15 "Behave and relax Silic. This is a punishment that won't kill you. I promise." Jeric raised his right hand as a sign of promise. "It's a bit painful, so don't shout," he added. They laid me on the bed here in the room of punishment. I was just nervous about what they were doing, for they tied my hand and foot here to the bed so I cannot move. I can only move my head. Turn left and right. I am begging them not to do the 'punishment' they want. I am afraid they did this because of their interest, not because Wrum told them. They explained to me again that this is a punishment for what I did. Stepping at the underground stairs. It's okay with me that they won't feed me for a day or lock me in a room for a day, but this kind of punishment is not good. "Jeric, please just stop this. Lock me in the room as a punishment," I stammered nervously to him. "I'll tell Wrum what you're doing this to me." "We can't feel sorry for you Silic. Even if we want to, but we don't want to violate what he wants," said Jeric. Jeric's smile widened as he approached me. He stroked my hand. "Stop that Jeric. Boss will not be staying in the hospital longer. He will be back as soon as possible." restraining one of his companions. Jeric stopped and just stared at the man. "He didn't order us to do that. You know very well that I have no intention of doing this Jeric. You forced me." the man was about to cry in fear. I want to thank that guy for standing the truth. Now I know that this is not an order from Wrum. Jeric stood up and faced the man. He threatened. "Just follow my order if you don't want me to kill you. This is Wrum's order. Remember that and put that in your mind." "Wrum will never order us to do this Jeric. Remember that too if you don't want to die!" the man shouted and he pushed Jeric signaling it to fall to the floor. The man took the gun of one of his colleagues, he also took his gun, and at the same time, he aimed the gun at one of his colleagues. I didn’t expect this to happen. Jeric got up from his seat on the floor and tried to grab the gun in the man's hand. The other guy also helped Jeric to get the gun from the other guy who stands for truth. While they were still fighting, I tried to get my hands away from the handcuffs my hand was in tightly. It is so tight that I had a hard time getting rid of them. Until I stopped doing it and watched them kill each other. I am afraid they might kill me too. "If you don't stop it, I'll kill you. You'd better help me with my plan than be loyal to Wrum." Wim and one of his companions snatched the gun and then pointed it at the man. He raised his hand as a sign that he would give up. But I was wrong. I thought that man would not fight but he still fought as much as he could. He tried to grab the gun again. Two versus one was the fight and I was the audience. Because of their scramble, they fired it into the ceiling that made me more nervous. I was afraid they would fire their guns at me. But what happened next I didn’t expect. The man was on his knees, blood was coming out of his lips, his hair was disheveled, he was sweating and his body was weak as if he had lost their fight. Jeric grabbed a silencer. He put it in his gun and aimed it at the man's head. I shouted to stop them from killing that guy, but they did not listen to me. No matter what I shout. After all, they are not in competition. They are the people of Wrum and they should be the ones helping each other. But no, they didn’t do it, but instead, they shot that guy in front of me. Bloody man lying on the floor. "You have no mercy on your companion. Demons!" I cry because of the anger I feel. "Call us whatever you want to call, Silic. This is what we do for a hard-headed person, unsociable and especially the non-cooperative person," said Jeric. He even blew the gun in his hand. "I'm afraid this gun can also be used on you Silic. I don't have anything to do right now and you'd better shut up there first." he confronted his companion and discussed how they would put the body of that guy away. It's like I'm going to be crazy for what they made keep on rewinding it to my mind. I heard them that they were going to put that the body away from the mansion and they will hide it from Wrum. To hide the body, they took a body bag. They entered the guy and all I did was to close my eyes so that I could not see what they were doing and when I opened my eyes there was no more blood on the floor. Everything was clean as if nothing had happened at all. Jeric and one of his colleagues also returned here as if they still had plans to continue punishing me. "I am here again to tell you that my punishment to you was still not done. You already saw what happened to my friend because he did not follow me," said Jeric. He stepped on the bed still carrying his gun. He even pointed his gun at my head. He took my hand again. "Choose Silic. Will I kill you or punish you? Tell me what you wanted me to do." I swallowed. My whole body was shaking. "Just kill me too so that it's all over. I have no intention of agreeing to the punishment you want to impose on me." I said. He just shook. "I don't want to kill you without—" "Jeric. I'm not like Mark who prevented me from doing what you want to do but Wrum is here. I'm afraid we'll be killed." his companion said. Looks like someone texted him. I just smiled at Jeric. "Try to continue your plan Jeric. I'm going to report you to Wrum—" I also couldn't continue what I wanted to tell him because he choked me twice in the stomach. "I don't like bomber women like you." he punched my side again. I'm dealing with the pain I feel from the strangulation he did. I noticed my body was slowly weakening and I heard his colleague say that they would just leave me here before Wrum could catch up and kill them. I'm glad Wrum is here but my vision is slowly darkening as well. Hopefully, when I wake up, I’m still alive. I am afraid they will kill me when I am still unconscious. Wrum is the only one who could help me and he will be the one who could get rid of them. I am helpless.
