Hello, everyone. English is not my first language, so be easy on me. Please review if you have time, all feedback are appreciated.
Have a nice day.
"Lou, I lost visual of Steve." Danny spoke as he held to his earpiece.
"What? He was right in front of you." Lou's voice came through the earpiece.
"I'm going in."
"Danny, wait for…"
Danny ignored was Lou was saying. "I'm going in, Lou. Steve could be in trouble." Danny stressed before stepping into the old factory building without waiting for any reply from Lou. Danny knew what he was doing was pretty stupid based on his own dictionary, but he couldn't wait any longer. He had to get to his friend.
The building was empty. The light in the front flickered, casting a gloomy glow throughout the building, causing shivers to ripple across Danny's body. Danny stepped further into the building as he drew his weapon from his holster. Holding his gun up, he walked slowly and quietly in.
The light began to fade as he was nearing an open space. Danny surveyed the area in front of him from as he hid behind a wall. His heart was pounding in his chest, but he tried to ignore it and slow his breathing.
Danny had to admit, he was scared, so scared.
In the distance Steve was on his knees with his hands were tied on his back. Steve was injured, blood seeping out from wounds that covered his body. Two big, muscular men were standing by his side. Danny gritted his teeth in anger.
Danny looked at the third man squatting in front of Steve with his back faced Danny. His body structure looked familiar, but Danny couldn't recall where he had seen him before.
The third man used the edge of the knife he was holding to lift Steve's chin. He wanted Steve's eyes to meet his.
"Answer me," the man said. "Where is he?"
Steve chuckled a little despite the pain. "Do whatever you want. Kill me, torture me. You will not get anything from me."
The man, boiling in anger, slid the knife along Steve's chest, drawing some blood. "It's okay, I know he will come for you."
What Danny was seeing in front of him was only fueling the fire that burned inside of him.
"Come out, Detective Williams. It's you that I want." The third man said as he stood up and whirled around.
Danny was unable to process the images it was being sent by his eyes. He looked away, then looked back to see if it was still there. It was. Danny could clearly see the third man.
Marco Reyes.
How is it even possible?
With an evil smile playing on his lips, Marco taunted, "I know you're in the building, Williams. Come forward. I'm sure you don't want me to kill another brother of yours."
Danny remained stagnant.
Marco walked slowly and stood behind Steve. He grazed the knife slowly along Steve's neck, drawing a thin red line. "We don't have time to play hide and seek here, Williams."
"Danny, don't do it." Steve coughed.
Suddenly, Marco held Steve's head firmly with his right hand and held the knife with his other hand. He place the knife on Steve's throat. "I can cut the carotid artery and your beloved brother here will be dead in few minutes or he can walk away alive if you step forward."
Danny didn't know what was going on but without giving any time for second thoughts, Danny stepped forward with the gun still in his hand. "Let him go."
"Detective Williams," Marco smirked. "Aren't you surprised to see me?"
Danny chose silent over that particular question. "It's me that you want. Let Steve go." Danny could see the two other men moving slowly towards him.
Without any warning, Marco slid the knife to the side of Steve's throat causing blood of gush out.
"Nooo." Danny screamed as he ran towards Steve who has collapsed to the ground.
One of the men swung his leg towards Danny and Danny's knees buckled as he collapsed to the ground. Danny heard footsteps as he rolled over. It was blur at first, then Danny could see Marco standing over him. The evil monster smiled down from behind his gun before he pulled the trigger.
Stay tuned for more. Thank you for your time and support.
