A light in the middle of the darkness

Christopher, confident that he was totally alone, begins to prepare some dark bags to wrap Serena's body, some tape, and some ropes, he also takes out the shovel and mounts it to the truck, and spreads a kind of bag on the trunk. cloth, this with the aim that Serena's blood did not fall.

Carlos watched him hidden from one of the corners of the warehouse, when he saw what he was doing, he knew that it was not necessary to be very astute to know that something was up to Christopher, he felt inside as if a knife was going through his chest, The idea of knowing that Amanda was dead gave her chills, she was far from knowing that she was still alive, that the poor thing that was doomed to that fate was the other lover.

Cristopher, after having organized things in his truck, enters the warehouse again, leaving the door open, so Carlos makes sure that he does not see him and enters behind him, hides behind some boxes and sees how he continues straight towards the room, when he sees that Cristopher takes out some keys from his pocket, his heart races, he looks at his phone, he already knew that he had to call the police a long time ago, but he doesn't have a single line of coverage, he just prayed to himself for Lucia to have called the police, even though Carlos was very brave, he wasn't sure he would face Christopher alone.

Meanwhile Cristopher enters the room, in the midst of all his tranquility his face turns pale when he sees such a gruesome scene, the two women were lying on the mattress on the floor, a lake of blood was next to Serena and Amanda was passed out He just takes a deep breath and curses, puts his hands to his head.

She approaches and hits Amanda with her foot trying to wake her up, but she is totally unconscious, she even thought she was dead, she hits her again and she feels that they both emit small moans.

Serena was alive! “ he murmurs” he begins to walk desperately around the room, now that everything was more complicated, he realizes that he left the weapon that he has kept in the glove compartment of his car, the only way to kill them was with it, he did not dare to touch them while they are alive, so he again leaves the room, while Carlos makes sure he is leaving the cellar and quickly enters the room.

And as if he had seen a ghost, his face turns pale and his insides tremble, he is not able to react immediately, he approaches and makes sure, it is Amanda, she was smeared with Serena's blood, so the worst thoughts come to mind. they came to his head.

But from the corner of his eye through the door he realizes that Christopher is coming back and he gets behind it, he had to take him from behind when he entered. His hands trembled, despite being very bold and brave, the situation was breaking him, he only saw stars, seeing Amanda in that situation, combined with his nerves, were making him dizzy, however, when Christopher enters and feels that the door it gets stuck when trying to open it completely, he grasps his weapon.

He also gets nervous, makes sure that Amanda is still lying on the floor and cautiously moves away from the door, while Carlos, back in the situation, also wields his own.

Cristopher opens the door and stands face to face with Carlos, they are both signing up.

“Who the hell are you?!” Christopher speaks to him with hate.

“It's good that you don't know who I am, but if I can tell you that I know exactly who you are, put the gun down, or I'll shoot you.”

“Put it down, who do you think you are?” Cristopher releases him with irony, Carlos approaches him even closer, he does not move from where he is, but he prepares the weapon to shoot directly in the head

“You are a bastard! Look what state Amanda is in. Why did you do all this to her?” Carlos refutes defiantly and with anger.

“What do you care? Are you Amanda's? His lover of hers?”

"Whoever I am doesn't matter" they both didn't take their eyes off the other, Christopher took a step back and Carlos followed him pointing straight at his head, it was uncertain who would be able to shoot first, both were at a crossroads.

“I think I'll also have to kill you, I don't know who you are, but I won't risk leaving witnesses” Upon hearing these words, Carlos grips his weapon even more and they get closer to him. He tried to intimidate him while he looked for a way to disarm him without risking his life or that of either of the two women.

But the two are shocked, when Amanda wakes up and straightens her head a little confused by what is happening, she believes that what she is seeing is a hallucination, "her love was going to her rescue for her", she imagined that he was dying and that is why he was seeing what he was seeing, he shook his head at the surprised gaze of the men, he tries to stand up, but it is difficult for him.

Carlos feels like he is dying when he sees her in that state, she had lost too much weight, her face was totally emaciated, her body was worn out, she was dirty and emitted a bad smell, her hair was destroyed, and of that sensual woman he had met there was nothing left. more than the memory, but that didn't matter to him, he loved her with all the strength of his soul, seeing her like this gave him more strength to fight.

“Amanda my love, my life I will save you” tears ran down Carlos's cheeks.

“ My love? my life? So, you're her lover, oh please, if you knew all this, I would simply accuse you of being unfaithful, Amanda! Amanda! Why have you always made everything so difficult?” Cristopher responds sarcastically and lowers the gun

“Yes, you can say that I'm his lover, but I'm not going to let you do anything else to them, put the gun down or I'll shoot you, you wretch” Carlos was determined, and he also prayed for the police to arrive immediately.

“Well, it's not going to be like that” Cristopher grabs his weapon again and grabs Amanda by the hair” well, it's up to you, do you die first, does she die? I give you a choice” at that moment Carlos is powerless and with a lump in his throat, the situation is more difficult than he expected

“Kill me, but let her go, it's enough with everything you've done to her Christopher”.

“Who do you think you are to give me orders?” When he said that last thing, he pulled Amanda's hair more causing her pain, she just moaned

“Carlos please go away, there is no point anymore, try to run away, go without me and tell the world what happened, take care of my children please” Amanda tells Carlos with the last strength she has left.

“ No! I will never leave you here again even if I end up dead, I don't care.”

“Oh, how ridiculous!” Christopher makes fun of them both” what a beautiful love story ha ha ha they really look beautiful, but well, like a couple of cute little birds they will both die and right here” Christopher points at Amanda's head, but sirens are heard from the police

Carlos feels a relief in his heart, Lucia had kept her word, although she did not know what was about to happen, she was grateful that a light was seen at the end of the road.

Christopher gets desperate, he knew he didn't have time for anything anymore, so he pushes Amanda over Carlos, and runs out, he had to flee as fast as he could or else he could go to jail, Carlos receives Amanda who is half passed out, but she knew she couldn't let Cristopher escape and she lets go and she tries to hold on, Cristopher is trying to get out of the cellar but Carlos shoots him, he tries to go after him, but Amanda comes out and shows him that blood is coming out of her nose, Carlos, disconcerted, returns to her side, he needed to help her, and the police would take care of it.

Unfortunately for everyone, Christopher had fled.
