Killer From The Future

Three

   "Are you crazy?"  shouted Reon while dodging away.  It turns out that the person who secretly intends to attack him is none other than Viara.  The girl didn't care, she just kept on attacking with an iron rod.

    "Stop it!"  shouted Reon once more.  He immediately grabbed the long piece of iron and pulled it out of Viara's grip.  The action made the girl flinch and almost fell.  Reon immediately threw as far as possible the iron rod which was now in his hand.

     Viara crouched down and hugged her knees while crying.  She felt so disappointed and angry with herself for not being able to take revenge for Vino.

     "Vino, you must be disappointed in me. Vino, I'm sorry. I'm a bad sister. You shouldn't have a sister like me," she said then with a choked up voice.

     "So you're so angry because of your brother, why are you attacking me instead?"  asked Ron.  That man's head lowered, looking at Viara while crossing her arms.

     Viara rushed to her feet.  Her eyes were still glazed over, though she looked angry.

     "All of this happened because of you. My brother... What happened to my brother, it all happened because of you!"  she snapped.

     "How could it be my fault? I wasn't the one who killed your brother!"

     "You ...!"

     "It's true that I wanted to kill your brother. I wanted so badly to kill him, but I've lost the opportunity!"

     Viara is stunned.

"Then who are they? Why are they after my brother?"

     "How would I know? Those people, I don't even know them. Maybe they, like me, also have a deep grudge against your brother!"

     "That's impossible. My brother is a good person!"

    "Then why do so many people want to kill him?"

    Viara froze.  She felt this way when she found out about Vino, but it turned out that there might be something she never knew.

     "How is the result?"  asked the man who gave Aldrich and Reon the task.

     "Sorry Mr Anderson, we haven't been able to reach them yet. But they are the best, they will definitely make it," replied another man who was younger.

     The man who was called Mr. Anderson stood up from his seat holding the stick in his hand tightly.  A smile appeared on his wrinkled face.

     "If there is a problem, then we should find a way to eliminate them," he said while patting the shoulder of the man in front of him.

     Reon and Viara sat quietly in the car looking out at the open sea.  The waves were still rolling, although not as high as before.  The sun is also getting brighter and brighter.

     Viara couldn't stop thinking after hearing what Reon had told her.  The man seemed to be reading a fairy tale to her.

     "So you're from the future?"  asked the girl after Reon stopped talking.

     "That's right, Aldrich and I to be precise. We were assigned to kill your brother."

     Viara snorted loudly.

"You expect me to believe that? It's all just your madness. Things like time travel couldn't exist. Even if it were from the future, my brother couldn't be the one who caused the deaths of so many people!"

     Ron turned and glared at the girl.

"If your brother is a good person, why did those people kill him?"

     "Maybe they are crazy like you!"  said Viara in a fiery tone.  Her teary eyes returned to stare back at Reon.

     "You i***t. All of this has shown that your brother is not a good person. What kind of good person do so many people want to kill?"

     "It's enough!"  Viara snapped while tightly squeezing her ears.  The sobs of the sedan were getting louder and clearer.

     "You'd better start accepting the fact that your brother is a bad person," Reon muttered.  Viara didn't answer, she was still crying.  Feelings of unwillingness because his brother was considered a criminal continued to rage within her.

      Reon no longer spoke.  The man's eyes stared straight ahead.  The sound of a car roaring alerted him.  Not just one, but quite a number of approaching cars.

      "Let's get out of here!"  Reon said as he fastened his seat belt.  Viara was still crying regardless of Reon's words.  Reon immediately took off his seat belt and put the seat belt on the girl.

      "Stop crying. We're leaving now!"  Reon shouted again then immediately started the car.

     The metallic black cars immediately chased the car driven by Reon and Viara.

     "Who are they? Why are they after us?"  Viara asked.

     "Looks like they're the same people who killed your brother. They probably want to kill us too!"

     "That's impossible. Why would they do that?"

     "Do you know what your brother did?"

     "I already told you, my brother is innocent. Neither of us committed any crime to deserve to be hunted like this!"

      Reon's right foot stepped on the gas pedal deeper.  The road ahead was winding steeply, but the man still drove fast.  Behind, black cars are also seen following and speeding up.

   "You must really be crazy. Why don't we stop and try talking to them?"  Viara shouted.

   Just as the girl had finished speaking, there were repeated gunshots.  The sound of the rear windshield shattering was loud.

    "You still want to talk to them? They'll kill without asking when they get the chance!"  exclaimed Reon.

    "I really don't understand all this. My life was fine before. Why did things turn out like this?"

    "Nothing is fine if your family is a murderer."

    "Vino is not a murderer!"

    Reon no longer responds as the enemy fires more and more heavily.  One of the bullets then hit the rear tire of Reon's car, causing the car to go out of control.  Viara screamed when she realized the car was speeding down a steep ravine.

    "Open your door and jump right out!"  Reon ordered the girl.  Viara shook her head in horror.

    "If you refuse, then you will die with a broken body. Hurry up and do it now!"

    Viara still looked doubtful.  It had crossed her mind that maybe this was for the best, if death came, then she would be able to meet her parents and brother.  The thought disappeared when Reon opened the door and pushed her out of the still moving car.

     Viara's slender body fell on the rough and rocky ground.  The girl's face then scrunched up in pain when she felt the scratches on her hands.  The whole body also feels sore.  The long jeans she worn are also torn.  It makes the knee also sore from the wound.

     Viara still continued to lie on the ground.  The pain that was whacking all over her body made it seem like she couldn't get up.  She then gasped when she heard a loud bang.

     'Was that our car earlier?  Reon, what happened to him?'  Viara asked herself.

'Is he dead too?'
