The fix 27

The girl ran. Her steps get tighter as she, finding the people behind her getting closer to her. His breathing was panting, he could not even breathe as smoothly as before.


"Foot!" Excited a man behind her on one of her men. The man who was ordered to shoot it, then nodded. He is wearing a watch in his hand. He then pointed the clock at the girl's feet. He locked it as a target, then in one shot a bullet as small as a needle; shot out of the gunshot hole that was in his clock. The bullet darted quickly and hit the girl's feet, which spontaneously caused the girl to fall to the ground.


BRUKK!!!!


The girl fell with a very loud voice. His hands were injured, as were his knees and feet that were originally shot. He grimaced in pain, when his smooth skin rubbed directly with the cemented ground.


"Akh—" her ringis. He hurried to turn around, now his self fell in a state facing towards the people who were chasing him. Fear began to seep within him, and his face turned deathly pale.


"Now you won't be able to run anymore" a man said as they arrived right in front of him. The girl moved backwards, but some of the men there had already surrounded her first leaving the girl cooped up without being able to escape their encirclement.


The girl's eyes stared at one by one the man in black complete with their sunglasses, covering their eyes with his black color.


The girl was completely exhausted of energy, even to use her strength alone she could not. Sweat pours profusely, soaking his forehead and body, while his breath continues to roar along with his heart that continues to rumble. His hands and feet were trembling.


"W-what do you guys really want, right?" The girl asked in a trembling voice, she spoke softly with her eyes that began to tear up almost crying. One of the men who seemed to be their leader then raised his hand, pointing the watch at his wrist towards the girl.


"What we want is for you to come with us" said the man who then pressed a small button that automatically shot the same small bullet as before. A needle-shaped bullet that then stuck right around the girl's neck. In a matter of seconds, the girl drooped limp until she was lying unconscious there.


"Bring him!" His word to some of their men who are on the left and right side. They nodded then moved towards the girl, grabbing her left and right sides.

"good. Come on!" Nero again stepped up with Vicenzo who is now behind him. They walked only about thirty centimeters away. After walking long enough from the deserted streets that had dominated since then, they were his end; arriving in a narrow, shabby alley. I don't know where Trish is going, but the longer it takes, the farther the man steps into the narrow alleys.


They stepped among the huge garbage bins filled with garbage bags, not to mention the streets filled with puddles of water due to the rain that flooded the city last night. They continued to step, until they arrived at an alley leading to a fork. There they saw Trish turn left. Nero and Vicenzo were about to step up to Trish before suddenly their ears caught a sound coming from the right side of the road.


Nero and Vincenzo stopped, the two looked at each other for a moment to throw questions with their gazes. Nero looked back at the T-junction before them, but saw the color of the sound he saw; hurrying Nero pulled Vicenzo behind the wall there to hide.


"What are you doing!" Vincenzo.


"Sstttt.. don't be noisy!" Nero spoke very slowly. Makes Vicenzo confused.


"What's wrong?" Vincenzo swallowed his voice.


"I see a strange color of sound."


"There was a girl who ran by being chased by some guy behind her. The man had a very clear, concentrated aura, especially from the voice I heard earlier," he explained very slowly.


"W-what? Really true?"


"Yes" said Nero who then silently tried to hear the noise there.


BRUKK!!!


Nero and Vicenzo could hear the sound of someone falling down very loudly. "Akh—" came the voice of the girl who grimaced in pain when she felt her skin coming into rough contact with the ground cemented there.


"Female voice? We have to help her!" Vicenzo said, but Nero quickly prevented it.


"Too dangerous, some of those men aren't random men."


"Then what should we do? We can't possibly let them hurt him" Vicenzo said.


"I'm also confused about how, but certainly we should not act carelessly," said Nero. Vicenzo then kept quiet, but his focus was severed when he saw a puddle of water that was between the alley they had originally passed. Seeing that, Vicenzo got an idea.


"I have an idea" he murmured, then moved his hand, forming a gesture that makes a puddle there move float in the air and then form an arch that looks like a wave in the sea.


"What are you doing?" Nero was confused.


"We'll see what they're doing" he murmured. Which then held the water in its position. And from his reflection, they could see what was going on back there.


"You're a genius," Nero smiled at her.


"Thank you" replied Vincenzo.


From the reflection of the water, they could see some men approaching the girl. The men were wearing the same black suits as the glasses they were wearing.


"Now you won't be able to run anymore" a man who ran ahead said. The man was standing right in front of the girl at a fairly close distance. The girl looked frightened, Nero and Vincenzo could see her trembling body there.


"W-what do you guys really want, right?" The girl asked in her soft voice.


"All we want is for you to come with us" said the man who then pressed a small button on his watch that instantly knocked the girl unconscious.
