Chapter 20 Wrong man
*Flashback*
…
Larry and Skyler both walked inside Larry’s office.
Larry closed the door before turning to him.
“Okay, your words better be good.”he said as he moved to his seat and sat down.
“Your brother is in danger,”Skyler started.
“I came here because I want to give you some heads up. After we all left the army, they didn’t back us on us. Even now, I think I’m being monitored and if I at all do any damn thing suspicious, they would have me killed. I believe they are after Garry now just like me.”he explained.
Larry brows perked up in confusion.
“I don’t get, you mean you are being tailed??.”
“Yeah!. Our lives are in danger. You and I could pair up and…”
“Okay, stop. This sounds crazy. Well, let’s just assume it is as it is just as you have said, it’s non of my business. He would deal with his shit alone.”Larry rolled his eyes.
“We both know you don’t mean that. You and Garry are fucking identical twins. If they should get hold of you instead of him, trust me, they would have killed you way long before they realize that!.”Skyler pointed out.
Larry seems lost in thought for a while.
“So what did you say we do?.”Larry finally asked.
“I think we come up with a plan.”Skyler replied.
***
Later on that day, when Larry received a phone call from his father.
After checking the ID and finally picking it up….
“Hello, Dad?.”Larry said on the phone.
“Can you make it to America tommorow?.”Mr Brown asked.
“What?, why so sudden?.”
“Can you friggin make it?.”his dad asked.
“Okay.”Larry replied and Mr Brown disconnected the call.
He placed his phone down.
Why is he suddenly asking him to come over?.
So unusual.
His other part urged him to go, but, the other one, it just kept telling him to stay back.
He felt the urge to tell Skyler also but he turned it down.
No. He will deal with his business alone.

After leaving Annie in the car, he went inside the house.
He met his father there sitting on the chair.
A cup of black tea was placed on the small table in front of him.
“The hell!, father. What’s this son of a bitch doing here?.”
Garry who was sitting at the other side stood up upon seeing Larry.
He was seriously fuming in rage.
Just looking at him, he felt like ripping his head off his neck.
Killing him just like he killed their mother.
“Seriously?, is this the reason why you called me, dad?.”Larry scoffed angrily.
“You made me feel like I just wasted my entire 48 hours!.”
“Shut it up, you sons of devil!. If not for the love I have for your mother, I would have called you bastards and disown you both!.”Mr Brown yelled.
“He is the bastard here!.”Garry said and pointed at Larry.
Larry scoffed and pocketed his hands.
“Okay, I’m giving you both a second chance. Work things out between you guys and let’s be that happy family we all were before. Isn’t the death of your mother enough?, do you wanna kill me with all your assholes bitchy ass again?. This is the last chance. If you fail to work things out, then, no more fathering thing!, cause I will disown you both immediately!.”Brown expounded.
“I’ll rather get disowned than get together with this piece of sh*t!.”Garry said between gritted teeth and walked out of the house.
Mr Brown stared at him and breathed out a sigh.
“This is actually really stupid. I cannot believe I came all the way from Russia?.”Larry said.
“You both just kill me already!!.”Mr Brown yelled.
“Now, get out. Don’t wanna see any of your ugly faces anymore!.”he said and wheeled his chair away angrily.

*present time*
…..
Garry noticed someone was following him and he quickened his steps.
From his side view, he could see it was a lady.
A spy perhaps.
His normal route is straight down but he curved into a corner so as to lure the spy in.
There was no much people around.
He then slackened his steps when they got to a more quite place and Annie finally caught up with him.
“Oh, my!. What the hell is wrong with you?. I’ve been calling your name several times but just wouldn’t answer. Do you plan on deserting me into this unknown environment?. Gosh, I never thought you were this stupid!.”she shouted thinking it was Garry.
The next thing she knew, she was slammed across the hard wall.
“Ah!”she winced in pain.
“Uugh!!!!!…..”
She shut her eyes tightly.
The pain was so excruciating.
“Stupid?.”he scoffed with a slightly raised brow.
Annie opened her eyes and instead of that brown pair of eyes, she met with the blue one.
Instead of a grumpy look, there came this gruff one.
…
“Hey!. Did Larry tell you where he went to?.”Skyler asked while stepping inside Sam’s office.
“Why did you care.”Sam scoffed.
“This Is serious, please. Do you know where he went to?.”Skyler asked again.
“Well, yes. America, he said.”Sam blurted out.
“What?!.”Skyler exclaimed.
“Okay, I’m not supposed to tell you that. But, anyways, it’s all good since it’s you…”Sam grinned.
Skyler frowned at him.
He doesn’t know why his mind keeps telling him he’s gay.
Well, he better not like him if at all!.
He walked out of the office hurriedly.

Larry’s eyes slowly went opened.
He squinted his eyes while trying to get over the great pain he was feeling on his head.
He stared around weakly.
Where the hell is he?.
He tried moving but he couldn’t.
What?.
He looked down at himself and gasped.
He was tied around a long pole with a wire both on his wrists and legs.
The fuck!..
He began to struggle.
He opened his mouth to yell out for help but he has been gagged.
His shouts ended up in muffled cries.
He closed his eyes.
What is happening?.
Is this a nightmare?. It better be.
Who did this to him?.
He tried to remember what happened and the last happenings came rushing in.
He remembered looking for Annie and then…. he was knocked out!.
Wait!.
Annie!!!!.
What happened to her?!!!!…
Is she save????…
His wrists has began hurting because of how tight the wire were around it.
He heard the sound of the door creaking and his eyes snapped opened.
The door opened and a young unfamiliar figure stepped in.
“You’re…. you’re awake?.. boss!, he’s awake!.”
He ran out.
Larry wanted to call him back and make some enquires about where he was but he couldn’t as his mouth has been tapped.
He then looked around.
The room he was in was large but plain.
It was painted in a green color and the light in it was dimmed white
He sighted a table in the center of the room.
Some electronics were roughly placed on it.
Oh, God!.
Where is he?.
The boy from earlier returned with a man, in his early forties, probably…. he may be the supposed boss.
Two huge men followed them in.
“Welcome back, Garry!.”He said with an evil grin.
A lit cigarette was held in the middle of his fingers.
He took a drag of it and puffed out some smoke.
Larry’s eyes glinted.
Garry?.
They wants Garry but he ended up being captured instead!.
The man signaled to one of the boys behind him and he nodded.
He moved to him and opened the tape on his mouth.
Oh!.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Larry breathed out heavily and coughed.
“Where… where am I?… I am…”
“Hey!. Give him some beatings first, as a welcome back party!!.”
##
“You’re a spy, aren’t you?. Tell me, who sent you?.”Garry demanded.
Annie gazed at him.
Who is he??..
“You’re… you’re… you’re not Larry, are you?.”she managed to ask as she let’s out another wince.
Garry scoffed.
“They sent you, right?. They are the one?. Well, don’t worry, cause soon, I’ll send your corpse to them.”
And then, Annie felt the tip of a knife on her neck.
