Tisane glanced across the elevator room urgently. Four men stared at him with fiery eyes. Tisane's mind began to race as to how he would get himself out of this bind.
_'This is more troublesome than being chased by security guards'_ Tisane thought. As the seconds were ticking down, Tisane saw one of the men grab him by the collar and pushed him to the elevator wall.
"What are you? Some criminal?" The man interrogated as he held Tisane firmly. Tisane desperately struggled against the man's tight grip but to no avail.
"Hold him down. When we get to the third floor, we will hand him over to the security" the second man said.
On hearing this, Tisane knew that he had to get out of this situation or he would be done for. But how will he escape out of this? By begging them?
"Please you don't understand" Tisane began. "I didn't do anything wrong. I just want to see the CEO!"
"What CEO?"
"Who do you think you are to see the CEO?"
"Tell that to the authorities kid"
Tisane knew his plea was not working. Well he tried begging. What else, negotiate?
"Just help me to contact Mr Fadeyemi and all will be made clear" Tisane said.
"Hmph" was the reply he received.
Tisane stared at the four men and realized that they were not ready to let him go. Well he did try to beg and negotiate with them. What else could he do? Tisane knew that by the time the elevator doors open, there will be no escape. At this moment, that same resolute feeling he got outside the building became intense now. He had to see Mr Fadeyemi at all cost. As for those that try to stop him, well....
~Gba....dum~
~Gba....dum~
Tisane felt that strange beating of his heart again. But now was not the time to pay attention to that as his right leg went up swiftly and connected with the crotch of the man that was holding him.
~Thump!~
"Ah!" The man felt severe pain that was sent through his body from below as he grabbed his private area.
Tisane didn't stop there as he shoved the man hard away from him.
"....."
"....."
"....."
The elevator fell into silence with the only noise coming from the man whom was grabbing his private area in agony.
Tisane knew this was just the calm before the storm as he readied himself for a tough fight.
"Son of a...." The fight started as the second man swung his fist at Tisane.
~Bam!~
Tisane saw the fist coming as he raised his left arm to defend. But the force of the punch still threw him off balance. Tisane had never been in a serious fight before, so he was quite clumsy in his defense and attack.
~Bam!~
~Bam!~
~Bam!~
Tisane felt severe pain all over his body as he was being pummeled by the three men...well four because the first man whom had his crotch kicked by Tisane swore to avenge himself as he joined his three companions to beat a defenseless guy.
_'This is not good!'_ Tisane thought as the blows kept coming. _'I have to get out of this or I will end up far worse than getting arrested'_
_~Beep~_
_~Beep~_
Tisane heard a strange beeping amidst the punches that kept assaulting his body. Opening his eyes which were closed shut, he couldn't believe what he began to see. It was like looking through a television or a camera. It was strange and amazing! And the colors.
Yeah, Tisane's entire vision was engulfed in colors!
'What the...' Tisane completely forgot that he was being pummeled right now as he began to have this indescribable feeling of strength.
As he stared at the four men whom were raining punches down at him, one thought clouded his mind.....
_~Defend~_
At this moment, Tisane's arms moved instantly to block and deflect the punches of four grown men!
"What?..."
"This...."
The four men couldn't believe that their combined assault was beginning to be pushed back by one guy.
Tisane's arms were getting faster as he effortlessly blocked the various punches that were being thrown at him. Tisane's eyes grew super wide as he couldn't believe he was holding out against four men in a close quarter fight like this!
_~Approaching third floor~_
Another information entered Tisane's mind as he glanced at the elevator door. He had to end this fight now!
_~Attack~_
Tisane immediately felt this strange vibe as if he was in a slow mode movie.
~Bam!~
Tisane threw his first punch at the first man which made the man to stumble backwards. Dodging an incoming punch, Tisane threw an uppercut at the second man making him very dizzy. Crossing his arms above his head, Tisane blocked the assault of the third and fourth man while smashing his feet at the right leg of the third man.
~Crack!~
"Ah!" The third man stumbled and fell as he grabbed his right leg, his face contorted in extreme pain.
