*Benny's POV*
Kostas didn't come back to the trailer that night, so I assumed he found Lia. I was on my own. I tried to look at it as a good thing; Lia was found, and they were in a hotel where nothing bad could happen right?
Even if all this was true, I still couldn't sleep. No, I knew Lia and Kostas would be fine; they were safe. It was...Rafi. I wanted him more than anything. I missed him, and I wanted to see him again. Something made me want to leave the trailer. It was as if there were a magnetic force, pulling me outside. Could Raf be nearby?
I got out of bed, and slid on my shoes. Since there was nobody else there, I closed the door behind me, but not as quietly. At a fast pace, I started off towards the city on a search for Rafi.
*Rafi's POV*
I was in the city, and I was really tired from the walking around I did. Nearby, there was an alley that looked good and safe enough to sleep in for the night. I decided to stop there, since I was running out of energy, and I was absolutely fighting to keep my eyes opened.
Curling up in the corner of the dump, I was watching the cars pass, waiting for my eyelids to close. For some reason, they just wouldn't; as if I wasn't tired. But I was tired! I wanted to go to sleep so badly!
A random bubble of fear rose in my stomach. I don't know why, though. Nothing was even happe-
The last guard smoothly walked his way into the alley. "So, if it isn't Rafi Fine," he snarled. I started shivering, but tried to conceal the fact that I was scared. "In case you were wondering, yes, I am the one who left you in that parking space," he continued. "And I won't let you leave here. Ever. After I'm through with you, Benny will never find you." I opened my mouth to object, but the guard threw a rock at my mouth. A bruised feeling shot through my lower lip, and into my jaw. But then the guy punched me in the eye, and kicked me in the jaw. I tried my absolute hardest to get up so I could make a break for it, but I just couldn't; it took all the strength I didn't have.
Just as I thought the guy was done beating on me, he picked up a brick, and threw it at my chest. The corner of it hit me, and the wind immediately left me as I gasped desperately for air. The guard found a lead pipe, and hit me atop the head with it. A numb feeling started at the top of my skull, traveled down my spine, and soaked into my entire body. After a second or two, the numbness turned to a screaming pain.
The guard pulled something out of his pocket. My blur vision adjusted, and I saw exactly what it was...
It was a gun. He was planning on shooting me.
"You wouldn't!," I gasped. "Youwouldn'tyouwouldn'tyouwouldn'tyouwouldn't!" The guard smirked. "Oh, yes. Yes I would," he grumbled mysteriously. He raised it up, and pulled the trigger.
I think he was aiming for my heart, but I was lucky; he missed, and hit my shoulder. There was blood trickling down my arm, and there was a raging throb rushing up and down it. To make things worse, it began to pour rain.
There wasn't much left of my life, I could definitely tell. I hoped that Benny would find me soon; he was the one person I really wanted to see before...before...
the end.
