The Love From Vengeance

he robber hastily shrugged off Luke’s hand and pointed his gun at him again. “Hey, don’t think i’m playing around!”

“Calm down, buddy. There is no need to get so worked up. Just tell me the amount, and I’ll give it to you. Let’s wrap up this conversation quickly.”

“Sorry, but I don’t operate that way.”

“Well, there’s always a first time for everything.” Luke maintained his plastic smile.

“Shut the hell up and get down on your knees!” The robber growled, and Luke slowly complied, hands raised. “Same goes for all of you! Get down on your knees!”

Everyone began to follow his orders, even his accomplices. We all knelt down.

“Except you guys, you morons!” The robber scolded his men.

“Right, right,” they responded, promptly standing back up.

I noticed one of the robbers staring at me. Uncomfortable, I averted my gaze. Yeah, I felt totally uneasy the moment these black dogs barged into the hall.

The leader of the gang focused on Luke; the gun was still trained on him. “You cherish your life, don’t you?”

“Is that a question you really want to ask?” Luke replied playfully. “Can we just cut to the chase?”

“I’m the one in charge here!” The robber shouted immediately.

But you’re not the one with the money,” Luke taunted him.

“You better be grateful I haven’t blown your brains out.”

“Well, if you kill me, how are you going to get your hands on the money?” Luke smirked sarcastically.

“I don’t know, but I’ll be satisfied seeing your lifeless body on the floor.”

Andre’s phone started ringing, catching the attention of the robber. But with our hands raised, he couldn’t turn off the phone.

“Whose phone is that?” the robber asked, locating the source of the sound. He approached us, annoyed, and struck Andre’s head with his gun.

Andre collapsed, and as he slowly got up, the robber hit him again, causing him to lose consciousness.

“Andre!” I cried out in fear, catching the robber’s attention.
