"Do you know them?" He questioned
"Yeah. Most especially the one you almost fought with"
"I didn't want to fight with him"
"Your words kind of sounded like"
He sighs looking away then back at her "I wouldn't fight him. I'll kill him"
She became speechless
"By the way, I need you to be careful. They're not good guys"
"And how do you know that?"
He shoved his hands into his black jeans looking down into her eyes with his height hovering over her small self.
"I always have instincts. And they never lie"
She bit her bottom lip "What did you mean when you told him to get scared?"
He shakes his head at her thoughts. However, decided to turn her words "What do you think I meant?"
She slightly frowns knowing full well it may not be what she's thinking of.
"You don't get to ask my question"
"Fair enough" he responded as they stared into one another's breath taken eyes.
...
All through, Amanda seemed nervous and confused about why he kept saying “one of us”
She didn't know of this hidden g**g or group of young intellectual and courageous guys guarding their school.
“I know this is weird for you but trust me I am blank on what is truly going on. At least I understand we-” he didn’t complete his words so
She rolled her head towards him.
She didn’t bother asking understanding he won't complete his statement. She looked ahead silently.
“Thanks for trusting me. And I promise you won’t regret it. I’m going to take you home ok” he said and she nodded slowly.
Within 6Km, they were blocked on the way by a group of men. Rex stopped the car at once.
“What’s going on?” Amanda questions in fear.
Rex looked at her for a moment then ordered “No matter what don’t leave the car”
After saying that he hoped out “W-wait…” she tried to stop him but he was already gone.
Watching from within, she nervously thought of calling the cops. But later on, something told her not to.
Rex landed before five huge men “May I know why you’re blocked my passage?” talking specifically to their leader which he knows so well.
“Finally I get to meet you personally. It’s quite unfortunate you crossed boundaries” their leader responded while was Rex studying all of them carefully before replying
“You mean you crossed boundaries by uninvitedly sending your boys to our school party”
Their leader was speechless for some time then said
“I guess that’s fair”
“Exactly. Now order your boys to give way” Rex commanded
Their leader smiled mischievously then looked past him to where his car was packed.
They knew they could do him no harm. However, they introduced something he will disagree with. with us so that, they can proceed with their plan.
“Who is the lady in your car?”
“She’s not your business” he responded coldly.
Their leader smirked then said “Well, now she becomes my business”
Rex clenched his jaw
“Send her over” he ordered
“You know that’s never going to happen”
His boys came forward to attack but were stopped by their boss.
“We can peacefully do this. It’s left for you to decide”
Rex looked at them for some time before responding
“Ok. Give me a minute”
Their leader was bewildered by his response while Rex walked back to his car.
Amanda ended up dialing the cops but didn't call them. When Rex came close to her he bent over and asked.
“Can you drive fast?”
She became incapable of responding “W-why are you asking me that?”
“I need you to shift to the driver's seat. I’m going to do something scary but trust me, I’ll be fine. When you see the road clear, just take off” he instructed.
“Rex… I’m not leaving you”
“No one said you’re leaving me. Just do as I say. And make sure you switch side when you see me coming”
With that being said, she took position and he strolled off. Due to the panic, she erroneously tapped the call button of the police.
She kept her head straight and breath out gently to impose her nervousness to steadiness, while Rex walked ahead, strategizing with his eyes towards them.
“Why the hell is she in the driver’s seat?” their leader questioned
“I ordered her to” Rex retorted standing boldly in their presence.
“This is your last chance to make this right. It’s either we get the girl, or we get both of you”
“Good luck with that”
Their leader became horrific by his courage which got him annoyed. He ordered his boys to take action. However, before they made a step, he made a thousand steps.
He gripped two fisted hands which were about to blow him off and dislocated them then crossed his leg at the back of one of theirs and sprung his knee bone falling him to the ground, followed by his complicit.
The others became scared to come closer due to how rapid he was in the process.
