Episode - 3: Underground

The incident shattered all of us. We expected to rescue the hunted, but unexpectedly, we were betrayed to be portrayed as the Hunters. Gowtham had been talking with Michael and I was silently staring at the window, not being sure of what we have done!
"Confessions huh?" said Doug
"No sir! We weren't actually sure of it!"
"Sure of what?"
"How were we traced by the Gang who took over the Club?"
"Did you see the guy who took over the place?"
"No sir! But all we know was that, this guy was the master of disguise! We saw many people being tortured. As we approached one of them, discreetly, we noticed that the men torturing them were completely dressed in Black! All of them were in professional suits."
"Uh-huh!"
"Any deducing's from the explanation?"
"Do I look like Sherlock Holmes huh?" asked Doug, punching my arm.
"We don't know his name. But we need to know their attack patterns and he must definitely have a weakness to be knocked off!"
"Do you think Gangsters are ready to fight with the fighters?"
"But....."
"Nah! You're not sure of your facts son. Get your things right! These gangsters have people who are paid in thousands and lakhs to take care of that bastard who pays them. They stay loyal until they're being overpaid than their boss! Money... Just Money speaks!"
"We tend to live normal lives, but with bigger dreams" interrupted a voice from behind. It was Michael. "Life will never be easy. It always tries to put forth bigger challenges, which unleashes the best of us!" added Gowtham.
"Did you guys expect us before we attacked you?" asked Gowtham.
"We heard that there were two rebels who pushed their boundaries and they have pissed off their boss! We didn't knew that it was you people. Hence, we tried testing if you were really those Fighters, because till date there was no one who came searching for us here in Ricket! We created that fight and saw your fighting pattern, it was then that we realized, that your were fighters. Then came my Dad to divert your attention and then while you were talking to him, I attacked from behind. I never saw that Deathblow coming!" spoke Michael.
"It was a nice move though. We never did that kinda fighting. We were all solo!" said Doug.
"This guy fought solo always. But your son was rock solid. We had to give him a blow that would piss you off both. But that was so hard, he was unconscious and you were pissed off! we didn't see that coming!" said Gowtham punching me and talking to them.
"What shall we do now?" I asked.
"Let's not take any hasty moves or unnecessary decisions. Let's wait and hide here in the safe house for sometime!" said Michael.
"Hiding? There are people like us out there." said Gowtham.
"They are fighters remember!" quoted Doug.
All we wanted was a safe place for now. Let's get undercover until, the crazy maniacs who followed us at the hospital are driven away. As days passed by we were shifting places, and finally shifted to a place at the end of the city. This place is quite simple, subtle and what all we needed were a bit farther than we expected but that's fine as we can fetch them with a little help from the neighbours. Doug had friends all over the place that we lived by, and that helped us a lot really. Michael, and Gowtham became very good friends as we travelled and it was a good thing. We didn't sense any danger until we stay this way, but this isn't what we aimed for! As I hear a quote, the ship is great at the shore but that isn't what it is made for!
