The Mask Guy
Chapter fifty (50)
A scapegoat
“ how I don't understand “ ray said
“Back then while I was in school there was this small building at my uncle’s warehouse. The building was built separately and no one was allowed to go in and because bushes were surrounding the building everyone thought it was an abandoned project and here in Mexico my uncle still have the same building at his warehouse with the same instruction and out of curiosity I went inside one day .what is inside the room of this video is exactly what i saw in there that day .
“ so what are you saying “ ray asked
“Cassy is definitely in that small building close to my uncle's warehouse” fred said rushing upstairs.
Few minutes later fred returned to the sitting room then fred and ray quickly rushed out.
Mr paul saw terminator smoking cigarette when he got to the building
“What if that girl escape while you are here smoking a cigarette “ mr Paul asked
“ then she must be a ghost because apart from this door, there is no other escape rout not even a window “ terminator said
Mr Paul smiled then walked inside
He didn't make a mistake when all the walls were cemented leaving just a small door so none of their victim can escape.
“ hello” mr Paul said on seeing how cassy was tied to the bed
Cassy opened her eyes which was close when she had a voice and the voice was no other person than mr paul’s .
“I thought you have a way out of my strikes when you dared me “ mr Paul said walking towards the bed.
“You think you can hurt me and go scot free? You won't. just wait and see how fred is going to bring you to your doom “ Cassy said then spat on his face.
Mr Paul was greatly angered by that. He took out a knive from his pocket then stabbed cassy on her right shoulder .
Cassy let out a loud, painful scream as blood gush out from her right shoulder
“How dare you “ he said undoing the ropes she was tied with.
After untying her, cassy kicked him so hard on his abdomen.
Not expecting the kick he staggered backward .
Groaning in pain .seeing that cassy was running towards the door he quickly took out a pistol from his pant's pocket then shot towards the door .
Cassy screamed as the gun hit her thigh then she fell on the floor .
“Ahh you will pay dearly for this you will rot in jail “ cassy said holding her thigh .
“ you keep threatening yet you haven't done anything “ mr Paul said with so much scorn in his tone.
Fred and ray pulled over outside the warehouse then hurried towards the small building
But stopped When they heard a gunshot followed by a painful scream.
“ I was right ray cassy is in that building “ fred whispered
“ we should call the police “ ray said
“You do that I will go in to save cassy” fred said running off before ray could stop him
“ you are so stubborn “ ray murmured then rush back to where their car was parked .
Terminator was observing the surrounding when he saw a figure walked into the small building.
Curious to know the person,terminator hurried into the small building.
When he got inside he saw fred squatting beside cassy who was beside the bed with her bleeding shoulder and thigh.
“ you shouldn't have come “ cassy said in tears
“ don't say that cassy you are here in the first place because of me “ fred said hugging her
“ Fredrick Paul my little nephew “ mr Paul said laughing sarcastically .
“You will pay for this I promise “ fred said furiously
“You little kids keep threatening me!” mr Paul yelled punching fred on the face .
Mr Paul isn't that old so he was still strong and fit.
So when he punched Fred his cheek turned red .
“ I trusted and respected you but what did I get in return? You were the one behind all my pains yet you don’t feel any remorse instead you are still bent on doing more evil “ Fred said rubbing his cheeks .
“You are paying for all the maltreatment , pain , loneliness and everything I went through in The hands of my mother all because of your father “ mr Fred said
“‘And you think that’s right ? If you had any problem with my father why are you making me pay why dont you go sort it out with your brother “ fred asked with a cracked voice .
He felt more hurt finding out that he had been going through all this pain just because of what ever happened between his father and his uncle in the past
“ I don't regret making you the scapegoat my only regret is not ending your life a long time a go “ mr Paul replied
“Cassy so am the scapegoat here I have been going through all this because of my father” fred said with a cracked voice
“It's nice that you are aware now that ,you are being punished for the errors of your father “ mr Paul said rushing towards fred and Cassy .
Raising his hand, he was about stabbing fred when Cassy hugged fred and the knife dug into her back .
“ cassy!” fred screamed
“ just be save for me “Cassy said weakly
“No please wake up “ fred shouted .
Mr Paul staggered backward he didn't expect cassy to take the knife for fred
He just wanted to give fred a little cut and now the knife was stuck on her back with Blood pouring out .he had killed a lot of people but seeing that knife stuck at her back sent shiver down his spine as he was used to killing with a gun.
“ you will be fine I promise “ that was the only voice cassy could hear as everywhere became blurry. She tried keeping her eyes opened but the amount of blood she lost on her shoulder , thigh and now her back was so much that she passed out.
“ No! “ fred screamed immediately he saw cassy close her eyes .
“Surrender now this building has been surrounded by the police “ a voice was heard
As the door was the only entrance to the room, mr Paul and fred couldn't escape .
A few police rushed in. Mr Paul and terminator were arrested at gun point while ray helped fred who was carrying cassy up .
“ call the ambulance “ fred shouted
“ I already did they are on the way “ ray said
“ you already did “ fred asked
“ yes I figured out since I've been hearing painful scream that you guys were hurt “ ray said
“ thank you “fred said
Running out carrying cassy .
