Where?

Bang…

A bullet shell fell on the floor. Edward woke up from the loud sound. His vision filled with a dark ceiling. Sweat formed, submerging his hair and forehead.

Bang…

He jolted in shock, without raising his head he looked toward the sound of the revolver shot. A dreadful scene unfolded before him. A silhouette was firing bullets toward unconscious men lying on the cold floor.

Bang…

Edward’s hair rosed up in fear, he gulped his saliva. But he didn’t stand up. His best chance was when the person came near him. In a hurry he inspected his body, legs not tied, but his hands were tied above his crotch.

Tap…tap… tap…

The silhouette came near him, in the complete darkness of the room. The revolver was raised at Edward, ready to shoot.

Edward mustered all of his strength and kicked the silhouette at his shin.

Argh!!

The Silhouette screamed in pain, “You piece of shit!”

Thud…

Edward rammed at the silhouette’s feet and threw him to the ground.

“You bastard, get off me!”

The silhouette shouted at Edward, but Edward didn’t budge he raised his tied hand and thrusted it in his face, though it was useless. But that was all he could do.

Bang!

A bullet shot resounded, and the bullet shell fell on the ground. Edward raised his head to look at the man he had pinned down. A dim light came from the front, not much but he was able to tell what the silhouette was wearing, Undergarments. Nothing else, but the most surprising thing was that he was dead.

“Stand up!”

A voice resounded from the behind, it was directed toward Edward. Edward shook his head and raised his hand as he turned around,

“Who are you?” The man stammered as he pointed the revolver, which belonged to the Silhouette man.

“Relax! I am with you, don’t shoot.” Edward replied calmly despite the rush of adrenaline.

“And why should I believe you?” The man clenched the revolver tightly.

“I was at Sia last night, Having a drink at a bar. Then suddenly, I am here!” Edward replied gently in a low voice.

“Sia? Sia county. I was the bartender last night!” The man with revolver replied,

“You were the bartender? Robert?” Edward asked,

“And you are the guy with Slate grey hair like an old man?” Robert asked,

“Edward, would be fine!” Edward heaved a sigh of relief as he looked at Robert.

“What was that! he was shooting everyone left and right like it was nothing! Where are we? And why we are naked?” Robert broke in panic as he realized the other person was a fellow captive.

Oh! Gosh, don’t panic! And naked? … Edward looked down and rolled his eyes up.

“Let’s find it out together Robert, what do you Say? First let’s untie the ropes in our hand, then we will figure things out together!” Edward replied with a hint of hurry.

Robert clenched the revolver and fired a shot!

Click…

Edward eyes widened, he retorted with a loud voice filled in panic, “You Dumb Fuck! you Shot me! have you lost your mind?”

Robert blurted in panic, “Sorry! I thought you were one of them! you sounded way to calm and collected! I thought you were getting close to me to snatch the gun!”

What the fuck! He so stupid!... Edward gritted his teeth,

“I am… I was in military. I am familiar with this kind of situation, now if you mind! Can we untie these mortal shackles?”

Robert gulped down his saliva and came close to Edward. Despite Robert’s worry, Edward didn’t do anything. Soon, they got free from the ropes.

“I am sorry!” Robert apologized,

“Don’t fire again if you have doubts! Asked questions! A dead body won’t be able to answer to your questions!” Edward replied while holding back his anger.

“Sorry!”

Edward shook his head, as he got near the source of light. Robert started to check the people, he blurted,

“They are alive! And breathing!”

“Shh!!!!” Edward hushed Robert,

Edward got near Robert and asked, “Try waking them up!”

Robert shook the unconscious man; the man didn’t wake up. Then Robert without hesitation kicked his crotch.

“They are asleep like a log.” Robert declared,

No Shit! Sherlock… Edward got away from Robert while covering his crotch.

Both of them checked the near by people lying they were asleep like a log, despite there being a bullet hole.

Robert asked while scratching the back of his head, “What should we do?”

“Survey, and don’t smash the light bulbs of people!” Edward snorted as he got near the Light source.

Iron bar came in his vision and a lantern hung outside the bars. Emitting the faint glow. Edward’s body came in Robert’s eyes, scarred back, well maintain physic, and slate grey hairs with shark grey strands.

Edward’s brown eyes turned toward Robert, he was a modest guy with a lean physic and brown hairs and brown eyes.

“You look like a prince!” Robert joked,

“And you look like my steward!” Edward snapped back as he got out of the cell.

Robert let out a chuckle as he asked, while following Edward,

“So, what’s the plan?”

“Fuck around and find out.” Edward replied as he led.

“What’s that tattoo on your wrist?” Robert asked as he saw a line of green ink on Edward’s hand,

“A gift from my brother.” Edward replied, as they turned around the corner.

At the end of the corner there was a wooden door. But before that there was a left turn. Illuminated by the lantern that hung on the ceiling between them and the wooden door.

Edward smirked at Robert, “Freedom!”

“I am not that hopeful.” Robert shattered the mood,

“Then want to go to the left first?” Edward asked, while walking toward the left turn.

“Never mind, freedom it is!” Robert gritted his teeth.

A smile erupted on Edward’s face as they walk past the left turn, and the ceiling lantern above them. The reach at the wooden door in front of them. Edward held the knob, but then his action halted.

A muffled voice could be heard from behind the door. Robert put his hand on Edward’s shoulder to stop him from opening the door. Afraid they might have more guns and taking a bullet on their chest was not a tempting idea.

Edward gulped his saliva, and whispered, “I think they can’t hear us!”

Robert retorted in a whisper, “Could you not speak! I am terrified as shit!”

Edward gritted his teeth and opened the door. Robert’s jaw fell in shock.
