Kuching~~















Its been awhile since I've updated my blog with pictures, well as you can see I went to Kuching recently and stayed for a night. While my sis went to work I went for a stroll around town on my own, had lotsa fun doing so. The people were nice and majority of the people there spoke english and chinese. Quite few that I came across that day spoke malay. To me, its a mini K.K. The streets are safe, no pilaks. Oh yeah~ 

I did not get to try all the food there for I only had one night, but my two friends brought me to the recommended restaurant in Kuching which is the ayam penyet, nearby the river majestic hotel. The nightlife over there, is similar to K.K. Their X'mas decorations are awesome, they made a mini 18th century or is it 19th century street in one of the malls. Overall, had a great time there, and hope to visit more places on my next visit one day.

Sweeper ( Based On The Original City Hunter)


Two black colored Mercedes Benz speeds up on the highway, it beats the red lights as it enters the city, authorities were in no condition into chasing them. They backed away. The front car filled with five men with black suits including the driver, the second car filled with four men with black suit and one with a brown suit and pants.

“Speed this up,” said the man in the brown suit calmly.
“Yes sir,” said the driver.

In a famous university located in the city, a lady in the laboratory can be seen working on some kind of formula with an elderly man who is the professor of the university.

“We’re closed to a break through.”
“Yes we are, but more work still need to be done, we are missing a few things professor,” said the lady.

“Whatever it is keep on going.” the professor gives the lady a pat on the back “I’m gonna grab a smoke, I’ll be right back.” The professor goes to the balcony for a smoke, the professor is a sixty year old with a lungs filled with tar. He coughs and coughs as he breath the fire out of his lungs. He sees two black Mercedes pull up on the entrance of the university, men from the first and second car came out with guns. How they were able to pass tight security was a mystery to him. The professor made his way back to the lab. “ Professor I’m heading to the loo, watch these after for a moment,” said the lady. “sure thing,” the professor answers as he rushes to her side and slipped in the already bottled formula into her lab coat pocket.

The men from the black Mercedes enters the lab as soon as the lady enters the washroom. The men aims their guns towards the professor, a man the brown suit enters after.

“ So~ where is it?” the man in the brown suit asks as he takes his gun out and points it at the professor’s head.

“ Where’s what?” answers the professor.

“ Look, don’t be fucking stupid with me. I do not want to play any of your fucking mind games. Now, where is it? I am asking you nicely.”

“ You’re going to shoot me anyways, why do you even want it?”
“ I told you to make it, that’ll be the only reason why I want it,” the lady on her way back from the washroom hid by the sides where she can’t be seen and gasped as she heard what she was not supposed to hear.”

“What was that?” ask the man in the brown suit. “There’s someone else here?”
“No there isn’t, my assistant took a year off.”
“Bullshit, find her!!” orders the man in the brown suit. Two of his henchmen went to have a look around.

“Listen, tell me where it is.”
“Why should I fucking tell you?” answers the professor aggressively.
“When she is found, I myself am going to squeeze the trigger onto her head and I am going to need some dry cleaning. Where is the FUCKING FORMULA!!??”

 The men were nearing the area where the lady was hiding, she grabs the fire extinguisher and fire it facing both of the men searching for her. The situation caught the attention of the everyone, the professor struggled with the man in the brown suit.

“RUNNN!!!! KATELYNN!!! RRRUNNNN!!!!” the professor failed and the gun fired killing him instantly.
“ FUCKKk!!! GET HERRR!!! The man in the brown suit angers.

Katelynn kept on running despite being shot at and not getting a single bullet into her flesh. She reaches the nearby elevator, and got in as soon as its doors opens. She breathes heavily, still being in shock after witnessing what has transpired.

Few days passed, in a loft located in a city, a man can be seen washing the dishes. He seeks his friend at the same time that was nowhere to be found.

“Roy!! Roy!! Where you at? You awake?” the man does not get any replies. As he finishes, he makes his way to Roy’s room. He sees Roy with a binoculars, smiling, looking into the building opposite upon entering.

“Roy, did you get the job done yet?”
“Be with you in a minute Rob,” says it with a big smile on his face giggling.
“Give me the binoculars,” Frank snatches the binoculars from Roy and figures out what he was looking at all along. “ Hmm, I am guessing~~ a young voluptuous girl doing aerobics,” Frank guessed.

“ABSOLUTELY!!!! Firm breats, round butt!! Woohooo!!!” Roy explains. Frank passes a rifle sniper to Roy.

Frank sighs, “ Get the job done Roy. For now, I’ll confiscate this,” Frank refers to the binoculars.
“Hey!! No fair!! Owh!!” Roy grumbles. Roy scopes five windows to the left of the one with the girl doing her aerobics, spots a beer belly man in his late fifties, cleaning a large size gem. Almost the size of a pineapple. Roy takes aim and open fires. The gem breaks into pieces and got the man shocked and looks around his apartment wondering what has happened.

“hmmph, easyy~,” Roy says it with a smile. As he scopes back to the window with the girl doing her aerobics, it was replace by a not good looking over muscular woman doing weights. “Ewwww~ nightmares tonight,” he makes his way out of the room.

“Frankk~~ breakfast~~~???” Roy asks as he walks towards Frank who is sits at the dining table.
“Make your own, you were late.”
“Why must you take the fun out of everything??” Roy inquires.
“No I was not.” Frank takes out a note book and hands Roy a picture of a beautiful looking girl.
“Woowo~ who is this hottie??”
“Roy, that’s our job.”
“I won’t let you down, I will satisfy her.”
“No, not that kind. She wrote to us today.”
“She did huh?”
“Went to the train station earlier, X.Y.Z was what she posted on the bulletin board.”
“What’s the deal?”
“Don’t know yet, here this is her number,” Frank hands a memo with the girl’s cell number on it. “Make the arrangements.”

“Got it.” Roy answers as Frank makes his way to the kitchen.
“Oh, one more thing. My sister will be staying with us.”
“When did she arrive?” Roy asks.
“Yesterday morning.”
“How long will she be staying.”
“Forever perhaps~~ Anyway, don’t you try anything silly.” Frank did not get any respond. “Roy? You heard what I said? Roy!??”  Frank walks back to the dining table and did not see Roy around either. He noticed his sister’s room door was opened, Roy is inside going through her wardrobe. Her lingerie, sniffing it. Playing around with it.

“Roy.” Frank calls Roy out with a sigh.
“Yes?” Roy answers with a smiley and happy face.
“Get to work and out of this room,” Frank snatches the lingerie away and puts it back into place and pushes Roy out.

It is a normal afternoon on the streets of Boston. People are walking around, business as usual. At a fancy restaurant, Katelynn sits at the table at the corner of the restaurant, she sips her coffee repeatedly, waiting anxiously.

“You must be Katelynn,” a man approaches her.
“Who wants to know?” she response.
“Good answer. Confuses the people who are after you.”
“I’m sorry, you must be…”
“Roy, the city hunter.”
“Yes, we spoke on the phone,” Katelynn states.
Roy takes a seat next to her.

“What can I do for you pretty lady?”
“Katelynn blushes. Mind you manners,” Katelynn warns.
“My bad,” Roy giggles.
“There are people after me. Can you protect me?”
“Of course~ Of course a lot of people are after you, men especially. Because you are a very beautiful girl.” Roy giggles.

“Oh brother~~,” Katelynn sighs. Katelynn realizes Roy’s hand was on her thigh.
“Mr. Roy.”
“Yes dear??”
“Why is your hand on my thigh?”
“Oh this~~ this~~ is what we call an accident.. hahaha.” Roy was slapped hard in the face. Katelynn decides to walk away.

“I’ve made a mistake. Asking a pervert to protect me.”
“Wait!! Wwaitt!!” Roy requested. Katelynn walks out of the restaurant, she got hold up by four men in a suit and was brought to the nearby parking lot.

“Get in the car!!” says the man behind her who has the gun towards her lower back.
“No way!!”
“I don’t think you see who has the upper hand here.” Says the man in the suit. From behind, a gun nozzle rests upon the back of the man in the suit’s head.

“I suggest you put you better put your gun down,” says a mysterious figure from behind.
“What!?” the man in the suit was in shocked.
“Roy!” Katelynn exclaims.

The three other men got into position and drew out their gun.

“I don’t think you got it here boy! You do not have the upper hand.” The man in the suit explains.

Roy then pushes the man forward, making him fall front wards onto the ground. The three other men stalled for a moment. Roy grabs Katelynn and took cover behind a pillar.

“What are you assholes waiting for!!!?? SHOOT THEM!!!” instructs the man in the suit. As the gang opens fire, Roy and Katelynn took cover behind a pillar. Roy began firing back as the men stopped to reload, Roy was able to unarmed them by shooting at their weapons. One man got knee-cap. After the shooting subsides, the men realizes they were overpowered, and took off in their car.

“Roy!!” Katelynn cries of joy and hugs Roy.
“Everything is ok now. You’re safe.” Katelynn couldn’t stop crying due to being relieved. Roy took Katelynn to a nearby park, he brought her to a certain part of the park where it was quiet and secluded.

“Ok, now that we’re alone. Tell me what is going on? You call us to protect you, from those people. You pissed them off or something?” Roy inquires.

“It all started with my professor and this friend of his. They both are scientist, that day we somehow were able to create a formula to get a cure. A cure for AIDS.”

“That means I can have lots of un-protected sex,” Roy monologues and smiles pervertedly.
“What did you say?”
“Owh nothing Katelynn, continue your story.” Roy laughs
“So my professor’s friend joined the gang, thinking he could make more money to finance the experiment. But, as he took over the gang, he changed. He wants to use AIDS as a weapon.”

“A weapon?”
“Release it somehow in a way, people get infected, and he will be the only one with the cure, he rules the roast. The world. Then so here I am, running.”

Roy sighs “ this is heavy. You can’t just wonder around like you usually do anymore. Look, stay at my place where I can keep my eyes on you twenty four seven.”

“And get you creeping into my blanket at night too?” Katelynn inquires.
Roy laughs “ No~ no~,” Roy continues to laugh.
“No, I need to finish the formula first, I’ve got all what I need at my apartment. We’ll stay there for the night.”
“But it could be dangerous.”
“You’re the bodyguard. So, do your job.”
“Alright, alright,” Says Roy.

Katelynn got to work as soon as they arrived in her apartment. The apartment is a open concept bedroom apartment, stove, living room, dining room all in one place. Roy takes off his shirt and lays on the bed.

“C’mon Katelynn, come lie with me. Have a break,” Roy asks.
“I’m busy. Working.” Roy tries to touch Katelynn’s butt. His hand got slapped as soon as she realizes it.

