"Ugly Kiari!" I looked at the direction where the voice came from, I saw Baron. I glanced at him with a burning gaze for calling me ugly. He has handcuffs and bruises! this old ugly Mens did that to him. They are like eight men? looking after him.

"Let him go," I announced but they didn't listen. I looked at the ugly old Brookers he smirked at me raising his eyebrows and that's constantly annoyed me.

"Tell me truth kiari, did you killed parker?" he asked I know he wants the truth. And he will use that stupid truth against me. He wants the truth 'caused he want to prove something to the government and received some recognition.

I looked at Baron and he frowned.

I smile nonchalantly at him and looked at the ugly old man. Does he want the truth? Okay. truths will kill you ugly old.

"You want the truth? okay, turn on your audio recording make sure it's clear." I Said fully sarcastic. I knew it he was shocked but soon, he managed to act like a stupid cool ugly old.

"Ugly no! this is a trap!" Baron shouted. I hate him! for calling me ugly even we're in the middle of a mission. He always makes me feel I'm stupid. I just ignored him and focus on the ugly old Man.

"I killed parker," I said and looked at him with the looked of complete sarcasm, playfully smiling. And the look that asked satisfied now?

"Great Kiari. You're the devil fish he chased." He said. Back off ugly old, or I lost control and blown off all our heads at the same time.

"Let him go," I said deeply cold.

"Men! Let go of the flunkey of the devilfish!" The ugly old shouted and he let out a robust laughed.

Feel amused man? Gratify to the evidence? Haha...We're not over yet. Do you think I'll let you drag me down?

They let go of Baron and Baron walked through me. The ugly old Brooker exited the house holding the audio recording up for me to see.

"Bye! Bye! kiari see you in jail?" He said and laughed again while waving both hands showing me the audio recorder.

"Bye ugly old Brookers You'll soon live in hell together with your pets," I said faintly smirked. And looked them with my burning gazed.

They turned their back to us and get in their car.

"Kiari, Why did you do that?! we are all dead." Baron was seemingly uneasy and worried.

"Don't worry I'll get that recording back. They won't get too far." I explained cockily cue

"What do you mean Kiari?" He asked looking at me puzzled.

"I put ice picks, on their tires and in 30 minutes they won't get away from here. Their tires were going to flat. So Baron prepared our men. We are going to surprise the ugly old Brookers." I said idiotically.

"Right away Kiari," he said and he started to run.

After a minute they came back and entered the house. Unlocked the secret entrance to the basement and get guns for themselves.

I get in the car with Baron and started to speed up to our way to fetch the ugly old Brooker for his trip to hell. My men were following us.

Just a second I saw them standing in the middle of the road. And one of his men kicking the tires. I parked the car keeping distance from the theme. And secretly hide on the big tree and started shooting them.

I saw the ugly old brokers panicking to save his life. We killed them all and left Bookers alive at the moment.

He tried to run away but my Man stopped him.

"Ugly old Brookers!" I shouted at him, and he rotated to face the devil.

"Stop this Kiari!" He shouted. He was shaking not too noticeable. He was trying to act like he didn't scare to death.

"Do you really think I let you drag me down?!" I asked him furrowed eyebrowed and he gave me a dreading looked.

He down on bended knee.

"I'm so sorry Kiari. Please don't kill me, I have a family who waits for me. I just really need the money." He said begging and tears started to fell down on his ugly face.

"Family?" I asked angrily.

"Yes, Kiari. I know you, you know the feeling of being left behind" He said. I hate him! I felt my tear scrolling down. He really got into my nerves. He triggered my anger.

I throw him a death glare and aimed the gun to his head. And he keeps crying and begging me to stop.

I lowered my gun and turned away. He said thank you, Stupid ugly old we're not done. I turned around, grabbing my knife and throwing it to him. It hit the center of its neck, he was holding the knife, I watched him strangled to death.

I searched for the recorder in his pockets and snatched it. Then smash it on the road and trashed it by shooting it. As I get rid of him and his pets, I leave. His words hit me.

I get in the car and drove my way to hell ends. Stupid Brookers he doesn't have to say that!

I headed straight to the bar and drowned myself to alcohol. I stood up from the couch and strolled my way to the comfort room. A stupid man bumped at me and hit my shoulder since I'm bold and strong than he was, he fell on the floor. I throw him a deadly glare and headed straight to the bar's comfort room.

When I go out. To my surprise, seven men were waiting for me. They act like a stupid gangster, and I hated those gestures. I walked and passed them but they stopped me.

Seriously boys? stopping satan is new to me. You should've stayed out in my way.

I looked at the man who stopped me and stared at him like I was killing him.

They laughed at me.

"Hey, Men! just wanna have a drink with you. If you would like to I can buy you the most expensive drinks." He said sarcastic and looked at his friends and they laughed. Tapping my shoulder while nodding and playfully smirked.

