Heart Darkness
Chapter 50 Lucky, So Lucky ....

In the Wilderness a few Days Later ....

Lucky and Francis have been perfectly camouflaged to blend in with the trees and nature. They were about to reach Axel Anthony's base while Silvester and another prepared with guns to start firing from 900 meters away. For two days they crept through the forest to reach the closest distance from Axel Anthony's headquarters. Creeping slowly and regularly. Just creep.

It is undeniable that he misses his girl who is wrapped in a blanket. He thought of Reinha as the night was so pitch-black, as the morning sunlight pierced through the oak leaves, asking inwardly; did the girl wake up disappointed that she had disappeared? He did not keep his promise to hold it until morning. As he washed his face in the clear river, his smile poked on the shadow of Reinha's lips which always swore, at every frontal violence that the girl did. He hoped that this would end soon and he would return to his beloved.

They're on reconnaissance to Axel's base, 4 days later. Waiting to learn the activities of the headquarters and day four they will save Pequeena. Unlike the original plan, they took longer.

Pequeena was held captive in a tight space near Axel Anthony's main camp. There were many captive women. They are expelled at night to enliven the deep night but Queena is not among them. The girl was placed in a very intimate room for Axel Anthony and needless to guess, Axel might have desecrated her. He has to really focus on saving Queena and if lucky he will hole Axel's eyes.

Lucky and Francis will break into Axel Anthony's base to take Queena on the fourth day. Five crucial minutes and they were given 15 minutes to get out of there after finding Queena. The watchtower contained Axel warriors, keeping watch even at night. They're creeping closer. Silvester cocked the weapon. He's gonna shoot the tower guard. The hunt for Silvester begins. One eruption, one fell from the height of the tower. One shot changed the mood that morning.

The troops were surprised, running around to take positions while Francis infiltrated the grenades on each side of the camp. Finally the gunfire began, rumbling in the deserted jungle. The birds were flying in the air avoiding the commotion created by humans.

They will destroy the place to the ground. Lucky's headed to where Queena's being held. He confronted the Axelites and swiftly put them away one by one, twisting the neck and firing mercilessly. He fills bullets, pulls the trigger and shoots at anyone he sees.

"Queena?" Lucky hugged the frightened girl when he found her huddled under the bed, hiding perhaps fearfully hearing the sound of gunfire outside her room being held captive. That girl must have been through some bad days. However, there were only small scratches on the cheeks without incision scratches and he looked withered as if he had not eaten for days.

"Lucky?!

Queena's eyes couldn't speak as she looked at Lucky.

"I knew you'd come save me." He spoke while crying and hugged Lucky firmly.

"Is my mom okay?"

"We don't have much time for Queena, this place has been loaded with grenades and is about to explode. I'll take you out."

Queena nods and takes cover behind Lucky's body while Lucky takes up arms to finish off anyone in sight. They were about to get out of there when Axel Anthony pushed the door with a gun also on standby shooting. Axel grinned when he saw Lucky Luciano, the father's killer.

"Lucky?!" his sizzle with a happy tone. "It's good that you came .. I can finish you off easily." Still grinning.

"Axel .. "greet Lucky reply to the grin. "Didn't you have anyone else to abduct? You're involving the wrong people."

Axel grimaced, staring at Lucky half-mockingly, "Of course. What do you mean I need to kidnap your lover instead of kidnapping Princess Viktor?! Don't beg me, I can kidnap your pretty girl right now."He started to provoke Lucky.

Lucky was not hooked, he was calmly restrained. His eyebrows shot up high, he clucked.

"You can carefully know my lover but you don't really know who killed your father? What a pity," Lucky replied scornfully.

Axel's eyes were burning, "You're the killer."

"Of course that's what you think, but my advice .. Let's say it!"

Lucky only has 10 minutes left to take Queena out of Axel's base.

"Go! I'll forgive you. The girl is mine, Lucky .. "he said coldly. That gave Lucky a lot of information. While Queena's grip on her bulletproof vest tightens.

"I'll take him! You can find another girl .. that's it if you survive today. I intend to hole your eyes."

Axel threw his weapon, this was a sign they were going to duel.

"It's not that easy. Pass me first. I haven't had enough fun with him." He grinned again this time at Queena.

Lucky throws his gun and they start fighting. Jab and hook also kick after kick ejected. Both of them woke up inside that narrow space. Until one day Lucky managed to hit Axel to fall near Queena. Unexpectedly Queena grabbed the gun tucked in Axel's body and without hesitation shot Axel's body. His hands were shaking and his eyes were starting to blur. It stopped Axel for a while. Queena steps past Axel but Axel grabs Queena's leg. Queena turned and pointed a gun at Axel's head, but did not shoot him. Queena kicked the man so hard that his legs were free.