“Ouchh!”
“Serve you right.”
“Oh man~ what am I going to do for now?” Roy wonders. “ Guess will turn on the TV.” Roy turns on the TV, coincidently the channel he tune in to when the TV was turned on, has a show on women doing aerobics in their sexy aerobics outfit.

“WWoooohoo, this is good~~~,” Roy became happy and starts to emulate the exercise moves from the TV. Lies on his back opening the legs and closing. All Katelynn did when she saw what Roy was doing was just smile of amusement.

The man with the suit earlier was on the roof top of the building just opposite Katelynn’s apartment. He can see what is going on in the apartment via binoculars.

“He’s crazy~” as the man in the suit sees Roy doing the aerobics on the bed.

Katelynn continues to work till the early morning. Roy behinds her, observing how she does it.

“It’s done,” says Katelynn.
“Thank god. I’ll help you pack your essentials,” Roy offers. Roy sees a sparkle via the reflection from the mirror near Katelynn’s study. It reflects the building opposite. Roy grabs Katelynn and covered her on the ground as the shooting begins. Roy and Katelynn were pinned down. The both of them got up and ran out the door as the shooting stopped for a few seconds, it continues after.

“Man~ these guys really wants you dead.” Roy states as they hid in the hallway.

They arrived at Roy’s apartment shortly after the shooting, Frank was there awaiting their arrival.

“You must be Katelynn. You’ll be safe here, don’t worry,” Says Frank.
“Thank you.” Katelynn showing her gratitude as Frank shows her to her room.

“She’s in real danger, we got to look out for her,” Roy has a private conversation with Frank as Katelynn gets settled inside her room.


“She’s a walking bullseye,” Says Roy.
“She must have pissed someone off pretty bad,” Frank answers.
“Something like that,” Roy explains Katelynn’s situation. A boy cut haired girl in her mid-twenties enters the apartment with blankets and extra pillows.

“Oh you’re back,” Frank greets.
“Yeah, I hope these are alright,” the girl wonders.
“Yes they are.”
“Who is this boy?” Roy asks.
“BOY!!?? Listen here you wanker, I’m a lady!! You see these?” the girl points to her breast. “But I can kick your ass if I wanted to.”

“Roy meet my sister. Sonia. This is Roy.”
“Oh, I’m sorry I did not know. Nice to finally meet you Roy.”
“My apologies too, I did not see those,” Refers to Sonia’’s breasts. Roy touches them and inspects them. Sonia punches him in the face in the process.

“Perv!!!” Sonia storms off into Katelynn’s room.
Sonia helps Katelynn settle in her room by giving her pillows, blankets and towels. Katelynn looks sad and horrified from the ordeal earlier.

“Are you okay?” Sonia ask.
“I should be alright….”
“Well, you have nothing to worry about now, my brother and Roy and of course myself will take good care of ya,” Sonia assures Katelynn with a smile and light giggle. Not getting a complete respond, she just nods her head as Sonia makes her way out of the room.

“She doing better?” Roy inquires.
“No, she doesn’t look any better,” Sonia answers. “Perhaps I could take her out tomorrow for a stroll, I mean now that she is protected.”

“That’s a big risk, can you at least shoot a gun?” Roy being sarcastic.
“What do you take me for? Of course I can.”
“So be it, Sonia you take her out tomorrow, Roy will be behind guarding you two always. That should change her mood.” Says Frank.

Roy walks towards Katelynn’s room. “Alright, I shall now take my place in her bed with her. Protecting her,” shows a serious face but with other intentions in mind.

Sonia pulls Roy’s hair, stopping him in his steps painfully. “What was that for?” asks Roy.
“You’re not going to sleep anywhere near her!! I will be sleeping with her, protecting her!! Feel free to sleep on the streets,” Sonia gives Roy a wink as she goes into the room.

“Frank. We have anymore of those bullets?”
“I’ll check it out in the morning.”

Blocks down the streets lies a building tearing through the skies, a penthouse on top of it. A man can be seen drinking his scotch sitting down in front of his fire place.

“Sir,” two men came in.
“What?”
“We were unable to neutralize the target,” one of them speaks.
“And the formula?”
“None of that too.” The man who was drinking the scotch stood up, takes out a gun from underneath the newspaper that was on the coffee table nearby and shot the man next to him.

“Mr. Krast, just give us more time. We will get it.”
“You better not be fucking with me this time!!”

The next morning, Sonia takes Katelynn out for a stroll and shopping to relief her mind of the troubles she encounters. Katelynn feels more confident and braver walking around the streets, she feels happier.

“You seem very happy already. That’s good,” Sonia states.
“well cause I know I am in good hands. Yours and Roy.” Not too far behind them, voices of girls being harassed can be heard.

Sonia sighs. “Yeap, we are in good hands.” Refers to Roy protecting them as he tries to get random girls into bed. Roy hears tires screeching and engines reefing getting louder and closer. The horrible racket came from two cars driving pass the city center, Roy warns Sonia and Katelynn, telling them to get down as he sees guns sticking out of those car windows as they were rolled down. The people from the car started shooting randomly, trying to kill Katelynn. Killing other bystanders in the progress. Roy open fires as Sonia and Katelynn were pinned down, the men in the car realizes Roy and returned fire to him ending up him being pinned down.

“Sonia!! SONIA!!!!!” Roy calls out Sonia.
“WHAT!??”
“You came packing!!??”
“Yeah!”
“FUCKING USE IT!!!!” Sonia found the chance and opened fire from the other side, the men in the car got distracted and Roy found the opening to advance a little closer to protect Sonia and Katelynn. Police sirens can be heard not long after, and the cars turns around aggressively and headed back to where they came from.

“Sonia you okay?” Roy being concern.
“I’m fine. Katelynn doesn’t seem so.” Katelynn has her hands covering her ears, trembling, as if she is about to go into a hysteria.

“She seems to be getting into shock. Let’s head back,” Roy and the girls headed back to the loft, Sonia brings Katelynn into her room. Frank enters the apartment. “I heard what happened, you guys alright?”

“We’re fine for now, but we gotta get ready, I have a feeling they are coming,” states Roy.
“I guess we have really pissed them off now.”
“By the way, you got the bullet Frank?”
“Here you go.” Sonia comes out of the room.
“Is she going to be alright?” asked Roy.
“I hope. She wants to see you Roy.”

Roy walks into Katelynn’s room feeling uneasy. “You wanted to see me?”

“I’m sorry.”
“For?”
“Trying to get all of you killed.”
“That’s not a fault nor a wrong doing. It’s our job to assure your safety.”
“I want to die.”
“What?”
“I feel I do not~ deserve to live~ I seem to bring death to anyone~ to anywhere I go.”
Roy sighs. “ Well, if that is my decision, I can kill you right now. Sadly, it’s up to fate.”
“Whatever.”
“Tell you what, if you ever get caught, wherever you are, make sure you are near a window. And I will find you, and you just let me handle the rest.” Roy shows the armor penetrating bullet to Katelynn. “ This will penetrate the thickest armor ever made. Just close your eyes, and you’ll be free.”

At the penthouse.

“Motherfuckers!!! What the fuck is wrong with you wankers!!?? What the fuck were you people doing? Having a ham-shank!!??”

“Sir, we’re sorry she had a sweeper with her. City hunter,” explains one of the henchmen towards their leader of the gang Mr. Krast.

“Hmm~ city hunter. If so, that’s her bodyguard, I get my contacts to locate his place, she should be there with him. We’ll strike tonight. We strike now! Take her alive!!”

The night was dark and quiet around the loft, footsteps climbing up the fire escape at back can be heard. Krast and his men waits just outside the door leading to Roy’s loft. The door was brought down, ten men entered, they opened fire as soon as they got in. Frank from the rear throws a flash grenade and started opening fire killing the men who came barging in. Roy knocks out the remaining out cold with his fists. Sonia in Katelynn’s room, protecting her.

“Jump off the window into the dumpster, the rubbish will break your fall.”
“Sure about this Sonia?”
“That was the plan, once the shooting starts, get out. Now go.”

Back outside as all the henchmen were neutralize, Roy and Frank wonders if that’s all of them since there was no one left. Even in the hallway. Katelynn lands into the dumpster, and see the barrel of Krast’s gun as she looks up trying to get out of the dumpster. Sonia screams alerting Katelynn but she was too late, Krast warns Sonia not to open fire as he threatens to kill Katelynn. That was the last time they saw of Katelynn.

In the morning, Krast with his remaining henchmen brought Katelynn onto a helicopter ride to an undisclosed location.

“The formula? Krast ask Katelynn.
“Does it look like I have it?” answer sarcastically as she spits onto his face. Krast slaps Katelynn in the face.

“Boss, she needs to be tortured for her to scream the location of the formula out.”

From the side Katelynn’s eye, she sees another helicopter came flying beside, she sees a man with a rifle stands at the opened door of the chopper. It was Roy. Krast and his henchmen were oblivious to this. Roy takes aim and fires Krast’s chopper’s door open, Katelynn falls out of the chopper as a result. Krast and his henchmen were in shocked. Lots of things came through Katelynn’s mind as she was free falling of the sky.

“I guess~ this is the end,” Katelynn monologues.
“Hiiiiii!!!!!!!!,” Roy came to her rescue with a parachute on his back. He greets her by rubbing her butt. Catches her into his grasp and deploys his parachute.
“Roy!!” Katelynn was surprised by Roy’s action. “How? WHO?? Krast?.”
“He’s been taken care off.”

Frank maneuvers the chopper Roy was on further away from Krast chopper, Sonia appears from behind the doors and fires off the rocket launcher leaving Krast’s chopper in pieces.

That afternoon after the incident, the trio brought Katelynn to the airport, accompanied by police officers and federal agents.

“These agents will bring you into protective custody. They will bring you to an undisclosed location for safety purposes where you can work more on that formula of yours,” explains Roy.

“Thank you!!!” Katelynn hugs each and everyone of them and walks into the departure hall. A suspicious character in a trench coat comes out from the shadows, takes out his gun and points it towards the trio. Roy heard the click on a gun but he was too late as Frank got shot in the neck and is bleeding badly. The police jumped on the shooter over powering him.

“Fuck!! Stay with me buddy you’ll be alright.. try not to talk,” Roy comforts Frank as he bleeds to death in Roy’s arms.
“GET THE FUCKING AMBULANCE!!!!” tears goes down the cheeks of Sonia as she too comforts her brother.
“R..Roy.” Frank calls out Roy
“Don’t fucking talk man, you’ll die.”
Frank pulls Roy closer. “Take care of my sister.” As Frank was drifting away, he looks at Sonia with a smile. “everything is going to be okay.” Sonia and Roy couldn't do anything but just stare blankly into Frank.

