His duty is to catch that stupid gang of criminals, the one eyed Cyclops, even though they weren't worth much, only 19,000 wul long for the whole gang.
His partner, Ray, just tag along just for fun. He always wanted to be a bounty hunter, but his father owns a multibillion company, that didn't allow such thing. His father said any related to criminal activities will bring big misfortune to the company.
Ray runaway from home simply he hated being rich. Ray loved to be one of those guy who's all for fun and full of adventures. He wanted to tell his unborn grandson, about all the interesting stories that his grandpa always tells about his ancestors.
"Did ya get any whereabouts?" said John while getting sand out of the eyes.
"Yeah, they gonna attack in Mulberry, a small village, but that just rumors talking." said Ray, while getting the bread down his throat.
"Mulberry, heh, we're going there," said John, "So what are we gonna do with the other two members."
"Umm, send it to the police."
"Nah, I want to do something to them when we get the whole pack."
"Sure, so whatcha gonna do?"
"It will be a surprise."
"Whatever man, man you need get out, your freakin pale."
"I haven't been feelin well, ya know."
"Yeah."
They laughed; it's another inside joke they made up when they first met. John went back to sleep and Ray just changed the course to mulberry, it not that far away. It something about Mars, which made them, stayed around the premises. It's probably cause of its name, the god of war. It's a war over there alright, most criminal comes there. Too many bloodshed, John said once.
When they got to Mulberry, it's the same old stuff, asking questions and trying to spot one. The cops don't know much about the gang, not a lot people know the gang at all.
You tell a guy is in the one eyed Cyclops, they all have the one eyed and their huge.
"Did ya heard of the rumor about the gang, one eyed Cyclops?" said Ray, talking to a woman.
John suddenly chases some one.
"Yeah I heard the rumor, alright, that why I chasing them down," said the woman.
"Hey John, do ya wanna her to, what the hell," said Ray.
"I think he went that way," said to the woman, pointing to the direction John went.
Ray suddenly ran trying to find his partner.
"Oh fuck, where the hell did he go?"
Ray gave up on running, breathless. He went to the ship and watches some TV shows.
I wonder where he went.
John came back from the ship.
"Ray, Let go." said John.
"Where the hell were you?" said Ray, while getting off the couch and Ray turned off the TV.
"Chasing after gang member," said John.
"I guess he out run ya."
"Yea."
Ray can see the lies in John eyes, but he knows not to interfere with it. He knows that nothing is right, something is definitely wrong, there is a bigger picture going on and he only seen the piece of the puzzle.
They slowly pull their gun up and raise it up close to their chin and got out the ship.
"I think no ones here," said Ray
"Just stay here," said John.
John hurried off, well Ray doesn't know. Ray just sat down and said desperately," I wonder where he went off."
Don't smoke, that what his dad always said. He just pulled a cigarette and put it to his mouth. Everybody hates waiting.
Son, there's reason why I won't and never let you go outside, out to that dessert. When you're a young man then I'll tell you the horrors. "It's a joke; the outside world ain't that bad. Damn, I have an overprotective father," quietly said Ray.
Shadows move in the parking lot, it's damn dark to see. Ray was focus on that shadows, until she saw the woman, the same woman that he earlier.
"Heh, so you lost your partner again," said the woman.
"Nah, He said he'll come back," lying to his very own face.
"So you don't know, I think I saw his once."
"Maybe, I don't really know him that long."
"I see, I forgot, my name is Elise."
"Oh, my name is… Ray,"
Elise reminded him his own sister, Louise for they have the same way they put their hair, curls in a ponytail. They weren't really close, but she probably is worrying now. All these thoughts made him homesick, then again, he was having best times of his life.
John came back, with a guy all tied up. They screamed; get me out and other craps they'll usually say.
"You did that all by yourself?" said Ray with disbelief.
"No, are you crazy, I got some help," said John.
"How? Who?" said Elise.
"I don't want to tell and who the heck she anyway." said John, going into the ship.
"Oh, she's Elise, she also wants to track the gang down," said Ray.
"I don't really need help right now, maybe later," said, John.
"Nice time meeting ya. Y'all may need my help later," said Elise as she walked away.
"What the matter?" said Ray walking into the ship.
"I tell ya later, I really just some alone time, k," said John.
"Alright, I just tied them up with the other gang member," said Ray walking to the heater room.
"Put them somewhere else," said John and pushed the button. Ray guessed he went to sleep.
Something ain't right.
An angel came one night to turn this sorry boy to life. Praise, his mother always said about love when Ray hit puberty and his dream that very night. Every times her mother said it; He gets embarrassed by the simple words of poetry. Ray being homesick have been his overall concern, he doesn't know what would happen if he came back either.
"Hey, were their any fights yet?" said Ray.
"Yeah, but there's gonna be another one, tonight also. Maybe can ya bring your lady friend ya met," said John.
"So, what happen?" said Ray.
"Do ya ever felt some one lift you up to the sky, but as life goes, they some how drop ya down?" said John.
"Not really, why?"
"Maybe when you found her, you'll understand."
"My mom always said an angel came one night to turn this sorry boy to life. I always guess she said it because of my grandma."
"I get it, I met this girl how time ago after my father death."
"So how she's like?"
"She was beautiful, but aren't all two love birds said that."
"heh, yea, I guess."
"My father death is the reason why I chase after the One Eyed Cyclops. She always said; just forget about it, revenge won't do you good."
"Yeah, but it just be hard."
"I can't forget something I won't let go. That my problem, sometimes I don't want this end because it's the only thing I know, it's my whole life dream."
"Yea, I see," said Ray, while thinking in the pass.
"It's so hard, I tried, but only way to make it stop if made that dream come true."
"Maybe you can become bounty hunter."
"No, I sick of it."
"Just think while you're ahead."
They left to the abandon church that burn to the ground. The fire have burned these soul, their body still alive to feel the emptiness of the stories, they once believe it's true. The cravings were hard to see, but they all have meaning.
I'll rest till the noon of hope comes or may I be waiting for eternal redemption.
"Why here, this is where there gonna attack, the same place where my father died," said John.
"They gonna be religious people aren't they?" said Ray.
"Yeah, even though I ever been taught the religion, but I'll will afterwards."
"It's about god and how that supernatural being created life. I was never been a believer."
"Heh, we await at that block."
They walked and sat down.
"You know something," said a mysterious voice.
"Now about what?" said John.
"The Cyclops attack," said the voice, "Come on look back."
Only Ray looked back, it was Elise.
"It's Elise," said Ray.
"Oh, she can stay, the more the merrier." said John.
It was quiet for that moment, the awkward feeling. The guts said don't do it, it's suicide. There's no reason why, just turn around.
The night took over the day; the whole world seems to change.
"It's time," said John.
Ray and John rushed to the church, Elise hesitated. That girl is full of talk. Gun bangs and revenge, I have to say, that what he said.
Ray saw the bullet go through his very own partner, his friend. He rushed over there with a gun shot here and there.
"Please revenge him and me," said John
"K," said Ray as shooting the gang.
"Shit, don't die." Ray keeps on shooting till every one dead, and then he noticed John was missing.
The Houdini's great escape how does he ever does it!
