"ALLEN, RUN!" he heard some of his gang members called him after half of their gang was slain by the other gang. "Madami pa sila and half of us are already killed! I won't let everyone of us be slained. Let's just call it a day."
They are in the middle of a fight between the Anaconda Nera Gang and the Pitone Rosso Gang, the two most powerful mafia gangs in the town. This fight between them is not the ultimate fight they are calling.
It just announces the start of the 3rd war of the century lead by the 3rd century leaders of both gangs. It has just started yet the scene was already intense.
"Ano ba kayo, mga duwag?" Allen stated, with a gun on his left hand, he is behind a hard wall avoiding the bullets for him. "We made an oath to protect Mr. Ciete as a member of our gang. We made an oath so we should also abide by the cknsequences of our own decisions."
"We still want to live and have a grandson, Allen," the boy named Alvin told him. "Bahala ka, kung titigasan mo pa ulo mo, e mauuna na kami."
"You can go first," Allen said while the guns are consecutively shooting. "Dalhin ninyo na sa clinic natin ang mga sugatan."
A wounded man started talking. "Are you really sure you won't come with us, Allen? Magpapakamatay ka na lang ba para lang sa oath na sinasabi mo?"
"Don't ever convince me to come with you, cowards," Allen said with a big emphasization of the last words. "And Tob, let me finish this task for y'all."
Allen faced the enemies and started shooting bullets. He aimed for one of the enemies and killed it. Pagkatapos no'n ay agad muli siyang nagtago sa likod ng pader para palitan ang magasin ng kaniyang pistol.
He looked at Alvin and Tob telling them to leave the place immediately which they all did.
While changing the magazine of his pistol gun, an enemy talked. "Mabuti pang sumuko ka nalang bata, iniwan ka na din ng nga kasamahan mo!"
"Sino ka ba para utusan ako?" tanong ni Allen habang nakatago pa rin sa likod ng pader. "Ikaw ba ang amo ko? Ikaw ba ang nagpapa-sweldo sa 'kin?"
"Kung susuko ka, bata, kulong lang ang pwede mong makuha," ani pa no'ng isang lalaki. "Pero kung mapilit ka, let me finish this one for you."
"Baka naman 'let me finish you all'?" tanong niya at kaagad na hinarap ang dalawang kalaban bago kinalabit ang gatilyo ng magkabilaang pistol na hawak niya. Kaagad muli siyang nagtago at nagdagdag ng bala sa loob ng kaniyang nga baril.
He looked at his left. "In the left, there are two hiding behind the wall," he said before looking at right. "In right, there is only one. And in the middle, there are no one left. I still have many bullets so I can finish them all."
He gazed at the left and started looking for a hole to kill the two. There he saw the two changing the magazines of their guns. He took it as the perfect timing to aim for the both of the men.
And voila, he just did a two consecutive headshots in a split second.
He looked at the one in his right side, the man was wounded and he seemed to be losing his consciousness but was still holding his gun.
He faced the guy and as soon as he faced him, the guy pointed his gun to Allen. Allen jokingly dropped the gun he is holding in his right hand and started raising both his hands in the air.
The guy held the pistol with both of his hands. "What do you want?" he asked Allen which was slowly approaching him. "Why don't you just kill me?"
Allen shrugged his shoulders. "Same question ahead, boy," Allen said with his usual authoritative tone. "Why don't you just pull the trigger and kill me? Above all, we're just enemies and we despises each other."
"What do you want?" the guy asked Allen. "Let me first know what would you want before I kill you."
"You are a rookie but I like that tone in your voice." Allen stared at him directly and smiled at him. "In change of me not killing you, why don't you just join my gang?"
Confusion clouded the guy's face. "What?" the guy asked. "Why would you offer me such a thing?"
"You're a rookie but I think you can be a great warrior in the future, kid." Allen be calling him kid when they are both in the same age spectrum. "So, don't you wanna?"
"I..." the guy gulped and started trembling as soon as he started pulling the trigger slowly. "I..."
"You're confused aren't you?" Allen just smirked. "We offer the biggest benefits, why would you think twice? May contributions kang binabayaran? Gusto mo bayaran pa 'yan ng ANG two times than what PRG pays you? Ang bata mo pa, boy, but be practical. Gamitin din ang utak sometimes."
"Ikaw na mismo ang nagsabi na we all made an oath sa gangs natin," the guy told him so. "How dare you tell me this?"
"Oh, narinig mo ba 'yon?" Allen scratched his head. "Sorry ha, but those words that I told them para lang sa belong. Now, if you want to feel belong, come with me to the ANG."
"I doubt you."
"Of course, we doubt each other, we're enemies for pete's sake." Allen placed both his hands to his sides and gave him the questioning look. "Now, have you decided?"
The guy looked down. "I..." he paused. "I made a promise to my leaders that I will protect them no matter what."
"And killing me will protect them? Wala sila dito, boy. How will you protect them?"
"I might not be protecting them," the boy paused. "But killing one person who gave them so much pain will give me the satisfaction."
The guy pulled the trigger and aimed for Allen's stomach. Allen acted late but still managed to get his other gun on his left side and shoot the bullet at the chandelier above the guy.
He successfully shot the chandelier and smiled as he saw the chandelier struck the guy below it.
"You are so sayang, boy," Allen said before stopping the flowing blood on his gunsho wound. "Those last words, I love it. But... I just can't believe I was shot by a rookie."
His vision started getting blurred and the last thing he remembers is that he fell into the land and lost his consciousness.
