Tell us where you’ve taken xan and Amy to. Tell us or you are dead!” Sean yelled at him.
BB came forward, whispering into his ears.
” i think Xan will still be at the grocery mall. Tho, I have no idea where Amy had been taken to.” She said.
” I’m sure if we see xan, we might be able to track amy as well.” Sean told her and turned back to look at vixen.
” If you move…then I’ll have no choice than to kill you.” sean threatened, stepping back a bit.
He turned around and held BB in his arms has they step towards the door.
Vixen brou-ght out his other gun from his inner pocket and shot BB.
The bullet got straight into her back spine. She groa-ned, falling on her kneel and collap-sing on the floor.
Her whole blood spilled out like smashed watermelon.
Sean held ti-ght to the door knob as he watched the horrific view of BB laying so dead on the ground.
He swiftly turned around to escape but vixen skillfully shot one of his feet.
Sean stumbled, his gun sli-pped off his hands sliding far away from him. He leaped throu-ghthe door as his only survival.
Vixen grinned with joy, walking towards BB.
He leaned and tou-ched her che-st. It had stopped beating.
” Two gone, one left.” He muttered.
….
OUTSIDE THE MANSION
Sean leaped in pain as he found his way in to the black luxury car.
He opened the door quickly and sat down, resting his head on the steering wheel.
His legs were shaking terribly. He could feel the bullet straw up to his bones making him feel weak and uneasy.
He was the only hope for xan now. He knew he needed to be strong.
He would meet xan by all means and find Amy immediately so that she wouldn’t be the next to pa-ss throu-ghthe bullet.
He unfolded his trousers. He picked up an handkerchief and tied up his wounds, after which, he threw his head backwards on the headrest.
Sigh.
He was going to do this for his boss to show him how desperate and sorry he was for betraying him.
Even if it deserve him losing his life.
He picked up the keys and turned on the car before he began to accelerate away.
AT THE GROCERIES
Xan arrived back at where he had left Amy. He couldn’t find Amy at the queue again.
The mall had begun to shot down because it was getting very late already.
He picked his phone to call Amy again but it was surprisingly dead.
He leaned on the wall, pocketing his arm and just sighing…and sighing like he had lost the world.
He began to blame himself. This was his fault for not watching over the little girl.
Who knows where her little legs had wandered her off to. If something bad happens to her, he would kill himself for it.
And that stranger that interrupted him a while ago, he was sure he had something to do with her disappearance.
He aimlessly walked around the mall searching around for her. He couldn’t find her inside the mall so he went outside.
His phone buzzed out immediately. It was a call from sean. He stretched the phone towards his ear.
” Hello, sean?. You’ve been discharged?” He asked, kicking his feet on a random object.
” Yes, yes. I’m outside the mall inside your black luxury. Look up you’ll see me.” Sean told him.
Xan raised his brows and scanned the whole area before nodding
” Yes. I see you.” He said.
” Come!. Quickly. There’s a huge problem.” He said.
” There’s also a huge problem here as well. I can’t leave here until i find Amy.” He said.
” That’s exactly what the problem is. Amy has been kidnapped by Vixen.”
” What?!” His voice exclaimed. His head could actually burst at that moment.
” There isn’t much to say on the phone. Just come over to the car quickly.” He told him.
Xan bit his li-p ha-rd as his fingers cut the call. He stiffly crossed the road towards the direction of the other car.
He came in, only to be welcomed by Sean’s swollen foot.
” Your leg?. What happened?” Xan asked.
” Vixen. That’s what happened. He shot me and killed BB right there in the mansion. All your staffs had all run for their lives.”
Xan mouth dropped as sean told him the very tragic news.
” We have to find Amy, at all cost. She could be next.” Sean said.
Xan palmed his eyes.
” i wish i wasn’t born at all. Why would vixen do all this. Why does he hate me as a brother?”
” Xan. We don’t have time to start speaking idoms. Let’s move straight to the plan!” Sean told him.
” I’ll drive to the police. All this has to end today ” He said, picking up the keys.
” No, xan.” Sean stopped him. ” You mustn’t get the police involved in this. It might get more bloody if you try to.”
” Then what am i actually suppose to do?. I can do a magic trick to get Amy back. The police can help us track her down.”
” That’s not what I’m saying, xan. I want you to go to your brother and apologise. That’s the only way to end this.”