Days passed, Sonia can be seen at her brother’s grave. She kneels down and places fresh flowers on his grave. Roy, standing behind her, approaches her slowly, he puts his hand on her shoulder. A sign of calmness, and a sign assuring everything will be fine.

The Girl In The Picture

I feel like I'm always out of reach,
Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one left,
But the girl in the picture,
Always convinces me I'm not.

I feel like she understands me,
And so do I to her,
My in-sensitiveness and failings doesn't seem scare her away,
I hope it stays that way.

The girl in the picture,
Could be a total wreck,
What do I care,
So am I,
Have not found the right color to paint the words,
Oh well perhaps only time will tell.

Although our hearts may not be one,
Our thoughts and minds are,
Kinda silly to think like so doesn't it?
Well I'm only human,
What can I do about it?
So sue me,
You'll be in denial if you do so.

Architects Are Good Photographers Too




Had an open house four days ago for the Hari Raya celebration. Quite disappointed though cause I did not take lots of pictures this year like I did last year or before. Don't know why was just not feeling it.. Damn~~ During the day, my brother's friend who is an architect played around with my camera and produced some awesome pictures with the floor and chairs in the late afternoon/evening light. I tried it out myself and hey, it did turn out not bad too.. I guess I am pretty rusty lately, having difficulties in creating creative pics, I need to give my photography skills some maintenance. Anyway, hence the title, architects are too good photographers..

Zoolander








   Went to the Lok Kawi Zoo today with Yannik just to kill off some time during day.

Can I Kiss You?


A man opens up his eyes as he was still lying on his bed, unable to keep his eyes closed, he sees the time on this bedside clock. 2.23 a.m. Having difficulty in sleeping, the man wakes up and makes his way out of his room and on to the kitchen. The man did not turn on the lights as he is use navigating in the dark, he opens up his fridge and drinks from the carton filled with orange. Soft cries can be heard coming from the living room, the man walks towards the switch, turning it on revealing a brunette girl seating on his couch. His roommate. He pours a glass of warm water and joins her.


“So?” Ask the man.
“So what?” answers his roommate that looked as if she was in a foul mood and about to cry.
“Don’t you have work in the morning? Ask the roommate.
“Nope, I’m doing graveyard starting tomorrow. So they gave me a day off today,” answers the man.

“Going graveyard all the sudden will definitely mess up your body clock I must say. Why didn’t you fight for your morning shift anyway Frank?” the girl was having difficulties in talking as she was trying not to cry. This chokes her up.

“When the price for the maintenance of this apartment has increased. My pay during the day shift won’t be enough to pay it off. Even with your kindergarten teacher salary combine. So yea, I just took the initiative to do something about it. Somehow, they pay more for male nurses at St. Johns hospital doing graveyard.

She slowly leans her head on his shoulder.

“ *sighs* Lisa, just get some sleep okay. And perhaps you’ll feel better when you wake up later,” when Frank turns his head to Lisa on his shoulder, her eyes were already closed. She was fast asleep. Frank took a small pillow that was nearby, her head was placed on it and slowly Frank brings the pillow down to the cushion. Lights were off and Frank returns to his bed.

Frank jogs down the street which he does almost every single morning before work. Difference is, he can now start to jog a little bit later during the day. The street he lives in is a mixture of high rising buildings, few old ones and your typical small squared buildings. People crowd the streets up which makes his jogging journey a little bit more of a hustle. He’s cell was ringing, he picks it up and takes a breather at the same time. Frank cell phone went back into his pocket, he turns around and makes his way back to his apartment.

Lisa can be seen seating on the couch watching tv when Frank reached home.

“Hey,” Frank calls out to Lisa.
  Lisa turns around. “Hey, how was the jog?”
“It was good.. You’re home early.”
“I took the day off.”
“Oh, okay. That explains why you’re home.”
“Yeah,” Frank and Lisa were speechless for a while.
“Listen, I need to go to work in a few moments.”
“Work? You said you’re doing graveyard?”
“There is a situation down at the hospital. They need all the help they can get.”
“Situation? What situation? You’re nurse, not a doctor.”
“I just said it, “ALL” the help they can get. Hey, aren’t you supposed to be sleeping?”
“I was just~ resting my eyes. Doesn’t mean I am unconscious.”
“Yeah~ sure.” Frank makes his way to his bedroom to get ready.
“Hey!” Lisa calls Frank and he stops in his track.
“Yes?”
“It’s really sweet of what you’re doing. With doing graveyard and all.”
“What are friends for? Always gotcha back. Just make sure you have mine.”
“I’ll try get a raise or something. So the burden is equal.” Says Lisa.
“There’s one thing you could do. Dump his ass.”

Lisa throws a pillow to Frank as he goes into his room and gets change of clothes.


The scene at the hospital was hectic, there were tents and camps at its parking lot. The entrance to the hospital seem to be sealed shut. Frank walks around the parking lot filled with tents and camps, wondering around trying to figure out what is going on.

“Frank!!” another male nurse called him out.
“Jack, what the hell is going on?”
“Walk with me, we gotta go to that tent at the end.”
“What is going man?”
“Some diseases stuff. I don’t know. I just got here.”

There were a few people walking around and some into the hospital with a hazmat suit.

“Hazmat suit?” says Frank.
“I know it’s freaking me out too.” Says Jack.

They entered the required tent, a man in a hazmat suit without the head part of the suit on, awaits them. He looks to be in his mid fifties.

“Gentlemen, you’re here for your shift?”
“Yes,” says Jack.
“Actually I am doing graveyard but I was called down for an emergency.”
“Son, this kind of situation, daylight or night it’s still graveyard.”
“Mind telling us what’s going on?” asks Jack.

“One sick person came in, throwing up, fever and wound couldn’t be healed. One of your doctors guessed it was diabetes. But things just didn’t add up, there more sickness. Gangrene process enhanced, that’s the puzzling thing. After a while, they came pouring in. Same symptoms. So whosoever’s inside stays inside. Outside, they need to go elsewhere.”

“So wait, hang on, so you’re sending us into a biohazard area? That’s suicide.” Claims Frank. “ and how did you know what was going on anyways?”

“When things get too ugly, your hospital calls us.” Answers the man.
“CDC. Centre For Disease Control,” Jack answers.
“That’s right. So, why don’t you nurses make your way to tent number 5 and get suit up for work.”

Frank and Jack made their way to tent 5 to get suited up. They had to go through several cleaning process before putting on their suit. They made their way to the entrance after putting on the suit.

There were children, but mostly the adults and the elderly sitting and some lying down on the floor getting treated by the nurses and doctors. Some were seating on the bench waiting for their turn. Some can be seen were weak to the bone, some had cloth wrapped around their wounds that wouldn’t stop bleeding. Some of them, had already started to have gangrene. Frank and Jack couldn’t do anything for the moment but walked to the reception to report themselves in. Once reported, the head doctor came to brief them and explained to them what was going on.

“Phone calls are off the hook, people spitting blood and gangrene all over,” explains the doctor as he brings them to a room to help him out with the patients.

“Some kind of flu?” ask Frank.
“Don’t know, sorry can’t help you there. The CDC will do their job. And we just do ours.” Says the doctor.
“Hope we won’t get any of this shit,” Jack feeling concern.

Throughout the day, those who were appointed to them, all they could do was just give them shots, wrapped up any wounds, trying to stop the bleeding. Some patients even died. Some constantly spit blood, some threw up their food followed by some other things. As the day ended Frank and Jack were told to make their way to tent 6 where they’ll get cleaned up, sterilized before going back home. Frank reaches home to see Lisa on the couch crying her eyes out again.

“Hey are…” Frank couldn’t finish his words.
“Shut up!! I know I know.. you told me so..”
“What? No, are you ok I mean? Feel well?”
“Do I look like I’m well?”
“I’m sorry.”
“I dumped him. Should have listen to you long time ago,” Frank put his hand on Lisa’s forehead and neck feeling for temperature. He takes out a small flashlight to examine her eyes.

“What’s wrong? You trying to kiss me?”
“I’ll always ask you first if I can do so. *short pause* there’s a situation going down at the hospital. People getting sick and all, bleeding wouldn’t stop and all.”

“That bad.”
“Yea, so just be careful. Use a face mask or something when u go out.”
“Got it.”
“You gonna be okay?”
“I’ll live.”
“Okay, I’m heading to bed,” Frank hugs Lisa.

The scene at the hospital is more hectic than ever. A patient that died on the table suddenly got back up and started biting on the doctor that was examining her. Four other nurses came in with another doctor bringing the lunatic patient down, other patients who were outside waiting burst into the room and started biting and eating on the other staff as well. Other patients that were down with the sickness started eating everyone else except for their own kind. Police were on the scene as soon as the situation broke out, S.W.A.T as well. The forces failed to stop the situation from it going from bad to worst. People on the streets seem to have contracted the epidemic as well and started eating people nearby them. Few moments later, the military came by and help out, but failed miserably too.

An explosion at 2 in the morning awoke Frank from his sleep. He peeps down to the streets and sees people fighting. Gunfire, Molotov cocktails, strangling and blood. Lots of blood. Lisa enters and pulls Frank out of his room to the balcony to have a better view. They saw people eating other people, armed forces killing those eating people.

“What the hell is going on?” asks Frank.
“I don’t know,” Lisa tries calling Karen and Angie. Her best friends from the school she teaches, but there was no answer from their cell.

“Ok, take it easy, we’re on the 10th floor, we’ll be safe for now,” out of nowhere a man from the upper floor fell for his death and blood spatter all over the ground as he lands. Lisa screams at the sight of this, Frank pulls her back into the apartment, closing the sliding door and curtains. And waited till the sun rises again. 6 am, it was cloudy, only a small margin of sunlight can be seen piercing through the clouds. Noise and chaos that came from the streets were no more, there was nothing but dead silence. The door at Frank and Lisa’s apartment were boarded up with furniture, tables and shelves.

All Frank and Lisa can do for now was just wonder around their apartment.

“Frank we got to think of something, we can’t just stay here.”
“What do you expect me to think of huh? For starters we don’t even know what the hell is going on. That thing~~ that situation we saw, *points at the balcony referring to the situation they saw last night* was no riot. People falling from the balcony? Kidding me right?” Frank speaks as he feels the pressure.

