Chapter Four
Gene got into the hover car and drove off. Hatred for Harry raced in veins; it actually made him want to drive faster and faster. All he could think about was Melfina. He wanted her back and he would do anything to get her back.
He arrived at the warehouse and got out of his car. He looked over the worn down building and went to the entrance. He opened the door and saw Melfina, who was tied to a chair and looked like she was alone. He ran towards her and realized she was sleeping.
"Melfina," he whispered, placing his hand on her cheek. "Wake up, Melfina."
Her eyes fluttered open and smile when she saw Gene. "I knew you would come," she said in a soft voice.
"Are you alright? Did he hurt you?" he asked.
"Yeah, he hurt me by bringing me here," she replied, and scanned the abandoned warehouse. "Harry and Ron are surely hiding somewhere in here. So please be careful."
He smiled and kissed her forehead. "I promise I will," he said, and went around to untie her.
Soon, he untied her hands and her feet. She stood up and wrapped her arms tightly around him. "I missed you so much," she said, with little tears flowing down her face.
"I missed you too. I'm just glad you're alright," he said.
She held onto him like she was trying to hold onto the world. He was the world to her and no one could ever change that.
"Well, if it isn't Gene Starwind," a voice said. "I welcome you to our little hideout. And I see you've already found Melfina."
They let go of each other and turned to the voice. "Harry," Melfina said, in a trembling voice.
"Melfina my love, come over here," Harry said.
"She will not come anywhere near you," Gene said, holding onto her hand.
"I think she will change her mind about that, Gene," he said, and held up a gun and pointed it towards Gene. "Now, what do you say, Melfina?"
She took a deep breath and looked up at Gene. "I'm sorry," she whispered, and began to walk towards Harry.
"Melfina, don't," Gene said, but she kept on walking.
Harry grabbed her arm and kept the gun steady, aiming at him. "I see you finally lost," he remarked. He turned and started to walk with her.
Gene quickly lifted his gun and pointed it to the back of Harry. "Don't move," he said, and clicked the gun.
"No Gene, you don't move," he said, and turned around. He had the gun pointed to Melfina's back.
Gene looked into her eyes and lowered his gun. He couldn't risk her getting hurt. He dropped the gun and kicked it to the side. "Melfina, I'm sorry," he said, and stared at her.
She looked at him with tears drowning her eyes. "Gene, I love you," she said, and closed her eyes. She could feel he gun pressing to the middle of her back. She knew she had to do something. She took one look at Gene and took a deep breath. She turned to Harry and quickly pushed the gun away. She punched him and then grabbed the gun from his hand. She backed away and held the gun to her side. "I'm sorry," she said, and turned to Gene, who was held back by Ron.
"Melfina, I never knew that you were so aggressive," Ron said. "Did you, Gene?"
Gene gave him a mean look and then looked back at Melfina. "Run, Melfina," he said. "Get away from here!"
She shook her head and swallowed. "I can't leave you, Gene," she said. "I won't leave you."
"She is as brave as you," Ron said to Gene. "Melfina, please drop the gun or I will get rid of your boyfriend here."
She closed her eyes and dropped the gun. "I dropped it, now let him go," she demanded. "Please."
"Courageous and yet so polite," Ron said, and pushed Gene to the ground. "Alright, now that I let go of him, I want you in return. My brother is quite found of you, Melfina and if I let you go, he will be depressed."
"Never," she said.
"Wrong answer," he said, and Harry jumped up behind her and held onto her. "Finally, you've gotten up."
"Gene!" She shouted.
"Let's go," Harry said, and pulled her away into the darkness.
Gene stood up and tried to run after her. "Melfina!" He shouted, but stopped when he heard a gun click behind him.
"I think that would be a bad idea," Ron said, holding up a gun. "Don't move or I'll shoot."
"Leave Melfina out of this," Gene said. "This fight is with me, not her."
"But, you are forgetting about my brother," he said. "He rather like her and I will not ruin that."
The top floor of he warehouse…
Melfina sat on the floor and Harry stood by the door, watching for intruders. She cried in her hands. She wanted to be back with Gene, back in his arms, not here with Harry.
"Don't cry, it will be alright," he assured. "I would never hurt you."
"I don't care," she said. "I don't like you that way, Harry. Don't you understand? I don't love you."
"I can change that," he said. "You will love me in the end."
She turned away and cried even more. Her heart broke into a million pieces in her chest. She looked out the window and noticed the rain poring down. She closed her eyes and wished she could be out there with Gene, but that couldn't happen.
"Hey, psst," a voice echoed.
She looked around the room from where it was coming from and saw the vent. She looked back at Harry, who was concentrating on the hallway, so she moved over, closer to the vent.
"Hello?" she said, looking through the vent.
"Melfina, it's alright," the voice assured. "It's me, Jim."
"Jim, thank God!" She said, with relief.
"Aisha and Suzuka are downstairs to help Gene," he assured. "Are you alright?"
"Yeah," she replied, and wiped her tears.
"Don't worry, Melfina," he said. "I'll save you."
She nodded and smiled. "Ok," she said. "Thank you."
