The men stood in silence after the boss and his lady were gone. The man standing close to Ellen’s body was staring at her eyes that were still open. He had blood spatters all over his clothes and face. His head was still trying to process what had just happened. He had never watched anyone die in front of him, and certainly not this brutally. His heart was racing. He felt someone push him.

“… do you even hear me?” said one of the men. “You are lucky I stepped in when I did, else you would have been lying next to her right now. Have you gone insane? Talking back to the boss! Keep your mouth shut the next time. You hear me?” the man gave him another push. “You will end up getting us all killed otherwise!”

The man simply nodded his head, still staring at Ellen’s eyes. The shock and fear hadn’t left her face yet.

“Good! Keep your trap shut, and clean up this mess. All that blood is making me queasy. It better be cleaned up before we get back.” After a few minutes, all the men left through the basement door. He heard the loud bang of the door shutting. Alone, his knees gave way, and he fell on the floor. This wasn’t supposed to happen. It was supposed to be a one time job to keep a watch on the kidnapped people. He never expected this to happen. He never even wanted to be here in the first place; he was threatened and forced to do this job. A woman lost her life right in front of him, and he couldn’t even do anything about it.

He couldn’t bear looking at Ellen’s face again. He gently closed her eyes and found a clean cloth and filled a bucket with water, and cleaned up her face the best he could. He then found a large bedsheet and wrapped Ellen around it. She deserves a proper burial. He thought to himself. It took him a good amount of time to carry her body out of the basement. He cleaned up the blood from the basement floor and found a shovel. He was halfway through digging the grave when the men returned. Some of them looked surprised when they saw him, and others had the audacity to laugh. “Seriously, man? Just drop her in the lake, and you are done. What’s wrong with you?”

He wiped the sweat off his forehead and continued digging the grave. All of them went back down to the basement, and he was sure they resumed the card game they were playing before, as if nothing had happened.

He kept on digging the grave, and by the time he was done laying Ellen to rest, he had resolved to save the other woman who was still stuck in the basement, at the mercy of these men. Who knows when the boss might return and shoot her too! He wasn’t sure at first how he would manage it, even though he had promised her he would rescue her.