I turned around, I should just ignore them. But I feel the flashed of cold liquid on my back.

You're really testing the demons patient? Well, technically demons are impatient.

I walked toward him and grabbed the glass of liquor off from his hand and broke the glass on the head. He looked at me stunned angrily and fear. He walked closer to me and about to give me a punched But I hold his hand and punched him and his friends never attempted to get closer. The bouncer stopped me, and they saw the men lying on the floor nearly lifeless. He puked on blood and holding his stomach.

He's an idiot for crossing my way.

I came here for peace and yet the demons chased me. The mere fact that living in this world won't give me peace. It's better to be gone.

But I haven't got what I wanted yet. So better to stay out on my way.

I drove back to my condo the casual speed. Parked my car and get off angrily shutting the door.

I just wanna have some rest, this day was exhausted me.

The ugly old Brookers word lingered into my mind. Yes, I got family and they left me behind, not because they have to, but because they were chased by the demon and I witnessed all of that brutal killings.

Flashback

I was on my way home, I don't know why Mom didn't fetched me to school. So I walked my way home. When I'm near to the house, I saw men in black and they're holding a gun. I hurriedly hid myself without making any sound and peep over through a small hole. The fear filled in me as I saw my Mom and Dad and my twin handcuffed and on their bended knees.

The gun aimed at their heads and that scared me most, my Mom saw me, and her eyes signaled that I should run away. I was stunned and don't know what to do. I don't know what I just felt at that time. I wanted to help them but I don't know how. My feet turned to jelly and I looked at my Mom, everything went tensed and I'm not ready to this kind of instances.

Tears running down from her angelic eyes and shaking in fear. I saw my dad begging at least to let go of my twin and Mom. But the men in black refused. They started shooting my twin and I covered my mouth before I made a grunting commotion and alarm them with my presence. My mom shouted to my twin who was now lying in his pool of blood and lifeless.

Next target of the men in black was my Mom. Without a second the bang of gun boomed around, and as I opened my eyes my Mom was lifeless and one tear was left on her swollen eyes. The men aimed the gun at my Dad saying goodbye to him then blown off his head. They left the house and one man saw me. I ran as fast as I could with a jelly foot to get away. The man chased me, I was running while crying that time. I was broken, devastated, fustrated, exhausted and messed up. But here I am running to save my life, dodging deaths.

My capacity failed me. I stopped at the forest and hid behind the big tree, catching my breath. I looked at the man that chased me, he's gone. Maybe he was off the track, but I'm thankful. I walked inside the forest find something to eat and drink.

I looked at the tree. Finding apple or grapes if there are. I saw a big tree scaded of mangoes. I grabbed as many as I can carry and I roamed around the forest and find something to drink. I stopped at the lake and soaked myself in the water. Remembering what happened to my family traumatized me. I can't help but cry. I was peacefully eating my mango when someone covered my mouth and pulled me from the tree I was sitting at. He brought me to his car and I started shouting and trying to ran away but he locked the car's door. He covered my mouth and looked at me blankly but still, it scares the shit out of me.

When I looked at his face I can't help but cried thinking that was my last day to live. Though I love my life I can't to anything to save myself. This man infront of me, was the man that chased me.

The tears scrolled down on my face uncontrollably and my heart beat raced inside me. The fear of dying frightened me and the thoughts about it killed me already. I just waited for him to snatch the gun from his six pockets pant and aim it to the centre of my head. As he moved and reached his hand to his pocket, I closed my eyes and waiting for him to pull the trigger and the boom of gun and blow of my head. But it didn't came, I slowly opened my eyes and he was drinking water and then he handed it to me.

Why he didn't kill me? Offering me water? seriously? are you preparing me for the greatest surprise of me in hell? Well thank you, but I'm thirsty so I grabbed the bottled and drank it. I don't care if he put poison on it but I'm ready to face death and travel to hell.

After I drank it and waited for the result. I'm still observing myself to death but never happened. Pfft. gonna laughed inside my head at my own exaggerated. He smiled at me like crazy.

"It seems like you're ready to face satan kid." the men in the black said and he smirked. I was looking at him blankly. "Not yet kid I need you," he said. Oh! who would have thought that this useless kid still had a purpose?

Does he need me? stupid old rags.

"You killed them!" I shouted to him angered.

"I didn't kid I'm not the one aiming the gun into them. I know you see that." He said coldly.

"But you're one of the ugly old," I said to him and he let out a robust laughed.

"I'm one of them but not really part of them." He said shooking his head and smirked.

He drove the car and started speeding up. I was so nervous, he doesn't drive the car as a normal person does. Maybe if he'll take the brake, I'll die because I'll be flying and banging my head on the car tinted glass. Which he did, he stepped at the brake and my head hit on the glass. And my sight became blurred, I saw him smirked before I gained unconsciousness.