Turning his back to the fourth man, Tisane pushed himself into the embrace of the man as he smashed the back of his head at the man's face.
~Thud!~
As the fourth man grabbed his mouth probably due to a broken teeth, Tisane raised his right leg and smashed it against the fourth man's chest, which sent him crashing against the first man.
Meanwhile on the third floor.....
A man and woman were seen discussing in front of an elevator as they waited for the doors to open.
"So when do you get off your shift?" The man asked.
"One thirty" the woman replied.
"Would you like to grab something to eat with me by then?" The man asked again.
"Erm..." the woman blushed a little. Before she could answer, the elevator doors opened.
"Heok!" The man stepped back in extreme shock as he saw four guys sprawled on the elevator floor while one guy sat on top of another and rained down punches.
In the elevator...
Tisane kept punching the first guy just to make sure he knocked him out when he suddenly stopped and stared out of the open elevator to see a shocked man and a frightened woman who stared back at him with wide open eyes.....
"Oh my God!" The woman shrieked in terror.
Tisane shivered at the woman's cry of terror as he dashed out of the elevator past the shocked man and woman.
_'Oh shit'_ Tisane ran as fast as he could while searching for the next elevator. _'I can't believe what just happened'_
While searching for the next elevator, he bumped into two security guards whom were walking down the hallway.
_'Damn it'_ Tisane froze momentarily as he stared at the security guards with wide open eyes.
"Can we help you sir?" One of the security guards asked Tisane.
"Uh?...No am fine...just.." Tisane stammered as he tried to walk past them in a haste. As he kept walking and didn't hear them call out to him, he breathed a sigh of relief. On getting into the hall room filled with workers busy in their cubicles, Tisane slowed his steps and walked cautiously trying to get to the other end of the office room where an elevator was available. When it seemed as if all would go well, Tisane raised up his eyes which was busy glancing around anxiously and curiously only for him to see two other security guards coming out of the elevator but these two security guards seemed quite different from the ones he previously came across.
At first, Tisane seemed to stop his forward steps only to gather the courage and walk past them as he did with the previous two.
Few steps towards the security guards, Tisane encouraged himself. _'Its alright, all I need to do is to act cool and everything would be alright'_. When he noticed the security guards looking from left to right as if searching for something, he began to shiver in fear as if he knew what they were looking for. _'No it might just be a coincidence'_ Tisane kept telling himself as he walked closer to the security guards. _'All I need to do is just to act natural'._
As the security guards fixed their gazes in his direction, he quickly averted his eyes and quickly walked past with a deep sigh. Few steps to reach the elevator, one of the security guards called out "Hey!"
Trying to ignore the call and pretend as he didn't hear, Tisane kept walking forward until someone grabbed his shoulder. "Hey man it seems like your attention is needed"
A worker wearing monkey suit said with his hand on Tisane's shoulder. Tisane closed his eyes and swore inwardly _'why don't mind your own business you b**tard!'_
Turning around, he saw the security guards staring at him with suspicious eyes as they slowly walked towards him.
"Can we see your ID sir?" One of the security guards said as he looked Tisane up and down.
"Erm...is..is there any problem sir?" Tisane tried to sound calm as he watched the security guards walked closer. At this point he was already preparing to run for it but he hesitated because these security guards standing before him wielded weapons, so he knew he couldn't take them likely.
"I said you should show us some ID" the security guard spoke with a level of sharpness in his voice. At this point, some workers had begun to stare at this direction out of curiosity.
Tisane knew he was busted but he had a fraction of faith that he could weather the storm until he eyes stared past the security guards and saw another group of security guards walking into the office room led by a man and a woman. Actually, Tisane recognized them as the man and woman that he encountered at the previous elevator. Cursing at his bad luck, Tisane saw the eyes of the man and woman rest on him as they pointed at him fiercely drawing the attention of the security guards that accompanied them.
_'Oh no'_ Tisane knew all hell had broken loose as he saw the troop of security guards marching towards him. All he had to do right now was simple...run.
