Haunted Heist : La Casa Manavi

Chapter 13

As me and Tulio flowered into a conversation of heather, roses blossomed through the air, frankly I never felt like the way I talked with him from someone else, he was different, he was perfect, and yet, he's cute.

Anyways, as we bounced back towards the conversation of where we left off, my reply towards Tulio's answer gave a shock, I think it quite changed the way of feelings for me, as it was for him.

"I'd have you silly." I said. "Me? what do you mean?" asked Tulio like a senseless child while I leaned down towards his ear to which he felt nervously as I whispered through it. "I think you'd understand perfectly." I said as I landed down a kiss on his ear and turned away towards back to my shelter.

I didn't look back, but I could say, he was both shocked, and happy at the same time, he'd only start moving in the next ten minutes or so, maybe 5? I'm not sure. I know I'm not a romantic, but I think he'd like me back with a response like that, or so I believed, until.. Let's just skip back towards the pool where others seem to have their fun.

"God, this is amazing.. it feels just like my home." Dwayne, relaxing in the rays of moonlight with his hands and legs bathed in the pool of glory, and his leg got better, so there is that.

"Your home looks like this?" asked Austin, confused by Dwayne's comment, although he looked like he was being serious, he wasn't to the eye.

"s**t, I didn't mean that, my childhood home, it's so relaxing, just like the one I had, it didn't fit the description, but the feeling was the same." said Dwayne, trying to explain his feeling, and to be honest, it kind of makes it true, I mean, we all did feel something when we entered wonderful, for some, it was home, or others, it was paradise, for Dwayne and me, it lifted our spirits so high, we couldn't even tell the difference between our life and theirs.

"I know what you mean." said Austin which shocked out Dwayne, realising he wasn't the only one having this unique feeling. "You do?" asked Dwayne eagerly.

"Nah, I'm kidding." said Austin as he starts chuckling while being knocked on by Dwayne's feet, it was only half the foot, so Austin must have rubbed it off easily, otherwise, things might have escalated into a fight that day, Austin did have a short temper.

"Shut up, man." said Dwayne, having betrayed of being sent into a joke while Austin is laughing aimlessly. "Yeah, yeah, I will.. hey, speaking of, where the hell is Tulio?" asked Austin who soon realised the disappearance of Tulio as soon as he checked on the absence of his tone "I don't know, one minute he was here, and the next, probably out to take on a leak or something." said Dwayne, thinking it wasn't big of a deal. I would have added something up, but I wasn't there at the time.

"Huh.. hope it didn't take him far." said Austin smelling something fishy is about to take place which he didn't realise. "Yeah, alright.. hey, I've been meaning to ask, who the hell are you?" asked Dwayne which got Austin all cranked up with a shock, he didn't exactly mean to ask who he was, it's just that everyone had a past and present before getting in on this chase, me and Dwayne had a history, and the others, they were known to us long before we'd even meet, at least with names even.

But Austin wasn't like that, he was.. he came out of the blue like a guardian angel, only with a interest on cowboys and dry sneakers. We've knew nothing about him, who he was, how did he end up in here, he only stated the facts what we needed to know and nothing more than that, and it was fishy, real kind of fishy.

"Who am I? I just told you, I'm Austin, I am here to hell you y'all." said Austin. "See, that's the thing, we've never been told anything about getting a help, all we were said, is that we know each other, and we gotta stick out if we're gonna win this, nothing more than that, so I'm out here wondering, how the hell did the WIC Company knew exactly when we'd get in trouble and send us help?" asked Dwayne.

"Are you saying, I might be lies?" asked Austin with a calm sensational tone, maybe he was being real, or maybe, it was a drama all along, who knows? wait, you're about to.

"I didn't say that, it's just.. can you explain exactly on who you are before you got here, how did the WIC Company reach you in perfect time, and send you out to help in due time as well?" asked Dwayne, holding a pinpoint pen on his revelation that is about to come.

