” Shit! shit! Get off you stupid rats!”, I yelled in a whispery manner, kicking with my legs until I accidentally kicked one of the empty oil barrels in the darkness. It’s metallic sound resonated throughout the building. ” Oh shit!”, I exclaimed, ” I gotta find somewhere to hide”, I muttered as I felt around the place randomly, looking around for somewhere to hide. I just decided to hide in one of the empty barrels.
” It came from over here”, one guy said as he pointed a flashlight in my direction. There were holes in the barrel where I was hiding, so I could see the men. They were about four of them, all armed. They sounded like Latinos.
” It’s probably just them raccoons”, another said, ” let’s just go back to the our game”, he urged.
” Yeah man, it’s not like anyone ever comes in here anyways”, the third guy said.
” Hmmm”, the first one thought as he scratched his head, ” I could have sworn that sound came from here”, he said. ” Oh well, let’s go back”, he said as all three began to move away. I watched carefully to see where they would go. They opened a door, from which light came through, illuminating the whole landscape for a brief moment before the darkness engulfed it again as the door closed.
” Yes! I got you guys”, I said as I slowly and quietly came out from the barrel. I snuck around with my phone’s flashlight until I located the door. On getting to the door, I got a bit puzzled. ” What could possibly lie behind the door?”, I thought. I was a bit afraid that it would be a small room and that I’d get caught the moment I opened the door. After a few minutes of deliberation, I decided to do something eccentric. I knocked on the door three times and quickly ran to hide. I picked out a pen from my pocket and waited. Then the door suddenly opened, and the three guys came out again.
” I told you guys there’s someone in here”, the first guy said, ” but y’all didn’t believe me”, he accused.
” Yeah blah blah, let’s call the boys at the gate”, the second guy said. Then the third pulled out a walkey-talkey and called.
” Carlos man, can you hear me? what’s your status?”, he asked, but there was no response. ” Carlos, what’s your status?”, he asked again and yet again, there was no response.
” You think they got taken out? because I don’t think we’re dealing with just raccoons”, the first guy said. Just as he was talking, I flung my pen in the direction of the entrance with a lot of force. The pen made a collision with a barrel which made a resonating clanging sound.
” Who’s there?!”, the first one startled, asked as he pointed his flashlight in that direction, ” Come on guys, I think he’s trying to get away”, he said as all three ran towards the entrance.
” Alright boys, thanks for your cooperation”, I said sarcastically as I snuck into the room and shut the door. ” What the fuck?!”, I said in astonishment as I stared around the room. It was a huge room with lots of light and it had the interior decor of a nineteenth century mansion. There was no one inside. ” Geez, I gotta take a picture of this”, I said as I took out my phone and took a few shots. ” I better hurry up”, I thought. I searched all the rooms until I got to one where there was a man lying on the bed. There were a lot of medical apparatus around monitoring his heart rate and the rest of his organs. It was clearly Mr Kelly and it was quite surprising to see him in this state. ” I gotta send this to Justin pronto”, I muttered as I took multiple pictures of him. I was about to send it when I heard the sound of a gun cock behind me and slowly raised my hands up. ” Drop the phone now”, a voice said from behind. I turned around to face them. ” Alright alright, I’ll drop it, just chill out okay?”, I said as I gently bent down to drop the phone.
” Okay, now get up gently with your hands up”, he said. I looked around and he was the only one in the room. He didn’t seem to be one of the three guys from before.
” You seem to be alone”, I said to him, ” where are the rest of your comrades?”, I asked.
” Shut the hell up and stay still!”, he shouted at me as he searched for his phone to give the others a call. He stared at me intensely while his hand ruffled his pocket. When he got his phone out, he probably wanted to dial a number when he took his eyes off me for a split second. Instantly I pulled out my stungun and shit him. His body vibrated and jerked about intensely before he passed out on the floor. ” Pheww! that was really close”, I thought as I picked up my phone from the floor and sent the pictures to Justin. ” I better make myself scarce before those guys get back”, I muttered to myself. I was about to go through the path through which I came in until I heard the door of the living room area open with voices arguing.
” He’s got to be around here”, the first guy said, ” he couldn’t have gotten far even if he ran away”, he said.
” You saying we should chase some random ass dude who we don’t even know exists and leave the boss’s dad here alone?”, the second asked.
” We can leave him to Boris”, the first one said, ” we’ll just wake him up”, he added. I heard his footsteps coming closer. ” Shit! there’s no window”, I exclaimed silently as I looked for a window to jump through. Then I looked up and there was an air vent. ” Perfect!”, I thought as I picked picked up a chair and climbed in, closing it back on my way in. ” I better get out of here as soon as possible”, I thought as I crawled my way through the dark boxy tunnel. ” Good thing I ain’t claustrophobic”, I thought. Just then, my phone rang. ” Oh shit!!!”, I exclaimed as I tried to cut the call, but being in that compact air duct made it nearly impossible to get my phone. ” There he is!!!”, I heard from below as they opened fire on me. I crawled as fast as I could trying to find an escape point. I saw one that led to a dark storage room. I opened it and jumped in. Luckily, there was nothing too sonorous in the room. I took out my phone and put it on airplane mode. It was my sister who called. ” Damn it sis, you almost got me killed”, I muttered. Then I noticed a small amount of nearly unnoticeable light coming from somewhere. ” Finally, a window”, I thought as I looked around and jumped out. I looked around trying to see a place I could escape from. ” I think the entrance is that way”, I thought as I began to run in that direction. I knew they’d be waiting for me at the entrance. So I hid behind what I thought was a tractor and I took out a silencer and put it on my gun. Then I shot at a distant part of the factory.
” Over there!!!”, I heard one shout as they ran towards the place I shot. I came out and ran towards the entrance. ” Finally! I’m outta here”, I thought as I ran towards the entrance. Just as I was about to reach the entry gate, I was shot in the shoulder. ” Ahhh fuck!”, I exclaimed as I went somewhere to hide. I pulled out my gun. I heard footsteps approaching me while I hid. I was trying to hold myself from screaming. The pain was unbearable. ” Come out, come out wherever you are”, a voice said, ” you’ve finally being caught you raccoon”, he said. As he kept talking, I used his sound to pinpoint his location. Then lay on the ground, with my upper body now exposed, I shot him in the head. I sighed the moment I saw him drop dead. Then I mustered up the strength to stand and then walked out off the gate and headed straight to my car. On getting into the car, I brought out my phone and turned off the airplane mode. Then I called my sister, who picked up almost immediately.
” Where the hell are you? I’ve been calling you for so long. Do you know how worried I am?”, she yelled at me which made me shift my head away from the phone.
” Geez calm down sis. I’m on my way back. Just get some hot water ready”, I said as I hung up, started the engine and drove off into the night .