“I’m sorry, I~ I didn’t mean to~” Lisa apologize.
“I’m sorry, we’ll figure something out.”
Three hours passed, the both of them still wondering around the apartment. Lisa turns on the news to see if there was anything on that could be a good use for them, but there was nothing, a blank screen or a ‘standby’ message. Frank goes back to the balcony and has a look around on the streets, he sees a police cruiser not too far from the apartment opposite the road.

“Lisa.. “
“What is it?”
“I’m going down.”
“What?”
“I said, I’m going down.”
“What for?”
“There’s a police cruiser on the opposite side of the road, there could be a radio in there, could be helpful. Could call for help.”

“You’re crazy, did you just see what’s been going down?”
“We might end up dead if we stay here any longer. *Frank grabs a sledge hammer from the storeroom* c’mon. Let’s go.”

Another person this time a woman, fell to her death from the floor above. Frank and Lisa moved the things away and goes slowly out of the door, peeking left and right if there was anyone that could threaten their life. After making sure that the coast was clear, Frank took Lisa’s hand and they both made their way to the elevator, the button was pressed but nothing happen. Soon after they realized the power has been shut off, they made their way to the stairs, they slowly descended down, making sure no one was insight. No one dangerous. They took their breath as they reached the ground floor. Frank with the sledgehammer in one hand, opened the door with another, peeking around for anyone, Lisa behind held onto Frank’s t-shirt. They both made their way to the police cruiser, passing the dead woman who fell from above. They got to the cruiser but all they got on the radio was static. Frank tries to adjust the stations, trying to find a sign of life, or at least something. After a while, the woman who fell from the floor above started to rise up again, slowly approaching them both, Lisa warns Frank, the woman was trying to bite off Lisa, Frank push the woman aside and swung the hammer onto her head, splattering blood all over the road.

The radio began to speak, Frank tried to communicate with whoever it was on the other side, but it was only a recording. The same recording plays over and over again, it stated to those who are still alive to make their way to the center of the city. Over there the military will pick up those whosoever that made it there by air. The message also made it clear it was only going to happen once. Tomorrow at mid-day.

“ The center of the city is twelve blocks away. We can me it okay?” Frank looks at Lisa, giving her a positive outcome.

Lisa exhales. She looks around and points out a group of people coming their way. “ Frank look.”

As the group of people gotten closer, they realize, they’re not normal people. They have blood all over them, some of them lost an arm, some of them had no gut left at their torso. And they’re heading their way.

“What are they!!?” Lisa feeling panic and concern.
“No idea, cannibals? Slowly step back and run for it. You hear!!?”
“Stick together,” Lisa stressed on it. They both move backwards slowly until their path is clear and are ready to make the run for it.


They back down slowly, making no sudden move, making sure everything is calm. Gunfire from behind them started making noise as they were about to run. They turn around to see two men with guns coming to their aid. One was in a helmet, Lisa assume they’re the S.W.A.T team.

“What the hell are you waiting for? C’mon!!!” says the man as he threw a grenade to slow the group of cannibals down. They ran as fast as they could, without looking back not knowing if they’re being chased or not. They came across an abandoned theater, they got in and shut the door.

“What the hell are you kids doing there?” asks the heavily build man.
“Kids? Hey, we’re no kids,” answer Lisa
“No kids eh? You almost got yourselves killed. That’s not kid like?” answers the man back.
“Guys c’mon, we got the point, we just needed to survive. So you guys are cops? The S.W.A.T team? Frank inquires.

The other S.W.A.T member took its helmet off revealing herself to be a woman. “What’s left of it. Take it easy on them Steve.”

“I’m Frank. This is Lisa. Mind telling us what’s going on?”
“Don’t you see? This is what’s going on.”
“What do you mean?” Frank asks even more.
“People are eating one another.”
“Cannibals,” Lisa interrupts and answers.
“No, Zombies.” Answers Steve.
“You kidding me?” Frank questions again.
“Nope, would you like to have a go with them?” Steve teases Frank.
“Steve!! Enough you two!!! I’m Rebecca by the way. Nice to meet you. *Shake hands with Frank and Lisa* so what the hell were you two doing back there?”

“We live across the street at the apartment, we witness what happened this morning. There were no news or updates. Saw a police car, so yea, thought the radio in there might be a glimpse of hope at least.”

“Brave but stupid,” comments Steve.
“*sigh* please excuse him. He’s being a hard ass. What did you guys get?”
“Something about an evacuation at the center of the city,” Lisa answers.
“By noon. Right?” Steve speaks.
“Yeah.” Frank.
“We heard the same thing over the radio too. We were on our way there then we saw you guys,” Rebecca explains.
“We better get moving now. It’s going to be difficult to move around when it’s dark,” Steve explains.

The doors of the theater opens slowly, Steve peeks around to see if there were any zombies, once making sure the coast is clear he gives the signal and they make their move. They walk down the street turning left after 100 meters, once they got there the road was block by debris and damaged vehicle and street lamps. Frank suggest they go through the underground subway, it is faster and shorter, going through the other way will take them a longer period of time. They made their way to the underground subway which was not too far from the pile of rubbles, as they were descending the steps Steve was almost got hit on the head by an oncoming steel pipe being swung by a survivor.

“Who the hell are you?” Asked Steve as he and Rebecca points the gun at him and Frank standby with the sledgehammer.

“Chill dude, put the pipe down. He’s a cop,” another man and a pregnant woman comes out from the darkness and calms his friend down. Steve and the man both put their weapons down.

“How you doing?” asked the man with the pregnant woman.
“We’re good. We’re what’s left, I guess,” Frank answers.
“What are you doing in here?”
“We’re heading to the center of the city. There’ll be an evacuation there tomorrow at noon. It’s only going to happen once. And that’s it.”

“And you got this info from?” asked the guy with the pipe.
“Police cruiser radio, after playing around with them station. I came across the repeating message.”
“What are you guys doing here then?”
“We’re going there via these train tracks. The road to the center of the city is blocked. We go the other way, it’s going to take us forever. We’re gonna try our luck here,” Steve interrupts and explains.

“We heard the it too. We just came from there *the man with the pregnant woman points to the tunnel behind them* don’t think just because we’re underground its safe~ there was 15 of us before.”

“Keep your eyes open then,” Rebecca instructs.
“By the way, I’m Joe, this is my girlfriend Stacy. And that’s Caine.” *Points to the man holding the steel pipe*
“Oh my god, how long are you in?” Lisa asks with excitement and happiness.
“It’s the third trimester. It can come anytime,” Says Stacy.
“We better get moving, we gotta keep an extra eye on you,” Rebecca explains to Stacy.

The gang moves through the tunnel leading to the center of the city, it was dark, Rebecca decides to hold out the flash light while Steve aims the gun. They move swiftly but steadily, making sure the coast is clear. Minutes into the walk, they heard noises coming from above the tunnel. Sounded like someone is walking or hanging on the ceiling, Rebecca points the flashlight to the ceiling revealing a zombie hanging to the pipes of the tunnel, Steve opens fire as it drops down to the ground and got back on its feet. Those behind Steve and Rebecca ran behind them, the duo finished off the zombie running towards them. The noises that came from their gun capture the attention of other zombies that were above nearby the station, a whole army of them came pouring down the steps and running towards them. They ran as fast as they could to the next station, Stacy who was pregnant tries to keep up with the gang. Steve threw a flash grenade to slow down the zombies. Give them just mere seconds at least to run. Not too far away, Rebecca sees the next station, there were a few zombies loitering around, they finish them off with a few rounds of gun fire. Frank whacks those nearby to him so did Caine. Joe uses his fist and legs to knock what’s ever zombies that was left blocking their way.

“You know kung-fu?” Frank inquires Joe.
“I’m a MMA fighter.”
“That explains it.”
“NO TIME TO CHAT!!” Steve gives out the warning as they continue to run up the stairs and on the other side of the street. Steve threw a grenade into the station, leaving the stairs to cave in.

“Let’s get out of here before that noise brings more this way,” Caine suggests.
“It’s getting dark, it’s going to take another 6 hours to get to the center of the city with these rubbles and all,” Frank says.

“Guys, let’s just walk as far as we can. I can still take it,” Stacy.
“You sure baby?” Joe being concern.
“Yes I can.”
“Let’s move then.”

They walk the streets keeping an extra eye out everywhere they passed and went. Joe got caught up in a conversation with Caine, Lisa went up front ahead to walk with Rebecca and Steve.

“Hey Frank right?”
“Yeah, are you doing okay Stacy?”
“Yes I’m fine.”
“So~ how long have you been together?”
“What?”
“You and Lisa right? Her name?”
“Oh, no, we’re not together, we’re just friends and roommates.”
“I heard that one before.”
“What’s that suppose to mean?”
“You see the way you two treat each other? The way you hold her hand and all?”
“We’re best friends, we got each other’s back.”
“Please don’t try to deny stuff with a pregnant woman. I’ve been with Joe for 10 years and I am 40 now. I know how these young lovers work. Stop lying to yourself, let her know before it’s too late.”

“Why me?”
“Sorry?”
“I mean, why are you giving me this prep talk anyway?”
“Let’s just say I’ve been trying to redeem myself for not doing something that I should have for my brother. Frank you are a nice young man, so go.”
“Perhaps later?”
“There won’t be any later.” Frank sighs after hearing what Stacy said.

Frank made his way to the front trying to get a moment alone with Lisa, before he could do so, from the back, Caine screams to the top of his lungs. A zombie out of nowhere jump onto him from the rubbles, Joe tried his best to help him get it off, Frank came to aid him as well but it was of no use it was too late. Caine screams telling them to run while he try to hold it down while he still could. Many others came and jumped on Caine for a meal. Steve and Rebecca fires few shots to slow them down. They were able to make their way to a convenient store nearby and barricaded themselves in it. After a while, Stacy herself started screaming in pain.

“What’s wrong?” asks Joe in a nervous voice with concern.
“The baby is coming!!!”
“What!!?? NOW!!!??”
“Yes yes!!! Arrghhh!!!!” Stacy was bleeding heavily from in between her legs.
“Oh my god!!!! FRANK!!!” Lisa calls for Frank.

“Shit!!!” Frank orders Lisa and Joe to put Stacy on her back, Lisa grabs a towel nearby on the shelf to put it on Stacy’s head so it acts as a pillow.

“Stacy you got to push!!!!” Stacy screams in pain after Frank orders her to push.
“DO SOMETHING SHE’S IN PAIN!!!!!” Joe pleads.
“JUST HOLD HER HAND.” Frank tells Joe. “ Stacy you got to push, okay? You can do it. Just breathe and PUSH!!!”

Stacy bleed even heavier. Blood was all over the floor, Frank and Joe’s pants were covered in blood in no time. Rebecca and Steve couldn’t do anything but witnessing what was going on.

