The young man could not believe that when he entered the kitchen he would meet a man who seemed to be having a good sleep. Didn't he hear the commotion created by those who were inside before? When he approached him, the man had a headset plugged into his ear and could hear loud music coming from there. So James thought that might be the reason why he couldn't hear the noises before. He approached him and tapped him a few times but each time he tapped the other, the man just wiped his hand. To the annoyance of the young man, he dropped a large pot next to him, which resulted in the latter turning over and stand from his seat.
He is as tall as he is and their age isn't apart either. The man in front of him wore jeans pants and a blue polo shirt. When the man spoke in another language he realized that he was not from there. He hadn't been able to speak longer to him yet when suddenly something rained bullets around them, they both bowed and the latter spoke again while looking at him. He almost laughed when he said that he didn't want to die yet. Although he understood what he was saying, he didn't make the other notice, thus he asked him if he knew how to speak in Tagalog which the latter confirmed by saying that he does. And if they weren't in that situation he might have blocked it, who is a sensible person to ask for that thing. A few seconds later the gunfire stopped and they could feel the footsteps from outside the building
James pulled out his gun that was in the holster sticking on his leg. He didn't know why he thought of offering his gun to the other, as if he hadn't even thought of the danger it would pose to him. Although the man replied that he knew how to use a gun, he refused and to his surprise pulled out one of the drawers next to it which contained various types of knives. They are new and gifts to him so that's how he takes care of them and he doesn't use them even if a lot of people have passed by. So he was about to protest when he suddenly heard the door open behind him and a big man entered from the back of the building. At the same time as he turned around, he was about to point the gun at the newcomer when he saw him falling with a knife pierced on his chest. He turned his gaze back to the young man he was talking to, but he just shrugged and motioned for him to enter the bar.
They entered the counter of the bar while bending down. When they were in the middle they heard Mauricio shout.
'You didn't learn aren't you' James just said in his mind.
He knew the other was not alone wherever he stood right now. When he was told to come out of his hiding place, he almost laughed at his partner's reaction when he complained. But what can he do? Some of Mauricio's men had already seen him and he had even killed one of his men, he was sure that they would not allow the man to get out of here alive. He just shook his head when the young man went in the other direction and he could see how the big man closed to him and threw him off the counter. James moved quickly and even before he could pick up the young man again, he had already hit the bottle that was one of his displays there. When the man fell, James seemed to have his knee softened after knowing what wine he had chosen to hit the man with. Because that wine was a gift to him by one of the rich couple aging customers at that bar, the 'DALMORE 62'. But then he would charge Mauricio about it
He held out his hand to help the young man stand up. But as soon as he stood up, Mauricio and his men immediately appeared before them. And when they both heard the go signal that Mauricio gave to his men he quickly pulled out his gun that was at his side and fired at some of the latter's men. Although they were at a disadvantage, James did not think of it. Whether he was killed or at least he still gave a fight. But he also didn't expect the trick of the young man next to him, because he also knew that the other two of Mauricio's staff had a knife in their hands. The remaining one of Mauricio's companions who was supposed to shoot at them seemed scared and lowered his gun, while Mauricio was already at the door and about to run away.
'A coward' James said to himself.
At the same time, Mauricio shouted because of the knife thrown at him. Slowly he came back to his previous position because of the command of the young man beside him. He couldn't blame him and he might not even stop him if the young man even thought of killing the person in front of them. Who wouldn't be angry that he just delivered the other's belongings and was even involved, what if he died there? And when Mauricio told him that the reason for his attack on them was because of his girlfriend who broke up with him and he blamed him, it seemed like he wanted to shoot the latter in the head so that everything would end.
Indeed, he didn't steal the other's girlfriend. And he didn't even like her either. He was shocked when the woman suddenly appeared wherever he was. That same woman is the reason why he was almost left behind by the people he delivered their orders to before their flight to another country, even in her haste he was even spilled with coffee when he collided with a man while he ran away just to avoid the woman.
As the young man approached the door, James suddenly thought to call him again just to ask his name. The reason? He didn't know either, and when the young man mentioned his name he was suddenly taken aback. He didn't know, but there seemed to be something strange about what he's feeling.
Mauricio took advantage of his momentary stupor until the young man left, but he did not expect what happened, blood was flowing from his head.
