Chapter 14

WARNING: There is some bad language used in this chapter.

"Wat die fok gaan daar aan…" ("What the fuck is going on there?") Pieter blurted out pushing his chair back as he stood up on hearing the sound of muffled gunfire.

"Weet nie maar iets…" ("Don't know but something…") Dirk replied also rising and both of them making for the door.

"Kom van daar af… Johannes and Wicus het gaan na die twee kyk…" ("It came from over there… Johannes and Wicus went to check on those two…") Dirk said as he and Pieter rushed towards the building that was being used as a prison for Nate and Sterling.

Just as they arrived at the building Johannes stepped outside with Sterling's motionless body thrown over his shoulder in a fireman's carry.

"Wat gaan hier aan?" (What is going on?") Pieter asked looking from Johannes to Sterling.

"Die fokkers het ons aangeval…" ("These fuckers attacked us…") Johannes replied stepping further out allowing Wicus step out and stand beside him. Wicus had Nate slung over his shoulder. "Ons het nie a keuse gehad nie…" ("We did not have an option…")

Pieter and Dirk looked at each other both grimacing. They had been told to watch over the two American men until their boss Johnathan Derby came, he had personally wanted to take care of them, making them suffer before ending their lives.

"Wat die hel man…hy gaan moer kwaad wees…" ("What the hell man…he is going to be very angry…") Pieter said a heavy frown on his face.

"What the hell were we supposed to do…let them kill us?" Wicus asked?

"When he gets here you might just wish they had." Dirk scowled at him. "Where you taking them?"

"Thought we would get rid of the bodies…" Johannes said.

Pieter growled. "Jy het gedink? Nee wat Johannes julle dink nie! Hy gaan die lyke will sien. Hy gaan dink ons he hulle laat ontsnap of iets as ons nie hulle lyke kan wys nie!" ("You thought? No Johannes you two did not think. He is going to want to see the bodies. He is going to think we let them escape if we can't show him their bodies!")

"Look we don't know when he is going to get here and I'll be damned if I am going to let these two stink up the place." Johannes growled back. "Now he left me in charge and I'll take the heat, get back to what you two were supposed to be doing and Wicus and I will take care of the trash. I want everything in place when I get back, that shipment is arriving in less than two hours."

Pieter snorted in disgust and turned away.

"Ek is bly ek is nie julle twee nie…" ("I'm glad I'm not you two.") Dirk said then turned and followed Pieter back to where they came from.

Johannes turned to Wicus and nodded. Both men walked to their bakkie that was standing a few meters away and carefully loaded the two men inside with Wicus climbing in the back seat with them. Johannes then got in and started the car up.

"Iet's is nie lekker nie…" ("Something is not right.") Pieter said watching the two men load the bodies into the car and Wicus climb into the back.

Dirk nodded agreement also watching. Both men were sure something was out of place but could not put their fingers on it. All they knew was that their boss was going to be very angry at this turn of events and that despite Johannes saying he will take the heat they were all going to pay.

"Very nicely done gents." Nate said his gun still firmly pressed into the side of the younger man.

"Julle gaan boet." ("You are going to pay.") Johannes growled out.

"Later." Nate smiled. "For now let's just drive shall we?"

Thought I would give you a glimpse into what is happening with Nate… sorry such a short chapter, lots more to come. Hope you are all still enjoying.