“I SEE THE HEAD!!!”

Stacy was able to give a fade smile when Frank said that, once the baby was out everyone were stunned.

“My baby!! Why isn’t my baby crying!!??” Stacy asks as Joe looks on.
“It’s a boy,” Frank answers with sadness in his voice.
“My god. A boy. Thank you, Frank. May I hold him?”

Lisa gave Frank more towels to cover the baby up, as Frank hands over the baby to Stacy, Joe went by her head, making sure her head is upright and able to see the baby. The baby wasn’t moving, wasn’t breathing at all. The baby was dead. Stacy was happy that she delivered him. Slowly Stacy closes her eyes, and her head fell back onto Joe’s lap. With baby in arm. Lisa comforts Joe as he started to cry.

“I’m sorry,” was all Frank could say as he walks to the back of the store. Frank searches for the washroom and started to rinse off the blood from his hands. He washes his face, couldn’t believe what just transpired. As he leaves the washroom, Lisa appears.

“Frank, are you okay?”
“I guess~ yeah~,” tears were starting to flow from Frank’s eyes. Lisa hugs him tightly putting her hand on the back of her head.

“It’s not your fault.” All Frank could do was stare blindly at Joe and his wife on the floor. While Rebecca and Steve paid their respect.

Frank and Lisa takes a seat near the fridge of the store, Steve approaches them.

“Is he going to be okay?” Frank asks.
“Just let him be alone for a while,” Steve advises.

“I’m sorry.”
“What?” Lisa questions Frank.
“I said I’m sorry~ I didn’t get to listen, hear you out about your issue with your boy.”
“Didn’t feel like talking about it as well, you have nothing to worry about.”
“What happen?”
“When you saw me crying for the first time that day, I was actually happy. Because he proposed to me, the second time I was sad, I walked in on him with another girl. Threw his ring out the window. I said ‘fuck you’, gave the finger and left.”

“Did he try to chase after you?”
“Yea, whacked him with the fire extinguisher. Knocked out for the count. *Giggles*
“Somehow, even though I was happy, I still felt, he wasn’t the one.” Lisa continues.
“You were just taking a shot in the dark? And just risk divorce later huh?” Frank asks.
“You’ll never know if you don’t try. And you? Why did all of your relationship suck badly?

“Beats me. I guess I’m just kinda boring, that’s why they left.” Frank explains.
“Yea, I guess you’re boring.”
“Oy, c’mon, give me a break. You should be cheering me up or something.”
“You fool. *giggles*”
*Snicker* I guess I have the same problem as you. When I get a girl, there is a missing piece of a jigsaw puzzle. And well, it’s just seem to be missing. And~” Lisa seems to have already dozed off on Frank’s shoulder.

*sigh* I feel like, it is you. It is you that should be.. Erm~ it should be us.”
“zzzZZZZZZzzzz.” Lisa sounds asleep. Frank decides to have a shut eye after looking at Lisa, after looking around seeing Steve and Rebecca too were resting. And Joe was still by his wife’s side. His eyes closes for rest. Meanwhile, there was a small smile on Lisa.

“Frank.” “Frank.” “Frank, wake up,” was shook up by someone. It was Joe.
“Frank c’mon we got to go. We go to keep moving,” Joe explains. Frank woke Lisa up and they made their way to the back door of the store. Steve and Rebecca were waiting for them.

“Let’s move, we don’t have much time left,” Rebecca
“It’s still dark.” Lisa says.
“We’re still six blocks away, we move now we can get there even before noon. Keep your eyes open,” Rebecca explains.

They started walking making their way to the center of the city. Lisa held on tight to Frank.

“Hey Joe. I’m sorry about Stacy.” Frank apologizes.
“You have nothing to apologize about. You did what you could. Just take care of this one *points to Lisa*”

They walked for hours without stopping, without food or water. From time to time, Steve measures his shadow when the sun came up to check what time it was approximately. At the 4th block, there were a few zombies loitering around and engaged them, with the weapons at hand, they worked them off. As they were approaching the 3rd block, a zombie jumps out from a book shop, and attacks Joe. He tries to get it off, he failed. And was bitten. Frank helped out but it was too late. Steve and Rebecca lend their hands as well. Success in killing the zombie that attacked Joe, a whole army of them came from out of nowhere running towards them.

“Frank.” Steve calls.
“Yea?”
“You used a gun before?”
“Yes.”
“Good, take these. One for you one for Lisa.”
“Got it.”
“Get the evact. Point.”
“What!? Hell no, c’mon we’re almost there.”
“We don’t hold them back. We’re all gonna die.” Rebecca explains. Frank and Lisa looks on.
“Thank you. We’ll meet again,” says Frank.
“In another life perhaps eh?” Says Steve. Frank and Lisa make the run for it.

Steve gave Joe another gun as they try to hold back the army that was gaining on them. They shot each and everyone of them, making sure their heads blows off and blood splatter everywhere. As they were out of bullets, they started using their fists and legs. Overpowered, Steve pulled another stunt, on him were 5 un-used grenades. He pulled a clip out of one and everything blows up.

Frank and Lisa made it to the center of the city, they stood on top a pile of cars. Looking at the position of the sun, Frank assumes it is almost noon. Few moments has past, they hear the sound of rotors. Sound of a helicopter. Soon, they see one flying towards them from a distance. Approximately 10 minutes away. An army of zombies again appear out of nowhere, they both open fire at the zombies that was coming from different directions. Frank drops his gun down once he ran out of bullets.

Frank pulls Lisa over to face him.

“Lisa.”
“What Frank?”
“I don’t know how to tell you this but..”
“Frank now is not the time.”
“There is no time.”
“What’s wrong?”
“Can I kiss you?” Frank asks.

As their lips got closer and closer to each other, so was the helicopter flying towards them. And, so were the zombies, climbing to the top of the pile of cars they are on.

The Bus Trip


               It is now the time to depart. It is time for the tour bus to depart from the hotel to Narita International airport. The tourists were busy loading their bags into the bus compartment below. The lady in red waits on the sofa of the hotel lobby until everyone is done loading their bags or at least there were already few people left doing so. As she finds it a hustle to go through the riff rafts of people fighting to place their bags at the best spot of the compartment. As the crowd subsides, the lady in red together with her trolley bag makes her way to the compartment and places it at an empty spot deep inside. She got onto her bus and makes her way to the seat at the back of the bus. Fourth row from the back. Their flight leaves in three hours, but they need all the time to go through the process of getting on board the plane. Their journey to the airport will take them forty five minutes. The buses leaves after the tour guide makes its final check making sure everyone was on board.

It was a cloudy day, the sun wasn’t strong at all, the breeze was wonderful and it was the winter season. The lady in red decides to read her novel during the journey to the airport. 10 minutes into the journey as they reach the freeway, the tour guide announces that there is a heavy traffic jam. Not knowing what causes the jam he tells everyone their arrival to the airport may be delayed. The tour guide can be seen making phone calls after announcing the situation. The lady in red continues to read her novel as the traffic is moving slow. 20 minutes into the jam, a lady who looks like a single mother seated 2 rows in front of her on the other side, was trying to calm her baby down as it has been crying for quite some time now. The lady in red was feeling unrest about the situation.

“May I?” the lady in red approaches the single mother and tries her luck to stop the baby from crying. She carries the baby and pats a few times on the baby’s back. The baby burps and stops crying. she returns the baby back to the mother.

“ Thank you.” Says the mother.
“ Its no problem.”
“ How did you know?” ask the mother.
“ I’m a nurse, I handle those babies that was just given birth to.”
“ I’m kind of new in this.”
“ Take it easy, it’s not easy to be a single mum.”
“ I know. Thank you. I’ll be able to handle this.” Says the single mother.
“ Anytime.”


10 minutes after continuing her novel, a group of football(soccer) hooligans who is seated up front singing their favorite football(soccer) team. There were at least 10 of them, 5 each on both sides of the bus, they seem to be supporting different teams from the songs they’re singing. 5 minutes into the singing duel, one of the hooligans from the right hand side of the bus stepped up.

“Oyy~ why don’t you bastards shut the fuck up!!!”
“What!!?? Your father don’t own this bus we’ll sing whatever we want!!!” says the another hooligan member from the left hand side of the bus.

“You want me to put my foot up your arse mate!!??” left hand side of the bus to the right hand side.
“HEEYY!!! You two don’t shut up we’re heading to the police station instead and delay everyone because of you two fucks!!!” the tour guide warns the hooligans and they kept quiet.

Another 20 minutes into the journey, the traffic doesn’t seem to be any different than before. The lady in red was about to doze off, when the lady seating behind her started arguing on her cellphone with someone. A boyfriend she assumes. As the lady behind her hung up her phone, she accidently throws it to the floor and it landed below the lady in red’s seat. The lady in red picks up the phone and returns it to her.

“Yours?”
“Thank you,” says the lady behind her.
“What’s wrong? If I may ask?” The lady in red folds her arms and placed it on the chair’s head rest, puts her chin on her folded arms that’s on the headrest.
“No biggy. It was my agent.”
“Agent?”
“Yes, I’m an actress.”
“Owh~ what movies have you acted in?”
“I don’t think you’ll know them.”
“Try me.”
“You won’t because I’m an adult actress.”
“You can’t be a teen actress.”
“No~no~ I mean, I’m a pornstar.”
“Owh~ my apologize.”
*laughs* nothing to apologize about.”
“So, why so angry?”
“I want to leave the business, agent won’t allow.”
“Why so? Leave the business?”
“Well, I just want to stop. I wanna do something else. Something clean okay???”
*laughs* I got you. Listen, if you ever want to work as a nurse, here’s my card. *hands over business card* perhaps I can help you out.”

“I’ll think about it. Thanks.”

“Anytime,” the lady in red returns onto reading her novel. By then the traffic was already moving smoothly. They arrived at the airport two hours before their flight, just in time to go through the whole check-in process. As the bus arrives, again the lady in red waits until everyone is off the bus, only then she makes her way off the bus and towards the luggage compartment. The snow started to fall as she gets her bag out of the compartment. As the snow falls, she stares at the snow falling from the skies. She puts her hand up, closes them as the snow falls onto her palm. She makes her way into the airport after enjoying the snowfall for a short moment.

BeatDown

               The DVD player is playing a movie, what was shown on the LCD television was a boy in a green superhero costume. Trying to be a superhero when he is not and gets beaten up along the way.

A woman can be seen watching the movie on the couch with a white blanket covering her up. A man comes by, sits next to her and cuddled her up.

