NOVEL NEXT Chapter 5: I got Caught
STELLA'S POV—
When I reached the Times Square, I saw an enormous amount people there. Like this world, we also have a Times Square back in our world. So, I have a very personal experience with it. This much public means either a celebrity is coming or, a politician is going to give a speech here.
Approaching a couple, I asked, "What's happening here? Why there are so many people here?"
The female said, "Oh, you must be new." Why the fuck everyone is saying this to me?
She added "You are not going to believe it. Taylor Swift is going to perform here. Yahooo!!!"
The male said, "Yeah, you should hurry up and buy the tickets. It's going to be completely sold out."
"Yeah. Ok. Thank you." Guess, there's also a Taylor Swift here. She and her brain-dead fans are literally everywhere. And mind you, I am not a fan of hers. Who the fuck gets famous by writing songs on her exes?
After walking away from that couple, I stood there and observed my surroundings. Will Nick Fury be here? I still don't know the extent of HYDRA'S infiltration in the SHIELD.
Suddenly, I spotted some HYDRA'S soldiers in the mass. Fuck it! I am not fighting them. I can't risk the lives around me. There are innocent people around me. Although killing people like the HYDRA soldiers is a meagre task for me, I can't hurt innocent people.
Are they here for me? Or they just want to cause havoc here? One, two, three and four, there are ten HYDRA soldiers here in total. One of them spotted me. Fuck! Pushing the people around me, I started to go deeper into the crowd. I looked back and found him, and the others to be following me.
I was lost and there were people around me everywhere. Thinking that I lost them, I found that the same bastard spotted me again. He was practically trying to run towards me. Shit! Where should I go?
I saw a counter in front of me. I knew it very well that what type of counter that was. I went to the counter and asked, "I want a ticket." I gave him the required money. Hah, that woman had really too much money in her purse.
The man at the counter handed me the ticket. Taking it, I went inside the arena where the concert was to be held.
After a minute or so, Taylor Swift came and started singing. God, please stop it, just end my suffering. I don't want to hear her fucking singing. The only reason I wasted money and came here was to lose those soldiers.
But it was in vain, these people are also here. I pulled my hair in frustration. Why the hell are they so persistent? I don't have any other choice but to kill them. I still don't know how to get out of here, and I certainly don't want them to call their buddies. I have to kill them but, without any civilians getting hurt.
Taylor Swift's performance was very loud. It was indeed making my work easier. I stole a sleeping woman's shawl and wrapped it around my head. Moving towards the place, I saw them. I found my first target. The people around me were completely mesmerized by Taylor's singing. Taking it as an opportunity, I took the knife out of his hoister and stabbed his neck, killing him in one shot. I slowly put his dead body among the drunkards, who were sleeping during this fabulous performance. This was the same bastard, who for some reason, spotted me every time.
I slowly made my way to the second one. What the fuck! Is he enjoying Taylor Swift's performance? I tapped his shoulder. As soon as he turned back, I moved ahead of him, such that his back was in front of me. I tapped his shoulder again. I waved at him as he turned towards me.
"Hello!" I greeted him.
"Wha—" He couldn't complete his sentence as I cut him off by breaking his neck.
The third one was holding a child. The child was sobbing, and he had a hand wrapped around his mouth by that bastard. Seeing me, he warned, "Don't move or the child gets a bullet right in his head. Drop that knife." I dropped the knife.
"Let go of the kid. I will not kill you. If you don't, I will kill you. I will kill you very badly."
He flinched from my words. I looked at the child and made a biting action with my mouth. Understanding my gesture, he bit the man's hand and ran towards me.
"Ahhhhh!!!!! You—"
I picked up the knife and threw the knife at that man's head. The knife pierced the man's head, killing him. It's really great. After all this commotion, not a single human has noticed us. Such die-hard fans Taylor has, not a single care about their surroundings.
I crouched down and examined the kid. I asked, "Are you all right?"
Sniffling, the kid said, "Big sister, I am alright." Big sister, Mam... er, I should get used to it.
"Are you some kind of superhero?"
Surprised, I asked, "Why do you think so?"
He replied, "Because heroes always defeat the villains. And you defeated the bad guy."
Laughing at his words, I asked, "What if I am the bad person?"
He shook his head and retorted, "Good persons don't take kids as hostage. So, he was the bad man and you, are the good sister."
"Is that so?"
"Ok! Bye, I have to go. My aunt must be worried about me. See ya!"
Can he really go by himself? I asked, "Can you? If you want—"
"No need, I know where to find my aunt. She told me to meet at the pastry stall in case, if I get lost. So, bye! I hope we will meet again in the future."
Saying this, he ran and disappeared into the crowd. Heh, weird kid. Let's forget about him and focus on that fourth guy.
After some effort, I found the fourth guy. As soon as he saw me, he dashed. Fuck! He is trying to get away. Probably, he wanted to bring more reinforcements. I followed after him. Pushing everyone out of the way, we were now away from the Times Square.
Both of us were at the road. I was on the right side, and he was on the left side. I rushed towards him. Suddenly, a truck came hit me. I was sent flying across the road. I landed hard on the ground.
Unexpectedly, a large number of HYDRA soldiers surrounded me. A man injected me with something. Fuck! It was a trap. My vision was blurred. Shouldn't my body be resistant to all kinds of poison?
"It's not enough. Hit hard on her head," said a voice. Suddenly, a felt something hard hit my head. The last thing I thought was— SHIT!