Lucky grabs Queena while Axel groans in pain looking to grab a gun and shoots Lucky but does not do so because the distance is too far. Lucky picks up his gun and points Axel in the eye.

"It's nice to be able to punch your head in." Guns in Axel's left eye. However, Queena's hand holding Lucky made the man squint. Queena shook her head asking Lucky not to shoot Axel Anthony.

"Look Axel, this girl you kidnapped has saved your life. Next time I'm gonna punch both of your eyes."

Lucky and Queena get out of there right before a grenade explodes. Both were thrown far away. Lucky hugged Queena tightly. Dust and fragments of building materials soared into the clear sky before falling like rain, his ears ringing. Dark world around him.

"Enya, are you waiting for me to come back? I miss you."

"Why was Grandpa's photo taken down?!"

Arumi stood in the guest room and grumbled while some servants lowered a portrait of the great Lord Diomanta's pride. Marya always goosebumps every time she sees a picture of her grandfather, remembering he once hugged Mr. Dio's shoes and got a kick. Perhaps because of seeing Marya who was always frightened, Sunny decided to take the portrait down and move it to the study.

"If you hate Grandpa, that's your business. I love her so much" added Arumi, beginning to get upset.

"Aunty Sunny's asking the waiter to take her down." Marya approached Arumi. He brought Mom's food tray. "You should go to school and enroll, I'll accompany you."

Arumi pouted, "I can be alone. Besides, I don't want my friends to know, you're my brother. That's so annoying."

"Alright, stop frowning and go have breakfast. I've made you a very delicious apple bender. Hmm?!"

Arumi looked at Marya with a fed up face, "I'll stop wrinkling if Big Brother leaves here! Why not just keep hiding?"

Marya breathed a heavy sigh, not wanting to respond or laden with the annoyance of her sister continued further. He had to go to Mom's room to bring food and medicine. When it was about to pass Arumi, suddenly Arumi's legs stuck up to Marya who did not see the footstool, fell and her forehead hit the edge of the first rung.

The tray floated in the air before falling. The bowl and glass hit the floor causing a choppy noise while Marya held the pain in her forehead. His hand also accidentally stepped on the glass shard.

He screamed as the glass shattered his hand.

"Marya?!" Elgio and the new Abner ran to Marya.

"What's going on?"

"I fell, Elgio. Though this is porridge for Mother," Marya answered almost crying not because of Arumi or the body was injured, but because of the breakfast hours Mother would pass. He has to make it again.

"Get your hand!"

Elgio took out the rest of the shard and held the blood coming out of Marya's hand with his tie. A week of leaving Marya in Diomanta Pavilion really tormented her. Now seeing Arumi behaving badly to Marya, Elgio is inflamed. Want to slap Arumi. The fruit fell not far from the tree. Although still not even 16 years old, Arumi has a high level of criminal spirit. Elgio became very alert.

"Arumy?! Did you intentionally hurt your brother?"

Reproval does not like Sunny makes Arumi more bend face. Upon hearing Arumi's noise, Sunny returned to the living room. It was nice to see the two talking but Arumi turned out to be ignorant.

"I'm sorry to him!"

"I didn't do anything? Why are you scolding me, Aunty?" Arumi's pouting face looked at Marya.

"Arumy?!" peekut Sunny.

"I hate you, Mom too. I'm gonna go and live with Valerie. Aunty Valerie understands me better than you two."

"Are you hurt, Ruhi?" tanya Sunny stared pushyly at Marya while Elgio's jaw was petrified.

"I will treat you" said Elgio quietly.

"It's okay Elgio, I'm fine."

"Marya .. I will treat you," whispered Elgio almost muttering, holding back his wrath. In front of his eyes Arumi dared to disturb Marya. Her heart flushed.

"I'll take Aruhi home. After all, Mrs Salsa has recovered enough, hasn't she?"

"Elgio .. Give me a little time. Arumi's just pissed off." Marya looked at her lover trying to make Elgio calm. The man's face flushed to his ears.

I can't live without seeing you, Marya. I was almost crazy this week. Elgio said in his heart and hoped Marya would hear. Marya looked at him with such an alluring iris of chocolates.

"It's hard for me without you, Elgio. I'll take care of Mom a little more so that I can see me at our wedding" Marya replied quietly.

"alright. Do I need to ask Aunt Mai here?" Elgio held Marya's wounded hand.

"I can do it myself."

"Can we have dinner together?" elgio asked expectantly and was slightly comforted as Marya nodded.

