★{THE EXPLOSION~THEIR DEATH!}★
He took his hand to his face…. slowly pulling off the mask….
He was pulling it off slowly…
But steady.
The moment he was done pulling it off, his face came to view.
“Le.. lewis!!”She staggered back shockingly and lewis smiled.
“How..how.. did..you.. you’re… alive?”She asked again and lewis smiled more.
“Your eyes are perfectly fine,I guess!”He replied and black smirked.
He checked his time watch and smiled again.
“The time is slowly approaching!”He mumbled.
“How did you make it? and how did you know the way to thunder’s room?!”smile blinked.
••••
A black tinted glass car pulled to a halt few meters away from the den.
Immediately the dens gate slide open and thunder drove off roughly with the exact car which stopped few meters away from the den.
Lewis immediately whined down his window and smiled crookly as he kept staring at the car which was slowly driving out of sight.
He waited outside for extra thirty minutes so he won’t be suspected.
He opened his bag and brought out the human face mask (exactly thunder’s face).
He smirked before sliding in his face in the mask.
The moment he was done,he looked himself on the mirror and a gasp left his mouth… there’s no difference,not even the slightest.
“Sparrow is the real deal..woah!”He gushed and ignited back the car to life before driving towards the den’s gate.
°°°
<INSIDE THE DEN>
Lewis who is posed as thunder opened the car door and staggered out.
“Eish…ah!!”He faked a puke and threw up immediately.
A guard ran towards him.
“Boss… you’re drunk.. you..”Before he could complete his statement, lewis fell in his arm and secretly injected him.
“Lead the way to thunder’s room now!”he whispered and the guard nodded while he smiled.
The guard led the way while he followed from behind, trying so well to act as thunder.
Cold, dangerous,not responding to the greetings and not smiling.
“Here is your room boss!”The guard said foolishly the moment he stopped at thunder’s door and lewis patted his shoulder.
“Good job,now turn around and leave!”He said and the guard nodded before turning around and leaving.
Lewis smiled before pushing the door open.
••••
“You..you..did all that?”Smile stuttered after the whole revelation.
“What about his scent?? How did you know his spray? The cologne wasn’t different!”She added and lewis laughed.
“Have you forgotten he was once close to me? The day he shot me was the day I figured out his spray..so I caught him in his own game!”He replied and smile’s eyes popped out of the socket.
“Why pulling all this act?”She asked with her eyes still widened.
“Am ready to do anything just for money!”He smirked and smile’s eyes widened more to the extent of falling out.
“Mon…money? Don’t tell me you’re selling me to this old wacko!”Smile stuttered, referring to black as the old wacko.
“Black!! Old wacko!”Black chuckled.
He would have hit her right now for calling him an old wacko,but his client already gave a warning not to touch a strand of her hair..
So he’s gonna chill.
“It would even be better my boss takes you cos…”
“You’re gone lewis!! Thunder is coming for me”she replied and lewis smirked be facing her.
“That’s only if he is going to make it on time cos soon your….”He stopped talking and smiled which got smile furrowing her brows.
“Why are you doing this? Thought you loved me?”
“Exactly! You thought and can I tell you something please,I never loved you..I can’t love you and I don’t see myself falling in love with someone like you!”He replied and smile blinked.
Is this the same lewis she knew before?
Or someone else?
“What nonsense are you sprouting?”she asked angrily.
“He finally arrived!”Lewis smiled and black smirked which got smile looking at the gate.
Five luxurious cars drove into the compound.
The moment the cars screeched to a halt,one of the guards rushed out with an umbrella.
He went to the third car and opened the passengers door,a well back polished shoe was what came to view first before the dangerous face of the fearful drug lord in Spain was revealed.
The guard immediately raised the umbrella, covering him with it… thou it wasn’t raining.
That’s how much he is respected and treated.
He had a long weed in his hand and he’s dressed in black.
Smile’s heart flee to her stomach immediately he saw the face.
She’d rather stay with thunder than this monster who just came down from the car.
Isn’t he old enough to be her father?
All the guards came down from the cars too, they’re also dressed in black.
Black suit thou.
“Baby!!”The man called walking to smile and just when he was about taking another step.
The heard sounds of bullet.
The man turned swiftly and met four of his men down already.
“Lewis…protect!”Black shouted before taking hold of smile’s hand dragging her away.
Lewis meant to go to the man but an unknown bullet rammed in his stomach causing him to halt on his steps.
Black also stopped running with smile and they all turned back.
He slowly looked at his stomach which was bleeding and looked up but didn’t see anyone.
Who is behind the bullet?
“This isn’t what I planned for!”The man mumbled looking around.
“Don’t be a coward and show your face!”Black screamed but another bullet flee and rammed in Lewis heart.
More blood flowed and his knee gradually gave up.
Black started darting his eyes round in fear not knowing what to do!
Who is behind the bullet?
He might take a step and then get shot…he might stay and get shot also.
“Show your face if you aren’t a coward!”Black yelled again.
“Surrendered!! I never planned for this!”The man finally spoke up, raising his two hands up and everyone exchanged looks.
“Drop your weapons now!”He commanded his men and they slowly lowered their weapons before raising up their hands.