“Okay~ you have watched this movie for like the third time already,” the man states.
“I know,” says the girl.
“Today,” answers the man.

“So what if I’ve watch kickass three times today? You watch two towers like three times too.”
“Four, okay. Four for towers. And it was not on the same day.”
“So what you gonna do about it?” the girl taunts the man.
“well how about I  tickle you?” the man tickles the girl till she laughs and she tickles him back. They ended up in each other’s embrace, leaving the movie to run itself through the night.

The next morning, the man has finished getting prepared for what it seems college. Dressed up in slim fit shirt, jeans and sneakers while the girl seems to be prepared for work. Black tube, Grey blazer and heels. The man went downstairs and eats his prepared breakfast.

“May I have the keys?” the girl asks the man.
“Why?”
“I need to load up some things.”
“Okay~” Hands over car keys.

The man was wondering why his girlfriend is taking so long, when he went out he sees her at the driver seat.

“Again?” the man says as his girlfriend just smiles on. She drives him to his college.

“Why aren’t you letting me drive? It’s my car.”
“I thought it was our car?” answers the girl as he gives him a peck on the cheek.

“Now get out. See you laterz.”

“Woman huh? His friend appears from nowhere.
“Ellie, you’re a girl yourself.”
“How do you know that? Maybe I went under the knife?”
“Disgusting..”
“Ok hurry, your maiden is waiting.”
“What’s that supposed to mean?” they make their way to their class, their lecturer who Ellie refers to as maiden was about to begin as they enter.

“Cheating on your girlfriend again Mr. Tony ?”
“Good morning Ms. Kelly.”  Greets Tony.

Ms. Kelly(33) was called a maiden as she was one of the most beautiful and sexiest lecturer. From the way she look and the way she dresses. Her top was never buttoned all the way up, she’ll always leaves few buttons unbuttoned. Short skirt, flawless skin and a red head. All the girls wanted to be her, all the men wants to be with her. The men’s eyes just could not be un-glued from her. After the class ended, as everyone was walking out.

“Tony, hold on.” Ms. Kelly calls Tony to a halt.
“Yes?”
“Take these,” she hands over two tickets to a function, celebrating her golf club house’s anniversary.
“I can’t take those, I mean is like, bribery. Ain’t it?”
“Just take them okay, I’ve been raising her all my life, since you have been taking good care of my niece for the past two years, you deserve a reward.” Tony takes the ticket. “ And you did not get this from me.”

“Thanks Ms. Kelly.”
“It’s on December 5th this year. It’s only January, you have all the time in the world to prepare.”

After all the classes, the day came to a close at 5pm. Tony’s girlfriend arrives on time to pick him up.

“Scoot over, I’m driving.”
“Fine.” She smiles as she scoot over to the passenger seat. She greets and hugs Ellie as they saw each other.

“Hey Tony, don’t forget to pay the bill.” *Laughs Ellie*
“Bbbyyyeeeeeee~~~” Tony teases Ellie.

“Where should we go tonight Lady Julie?”
“Lady huh? What is it that you want boy?”
“Well~ nothing peculiar.”

They both ended up dining at a high end restaurant, celebrating their second year anniversary. The watched a movie after their dinner and headed back home. When they reached home, Julie made her way up into the house first, while Tony parks and gave the car a quick check up. Tony goes into the house and goes up into the room and realize Julie was standing there in shock.

“Sweetie, if this is a movie I would give you an award for being able to pull off a scared expression,” says Tony as he walks into the room he was brought down by two men from behind him. Another two men brings Julie down on the floor while another stands tall, takes his masks off. The man was bald and has a goatee. Tony assumes he is the leader. Tony tries to tell him not to hurt his girlfriend and he will be given anything he wants but his mouth was muff by a cloth tied around it. Tony keeps on struggling to get free, as the leader was about to rape Julie, Julie on the floor helpless and screams her heart out. As the gang leader starts to rape her, all Tony could do is just watch helplessly and cry his eyes out. Not long after, one of the men behind him knocks him out cold. All he heard before blacking out for good was “Drigo”.

Tony started to open his eyes as he picked up the scent of a hospital. Ellie was the first to appear in his vision.

“Tony, Tony.. hey can you hear me?” Asks Ellie.
“Huuhh~ what?” Tony answers.

Ellie immediately calls the doctor and Tony’s mom and uncle who came all the way from their home at Trustock. The doctor examines Tony and made it clear that he is just going to be fine and need further check-ups from time to time.
“ Oh sweetie thank god you’re alright,” Tony’s mum in tears and gave him a hug.
“Good to have you back kiddo,” Tony’s uncle Todd is relieved.
“Where’s Julie?” The room was in silence. No one dared to say anything.

Ellie was the one who did the dirty work, she told him after trying him on his cell the day after the incident she went to the house to check up on them cause no one was picking up their cells. Even Julie’s. When she arrived the front door was wide opened, she look all over and went upstairs the last and saw Tony been tied down on the floor, Julie was bleeding heavily from her vagina and her anus. And she rang the ambulance.

“She’s dead? And I didn’t do shit to help” Tony says calmly.
“It’s not your fault, you did what you could,” Ellie answers.
“Where is she? I want to see her.”
“That’s the problem.”
“What do you mean? Problem?”
“You’ve been sleeping for 7 ½ months now.”
“Fuckk~~” Tony looks down with his hands on the sides of his head.
“That’s not the only thing, autopsy finds out, she was rape by multiple men.” After hearing that, Tony did nothing but stayed silent.

Tony stayed with his mom and his uncle Todd for few days, thus after sending them to the airport he and Ellie went back to Tony and Julie’s place.

“Me and your mom helped cleaned up a bit while you were in a coma,” says Ellie.
“Thanks. Erm~ thanks Ellie. You can go now.”
“You sure?”
“Yeah~ I’ll call you if I faint or anything,” snickers.
“Right~ oh and just in case you have not realize yet cause you still seem blur. Shave the beard off and get a haircut. You look like the woman with a beard. You know the one from the circus?” Smiles.

“I’ll be fine.. go…”

        Ellie smiles and makes her way out. Tony walks around the house and finally makes his way to the master bedroom where he and Julie retires. He stands at the door staring into thin air, he walks to the closet to see Julie’s clothing still there, intact. The chalk mark on the floor was gone, Julie’s jewelry were arranged by Ellie on the dressing table just the way it was before police took them as evidence. He opens a drawer and found a bandana that Julie gave him for his birthday last year. A Criss Angel bandana, black in color with skulls. He holds on to it, and finally he slams himself on his bed. And started to cry. Slowly he falls asleep.

Ms. Kelly who was still the same was about to begin her lecture today. And comes, Tony. Everyone was in silence to see the condition he was in. Not that he did not dressed neatly anymore, he has a beard and long hair which makes him look like a bum. Black sweater, blue jeans red sneakers.

“Yo Tony!! You’re alright eh!!!” a student somewhere from the crowd.
“Take it easy Tony,” A girl from the front row pats on his back.
“Tony come here,” Ms. Kelly calls him.
“From what I’ve heard from Ellie, she just sent you back to your old place yesterday. And you got a little emotional. You sure you are okay for class today?”

“I’ll be fine.”
“Take a seat.” Tony walks to an empty seat next to Ellie.
“You were spying on me?” Tony asks Ellie.
“I was climbing that apple tree in your garden, trying to take some apples. Coincidently, it was facing your room.”
“*Tony smiles* Thankss.”

It was the winter season, 12 degrees. There was no snow but the wind and the temperature was very chilly. Tony accepted a ride offer from Ellie as he only needed to be dropped at the city. As he needed a walk of fresh air and will find his way back. Tony was dropped at the main city and started to walk to streets. He uses his bandana to cover his nose and mouth with his hands as it was cold. As he was passing a car park he noticed a woman was about to be robbed by two men.  He hid behind the walls for a while, after some thinking he decided to help. He tied his bandana behind his head, this covers half of his face like robbers back in the old west. He approached the two robbers and the victim.

“Stand back.”
“What!??” Second robber  says.
“I said stand back.”
“What the fuck does this muthafucker want?” the first robber.
“Kick your asses if you don’t get fuck out of here.”
“You really wanna die boy?” says the first robber as he got kicked in the gut and punch by Tony on the cheek and fell onto the ground.

“You’re gonna die boy,” the second robber pulls out a knife and started swinging it to Tony, trying slashing him. Tony evades and was able to punch him in the gut and the temple. But the robber got the upper hand and stab Tony twice in the same spot. His left kidney. Tony falls to the ground as the two robbers escaped. The woman victim got out from behind the car and attends to Tony and calls the ambulance. Tony once again goes unconscious.

Hours later Tony awakes to see the girl who was the victim of robbery beside him, and the doctor who treated him the first time he got admitted into the hospital.

“Just can’t stay out of trouble can you Tony?” Says the doctor.
”damn it.” *Tony gets up and feels the pain in his left kidney*
“Lie back down you got injured,” says the girl who was the robbery victim.
“How long have I’ve been out?”
“3 hours,” says the girl.”

Ellie rushes in the hospital ward.

“Hmmpph, again huh?”
“You can take him home tomorrow, need to stay overnight. Just in case something happen,” advises the doctor.
“I’ve got to go now, so you and your girlfriend can have some time alone.” Says  the girl.
“we’re not dating,” Ellie and Tony says it at the same time.

“Owh~ sorry. *smiles* Thanks for today.” The girl gave Tony a peck on the cheek.

The next day, Ellie brought Tony back home. After making sure he can handle himself alone, she takes off saying that she had met this guy when Tony was in a coma. As he lies down, memories of the incident started going through his mind again, everything was blurry but only a certain word isn’t. And it was a name, Drigo. For now, it was a name, it could be anything. With pain killers down his throat in an instant, Tony took his car keys and drove off to the police station. As he arrives, he has a hard time walking from where he parked his car which was quite a distance towards the lobby of the station. He reaches the front desk, gulp downs a couple of painkillers.
“Are those perscripted?” ask the attendant police officer at the front desk.
“Well I am kind of seeing things.. unicorns.. *sarcastic smile* anyway, I need to see Detective Monica Blanc.”
“Have a seat, one moment please.”

Tony waited for 20 minutes and dozed off in the process.

“Tony.. Tonyy.”
“*Tony awakes from his nap* owh Monica, hii. *hugs*”
“I heard what happen. Are you alright?”
“Yes I’m fine. Funny how come you didn’t take my case.”
“I just didn’t want to work on my ex-boyfriend. No hard feelings.”
“whatever, it’s your damn job. Anyway, I was wondering if you can give me a bullet proof vest?”
“Why do you need one?”
“Protection. I mean, after what happen.”
“I’m not authorized to give you one.”
“Why not? I mean you police always get away with them corruption scandals and etc.”
“sigh, you never change.”

