Short Mystery Story
Gael Garza Martinez
“What? Where did he go? Did you lose him?” said Paulo through the phone while he was trying to run and hide from him. Shortly Julius answered with a voice that seemed tired. He was trying to catch his air after that sprint he did. He ran like he was running for his life; except this time, he was. “He was chasing me; I don’t know how he can be that fast. So damn fast for an old man like him. Wait let me check were he’s at. He’s just outside Little Caesars, shit here he comes ag…” Julius said. After that, all Paulo could hear was nothing. With Julius running his Air Pod fell off and he just did not seem to care to lose his communication with Paulo.
Julius and Paulo are brothers, Paulo is 5 years older than Julius. They were both running from someone, apparently, he was dangerous, but his face was not visible, only the physique. He was carrying a cane. But with all the hate his knee seemed to be fixed. All they knew was that person chasing them was a patient or someone close to a patient they were taking care of. The two brothers were taking care of a middle age male with a brain tumor. The patient was near death, as he was now having trouble breathing and the medications, they gave him instead of stabilizing the problem with his breathing it only made it worse. The patient passed away, he was taken to the morgue and when Julius and Paulo got home their sister was slain. The only thing they found at home was the broken camera from the entrance and a cut in their sister’s arm that said, we are now even. The brothers quickly deduced that this was a sick revenge for what happened to the patient. Paulo immediately remembered that the chief of the police owed him a favor and he wanted this man captured and immediately going to the electric chair. The police sent after him were found dead and put in a fridge in Julius’ and Paulo’s house. The police were quick to turn against them, this meaning that they were being chased by the police now. They both took the matters into their hands and sought vengeance for what was done to their sister. After all the research done in who the possible person was, they found his house. Which was a mistake because he was already expecting them and with a knife behind the door only got to make a hit Paulo’s leg. They were quick to escape the house, but this person chased them. After that escape they had what happened was Julius’ Air Pod falling off and loosing comms with Paulo.
Julius got to Paulo as quick as he could. Paulo could not go as far as he wished. Just as Julius was started to apply pressure and try to disinfect his brother’s leg a sound was heard. As the sound got closer a ’87 mustang parked in front of the place they were hiding. A man of about 60 years got down of the car with a switchblade. The two brothers had no where to run…