” Apo…Apologise?”
” Mn” sean nodded.
” Remember that you were the one who hurt his feelings. Vixen is lost, xan. He his lost in the realm of trying to take a revenge. I’m sure if you bring him down by apologising, he would get himself back.”
” And if he doesn’t listen to my pleads?. What will then happen?.” he asked.
” Then get the police involved” Sean ratted.

AT THE CAMPFIRE SITE.
In the woods, dark as the night.
Amy was sitting near the fire, warming her cold hands as she thought about xan again.
She dropped her hands, looking very lost. She had become less considered of her life and her mind kept on drifting to xan.
She hope he was alright, If at all. She hoped vixen had not try to hurt him in anyway.
The fire was bringing up saw dust and the reflection of the fire was just hovering over her face.
She looked over to the other two men who were at the other end, gisting and smoking their lives out.
She wanted to escape but she knew it would all be in vain. This all place had no way out or way in.
Perhaps, this was their campfire hangouts.
” I’m cold!!” She pouted her li-ps, bi-ting the skin un-der them. The two men turned to stare at her.
” You say?” Kylie asked.
” I’m cold!!.” She yelled, stubbornly.
” The fire isn’t enough to keep you warm, huh?!” He scoffed.
She looked away and tucked her palm into her armpit. Soon, she felt a heavy blanket land on her face.
She dragged them off her head and gently covered her shoulders.
Kylie came to sit next to her.
” Hey. We don’t look like your dad that you would order around what you need..” he said.
” Can i know what you guys would do to me after this?” Amy asked, looking at him.
” Definitely kill you…” Kylie said.
” Huh?”
” Oh perhaps, fuc-k your innocent a-ss” Jimmy laughed, lighting up another cigar.
She looked away and stared at the fire. She pouted her li-ps, avoiding the tears in her eyes.
” All this was my fault. I shouldn’t have met this people if i hadn’t crash throu-ghXan’s car that day. I’m sure I’d be happy living my former life.” She said, sniffing her nose.
” Don’t worry little Amy. We wouldn’t make you feel anything when we want to kill you. It’s just a straight gun shot.” He smi-rked, patting her shoulder.
” I wish i could know why vixen is doing all this. He truly doesn’t have a heart. He is devil, the devil himself!” She yelled.
Jimmy fired up his gun in the air, scaring the ribs out of amy.
” You are not allowed to condemn our boss. So keep shut or we might try to act Nau-ghty” He yelled.
There was silence for a while. No one wanted to a say a word.
” You don’t know the story behind red?” Kylie asked, breaking the silence.
” The story? What story?” She asked.
” You see, back then, red used to be a good person. Not until xan killed his girlfriend right there in school. He became very upset and decided to unleash his anger in Xan’s girlfriend too.”
” Is that why he’s doing all of this. Because of something that happened years back?” She asked.
” Yes. You see. it very heartbroken to hurt someone else love. red wansts xan to feel same way too.”
” But he’s doing more than what xan did. How can he go ahead killing innocent people?”
” You didn’t ask why xan went ahead and killed red innocent girlfriend too” Kylie said.
Amy looked away again, sighing.
” I want to pee. Is there any toilet around here?” She asked.
” Toilet you say?. Haha. We are outside the city, little Amy. There’s no toilet here in the wild.” Kylie laughed.
Jim stood up.
” Hey!. Follow me let me take you to a private corner.” Jim said picking her hands.
She stood up and followed him walking side to side with him.
” When will vixen arrive?” She asked, as they moved throu-ghthe thick bushes and sticks.
” As soon as he’s done with BB.” He said.
” Wait. BB Is part of this too?”
” You ask questions alot!. Go there and pee.” He pointed and turned his backs at her to wait.
Amy nodded and walked over where she was suppose to pee. She squ-atted and picked up a heavy stick.
She stared at it and an idea appeared above her head.
So many evil and Nau-ghty things began to flood in her mind. She bit her li-ps hard, tiptoeing towards the man who was backing her.
She ran over to him and stretched it up in the air, the man suddenly turned and looked at her.
She freezed, widening her eyes in shock as the stick was high up in her hand ready to land on his head.
” Hum?. I..i…just…”
She threw the stick away and began to run speedily into nowhere.
” Hey!. You!. Stop…Hey!” Jim yelled and out of anger, he pushed the gun trigger.
