TRINITY
I have no idea what terrible things I’ve done in the past that have led up to this point. I have no other option except to throw myself out of the window. One more time, I turned my head to look at Miko, but all I could see on his face was a grin. Fuck him!
“Get a move on, Trinity. They intend to put an end to you here. To be saved, you will need to take some kind of risk. You shouldn’t be here any longer. Just jump!” I convinced myself.
Before opening the window, I breathed deeply and held it for a moment. The chilly air welcomed my body, which caused my heart rate to quicken. Even if my lower body and arms are trembling, I have no other option. Since I am on the third floor, I assumed the impact would not be very severe; therefore, I looked down to see the tall grass.
This is it. Fuck! You can do it!” I exclaimed and started to position myself.
I took a few more steps forward and exhaled a long, deep breath before continuing my climb. I glanced at the door and saw that the armed officers were already there; therefore, I did not hesitate to let myself fall down. Hopefully, I will not die from this.
“Get her!” I could hear the guard’s screams, but it was too late for them to do anything because I had already jumped.
I let out a groan as my body slammed into the ground. Thankfully, the surface is not made of a solid block of cement, but I also got slight pain in my legs and arms. The pain would be much worse for me if the ground weren’t muddy and there wasn’t grass. I’m still lucky.
“Fuck! Just do it. Trinity. That didn’t hurt that much. Get off the ground and leave this place. Go!” I managed to talk some sense into myself and started standing up despite the pain.
I focus all my strength on opening my eyes, and then stand up. It appears the guards will start shooting at me with their firearms, so I need to find somewhere to hide. They shouldn’t be able to get to me because I won’t survive if they do.
“Stop running like a whore! To all my comrades, please keep firing at her! Don’t be afraid to go out and do that. The boss wants her, whether she is alive or dead,” the guard shouted.
I put my palms to my ears and sprinted to the fastest speed possible. I don’t know where to go because the place is surrounded by plenty of tall grass. All I want is just to run away from them.
“Trinity! Where are you right now? Trinity! You are in safe hands with us!”
When I heard a familiar voice shouting close to me, I stopped for a little while. I can say without a doubt that it was Dylan. Because I’ve known him for a long time, I can confidently say it was his voice. Fuck! Is this serious? Dylan’s here?
“Trinity! I am sure that you can hear me. Do you remember the games we played when you were younger? Go to that place, and you will find us there. You got it?” Someone yelled at me.
Fuck! It was Seiko! What are they doing in this place? They came to help me, didn’t they? Fuck! I can’t believe how lucky I am. I am no longer all by myself.
“Comrades! Get ready to take action, for we are about to kill outsiders. They believe so much in themselves to use a microphone just to call the whore. Split up! Killing them now will prevent the boss from finding out later,” the guard in the window shouted.
The other half put their weapons down, and even though I can’t see them, I’m sure they’re running to warn all of their allies that we must be killed. I also see some guards here in the guards, and I’m sure they are chasing me. Fuck! I need to see Dylan and Seiko as soon as I can.
“Trinity, you can do it,” I whispered to myself as I quickened my running to get away from the other guards who were coming to kill me.
I ran to the nearest well to this area. I quickly spotted it because of the thick rope coiled in the pole. This is what Seiko is trying to tell me. We always played in the well when I was a child. It’s my safe place before when I have a problem. I also remembered how Seiko would listen to me. I miss those days.
“Trinity! We’re here!” Dylan shouted as he saw me running.
I gave him a warm smile, but before I could shake either of their hands, I heard a gunshot, and the bullet hit my right arm. I didn’t expect that because I was focused on Seiko and Dylan. I was too overwhelmed to see them here, and I forgot the guards that were shooting.
“Fuck! Trinity!” Dylan yelled, and then he ran over to help me.
They came to me while Seiko was backing up. Every guard that he sees gets shot by him. Even though Seiko was a low-key fighter, I know him to be an excellent aimer. Because he misses his target so rarely, I wasn’t surprised to see that the guards were already falling to the ground whenever he fired his gun.
“Are you okay? The car is not far away. Come on, and we must go quickly if we want to avoid further trouble here. We couldn’t fight against them. They have many guards, and I am down to my last few bullets. Dylan, help her,” Seiko explained when they finally got me.
We didn’t waste a lot of time, and we ran as quickly as we possibly could. There were a series of gunshots everywhere, but we still managed to get to the car. Seiko immediately started the engine and didn’t mind the guards coming after us.
“Within the compartment is stored the first aid kit. Get it, Dylan. There are bandages in that area to help stop the bleeding from Trinity’s arm. Also, please fasten your seatbelts because I am going to push this car to its maximum speed,” Seiko explained, and we moved without thinking twice.
After a long wait, Dylan came back to me with the kit and treated my wound with the primary treatment. When he applied the bandage, it was painful, but all I could do was close my eyes and bear the pain. My injury is not a highly pressing matter at the moment. We have to get out of here as soon as possible.
“You know I rarely say it, but I’m grateful you came to help me. Honestly, I don’t have high hopes of running from there, but you came. How did you know that I was there?” I asked them while Dylan was finishing my wound.
Seiko just nodded, and I know what he meant by that. He is focusing on driving, so I didn’t pressure him to answer. Instead, I got my attention back to Dylan to ask him. I have been worried until now, so I need to know the updates.
“Do Hunter okay? He is giving me a lot of reasons to be concerned. Is he safe? I wanted to help him, but when I woke up, I was in that hell place. I still couldn’t believe what happened there,” I said to him.
Dylan flashed me a smile, and I assumed there was some good news. Thankfully, I was right because he nodded and gave me an assurance look.
“Hunter is doing fine. He has been relaxing and watching for your return all this time. Don’t be concerned about him any longer; we’ve got his back guarded,” Dylan said, which made me hug him.
Fuck! It’s a big relief that he’s fine. Just wait for me, Hunter. I’ll be there. Hold onto my words.
