Chapter 50: Twins getting played around?
Ava and Isla were hiding underneath the truck, hoping that the two soldiers wouldn't be coming for them and that it could be something else.
The soldier, after approaching the truck, doesn't waste any time and looks underneath the vehicle to see if they missed something, seeing there are two dirty-looking boys in ragged clothes; their faces are covered in dirt, and he can also smell the unpleasant smell coming from them.
He doesn't waste any time; he pulls out his handgun and points at the two beggars hiding underneath the vehicle and says in a voice, not too loud, as he doesn't want to cause a commotion to alert the leader if it could resolve peacefully.
Ava has seen one of the soldiers trying to look underneath the truck; she doesn't try to run; she knows it would be a futile attempt in front of healthy, trained soldiers.
They hadn't eaten anything yesterday, and they were all feeling weak and tired as a result, more importantly, her sister's foot was injured; she wouldn't be able to run far even if they tried. Ava knew they needed to find a way to peacefully resolve the situation before it escalated further, especially considering Isla's injury.
But she knew they would definitely get a beating for this, and it would be hard to survive from getting beaten up, so she had already made a decision she couldn't make beforehand.
But now her resolve grew more given how hopeless there are in living in the slum. After getting out of there, they would start to steal from people to make a living because they also wanted to live a comfortable life, and it would also help them heal their injuries faster.
And she would try next time with better conditions when another military convoy visited the area, as she wouldn't give up trying to leave this hellhole.
She was determined to escape at all costs; for now, they had to get out of this situation with the least bit of injury possible, and seeing the handgun pointed in their direction she had decided she would tell them that she only wanted to steal some food without mentioning anything about trying to sneak inside the Tier 2 city; otherwise, their miserable fate would be even worse.
The rude colleague next to the soldier, seeing him pull out his handgun, didn't say anything and followed after him without a word, as he knew even this retard wouldn't pull out a pistol for nothing. He had taken position a few meters away, thinking if whatever dangerous inside tried to attack the soldier, he would provide cover in time.
The soldier, seeing the two beggars said in a voice, only the two dirty-looking rats in front of him could hear.
"You two come out now and put your hand over your head and don't make a noise or else you'll regret it."
Ava and Isla, listening to the soldier's command, slowly emerged from their hiding spot, fear evident in their eyes as they obeyed the soldier's command strictly to not make any sound, knowing one bullet from the handgun would end their lives.
Solider, seeing the two beggars coming from underneath the truck following their instruction, felt relieved knowing he didn't have to use force on them as it would definitely alert the other soldiers nearby.
The colleague seeing the two rats in dirty clothes coming from underneath the truck felt angry, knowing he had delayed his sleep due to these dirty beggars he believed they must be trying to steal food from the vehicle.
He would let them go although he already decided to teach them a lesson for disturbing his sleep without causing any commotion, as he also didn't want to alert the leader for this little thing.
So he decides to take the command, putting his handgun in his holster once again as he doesn't think they are a threat to him, thinking,
'Even if these dirty guys had a knife on them, they wouldn't stand a chance against him.' but he knows they don't have a knife on them, seeing their appearance.
He also knew that the retard next to him would follow the protocol and would keep his hand on him all the time, as they were the same unit. During this mission, he came to understand him a little.
The colleague said in an arrogant voice to the soldier next to him, "I don't need your help in this; I would handle these beggars myself," with a smile on his face.
Solider doesn't say anything to this or see his putting his handgun in the holster, as he already came to understand his asshole. He wanted to let them go without doing anything, but he knew his fucker would not let this pass and have some fun beating them little.
He also doesn't mind it that much; he wouldn't try to argue because of some beggars, but he said in a solemn voice, reminding the colleague.
"Okay, do what you want, but be careful not to make too much noise and leave them in their walking condition." After saying this, he paused for a second and continued with a glint in his face.
"And if it caused commotion, I would literally punch the fuck out of you."
The colleague wanted to argue, but he knew this retard was serious this time and didn't want to fight because of some street rats, so he said in an annoyed voice.
"Even I know that; don't worry, I would be careful not to make a commotion."
Ava and Isla were paying attention to their unfiltered conversation while their hands were above their heads. They already knew they would get beaten up today; however, they were already prepared for this to happen, so they were standing quietly, keeping their heads down, as she knew people could notice their feminine features if they looked carefully from closer range.
She absolutely doesn't want to let them find out that they are girls, knowing it could be both good or bad for them according to the type of soldier in front of them, nevertheless, she wouldn't risk it on luck, so the best case is for them to get beaten up as boys in this lawless city.
The colleague looked at the two beggars' ragged and dirty appearance; he felt a little disgusted, but he still wouldn't give up on the chance to relieve some of his stress on these two beggars in front of them and ordered in an arrogant tone while being careful not to make his voice too loud.
"You two rats quickly move the back of the truck with your hands over your head." Seeing them move silently, the two soldiers followed after the beggar; he didn't check their bodies for weapons because, seeing their appearance, he didn't think something was underneath the ragged clothes.
Ava had done this intentionally last night to their one pair of ragged clothes to prevent them from checking their bodies with their hands and found out they were girls, and it did work out well for her.
Reaching the area where no one would be able to notice them, he felt relieved, but during the walk, he spotted that one of them was walking a little off; he guessed he would be injured given they didn't have any shoes on them, which still wouldn't affect him. It makes him even more excited to beat the one who is already injured.
Seeing the two beggars keeping their heads down, he told them to make their heads up to look at him, and seeing the fear evident in their eyes, he felt satisfied, and he could already see these two boys in front of him, probably fourteen to sixteen years old.
But he wouldn't let them go just because they were probably minors; they had tired of stealing supplies from them, therefore he would teach them a good lesson, and knowing these two were boys, even if the leader found out, he beat them up, he thinks.
'She definitely wouldn't say anything knowing how biased she is toward the male gender.'
He even thinks his image would be better than before in front of her, knowing he has stopped some beggars from stealing their supplies. He felt relaxed about this, but he still wanted to teach them a lesson without attracting anyone's attention because some of those so-called good soldiers would probably criticize him for beating weak little boys.
As a creepy smile appeared on his face, he looked toward the both of them and said in a sinister voice.
"Given how weak and dirty you look, I would go easy on you two and only hit both of you three times and let you go; aren't I generous rats?" pausing for a second, he continued with a wider smile.
"But if you make any sound that anyone else hears, I won't say anything about that; I will keep the surprise for later; you can try to scream if you want to."
The soldier next wanted to say something about him playing his sick game on these weak beggars, but he didn't want to argue with him and delay more and wanted to end it as soon as he could, so he kept quiet, still holding the handgun in his hand according to protocols.
Ava and Isla, seeing the creepy smile on his face, know they are going to get beaten up hard; they didn't think they could easily take their hits from a trained soldier without making much sound, and knowing how weak their body is, cold sweat started to trickle down their bodies and fear was evident in their eyes while their legs were shaking a little.
