Waiting patiently, Niles began a countdown to the seconds she picks up the phone and at the sound of her labored breathing, his throat constricted and he was about to ask how she was doing when he heard,
“Don’t come here, Niles! It’s not your fault! I don’t blame -!” And then she was caught short abruptly.
Niles heard a scuffle and unmistakably, the sound of a kick. His blood ran cold, there was no way that was Reina being kicked, right? However, he knew the answer deep down in his soul even before Reina cried out in pain.
“What did you do to her?!” Niles couldn’t control himself anymore as he screamed into the phone, “Did you hit her you asshole!” he was so angry, that it wouldn’t be surprising anymore if molten lava was flowing through his veins instead of blood.
“What do you think?” Miguel chuckled mockingly, “This is just the beginning,” He was taunting him.
Miguel was forcing his hand and he sure as hell was going to show him why the Sparks family was feared. He – Niles – might be good but he had Adam’s blood flowing through his veins and his father was the epitome of cruelty. Beneath his beautiful, lurid character, was a monster waiting to be let loose and he would do just so for Miguel. It was a promise. Once he gets his hand on him.
Another scream of agony from Reina told him the son of a bastard was still torturing her.
“Stop it! I said stop it!” he bellowed into the phone yet the bastard wasn’t close to ending it. Sakuzi and the others watched him with a concerned look yet none attempted to snatch the phone from him.
“So tell me, how does it feel to lose a loved one?” Miguel taunted him as he kept on doing whatever he was doing to Reina that was hurting her.
May God help him if he finds as much as a scar on her body. His death would be gruesome more than the tortures he gave her.
But then, something happened and all Niles knew was that he heard Isabella’s voice and the line went dead.
“Hello? Hello?!” He yelled into the phone but got no response, “Shit! Fuck it!” he cursed as he tried the line once more.
“What is it? What’s going on?” Sakuzi was the first to demand an answer. Niles knew the man was worried – even though he hid his emotions well – for his daughter just as he was.
“Doesn’t look good,” Niles shook his head just as he placed a call to Judy who picked up at the first ring.
“Niles,”
“How is it going, any progress?”
“Yes. It was tough but the technicians were smart enough to discover the bomb was less susceptible to gunfire. Hence, they shot at the package with a special ammunition that smacked the bomb in such a way that it broke apart without going off. So you don’t have to worry, we’re making our move right now,” Judy assured him and from his labored breathing, Niles could sense he was on the move.
“I need you to do something for me,” Niles requested.
“What is it?”
“No matter what, keep him alive by all means possible,”
Even without a name, Judy didn’t need to be told who he was referring to Miguel. He sighed, at this point, Miguel better wish for death. One doesn’t have to kill to be a monster, people bring out the monster in them. Underneath Niles’ warm exterior, was a cold, ruthless, killer. In his hands, Miguel would be so tormented his soul might not even move to the afterlife – Niles would burn even his soul.
Suddenly a gunshot went off
“What was that? Tell me that was your men. ” Niles had heard it from the other line.
“No, that’s not them. We just barely entered and haven’t even gotten into the living room where they’re being… Oh boy,” Judy froze, ” I’ll call you back when we’re done,” He ended the call immediately.
Niles’ blood chilled, that couldn’t have been Reina, right? Somebody should tell him that bastard did not just shoot his wife.
“I need to leave now! “,
The third point of view:
Everything happened so quickly that Miguel couldn’t comprehend what was going on until he saw his men dancing? However, in reality, they were not dancing – although it looked that way- but trying to grab the creatures on their body.
Mr. Smuff aka Neon’s home-trained soldier mouse was relentless in his attack as he climbed into the men’s shirt and continued to explore other areas of his body. The man yelped, searching hysterically for the mouse that made him squeamish and uncomfortable – he had to get rid of the disgusting little creature.
The other man was also left in a similar position. Not only did the spider bite him but it traveled to his lungs, its movements tickling him.
Miguel upon realizing the tide has changed and that it was as a result of the kids, changed his mind immediately. The kids were too dangerous to be kept alive else they foil his plan. He decided to switch from plan A to B; he had to kill them.
His hand traveled down to his waistband and pulled out a gun which he focused on the most lethal kid – Isabella. Unfortunately, Reina saw through his plan, and just when he was about to pull the trigger, she kicked the gun out of his grasp.
Miguel turned to her with furious eyes, “You bitch!” he raged and tried to hit her but Reina dodged him this time, albeit with difficulty – she had to get her arm treated.
One of Miguel’s men finally got his hands on the spider tormenting his life. He pulled it away from his chest forcefully and tossed it against the wall.
“You idiot!” The man then pulled out his gun and from frustration, aimed to shoot at poor Allen.
Jean hardly recovered from the laser attack from the robot when he looked around and from the corner of his eye caught one of his men about to shoot at the little boy. Call it instincts or something, but the instant he saw that scene, Jean’s hands went to his gun and before he knew it, shot at his partner.
A?man’s pained groan was next heard as he was shot in the chest and died at the spot instantly.
Everyone was shocked by the turn of events. Heck, Jean didn’t even realize he pulled the trigger until the shock wore off seconds later. All he knew was that when his partner had tried to harm the child, a protective feeling rose in his chest and he knew that moment that he couldn’t allow the child to die. So he did the rightful thing – even if it meant going against his own people.
Isabella who had planned to go help out her mother halted in her footsteps when she heard that gunshot and turned to Jean with wide eyes. Did he just kill one of his own people for them?
As if testing the waters to ensure he was completely on their side, she asked him, “What happened to the favor you were obligated to pay?”
But Jean said itself, “You got it wrong, it’s a little niece,”
For the time ever, Isabella had no clue what he was saying and was about to ask for details when it clicked in her head – she had previously asked if he had a family around their – the kids – age. Isabella boomed a smile at him, he was on their side.
The other guy being harassed by Mr Smuff was finally roused from his “melodrama” when his partner fell to the ground and died. His eyes widened and turned to Jean, unbelieving, “H-how could you?”
And then, as if a scale was finally taken off his eyes, the pissed-off hitman went into full business mode. He reached out from behind and caught Mr. Smuff, who attempted to escape once again but was unable to under the man’s tight grip.
With a curse unsuitable for kids age, the man bought out his gun and fired it straight at the damn thing, blasting its head off.
“No!!” Neon shrieked, unable to save his mouse on time. The boy, froze for a minute dramatically – which was actually a few seconds in reality – unable to process what just happened, and then fell on his knees.
