Chapter 5 - A Friend’s Betrayal

When he was 10 years old his father suddenly came home covered in blood. I was shocked when I saw him like that. He came to me and said "I was robbing diamonds from the country's richest man with my best friend(Uncle whom I met on my 9th birthday). But I never knew my friend was making his own calculations.

Once I had successfully got the diamonds my friend informed the owner of the house who was waiting in the secret room. I looked at my friend and asked what this was all about. He told me that he made a bet with the owner that you can break any locks, security systems and reach the diamonds. I just looked at him and said you never should have done it.

The owner approached us with 10 men and we were surrounded. The owner looked and said" You really astound me I'm happy to see that there are people who can really break any security no matter how much tight it is, It made me realize that my security is not perfect and also made me angry at the incompetent fools who you had passed through."

He looked at my friend and said benjamin you won the bet. I'll give you $10 million with a hideous smile. He took out his gun and shot benjamin, and turned towards me and started laughing.

"Are you not afraid that I'll shoot you." I just looked at him and said I'm already surrounded there is no way I can escape without getting shot.

The owner looked at my face and told "I don't want my reputation to go bad as It would look bad when people talk about how I was robbed in spite of tight security. I'll give you a chance work for me and help me in robbing the people I want you to rob. I'll give you salary and you can also take a part of the items which you rob. I already heard from benjamin about your place and that you have a very bright kid who is also a very good robber like you. I'm expecting great things from you. Let me remind you I don't like being told 'NO'."

"I started laughing while looking at him and threw the smoke bomb. They started firing, I placed the diamond bag as a shield and started looking for exit. I got shot on my shoulder and leg. I took my gun and started firing back. The bag with diamonds broke and they started falling one by one.

I was only left with a sparkling ruby which was broken in half because of the bullet. I ran frantically and reached home. Go! I don't think I can hold on much longer with the blood loss. Take this ruby with you and escape through our underground passage."

I heard sounds of lots of cars coming and people started firing directly, windows broke with the hail of bullets. We were behind the sofa which was made of steel.

My Father looked at me one last time and told me to remember one thing " Never easily trust anyone no matter how close they are to you. They may have their own weaknesses which will burden them to give you out. Read people and their minds don't always think with emotions."

People broke inside the door and started firing, my father threw a smoke bomb and took out a gun from the cabinet and started firing back. I looked back and my father started shouting to run.

I ran towards the underground passage behind the stairs. While running a bullet hit my leg, it hurt so bad but I thought of my father who got more than 5 bullet holes. I jumped into the underground passage and closed the way.

After walking for 5 meters I pulled the lever which opened a hidden passage on the right while the passage in front was illuminated. I took some cotton from the first aid kit in the passage and threw it behind me after staining it with blood. This will convey people that I have already tied the wound.

I went into the passage on the left where there is food for 10 days and a small steel pipe which could fit one adult was connected to the underground drainage.
