The End Of Life

Kane was going insane seeing all the helpless people in front of him. It's already been an entire day since they found his brother dead in one of the rooms in their own camp. His world shook when he heard his brother was dead last night. 

He asked everyone who talked to him that day, if anything suspicious happened. His initial guess was if there was someone within the camp who was planning a rebellion against him. He was the dictator, and it's common for some people to feel like this. 

But after interrogating the people in the camp, he heard the girl his brother brought back went missing. Now this was highly suspicious. He passed orders to search the entire camp for her. But even after a whole day, there were no results. It was as if she vanished from the camp. 

"How did she come to this camp?" he asked his underlings. All of them were shivering in fear as they heard his angry voice. All of them slowly looked at each other until everyone's gaze fell on one lean man in the middle. 

Noticing everyone's gaze on him, the lean man took a step ahead and said with fear in his voice, "Boss, the woman came from the downtown area. Young master took us there to find some supplies, and we encountered the small group of people who made a temporary base there."

"When we found them, the young master's eyes fell on this 20-year-old girl and he wanted her for himself. He tried to bring her in but was refused. Then he threatened this girl by saying he will kill all the people there if she doesn't come with us."

"The girl accepted and came with us when she heard this. The young master wanted to enjoy her the day she came, but you gave him another task to do. The next day he got captured by those people who came in the jeep and you gave him another punishment."

"Yesterday after lunch, he finally couldn't hold himself anymore and dragged her into a room on the first floor. He closed the doors and told us not to come inside no matter what. We naturally agreed to this and remained outside."

"Even after a few hours we didn't hear any sort of noise from the other side, so we went inside to see what happened. By then, the young master had a bullet in his head and was found dead. The girl he took in was nowhere to be found. We then came and informed you immediately." 

As the man spoke his body was shaking the maximum. His back was drenched with cold sweat as the room was silent. No one spoke and Kane remained on his seat with both his hands on the desk, looking at the man before him. 

"Then what about this woman? You say you couldn't find her anywhere in the whole camp. Did you try to go to the place we found her group and see if she was there?" 

The man nodded and said, "We did boss, but there is no one there. They emptied the whole place with not a single soul living there. By the looks of it, they also left in quite a hurry." he hurriedly explained. 

Silence took over once again. Everyone could hear their hearts beating loudly, filled with anxiousness. Everyone knew the amount of love the man had for his younger brother. Both of them lost their parents at a young age, and the man before him came into the underground scene when he was in his teens. 

He overthrew the old boss and started his own business of smuggling. He smuggled everything from woman to high technology machinery the country has banned. But even with all this, his love for his only family member never decreased. 

"Did you search the surrounding areas?"

The man nodded and said, "Yes, Boss. We searched every building around us. We didn't find that girl. We could cover only 3 to 4 streets around us. If we went further, our people's lives would be in danger"

"Then keep searching more. Search for a longer distance. I don't care what happens, but I need that girl in front of me. Do I need to tell you guys how to do even this? Now get all your asses out there and search for the girl." he shouted as he banged the table in front of him.

Everyone shivered once again under Kane's rage. They all nodded and slowly went out one by one. As everyone left, Kane sat back down in his seat and exhaled. He was feeling uncontrollable rage inside him, but he didn't act it out. 

He couldn't show his weakness in front of these ugly bastards during these crucial times. The moment he does so, would be his end as the leader of the camp. He looked at the picture on his desk. It was him and his brother a few years before. 

Taking the photo into his hand he clutched his hands, crumbling the paper and said with anger in his voice, "Don't worry brother. I will find this girl and the person who killed you for sure. I will kill them with my own hands and bring justice for your death." 

Kane released the piece of crumbled photo and kept it aside. He looked at the ceiling, waiting for any news on the woman. 

As Kane was feeling uncontrollable rage in him, the one responsible for his brother's death was already on the highway towards Evergreen city. Mark did not stop anywhere after coming out of the woods. He directly exited the city and got on the highway to evergreen city. 

He looked at his watch and noticed it was already past lunch. He looked around and found everywhere around them there were only grassy plains. There wasn't a single building to stop by and eat. He looked back and noticed Suzie was already awake.
