•A MAN OF A THINKER• "Mind putting your hands up and come with us without any fuss, Duke Hermes." A man wearing a police uniform welcomed Duke when he stepped out of the McDonald's, holding the paper bag and with wobbling legs and hands. Gulping real hard and that face of a cornered liar he wears. "Uhm-- you're not going to shave my again, you guys?" All the things he suffered behind the bars, inside the jail suddenly flashed through his memory. Ugly and wants to be erased immediately but no, there's no way he can do it. It stayed tattooed in his head. The way the authorities took all the juices out of him. Made him drank too much water, tortured him as the family of that woman he raped paid the polices to do so. He almost died in his cell. Fortunately someone paid for him to get out of that hell hole he entered. Klyde McMarrow, he saw something in him that nobody doesn't, well it's not like he sees something s

•A MAN OF NO FRIENDS• "Finley, sweetheart. Are you okay? Are you hurt? Tell me, sweetheart. We're going to be fine." Carl whispered to his daughter as they were transferred in an old warehouse, dusty and has all things scattered everywhere on the floor. "I should be the one asking you that, dad. Did they hurt you? Mom is so worried about you, she's been crying all night long, missing you." Finley replied to him with a small smile. "They didn't hurt me. One of them, the tallest one, he told me that he's working with the the police. My phone is still with me, he told me to turn my GPS on. We're going to need him, he's our way to get out of here." "Still, I don't trust him, dad." Finley sighed as they can't move from being tied on a post together. "We have too, and we won't be eating any food not because of him. I am still alive because of him, sweetheart. We need to trust

•A MAN OF MADNESS• "Honey! Oh my God, thank goodness! Are you okay? Where are your pants, darling? What did he do to you?" Amy bombarded Finley a lot of questions as she untied them all. Amy hugged her very tight and sobs. "I'm okay, Mom, he will not hurt me. It was just for the show." She assured her with a smile. "What? I don't understand." Amy has her frown on her forehead. "Just for the show? Have you seen yourself in the mirror? You look like you just came out of a horror movie, Fin!" Dolora exclaimed before giving her a look from head to toe. "Alright, alright, I'll explain everything to you later but first we got to get out of here." Finley pulled Amy's and Ezra's arm to go through the door. "Wait, wait, how do you think we can outrun that insane guy? He has his own freaking car!" Dolora asked with her trembling lips. "Do

•A MAN THAT RETURNS• "Why do you always bring yourself towards that police guy, he doesn't really show a bit likeness of you." Dolora scrunches her face to Finley. "If I were you I'd give up and let them show him what he's missing. I should never say this but you're beautiful. Ugh! I said it anyway, but doing feel it, it won't last long 'cause I'm still the prettiest among us all." She suggested and blabbered at the same time while swaying a little Dolora within her arms. "Do you know how hard the things I did just for him to notice me? His respect is on the highest level! He doesn't want to touch me, he doesn't want to kiss me, man! I think he doesn't even want to look at me!" She exclaimed while frowning real hard. "Like I said a few moments ago, give it up, years of persuasion, nothing happens." Dolora gave her the look that says "believe me because I'm you older sister and you should listen to me".&

•A MAN OF THE PAST• "Wow, I guess... you're damned then." Finley commented before sipping her shake. "Huh?" Rig's tongue was caught by the cat from Finley comment, like his mind stopped for a moment. He already got that kind of comments and even called worse before but hearing such a comment like that from other person just shock him. "But you know what? It's actually an advantage for me. I guess you're being responsible right now, yeah? I think you'd be a great father to our future children. Being workaholic won't do me as long as you crawl me at night." She giggled, leaving Rig with his mouth open. He can't believe this kid, how can she be so... head case? If that's the right word to describe her. "I've read a lot of books before, some romantic sh*ts, like he was an irresponsible at first, left by his first love and family but then after years he will be a goody man w