Tony drives home immediately as the bullet proof vest sits on the passenger seat. He goes to his room dig out some old clothing. He got a black pea coat, black sweater, black jeans and some blue sneakers. Using the bullet proof vest underneath his clothing, covering half of his face with his Criss Angel bandana.

“Looking good. *injury stings* urgghh.. I’ll start tomorrow,” Tony monologues.

The next night, Tony goes to the same place where he met the robbery victim. This time the same two robbers were there. Tony approaches them in what it seems with his costume.

“Hey!! Hey!!!” he caught the robbers attention.
“Well well well~~ looks who’s back to get himself killed again,” The first robber pulls out a gun.
“we’re gonna let you run before you kill yourself,” says the second robber.
“Not this time,” before Tony could even make a move the first robber shot him in the left part of his upper body. But nothing happened, Tony felt no pain whatsoever just an impact.

“I’ve came prepared.” After so, Tony beat the two robbers up by giving them kicks and punches to the gut and temple and cheeks and few to the knees. The first robber went unconscious, Tony approached the second to interrogate.

“listen to me, ok, where is Drigo?”
“what the fuck man, we.. I don’t know who Drigo is.”
“Bullshit, petty criminals like you are part of gangsters, I’m sure you know something!!”
“We don’t know shit. We ain’t part of a gang we just do this thing on our own. Ok~ look if you want to know more go to The Tribune. Most Mexican gangsters go there. You might find something… okay?? Lemme go!!!”

“okay,” Tony punches the guy out cold. As he was inspecting himself, he realizes he was bleeding at the same spot similar to where he got shot.

“The bullet went through!!???” Tony monologues.

Tony goes back to see Monica the next day with a sling.
“Hey Tony, what gives? You broke your hand or something?”
“*Giggles* broke my hand? Haha, funny.. your damn vest didn’t do its job. I got fucking shot!! And what’s the deal!!???
“okok im sorry. Let me have a look. *Monica looks at the date on the tag at the back of the vest* I’m so sorry Tony this vest has expired.”

“You gave me an expired vest…. Just great.”
“Look vest like these must be change every five years cause that’s how long they could only last. And when the new ones comes in the old ones.. well you get the idea.”

“Look I know we’re exes, but if you want to get me killed, I’ll be honored to have you killing me cause you’re my ex. Not some other jackass.”

“Sighs.” Monica.

“Just give me your vest.”
“Yeah great, I’ll just say I lost it.”

        A couple of months passed, Tony is fully healed from all his injuries. He adds another accessory to his wardrobe, Julie’s Tom Cruise Mission Impossible Oakley sunglasses. From one streets to another, during the day he hunt down petty criminals to cough up some info about Drigo. During the night, he hunts down lairs or clubs where ever his info lead him. The first info he receive about the club named Tribune, he came out empty handed. After few weeks on the streets, he became famous, a legend overnight. The cause of saving people’s life. Even saving lives of those who got trapped in the fire on one fine day.

Tv interviews.

“I saw him.. Yes I saw him, he was a gentlemen, he was polite and kind says you’re welcome and all,” 60 something year old woman.

“I think he is kinda sexy, especially in that shades of his. I’m sure if I call for help, he’ll come in an instant. And he shall be rewarded. By me…. “ mid 20 year old something slutty girl.

“That fella is a menace I tell you.. it’s the police job to get these criminals off the streets not some guy in a mask. We have laws and people have rights and it should be abide!!!!” 70 year old war veteran.

“I know who he iss I tell you!!!! I know!! Its that damn magician.. Criss Angel I tell you!!! Look at him, covering his face with his own merchandise.. its him its him I know it!!!!!” says the bum.

“Are you sure it is him?” interviewer asks the bum.
The bum pauses for quite a while staring up. He gulps down a whiskey and begins again “ ITS HIM I TELL YOU. CRISS ANGEL!! I KNOW IT!!!!”

Tony rests on the roof of a building, after a long night of not getting any luck of locating Drigo. He exhales and enjoys the cold night breeze. He was approached by an unexpected ally.

“So, you’re who they say is the vigilante. Criss Angel? Is that you?” a woman who seem to be a vigilante too, appears behind Tony. Dressing was, a mask closing almost her whole face, range from her eyes down to her mouth and chin. What could only be seen was her hair and ears. She wore what looks like a black military jumpsuit, accompanied with a grey colored women’s slim fit trench coat.

“*Tony stood up* who are you? What do you want? Kill me?”
“Hey~ hey~ we’re on the same team here.”
“Sorry girl, don’t need a partner.”
“Sorry too cause who wants to be your partner?”
“*sigh*What is it?”
“Nothing, just trying to get acquainted.” The lady gives out a smiley shape from her mask and sits on the ledge of the building while swinging her legs.
“Who are you?” asks Tony.
“You can call me Alice.”
“Alice? No special kind of superhero nickname or something?”
“I don’t use silly nicknames. And yourself?”
“No silly nickname too.. I guess, until the press comes up with some name.. I’m just your typical masked vigilante.”
“Where did you learn to fight?”
“Why do you want to know?”
“Curiosity.”
“Watched a lot of classic Chinese kung-fu movies. I just copied the moves as the same time as the movie plays. From time to time people do try to beat me up when I was in high school. So yeah. That’s how I get my training”

“Since high school huh? You’re like what? Working now?”
“Okay~ enough about me *Tony walks towards her* your turn.. How long have you been around?”
“Around? *giggles* I’ve been around for quite some time now.. why you never heard of me on the media? Well~ unlike you, I always cover up my tracks. I retrieve a handbag, I just put it on the victim’s path.”

“Put it on the victim’s path? Err~ how?”
“You have a brain, use it.” A moment of silence for a short moment.

“ You know, you should use a weapon or two. Or a gun for that matter when you fight. It helps at times.”
“Look, thanks for the advice but I’m going home.” Tony walks to the door leading to the stairs.
“What are you doing?” asks Alice.
“Going down via the stairs?”
“Superheroes don’t usually use stairs. They go off by the roof using ropes or something. Pathetic. Here, take this,” Alice gave Tony a gun that shoots out high tension wire that can support weights up to 500 pounds. She explains it will help him propel up and down high places. Or even from one building to another. He takes it and leaves.

The next day, Tony awakes at 3pm and realized he was late for class and just decided to skip it today. He goes to his bag pack that he always bring to college and sees two tickets that Ms. Kelly gave him to a ball, a function that was tonight. December 5th, he never knew how fast time has passed. He got prepared for  the night, and made his way to the club house and arrived at 7p.m. He walks in and looks around as he sees Ms. Kelly.

Tony walks to Ms. Kelly.
“Hello ma’am.”
“Oh Tony, you made it.”
“You gave me the ticket, I didn’t want it to go to a waste. I’m sure you had to go through a hard time getting it.”

“Not exactly, just $300 each.” All Tony could do is smile when he heard the amount. The function went smoothly, there were performances, dancing, lucky draw and up to a certain point, the new president of the golf club went on stage. He was introduced as “Rodrigo”. The person who went on stage somehow has grown his hair and made it into a side parting, his goatee was still there. The four other men who were his bodyguard has the exact height and etc as the men that came into his house, raped and killed his girlfriend. Tony assumed that Rodrigo has made his way to the top of the food chain. Tony follows Rodrigo as he goes off the stage and into his car. Tony himself as well got into his car and started following Rodrigo from behind. At the same time he changed into his costume. Rodrigo stops at a beat up apartment block and heads up to a certain door, the one with a guard sitting guarding outside the door. Tony parked his car behind a convenient store, before he went in he goes into the store.

“Oh SHITT!!! Dude, take whatever you want just don’t kill me!!!” the store clerk says.
“Hey! Hey! Hey! Chill, I’m not here to rob.. okay? How much for those metal baseball bats?” Tony inquires.

The guard, a big size African American man, sits down on his chair reading a newspaper. He heard footsteps but ignores them when he sees that there was no one in sight as he takes a look around and continues reading his newspaper. Tony runs at full speed towards the guard and beats him on the head with the baseball bat and knocks him out cold. He then breaks the door down and saw they were at least 20 people inside the apartment, blindly and boosted by rage, he just rushed in and whacked anyone who came his way with his baseball bat, he was able to knock down three men. In a while, Tony blacked out. And there was an incredible pain at the back of his head.

Tony awakes, not being tied on a chair, just awaken sitting on the floor, sees he was surrounded by the men in the room. Armed with guns and machetes and blunt objects. Rodrigo approaches him.

“So, the “Criss Angel” superhero. We meet, finally,” says Rodrigo.
“I’m not Criss Angel.”
“DEFINITELY NOT!! You’re too short too him!!!”
“Beware man, I’m gonna kill you.”

“You won’t, you’re just a pathetic bitch. *hands over a packet of cocaine with a rabbit symbol on it* and now you’ve trashed my coke shop,” Rodrigo punches and kicks Tony. Tony spits out blood and it dripped from his bandana covering his mouth and nose. His shades breaks into pieces revealing his eyes.

“who the fuck wears sunglasses at night?” Rodrigo and his men laughs. Tony ends up on the ground trying to get up. A bullet flew through the window and killed one of the men, slowly it killed 3 more and Alice came crashing through the window. Beating down some of the men with her rifle. She then got overpowered and falls to the ground.

“Pass me the stick!!!” Tony instructs Alice.
“What!???”

“The stick next to you!!!” Alice passes the stick to Tony that was lying against the wall next to her. Tony grabs the stick which was 6 ½ feet long. Tony used the stick to fight with the remaining men. Whacking them at their heads and knocking them off their feet, breaking their ribs. Rodrigo’s men brought Rodrigo out of the apartment as fast as they could. Alice got back up and threw grenades that were strap on a belt, pulls a pin from one of them and threw it into the middle of the room. Alice grabs Tony and jumps out of the window as the apartment explodes, killing the remaining men. On her way down, Tony glances at the exploding apartment, as he once again blacks out.

Tony wakes up in what it looks like a master bedroom. The room was beautifully decorated, LCD tv on the wall, white curtains, the bed sheets were soft so was the blanket. Kashmir as the room’s carpet. The toilet was like another room, he makes his way out onto the front porch, there was a red head woman sitting on the chair in her bathrobe, drinking what it looks like orange juice. Tony approaches her..

“Because of you I had to sleep on the couch,” says the woman as she turns around turns out to be Ms. Kelly.

