45 do you have snack? (2/2)

He was momentarily stunned. His companion was down with his head soaked with blood.

*Chak Chak*

The cocking sound of a shotgun was heard and a cold metallic tip pressed against at the back of his head. Unconsciously, the man slowly raised both of his hand surrendering to the person behind him.

”Hmm, before anything else... brother, do you have a snack?” Seraphina's voice was terrifying as her desperation for food is much more important than anything else.

'At least, I don't —never doubt him.'

”Really?” Riggs whispers. The words Uno told him kept replaying on his head.

'Don't and never doubt him.'

Everyone in the team knew his bottom line, yet when Uno stepped into it —yes, it annoyed him but even more, it was as if he was splashed with a bucket of cold water.

What was he been doing all this time? After Luciano's disappearance, to him, it would only be a few months at most —as they were used to his constant disappearance and vice-versa.

But to everyone's surprise, it was already been a year or two since they last heard from him.

Unlike Uno who would boldly look and investigate Luciano's whereabouts, he, on the other hand, might not admit nor show it to his confidants but as the time goes by, he was growing anxious about Luciano.

There was nothing strange about Luciano when he says he will start his vacation escapade but still, it was unusual to him that his normal bragging about hot girls and how free he was as an individual, in fact, not even a dot was heard since forever.

He was in denial that something might happen to Luciano, his boss, the person he owes his life.

Shrugging the thought at the back of his mind, 'impossible.' He thought internally.

Snapping back from his abstracted state of mind, he gazes down narrowing his eyes as if sizing up the cliff where Seraphina fell down. Although he was not sure if this was the right spot, it is still easier for him if he starts finding her to where the incident occurred.

”Hey madman, ” out of nowhere, Uno's voice was heard behind him. Turning his head to the owner of the voice, his body instinctively caught the big thing Uno threw at him.

”You might as well use that just in case you find her first.” Moving his gaze at the thick ball like the jacket in his hand and a small bag, there was a subtle smirk at his face.

”You kept underestimating me, huh?” Riggs spoke.

”Eeng, wrong. I said just in case —if you find her before me.” Uno turned his back on Riggs, ready to leave the enlightened sheep behind him.

*CRASH*

Just before he completely departed the place, a loud crash was heard —meaning, Riggs already started his own rescue mission in his own way.