While Reinha was restlessly waiting without any news. Lucky's invisible, he's out of ways to lure the man to her. Where did that guy go? Didn't he have to send word even if it was just an exclamation mark? Is Lucky's hunger on him fulfilled after successfully dragging him to bed? Even though they end up with just hugs and kisses.

Reinha went to the weapon storage room to open the vault and took out the Barret M82. This week Reinha is seriously practicing shooting and Muay Thai. The goal is only one, Lucky Luciano replied. One time he would wear a mask, drive a car and kidnap Lucky Luciano when the man was unconscious. He would shoot dope remotely, take the man hostage and would hold him on a remote island. An island not recorded in a satellite until no one can find it. Just the two of them then he'll torture Lucky Luciano. Reinha sumringah for that brilliant scenario.

How dare the man offend his feelings, slipping away as he slept. Lucky promised to hold her until morning but the man disappeared before morning came. Disappearing just like that leaves an unsolved puzzle.

"Have you heard? Aren't you and Claire very close?" reinha asked while Augusto couldn't help her Miss who was constantly fussing.

"Miss, Luciano Castle has been vacated since a week ago. There's only guards on guard."

"I'm going to Faith Hill where my brother's not in Durante Land."

Reinha carrying a gunbag made Augusto astonished. Why go to Faith Hill with Barret M82? What's the missus gonna shoot?

"What if it turns out this week, that jerk's been smuggling women and making out at Luciano Castle? You know old habits are hard to lose. I'll scout and shoot right in the heart."

Augusto bertehem. Reinha looks very upset because she misses Mr. Lucky.

"Alright, let's go there."

Augusto who could not help but amusedly followed the silliness of Reinha, his boss who was drunk with jealousy. They drove to Faith Hill and stopped at a hill not far from Luciano Castle. Reinha went up there, put on a long barrel gun wearing a helmet that had been plastered with leaves. The disguise makes no sense, considering Reinha was wearing a flaming red leather jacket that could even be seen from a radius of thousands of feet and black jeans.

"You can go, I'll lurk all day here."

"Miss, doesn't this make no sense? At Luciano Castle there really are only bodyguards."

"Guards are paid to be loyal, what if they turn out to be lying to protect their master?"

Augusto shrugged his shoulders unable to hold back the laughter. Reinha put on an ear phone and chewed on a buble gum to drive away her beating heart from missing Lucky. He'll stalk Lucky just as the man did to him. Reinha nodded and began to lurk. Augusto stood not far from him as much as he could not burst into laughter. He chuckled unmitigatedly at last and stopped as Reinha turned threatening, about to shoot him. He pretended to be scared.

"Did you find it, Miss?" augusto asked curiously after a few minutes.

Luciano's castle is displayed under the telescope. Reinha magnifies optics many times over. I looked at the guards everywhere.

"I'll wait for him here."

"Miss ... Mr. Lucky may be on a mission. You know that guy's got a lot of work to do." Augusto tried to persuade Reinha.

"Go! Buy something and chew! I'm dizzy hearing you babble."

Augusto saw Reinha getting sleepy, he had even yawned many times. The breeze and the natural atmosphere are very supportive. Reinha folded her hands and almost slept on the dry leaves.

"Do I need to replace you, Miss?"

"Yes, you're right. Come here! You see the top room on the second floor? That guy used to have fun there."

Reinha heard the song at a large volume, closed her eyes and let her mind drift away at Lucky. He bit Lucky in the second floor room. He did not expect a few weeks later Lucky Luciano was his lover. Reinha smiles. But where is he?

Should've known your love was a game (Should have known your love was a game)

Now I can't get you out of my brain (Now I can't get you out of my brain)

Oh, it's such a shame (Oh, what a pity)

"I just found out, someone was stalking someone else while hearing the song," whispered quite clearly from next to Reinha.

"Whispering, you just keep an eye on the second floor," Reinha exasperatedly exasperated.

"Hmmm, what if a real woman was there waiting for Lucky?"

"Where?!" Reinha turned off the song on her phone that only made her more upset.

"He was undressing there."

"From Augusto, I'll shoot pa- ... "

Sentence stopped. Reinha glanced and gaped as she saw who was laying with her. The man was seen watching the telescope with a frown. His face was full of new scratches and bruises. Rough feathers darken along the jaw. He turned away from the telescope at Reinha, staring at Reinha softly.

"Do I need to shoot your girlfriend too?" tanyanya heavy.

"You ... fucking asshole."." cried Reinha unable to withstand the overflow of emotions. Lucky grabs the girl into a hug, under the shady trees of the hills.

"Hi Enya, I miss you."
