Chapter 12 - 12.No Way Out!!

After walking a while I understood not everything in the movie is false, there is some truth .I was seeing a police barricade in the intersection road infront of me.There was no need to tell why it was there. Its the most safe road to get out of this city.If there is a search even on this suburb road that means other road will be more difficult to cross.Either go this way or stay trapped here. I could understand I was losing controll of myself. My hypertension was coming back.I couldn't move from my position.So much happened and I didn't even have the time to think everything , running from one place to another.After seeing the police search I suddenly felt exhusted. Whats the point of doing all these?Saving world?Fighting evil? I am not a superhero,am I? So why the hell I am doing this? The most suitable thing to do now surrender and let them have their way. Its already a lost game . There's no point in holding onto this lost game. "Wh...what should I do?" I started to have a panic attack. I could already imagine my grave in a deserted place. My legs were trembling. I looked straight, every car, every passenger were being searched.I turned back and started walking.

I stopped and looked here and there, I could not think straight anymore.Rayan's men were behind and police were forth. I am trapped....

"No, I can't give up like that. There must be a way to get out of this." I started to think. Slowly a plan came into my mind. "That can work. Anyway, I don't have either time or option to think. I have to make it work."

I started to walk towards the market.Its risky but I need to go there. I got into a toy shop.

"Excuse me maam .How can I help you?"

"I want to buy some toys for my son. Can you suggest me something?"

"How old is he?"

"Seven years old."

"Well, maam we have many toys for that age.what do you think of rubic's cube?Its a brain storming toy."

"I think he will like it. Give me one. What else do you suggest?"

I bought some toys for my son.Among all these I bought what I needed.

A fake gun.

After buying prop I started looking for suitable actor to stage my drama and I got one shortly after.

A mother with a new born, who was sleeping peacefully.I quietly went behind her and pressed the gun on her waist.

"Don't scream, its a gun. Scream and your child will lose its mother."

It was my first time blackmailing someone, I tried to sound like a bitch but there was no one to assess my performance.

"What do you want?"

" Nothing much. Just a ride in your car."

"Who are you?"

"Don't ask.If you don't know then you can only blame yourself for not knowing the celebrity of century. Moreover ignorance is blessing, those who are curious die before first interval in a horror movie. So keep quiet. Now, get into your car."

She was scared. But she did as I said.

"There are police before us.You won't get away with...."

I suddenly snatched her child."What a lovely child. What is his/ her name?"

"Give me my child back!!"

"Name?"

"Silviya"

"Listen silviya's mother ,I told you not to talk too much .I don't like this.So as a punishment you will have to bear a temporary separation from your child, I am sorry about that. To get your child back you have to gain merit. Helping me get past the barricade will be your first mission. Untill then your child will be in my care."

"What I have to do?"

"Just stay calm and drive. When you get to the barricade if they take too long to search tell them you are in a hurry to get back home. Your child is sick at home ,alone.It's a simple task ,isn't it?"

"You are that criminal who killed her own mother, aren't you?"

"Congratulation! You won guess the thief game.Now drive. Don't talk too much.If I can kill my mother ,I can kill a child as well.Also don't even think of turning me to the police.I have done a lot of crime.Killing a baby won't differ so much. Now be ready to give a oscar winning performance. Drive!"

When she started driving, I started my work as well.They will obvioudly search the car. I hid under the passenger sit. There was a extra storage compartment. They will search the luggage compartment. I have to minimize the search time and get past the barricade before they notice this extra compartment.Time was the unknown variable in this equation and also the determiner.

She got near the barricade. I can hear her conversation with the police. They were checking the documents.Some other police went to search the luggage compartment. I was sweating very much. Every second was like a year. I was very lucky that silviya was sleeping. Otherwise it would be very impossible. I had to take silviya with me. Only by doing that I could ensure my safety."I am sorry silviya.Forgive me."

I could very well understand what her mother was going through.I had no choice.

When police were searching the passenger compartment I was praying so hard. I closed my eyes thinking that why the hell she doesn't say anything? Has she decided to betray me?At that time I heared her voice.

"Can you hurry?I have got a sick child alone at home. I can't stay here all day. All you know how to harrass people."

I heared her arguing with police. After that police gave the green signal and lift up the barricade. I let that breath out which I held inside so hard. She got into the car and started driving.

"Drive. Stay calm." I said to her. I said her to stay calm but my blood was boiling inside. After reaching a safe distance, I got out of that box.

"Give me your phone."

She gave me her phone with a trembling hand.She must be scared.

"What's your name?"

"G...Give me my child back!"

"She is safe.What's your name?"

"Lucia."

"I am sorry ,Lucia. I know you are very scared for your child, but I had no choice.If I had asked you to help me, what would you have done you think with a criminal?"

".....Calling the police."

"That's why I had no choice.I am sorry again."

She drived quietly for the next hour.If I am right ,we will meet next barricade in half an hour.Moreover , silviya was starting to wake up.

"Stop. Our journey ends here.Get out of the car."

"What?"

"Get out of the car." I gestured her with gun.

She got out of the car. "Please, leave this car.My husband worked so hard to buy this. He will be heartbroken if something happens to it."

"What do think ,your husband will choose between his child and his car?"

"What! W..What do you mean by that?"

"Nothing. I have no plan to damage this. Go back to the police with your own two feet and report everything. You will get your car back. Now ,here is your child. Sorry, silviya once again. Goodbye, I hope we don't meet again."

"Can I ask you a question?"

"What ?"

"Did you really kill your mother and all those people?"

"No ,I didn't. Anything else?"

"No."

"Then start walking .You have to walk a long way."

I started driving, when I looked back I saw her waving her hands.

"Does she believe me?"

I didn't know. But this small action suddenly gave me huge strength. I kept driving , towards the unknown.