"Look, the reason I didn't tell much about my past, cuz there ain't any, all I can tell you is what I know, and what I know is some chick in a hot mask reached me out with a offer and I've accepted and got here, that's all..I don't know anything about this game show, or why you guys seem vaguely irritating, all I know, is the only way I'm gonna get to leave and spend all that cash I was promised? is to get you all out of here safety, at least one if I could, and then mission accomplished, that's all." said Austin. "They requested you to bring only one of you?" asked Dwayne.

"No, no, no, At least one, at least one of you, that's what I said." said Austin. "But why did they reach to you? what was your job before all this?" asked Dwayne.

"I was a contractor, alright? I was a private military contractor, been working fine for about three years or so, until I got dishonourably disgraced due to negligence of duty, after that, luck came rushing down on me, with the lady I said in a Casino Room." said Austin.

"What were you doing in a casino room?" asked Dwayne. "Trust me, you don't wanna know." said Austin while they continued chatting down on all their history and funtimes, it would have been fun at first, but then it would be boring, so I'd quit.

Anyways, while they wasted time, on the world outside, Anthea and her loyal protector reached on their safehouse, one that suited only to the luxury of life, as it was a top suite on the second level penthouse next to a douchebag's one.

"Is that a party going on?" asked Anthea as she viewed the spot towards the window while they arrived. "Yeah, it's.. the neighbors, only safehouse closest to our location is this, it's the only one we could find for now." said Jordon.

"Okay, I wasn't complaining, I was gonna ask, that's all." said Anthea while Jordon parked the car. "You asked, you mean." added Jordon as he opens the car door.

"Come on, we can't be wasting time." said Jordon as he gets out of the car while Anthea follows him all the way to the elevator, while they reach towards the door on to their apartment, a party crasher is chased out of the door who lands upon a vomit in the chest of Jordon himself.

"Oh boy." said Anthea as Jordon throws him down with a slam and tosses him off "Disgusting piece of s**t! this was my favourite jacket!" yelled Jordon. "Oosh... that's bad, and smelly, by the way, did you really have to hit him that way?" asked Anthea.

"Won't you give him a smack if he landed a vomit on you?" asked Jordon as he opens the door, with the key. "Fair point, and speaking of.. did you.." said Anthea as Jordon opens the door, only to get himself clutched at trigger point by a gun on the other end as the light reveals itself to be a redheaded russian woman. "Greetings Jordon, such a long time." said the Russian woman.

"Vera, long time so see." said Jordon. "Sorry, who?" asked Anthea as Jordon tries to land a counter on her and instead she pulls him back onto a gripping hold while Anthea stands shocked onto the corner of the entrance.

"Hmmm. disappointed, I thought you'd be alone, wait, is that vomit, ewww! gross!" said Vera who takes out her hand in disgust while Jordon looks towards Anthea before setting off to fight Vera.

"Anthea, run!" yelled Jordon as he continues to fight Vera while Anthea races down backwards directly onto the crowd to lose trail.

As soon as she was on it, the neon lights blooming around the place sends of a vibe so peculiar, it draws the attention of everyone towards Anthea while she sprints across the hall, and accidentally lands into a body of a muscular shirtless guy.

"Ooh, watch out gorgeous." said the shirtless guy as Anthea removes herself from his sweaty body.

"Sorry, i have to go." said Anthea while she departs, only to get grabbed by the very same i***t who holds down her arm tight. "And where do you think you're going? you're not done yet." said the shirtless guy.

"Let me go!" yelled Anthea just as Vera arrives onto the scene after a intense run and a gasping breath.

"I'm not leaving a juicy fruit without tasting it." said the disgusting creep while his friends attempt to surround her, but within seconds Vera aims on her pistol and fires down directly at the skull of the creep before his face could land towards Anthea.

"What the.." asked another creep in shock while Vera winks upon them one last time before loading in her rifle and fires off at every single one of them except for Anthea who dives for cover.

Screams and blood and gore of the victims are heard all over the place, with the sudden party turned bloodbath by Vera, who not only fights them with her guns, but also mashes out a few of them using her very own, customizable made melee weapons.
