142 Stop It Right There! (1/2)
The corridor we're walking on right now is... quite weird, to say the least. I mean, it's not THE weirdest thing in the dungeon, absolutely not. It's just that the walls are made of bricks, but the ceiling and the floor is metal, which is filled with so much rust that I almost thought that it would disintegrate once I stepped on it. The clanking sound of our steps echoed throughout the corridor as I walked beside Francis. I'm not quite sure, but I have no idea what is happening with the nurse and the policeman behind us, and at this point, I'm too lazy to look.
The minigun that I'm dragging with both my hands then let out a loud screeching noise all over the room as it hit the floor. It sounded, oh, so unbearable, but I have to be the one to carry this.
”You need help with that, father?” The salesman said as he looked at me with a genuinely concerned expression.
”Nah. I'm good!” I said with a smile as I faked a tired expression. It would be troublesome if I made these people realize that I'm actually strong enough to lift this damn minigun thing with both my hands easily. Also, I absolutely do not want these shady ass people to carry this heavy weapon if I can help it! I will be the one to carry it, and I will never let any of these fuck ups have their skin make contact with the surface of this stupid minigun. ”I'll be fine. Bless you, Francis.”
The salesman then decided to ignore me wordlessly upon hearing this and just graciously bowed down with a somewhat annoyed expression. Well, to be fair, he always gives off that angry vibe every goddamn time.
I then heard the two people behind us giggle as they whisper all sorts of random ramblings beneath their breath among each one another. I noticed that this is enough to ruin the salesman's mood as his steps gradually turn into stomps that made me so nervous. What if he dents the floor or something? Who knows what would happen on a rusted floor?
”Hey, stop that...” I heard the nurse say amid a few nervous chuckles, which made me raise an eyebrow slightly.
I then moved my gaze towards the salesman and saw that he, too, felt kind of icky upon hearing the nurse's silent protestation. However, I think he hates it more because of the notion that the policeman gets to flirt with her... and not him.
”Come on, it's gonna be fine...” I sensed the policeman mutter quietly amid silent smooch noises and loud panting sounds. I then heard a few loud continuous footsteps behind us, which sorta sounded like there's some kind of struggle happening at this very moment between the two of them.
The salesman is now looking very haughty and angry as he gritted his teeth tightly. He then hid both of his trembling hands in his pockets as he continued to ignore the ramblings of the people behind us. I could see the vibration coursing throughout his body, and it's not because he's scared or anything; he's more like an active volcano on the verge of an explosion in about a few minutes or so.
”No... they're looking at us. We should wait...” The nurse's chuckle now disappeared as she began to sound a whole lot more worried and afraid rather than her usual playfulness earlier. Her giggles ceased; it's replaced with a few groans that seemed like a foreboding of a tragedy to come.
”Just shut up, bitch! You're the one clinging onto me so much earlier, and now you're here being like a prude suddenly? What the fuck is wrong with you?” I heard the policeman's angered utterance behind us, which prompted me to stop walking. I then looked behind me to see that the two people quarreling there at my back have now stopped moving altogether.
The policeman wraps the entirety of his arm around Kirstel's waist, pulling her further towards his chest. Meanwhile, the nurse is pulling her upper body far away from the policeman's torso with a look of absolute disgust and fear. On the other hand, the policeman is giving a very broad smile that spans all over the lower half of his face while an angered frown conquers the area around his eyes. The muscled police officer is using his other hand to grip Kirstel's left arms, which makes the lady shake profusely.
”N-no... th-that's not it! I just don't want to do all these with you here with all these people with us!” The nurse retorted with a soft tone that's filled with so much patience. She then used her other hand to massage the policeman's biceps gently as she began to let out a pained smile.
”Just fucking take what a man gives you, bitch!” The policeman roared as he slapped the nurse's hands, making her stop massaging his biceps. She then groaned loudly with a pained hiss as she took a step back away from the policeman. ”I have to remind you that I AM THE REASON WHY WE'RE ALIVE! You should be thankful to me!”
In a shocking turn of events, the policeman suddenly pushed Kirstel on the floor ever so forcefully, which is unnecessary since he could just push her lightly, and the now weakened nurse would still stumble on the floor just the same. Thus, because of the policeman's aggressive treatment, the nurse's body almost flew towards the brick wall with a pained groan. She then started to massage her back with eyes that are about to tear up with both fear and worry.
”C-calm down, policeman. No need to be so violent, please?” The nurse implored upon the policeman gently with a soothing voice. She then tried to go towards him, but after seeing the distorted scowl on the policeman's face, Kirstel decided not to approach him and just go as far away from him as she possibly could.
