Eternal Entanglement

Ace's pov

I used to work for a popular arms dealer named Greg,I deliver almost Four trucks loaded with weapons to appointed places per week.

I get paid a fair amount and was married to a very beautiful woman, I had a son.

Greg received a call from a minister one day demanding for a truck of Ammunitions,Greg quickly told me to go pick up a truck and load it up.

“why can't do this important task” Nick who was also a worker there objected. my boss reminded him that I was a fast and better driver compared to his slow way of driving. He was annoyed, I could see it in his face but he dared not utter a single statement for the fear of losing his job.

I quickly went to the truck and started driving off to the destination,I was driving when I received a call from my best friend Andrew “He also works for Greg” he told me not to take the truck to the appointed place!

I was baffled,“The weapons are to be used to attack innocent protesters over the rape and killing of a minor” Andrew said,I was shocked and scared at same time.

I didn't know what to do. I stopped to think and later concluded not to deliver the truck. I quickly parked the truck under a near by bridge then took a cab home.

I went in shivering and my wife quickly noticed something was wrong,I explained everything to my wife and told her to quickly pack our stuff that we were boarding a bus to her mum's place.

We were still packing our stuffs when two hefty men barged in,one grabbed me by the neck and gave me a hard punch on the chin causing me to fall. The punch was so heavy and I was subconscious.

I later regained consciousness and I was at work surrounded by my boss and my co workers,I tried to get up but realised I was tied. My wife and son were beside my boss.

“you think you can mess with me and go Scot free huh”? Greg asked and was holding a pistol,I panicked and pleaded solemnly “Am sorry I was confused and didn't know what to do" I said in somber.

“oh, you were confused” he asked. “yeah, I think things are getting complicated this days and I am also confused too ” he said and ruthlessly shot my wife in the head.

She fell to the ground and blood oozed from her head. “Noooo!” I cried out.

“Take his son and drown him in and make sure nobody sees you” Greg said to one of his bodyguard, my son was dragged away as I screamed and begged for his life, That was the last time i saw my son.

“I am finding it hard to believe i dont wanna kill you yet, guess I'll keep it for later, take him away You know where he should be Right " Greg said to Nick and Davis. my colleague

”And if I see you near this city I will drive a hot rod in your ass and have you tied to a tree, you'll get whipped before finally killing you kill Greg said and walked out.

“I was bound and also blind folded then placed in the back of a truck.

The vehicle drove for about 4 hours then suddenly stopped, my blind fold was removed and I was united then led up a hill to a spot where there was an old looking house.

I was told to go in,I went in and found the place looking dirty and dusty. There was a dirty looking bed and i sat on it then laid on my back.

I was laying and thinking of my wife,I wept silently and sweard to get my revenge,I soon slept off.

I slept and dreamt of my wife, I saw her wearing a white dress stained with blood. I tried getting close to her but she kept on running away from me yelling at me to go back, I was still dreaming when i felt a hand touch me slightly.

I opened my eyes slowly and saw it was Nick, I stared at him, stood up and went outside and stretched a bit,it was already getting late, I was feeling a little bit better, but still feels very heart broken inside. His colleague Davis was standing near a tree there.

“we have brought the rest of your clothes and stuffs for you,Greg says if he sees you near the city again he will ki...."

I know that already I said as I cut Davis off angrily,I took my stuffs and went in I started arranging my stuffs when my stomach suddenly grumbled, “well I don't really care if I starve to death now”, “My son and wife mudered in one day and my stomach is grumbling?!!”.I thought to my self.

Nick suddenly came in interrupting what I was doing,I felt like jumping on him and choking him to death. “Not yet” I thought. He looked at me with an evil smile on his face an said “we'll be back, we are gonna get you something to eat” he said and walked out.

“something to eat?!!, I don't want anything from you!!” I yelled at him almost with a teary face.

I came out watched them as they walked down the hill, “I will kill you one day” I said silently as I heard their car drove off. His friend, Davis was different. We barely had grudes but that doesn't spare him “i will kill every last single soul working for Greg”. I thought as I walked back in.
