Bill sat by the side of the road. He observed the faces of the people passing in front of him. There's a lot of homeless people around Bill. Perhaps he was the only 13-year-old child left there. No wonder so many people are looking. Including big guys like mafia bosses.
A few hours passed. It's getting late afternoon. Bill was getting bored. He was attacked by drowsiness. Slowly his head fell.
Simultaneously, a pair of pantofel shoes appeared in front. Bill's eyes were wide open. He immediately looked up. Watching who the figure of the man before him was now.
"Hey, kid!" the one who came was none other than Ron Lauder. Mafia boss Tiger Danger. The man Bill's been waiting for a long time.
Bill hurried to stand up. In the condition of rounded eyes. He tried to notice the face hidden behind the fedora hat.
"What are you doing here alone?" ron asked as he bent down to align his height with Bill's body.
'Shit! I forgot to cry. At that time I cried because I could not go back home, ' Inner Bill. He immediately gritted his face. Pretending sad.
"I can't go home. It seems my family hates me... Hicks..." Bill said the same sentence as before.
"Oh... Poor thing... Meet me Ron. And you?" respond Ron. He was now squatting in front of Bill.
"Bill.." replied Bill.
"Bill, do you know what the mafia is?" ask Ron.
Bill nodded. He covered his face with two hands.
"I'm one of those mob bosses in the country, Bill. I happen to be looking for wasted kids like you. Because I know a kid like you must have a humiliation I might not have imagined. If you come with me, I'll make sure you can take revenge on the people who hurt you" Ron said softly. He seemed to have gotten used to talking so with the children.
Bill who was still covering his face smiled. That was the word he was waiting for. Bill was confused as to why he had rejected the offer.
'I was too naive. I thought kindness could make my life better. But in reality it's not. I suffered even more, ' Bill said in his heart. Remembering how he was in the past.
Bill stopped covering his face. He looked at Ron and said, "Alright. I'm coming with you."
Ron smiled broadly. He told Bill to get in the car. They're going to Tiger Danger's main base in Brooklyn.
Arriving at the headquarters, Bill was dragged by two burly men. He was so shocked to suddenly be treated so.
"Mr Ron! Where am I going?!" Bill rounded his eyes.
"Take him with the other kids!" tell Ron not to care. His attitude changed drastically.
Feeling deceived, Bill bites Ron's two subordinates in turn. Then we approached Ron.
"Mr Ron! You said you'd train me to be a tough guy!" Bill demands answers.
Ron stared with a contemptuous smile. "You think I mean it? I just need a kid to complete the amount my client wants. Understood?" revealed.
"So you lied to me?!" Bill clenched fists in both hands.
"Look, Bill. I'm a mafia boss. You think I have a heart like a butterfly? I won't feel sorry to see that cry of yours?!" Ron kicked Bill to the ground.
"Aaaargh!!!" Bill was in pain. He's very upset. As a result Bill stood up and floated the bogem right into Ron's vital apparatus.
"Boss!!" ron's entire subordinate shouted at the same time. Some of them are worried. Some of them try to hold back the laughter.
Ron reflex held his intimate organs with two hands. He felt immeasurable pain. Some of his men immediately helped. Ron was standing up. He turned to Bill. Then point his index finger at the child.
"Take this kid away! Hurry along! I can't wait to sell it!" furious Ron.
Bill was forced. She was joined by another child in a room.
Bruk!
Bill was pushed violently. He fell on his stomach. The door was immediately closed by Ron's subordinate.
"Damn!" curse Bill.
Bill slowly stood up. He saw a girl sitting in front of him. The child is not alone, there are other children who seem to have different age ranges. They look scared. Except for the girl who responded to Bill's swearing.
"You're the only kid who came without crying." The girl sitting in front of Bill spoke again. He was white. Her brown hair was long. He looks dirty and disheveled like any other kid.
"It's because I'm fed up with suffering" replied Bill. He sat next to the girl.
"I'm Lexy" said the girl.
"Bill's." Bill answered while giving a glance around. I hope to find a way to escape.
"There's no gap in this room. Just a little vent that only an ant can pass." Lexy who understands what Bill is looking for, immediately raise her voice.
Bill was upset. He ruffled his hair in frustration. If he knew all this would happen, he would have chosen another way of life.
Until finally Bill just remembered with the emerald stone he found. He reached into his pants pocket. But he did not find the stone.
Bill stand. Try to search for emerald stones carefully.
"You why? Want to pee?" ask Lexy. Bill did not answer.
"That's a handy bucket for-"
"I don't want to pee!" emphatically Bill with a tone full of emphasis. He sat back. Bill was really surprised. Where did the emerald go?
'Could it be that emerald that brought me back to the past? Why did it suddenly disappear? Does that mean I can't go back?' bill wondered. 'Ah! Anyway I don't want to go back at all, ' he continued, shaking his head.
Bill fell silent and leaned against the wall. He glanced at Lexy who looked busy playing with her dirty nails.
"Have you and the others been here long?" ask Bill.
"I've been here two weeks. As for them, some have been three weeks, one month ago, even two months. Jay is the longest here" Lexy replied pointing to the children in question.
"And you didn't try to escape at all?"
"It has. But nothing worked. The mafia is so much. They're strong, too." Lexy explained.
"We need to get out of here!" Bill's determined.
"Hows it? Because I don't want to be punished again for doing that. Look at my body." Lexy showed bruises and wounds in several points of her body.
Bill thought. Until he thought of something. "Are they going to give us food?" tanyakanya.
"Yes, maybe in a minute."
"good. We should use that chance to escape!" Bill stand. He spoke to all the children in the room. "We have a lot. I'm sure we can!" he shouted while making a bogem in one hand.
The other kids don't seem to care. They ignored Bill who seemed like he was talking nonsense.
"Come on! Don't you want to get out of here?!" Bill tried again. Still no reaction.
"They're tired, Bill. We tried to escape several times. But it ended tragically. Some of us were even raped" Lexy said.
Bill remained silent. Hearing Lexy's words, she remembered her fate first. But should Bill remain silent? Sure didn't! He was determined to fight. He doesn't want to be the stupid one he was.
The door suddenly opened. Three of Ron's men came to bring food. They threw a tray of bread on the floor. That's when Bill again carried out what he did to Ron. Bill attacked with quick movements. Until Ron's subordinates could not guess.
"Aargha!"
"Aargha!
"Aargha!"
Ron's three subordinates felt pain in their respective vital organs.
"Come on!" bill told the other kids. They prefer to take bread. Only Lexy ran after Bill. Lexy even carried out the same attack on Ron's three subordinates. Bill and Lexy's double kill was torture for Ron's underlings.