Immediately,thunder and his men covered the vicinity.
“Thunder!”Smile smiled but frowned immediately she saw her mom.
“Smile…”
“Theresa…”
Smile’s mom called while the man called her.
Theresa turned and her face darkened at who she saw.
This was the least person she expected to see.
“Panko…”
“Theresa…”
Everyone stood confused staring at them.
“What the hell do you want from us?haven’t you done enough?”Theresa yelled in tears.
“Theresa I can explain…”
“Keep the f-__-king explanation to yourself… what do you want from us!?”She yelled again.
“Us??..do you know him?”Smile asked slowly and her mom nodded.
“Am dying Theresa!”Panko said and Theresa scoffed.
“Then why haven’t you died? Just f-__-king die already cos I h@?? you!”
“My last wish…wanted to see our daughter!”He said and everyone’s eyes widened in shock.
“Smile is panko’s daughter?”They stuttered in shock.
“So you can ki|| her… have you forgotten how you’ve always wanted to get rid of her even when she was still a festus?”She yelled.
“I wanted Theresa but…but..I found out lately that I had cancer of the heart and am in the last stage.. please,just let me hold her once in my arms!”He pleaded again.
“Mom..you sold me out to thunder to protect me from him?”Smile asked slowly and Theresa nodded.
“Then what about the ill treatment! You treated me like…”
“I wanted to make you h@?? me,so that once you’re with thunder..you won’t wanna come back to me!”Theresa shouted in tears.
“Smile…”Lewis called weakly.
“f-__-king keep shut idiot!! You wanted me to die right?”
“No..I…was….”His eyes closed and his body went limb.
He gave up immediately.
Everyone stood transfixed in their spot..not knowing what to do.
°°°
<30 MINUTES LATER ~OUTSKIRTS>
Thunder slowly came down from his car..he came alone with smile.
He got a message earlier, telling him to come with smile alone..the address was also attached to the message.
Smile rubbed his hands softly and he nodded.
“Here is…”
“Shhh!! You risked your life for me,I don’t mind doing same!”Smile cut him off and he nodded before walking in with her.
•••
<INSIDE THE ROOM>
Smile and thunder slowly entered and met everywhere dark.
Smile hugged his arm tight,while he heart continued beating fastly.
Just when they wanted to take a step,the neon light came on.
They saw someone tied to a chair…her skins brutally damaged.
The girl slowly looked up and thunder immediately let go of smile’s hand.
“Diamond….”
“Michael……”
“Diamond..it’s you?”He smiled out tears and began walking to her.
“No.. don’t come close!”The girl muttered weakly but Thunder didn’t hear her.
“Michael don’t take a step!!”
“Thunder..”Smile called and thunder turned swiftly.
“Let me go!!”Smile struggled to break free from the hold of the guy holding her.
“f-__-king let go!”He snorted and tried walking to them.
“Take a step and your sister is gone!”The guy said raising a remote to him.
He turned and saw a bomb attached to his sister’s chair (the one she’s tied on).
“Who are you and what do you want?”Thunder asked slowly.
The guy smiled before removing his hood completely and thunder staggered back in shock while smile’s mouth flee open.
“Zach!!”
“Yeah Zach!”he smiled
“This isn’t the Zach I know right!?”Smile asked and Zach chuckled.
“Well you turned me this way! You kept choosing him..over and over again but what did you do with me? You pushed me away smile! You choose a monster instead of an angel!”He replied darkly.
“You’re the real monster here!”Smile yelled.
“No doubts..I know already!”He replied.
“And what do you want from us!”Thunder asked.
“I want smile”He replied.
“You’ve….”
“You can’t even stop me cos you’re dying with your sister!”He said and shot him on the leg making him fall immediately.
“Ah…”
“Thunder…”
“Micheal..”
“Zach what are you doing?? f-__-king let me go!”Smile shouted in tears trying to break free from Zach’s hold.
“Don’t shout too much cos you’re mine now!”Zach said and began dragging her with him.
“No…Zach.. he’s bleeding!! f-__-king let go!”
Thunder tried to stand up but fell down immediately.
He turned to his sister and his eyes widened in shock.
“20 seconds left?”He screamed and began crawling to his sister.
“Thunder…Zach I h@?? you!!”Smile cried bitterly while Zach continued dragging her away.
“Smile!!!”Thunder called immediately he saw it was 10 seconds left and he still wasn’t close to the sister.
There’s no hope anyways.
He better say this now or die with it.
smiled turned shaking her head in tears and thunder smiled bitterly.
“I love you….”
They both said at a time.
Thunder smiled, knowing that she feels same for him..
If he’s going to die now,he’s definitely going to be at peace cos he told her about his feelings thou he couldn’t say it the right way.
At least,the word “I love you” is okay than not saying it at all
And knowing she feels the same! What more could he ask for?
He’s definitely going to rest in peace if this is what fate has for him.
They continued staring at each other in tears till Zach finally dragged her out of the room.
The moment they where out,he began running with her while she kept crying trying to break free.
Immediately they ran few meters away from the house, everything exploded.
With thunder and her sister inside.
The force of the explosion threw smile and Zach on the ground.
“Thunder!!!!!!!!!!”
