Episode 10

*pant pant*

"RUN!"

*vroom vroom*

"ARGHH!!"

It's total chaos that's happening in the dim streets as thugs are getting drag inside the vans one after another. With this kind of situation, people would surely run for their lives.

They did not predict this would happen nor everyone would have given a thought about it.

Not even Leo and Daniel are safe from these vans.

The kidnapping is quite common in the Philippines given its title as one of the kidnapping capital of the world but kidnapping on a large has never happened before.

Carlo who's running along with his thugs got caught up by a white van in front of them as it was waiting for them.

"Shit!" Cursed by Carlo who is entrapped by their enemy.

They run away as all with their might but they vans are still ahead of them.

"Boss what to do now!?" One of his members asks a question nervously.

There were fourteen of them and most of them are tired from the fight earlier as they are about to collapse from exhaustion. With this kind of team, they will surely lose.

Carlo may be ruthless about those who he considered as an enemy but he thinks his members as important as himself to take their safety first. This is his experience as a thug to never let him abandoned his group because he knows them for a long time.

He's still thinking of a way to escape as he never gives up. It might easy to not give in but to find a solution is different.

(Now I'm thinking like that brat!) He blurted out as he was disgust at himself.

Four adult men in a black suit came out from the van and ran towards them.

It would be inevitable to run away from them because this was not the only van that is roaming around here even if they run back they will get cornered.

"Tch!" As Carlo got no choice he gives orders to his thugs with a regretted tone. Knowing the sacrifice he will make, he hesitates.

"Rin..." said Carlo in a low tone.

"Yes!?" the man called Rin responded to his call.

"..." Carlo looks at him with pitiful eyes hesitatingly if he would continue to talk or not.

"Rin... I want you to buy cigarettes for me for later."

"Excuse me what?" Rin showed a confused expression.

Rin didn't get what Carlo meant but Carlo continued his words.

"I may be called tyrant for this, but... Rin, I want you to distract those bastards to let us go through the van.

Like he got a choice for this. This may be the best choice he could think of.

He did not stop there and continued his explanation to Rin who's still confused.

"Gather five people and distract them while our group escape."

Rin somehow gets him but if they did that then...

"We may not get out of this..." Rin finally understood his boss as to why he was hesitant at first.

Those adults that are running straight to them are getting near and no one from Carlo's group is averting their eyes away from them.

Rin looks at his boss- Carlo and speaks to him with a resolve to his face.

"Alright," said Rin with a full smile on his face.

As he said it Rin already picks his five people to distract those four adults like they are prepared to lose their lives in the battle.

Normally people would not follow this kind of order but because they are in deep bound to each other not like of those regular thugs but like one of those so-called family. Such an interesting group.

The other five that Rin picks also understood what's their role as they ready their stances to attack the enemies in front. Rin also readies his stance.

But just when they are about to launch an all-out attack Carlo halted Rin by tapping his shoulder and speak to him in a humble tone.

"I want cigarettes... Buy me later after this." Carlo showed a smile to Rin and Rin also smiles back.

"Of course I will..." said Rin as he shows his fist in front of Carlo.

Carlo also showed his fist as they fist bump to each other.

They may be young yet they showed a deep bound. If they continued their life without getting involved with those thugs they maybe have a stable life right now.

"Now!" As Rin's command all of them run towards the five adults.

Rin's group immediately intercept the five to distract them away from Carlo's.

Those adults understand what they are doing and try to quickly beat Rin's group.

(Cheeky Brats!) grin by one of the adults.

But as they think they can capture these five easily, they surely underestimated them.

Unlike Leo and his group who work flawlessly, Rin's group has some mistakes from here to there but they make it up in with their dirtiest tactics they could ever think of.

One of Rin's group ran straight to two of the adults leading him to get captured while the other four make this their advantage as those two adults lost focus to them.

They hit the two adults with all of their might in any places of their body like head or torso yet as expected from adults they're tough as they resist.

(!?) Even it was expected they still can't believe it and because of that one of their strategy failed as one of their group got captured.

They realized that they're only dealing with two adults as the other three disappear from their sight.

(Where are they!?)

Rin look left and right looking for them yet there is no sign of them. Using the advantage of the darkness of the street Rin knew that they might get surprised attack from their backs.

Time is running out and his group is getting crushed one after another.

"Gargh!" Another one of his group got pinned down by one of the adults making them only three left.

(Shit!) They tried to rescue the one who got pinned but they were blocked by one of the adults.

Thugs are surely good at running away and have more experience in fighting the street and yet they are getting cornered by only two adults. Not only they even lose sight of the other three.

"Rin it looks like that our organs are about to be sold hahaha." One of the reaming three tells a final joke with a dry laugh at the end.

"Hehehe Your jokes are weird as always," Rin replies by trying to cheer up the mood like they are ignoring what's actually happening right now.

Joke or not, getting your organs sold is the common thing you could think of when kidnapping happens especially for young people like them who only just reach 20's.

As they stop laughing they look at the two adults who are carrying each one of their members at their shoulders.

"Sure, they are strong but can they still have the advantage with only using one hand? Can we do it?" says Rin.

"Not sure if we don't try!"

"Go!"

The three launches again all-out frontal.

Unlike earlier where they use the method of baiting, they use another dirty strat of under their sleeve.

A disgusting strat. A disgusting style of fighting.

The enemies are as big as gorillas but because of that, they are great targets.

(I don't want to be captured yet! I have to buy a bunch of cigarettes to Boss!)

Run straight. Attack straight. Runaway. Attack Straight.

Hit and run strat use by the past generals even to this day.

To make sure their attack gets more effective they must hit one of their weak points.

(You may be bigger but you are not agile as Leo or Mike!)

They hit their weak points where even the adults didn't expect them to attack. Expect, it's more like they didn't wish for it to be targetted.

The groin.

Three of them attack the two simultaneously at their balls.

The two adults groan in pain as they covered their balls with their one hand. But one hand is not enough for them to completely protect it.

The three thugs didn't let them take rest or even breathe as they continued to attack.

"Wahahaha! How about that!?" One of Rin's group who makes the joke earlier is now laughing sadistically. A-as expected from the thugs... they sure not forget those who humiliate them until they could pay them back.

They continued to attack at their groin even it was covered with their hand.

Even Rin who is now sneering sadistically at them. (In your fucking face! hahaha)

They focus on covering their balls and carrying each one of the thugs on their shoulders they got no protection all over their bodies.

Just as they are getting beaten by these thugs the remaining three adults finally appeared.

Their smiles from Rin's group went into despair as they realized why they disappear.

(They are not hiding but they went for that!?)

The three adults are dragging seven people like a corpse.

Those seven people are Carlo and his group who failed to run away from adults.

Rin's group purpose to distract the enemy was in vain... no, they already lose when they lose sight of their enemies. With the five adults had gathered it will impossible to run away from them nor fight them.

Rin's remaining group of five has lost their will as they are fallen to their knees.

Grasping for a reason, Rin can't believe what happened just now.

(This was just a dream right?)

Slowly the five adults are now dragging all twelve of them to the van.

(We lose, huh...)

Rin looks at the sky as he gives up caring for everything.

The only thing that he was thankful is that he's about to die along with his friends.

It might be disgusting to think of that but if you're a thug living out of the disappointment of your parents and don't have a certain knowledge of anything besides stealing and fighting, dying with his friends is better for him- for all of them than dying alone.

Rin, Carlo, and his twelve members got captured by one of those mysterious vans.
