“Well, amigo*, what should I do with you? Or should I let my buddy finish you, what you think?”
The captive swallowed nervously again, but for a completely different reason.
“I see that such a prospect doesn’t really inspire you…”
“What are you waiting for, pretty? We’ll get him done – and that’s all!”
A knife flashed in his hand. Not realizing, Mary rushed to him and grabbed the cuff of his sleeve, screaming:
“Please don’t, I beg you!”
As soon as she touched him with her fingertips, the woman, clearly looking at her, shouted:
“Who the hell is this?!”
Maria looked around in bewilderment. It’s impossible to see angels, she knew for sure. The captive took the moment, twisted like a snake, grabbed the knife and raised his arm to stab. Without hesitation, she shielded a man with her body who, perhaps, wasn’t a man at all. The woman screamed and the child, on the contrary, fell silent and flattened himself against the wall even stronger.
“Michael, who is this?!” She heard, falling, supported by the one who apparently was called Michael. Everything swam before her eyes. “But angels ca
ot die... What’s going on?” Mary whispered, confused, feeling the hellish pain in the place where the knife went in.
The attacker pulled the knife right away. Mary gasped and passed out.
“Man, what the hell?!” Michael shouted, raising his fist for a punch.
The man with his eyes widened from fear, not knowing what was happening, sharply jerked his hand, sticking the knife into Michael's stomach. The child screamed and ran. The woman shouted:
“Michael!” And, bursting into tears, fell on Michael's chest. The man threw the knife away and rushed somewhere.
“My dear...” The woman cried, finally trying to join the torn neckline of the dress.
There was nowhere to call an ambulance, and besides, she was afraid to do it. Therefore, some time had passed before she finally brought herself to seek help from other people.
The doctors took Mary and Michael in a state quite similar to George’s state who remained lying completely alone in his completely lonely apartment. Up until the arrival of the ambulance, they had been laying on the damp ground, holding hands. Therefore, assuming that they were spouses or in any other relationship, after medical treatment they were put in the same intensive hospital room. Mary and Michael.