“You’re Alice?” Tony pauses and made his way to the chair and had a sit.
“What the hell are you doing? Getting yourself killed?” asks Kelly.
“How did you know? And how did you know where I was?”
“I saw you sneak out the back of the ballroom, following Rodrigo to the apartment.”

Tony sighs.

“ You haven’t answer my first question yet. What are you doing this?”
“Of course is not for fighting crime and shit.”
“Then?”
“Rodrigo killed your niece. With his men too. They raped her. I know its, him cause I remember his face. I saw it that night.”

“Fucking what? Are you certain!!??”
“Yes I am.”
“Why the dress up?”
“Unlike you I want to have a life, this shit is only temporary. Once I kill him, it’s over.”
“You can’t do shit with the injury you have.”
“Screw it!”

Ms. Kelly brings Tony to the basement where it seems to be like her place where she stores her outfit and equipment and some weapons too. She shows Tony’s repaired outfit and his newly washed bandana that was supposedly covered in his own blood. Kelly gave Tony some weapons to go with as well, beretta handguns and explosives.

“How does these explosive work?” Asks Tony.
“Stick them on the wall, you can do so by even throwing at the wall, press the button on the remote and you have five seconds. Take a few,” Tony takes at least eight of them.

“Come here take a look at this,” Kelly shows the blue print of Rodrigo’s house and few more details.
“How did you get this? And why?”
“Let’s just say after last night, I called up some people and paid them to shut up. Those are my how’s and why~~ pay attention, Rodrigo’s house doesn’t have a big garden, it is shape like a Buddhist temple. Triangular, 5 floors. 1st floors is his first bodyguard, Fredo. Second, a bunch of henchmen with guns, third floor second bodyguard, Pedo. Fourth floor, Feillo and Pallakias. And fifth floor, Rodrigo himself.”

“Wait, this sounds too much like that Bruce Lee movie, where he had to fight bunch of henchmen from floor to floor.”
“You don’t say.”
“I know right.”
“He’s a big Bruce Lee fan, I suggest you better get ready to get your ass kicked.”

They both get their costume on, preparing to storm Rodrigo’s house.
“Ms. Kelly, errm~~ I mean Alice. I’m going alone.”
“Fuck no. That’s my niece too.”
“I know, but I need to do this, you be my back-up.”
“You better do your job,” Alice demands.
“How’s Ellie doing? In class or whatsoever.”
“Weren’t you with her always?”
“No, last she said she was with this guy.”

Tony picks up his cell and calls up Ellie. It was a long time till someone answers, it was a man’s voice. It was Rodrigo.

“Where’s Ellie?”
“Ellie can’t come to the phone right now. And this is? Ah~ Tony. I’ll tell her you called.”

Tony hangs up.

“We’ve got to get there. FAST!!”

Tony arrives there, in his outfit, there were few people outside the house loitering around. He loads both of his handguns and uses them both to kill those outside. The door to the main entrance closes. As Tony enters, there he was, Fredo. Fredo tells Tony to choose a weapon that was on displayed. Tony chooses the 6 feet long rattan stick. Fredo chooses a sword. They begin their fight on the spot. They both put on a good fight, improvising weapon and fists and kicks. Blocks and evasion. Both got bruised and cuts at places they were hit at. After a while, Tony was lucky enough to get one critical strike to the side of the head and gave some repeating hits towards the head and body of Fredo where in the end Fredo’s neck broke by the impact of the kick given by Tony. Tony lays down his stick and proceeded to the next level. The door entering the next floor is a floor door, as if entering an attic. Tony lifted the door up a little bit to see there was at least 10 to 15 men in the room, armed with guns, swords and blunt objects. Tony prepares his handguns and sub-machine guns. He swings the door open, and start firing at whosoever was in his line of fire. He was able to gun down 3 of them, injuring 2 as he runs behind the pillar for cover.

          All the remaining henchmen were able to fire at was the pillar Tony taking cover at. As they reloaded Tony shoots at them with everything his got. Three down seven to go. He throws away his handguns as it empties out and replace it with another two. Two of the henchmen attack from the front, he shoots them off, one jumps onto him from behind, there was a struggle, he elbows the man and open fires at him. Four to go. Pedo and Feillo comes down from the floor above to aid the henchmen and sees all the dead bodies as they got there.

“Fifteen men can’t beat one man!!!???” Feillo angers.

Pedo, Feillo and the remaining four henchmen group up and start searching around for Tony. One henchman approaches one of the pillar, and found nothing. Tony from the pillar next to it whistles and fires at the man’s head. Running towards the fallen henchmen, Tony grabs him and uses him as shield as he was fired at whilst walking to the stairs leading to the upper floor. Tony gets near enough, he shoves the dead henchman to the remaining live henchmen and shoots at them and made sure they’re dead. As Tony walks to the stairs leading to the next door.

“Freeze and hands up! Asshole!,” says Pedo from behind pointing the gun towards Tony’s head. Feillo went in front and points it at Tony’s forehead. Tony with nothing to lose and not afraid of dying swerves to the right and overpowers Pedo and fires his gun to Feillo. Tony forces Pedo’s hand towards his mouth, pointing the gun as well in the process. And pulls the trigger. Pedo and Feillo are dead. Tony enters the third floor and making his way to the fourth where Palakias is waiting for him.

“Welcome.”
“Let’s get to it.”
“Whoa hold on there. I do things differently. I always have honor in what I do.” Says palakias.
“So~ what do you want?”
“Ever heard of Russian Roulette?”
“Puts one bullet in a Revolver and spin the bullet chamber around and pull the trigger. And, if the bullet is parallel with  the chamber. You’re dead.”

“Very smart. Let’s begin.” Pallakias steps in front of Tony and loads both Revolver in front of Tony with a bullet in each gun and spins the bullet chamber. Gives Tony the Revolver and they both point it at each others head.

They both pull the trigger. Nothing happen. Just clicks.

“ So what means of business do you have with my boss?” Ask Pallakias.
“ Personal matter.”
“ So this is revenge?”
“ I prefer the word avenge better.” Tony pulls the trigger first, nothing happens again. Pallakias waits for a moment and pulls the trigger too. Nothing happen.

“ Do you remember months ago?”
“ Remember? There is nothing to remember.”
“ At a house, where you and your band boys and your boss.. raped a girl?” Palakias pulls the trigger nothing happen again.

“ I think I remember now,” Says Palakias as Tony pulls the trigger, nothing happen as well.
“ Two more chances left. Anyway, so you do remember huh?” Asks Tony.
“ Let me guess, you’re the girl’s man. Who got knocked out by Pedo while my boss rapes your girl.”
“ That’s the one,” Tony pulls the trigger firing the gun and killing the man. With a sigh of relief, Tony falls on his knees catching his breath.

Tony finally makes his way to the fifth and last floor. Where Rodrigo is waiting for him, staring at the door as it opens and enters Tony. Tony looks around and sees Ellie got tied up. Her hands and her legs. She couldn’t move, she was placed on Rodrigo’s table. Sitting on it. Her mouth was also stuffed. Tony signals her telling her to calm down, doing so she still does not know the mysterious man under the bandana is Tony.

“So~ Criss Angel I suppose?” says Rodrigo.
“I’m not Criss Angel.”
“That’s what you always say I’m guessing?”
“Enough talk. Let’s get this done and over with.” Says Tony.
“Get ready to die.”

They both got into their fighting stance. Moving closer and closer to each other slowly. Tony threw the first punch and Rodrigo was able to evade and kick him in the gut. Rodrigo punches and connects with Tony’s face on the left side. Tony tries to punch him on the right he evades to the right, swung his arms to the right to where Rodrigo evaded he misses again. Shows that Rodrigo was fast and in tip top shape. Rodrigo kicks Tony in  the leg bringing him down to one knee, and kicks him at the chin Tony fell backwards. Tony goes on lying on his stomach, he throws the explosives all around the floor, Rodrigo did not notice it as his back was towards Tony as he walks to the window. After throwing all the explosives, he dials his cell.

“Now,” Tony instructs.

“You know, since I don’t know who you really are. I’ll just call you Mr. Angel. Can I call you Mr. Angel?” Rodrigo asks as Tony was in silence.

“Listen here. I just don’t know what is your problem with me. Whoever you really are. I don’t even fucking know you, and you’re starting a war with me? As Rodrigo was talking to Tony, an army of  at least 30 henchmen enters the entrance below making their way up to the fifth floor.

Rodrigo continues talking.

“Starting a war for no reason with me is a big fucking mistake. I don’t care who you are, I’m going to hunt you and your family down.”

Tony stands up and removes his shades and bandana and runs towards Ellie who was on the table.

“YOU!!! Says Rodrigo.. as he remembers Tony clearly now.
“Where are you running too?” Tony runs towards Ellie and grabs her off the table and runs towards the window.
“You’re not heading anywhere, crashing through the glass will only kills yourself!!” says Rodrigo as the 30 henchmen reaches the floor.

Tony and Ellie crashes through the window as a rope ladder appears from a chopper above. Tony grabs onto it. As the chopper flies away a few feet away Tony presses the button on the remote. 5 seconds the floor explodes with Rodrigo and all the henchmen in it. The building collapsed. The chopper flew to an open field, letting Tony and Ellie off the ladder and the chopper lands not far away from them. Turns out to be Alice piloting.

“Tony, you’re Criss Angel?” as Tony unties Ellie.
“For the last time, I’m not.”
“Say hi to Alice by the way.” Alice approaches and removes her mask.
“Ms. Kelly?”
“It’s complicated,” answers Ms. Kelly.
“Where did you get the chopper?”
“Stole it from the hospital. C’mon we’ve got to go, before they track us.” Tony and Ms. Kelly changes their clothes by just putting their street clothes over their costume.

“The bus, hurry.” Says Tony.
“You’re pathetic.” Ms. Kelly commands.

Tony and Ms. Kelly sends Ellie home. Was greeted by Ellie’s family after the knock on the door. Hugs and kisses were given to everyone for the safe return. Ms. Kelly just explained plainly that she and Tony went to the man Ellie was dating and brought her back. No questions asks. That night, Tony goes to his backyard, light up the fire.

“Sure you want to do that?” asks Ms. Kelly from behind.
“*Tony holds his costume* yes.”
“Thought we’d make a good team,” Ms. Kelly walks besides Tony.
“No regrets.” Tony gives a smile to Ms. Kelly and throws his costume into the fire.

The next morning, Tony visits Julie’s grave. He kneels down and cleans some stains off it, places the flowers he bought. Before he leaves, he places the Criss Angel bandana she gave him on top of her tombstone. He turns around and walks away, enjoying the cold breeze blowing to his face.
