25. Revenge
"Now is your chance." Patricia looks at Fabian hopefully. She hands him the hideout of Robinson as per the plan. The plan was to surround Fabian for trespassing their location, thus killing him the process.
"How did you get this?" Fabian knows it's a silly question but he has to buy time. He has to buy time to notice any changes in Patricia's expressions. But to his dismay, she manages to keep a straight face.
"She gave it to me. I have her in my hands. She thinks I am with her, but oh boy! How wrong she is!" she turns on the TV to show the video, this time with audio.
Fabian had expected something like this but he had to act shocked. Even though it was acting, he did ball his fists after seeing how ruthlessly Haseena was killed. She switches off the TV and turns to Fabian.
"I am giving you full freedom. Get your revenge and do it right."
Fabian knows this is a trap. He has to go to the hideout for the plan to work. But he has also promised to return safely. Can he keep that promise?

Nina is walking to and fro in the living room, anxious as to what will happen to Fabian. She trusts him but not Patricia. She knows he can save himself but still, a nagging voice in her mind wouldn't stop worrying her. Alphie is with her in the room, equally anxious. He doesn't want to lose a friend.
He suddenly gets a call from his reporter friend and walks out to take the call. Nina notices it. Alphie rushes in within minutes with a confused expression on his face.
"What happened?" Nina asks, dreading it wasn't remotely related to Fabian.
"I thought we were done with the interviews." Alphie says looking at Nina, "You and Mara have an interview scheduled in the villa in 15 minutes!"
"What interview again? Why weren't we told about this before?" Nina asks, equally shocked. Was this the plan of Patricia and Robinson? She might have scheduled this to distract them from Fabian.
"It is weird that I did not get a call from Patricia." Alphie nods in approval. "But nonetheless, we have to get ready. I haven't even been briefed about the interview so you have to handle it well Nina." Nina nods and goes up to inform Mara.
She keeps having this sinking feeling in her stomach. Is Fabian alright?

Fabian is struck with the same sinking feeling in his stomach as he reaches the hideout, his gun pointing ahead. Was it a good idea to come here alone? The place seems deserted but he knows it,s not true.
The guards slowly surround him, unarmed. Fabian lowers his gun and throws it on the ground. He runs to hit a guard and fierce fight follows. Fabian struggles to fight so many guards at once but everything stops when he hears someone clap. Fabian was already on the ground and stands up on his wobbling legs to see who it was.
"Finally the man in the flesh." Robinson points at her guards beside her. They drag Fabian towards her. He tries to get out of the hold but is knocked down easily with the back of the guard's gun. His head was now bleeding.
"You aren't fighting fair." Fabian frames his words with difficulty, pointing at the gun in Robinson's hand.
She kneels down to be face-to-face to him. "Life isn't fair. Such a loss of a handsome face and a strong man." She chuckles before aiming at Fabian.
"You are scared." Fabian says. "You are scared to lose this power. But mind you, even after my death, you will lose all of this."
Robinson doesn't want to hear anymore as it was angering her. She aims at Fabian's lower stomach and shoots.
BANG!
Fabian falls on the ground, clutching his stomach. Blood was dangerously flowing out of his system but he doesn't flinch.
"You will not get away with this." Fabian says as he is showered with kicks and punches by the guards. Thankfully, Robinson lifts her hands in some time, indicating them to stop.
"I want you to feel the torture before you die. I want you to remember the way I killed Haseena. At least she had a painless death." She chuckles as the guards escort her out of the place. But not before doing the thing she wanted to do.
She put the whole place on fire and left. Fabian was writhing in pain as the flames were engulfing him. The only person he could think of was Nina. It is said that people see the person they love the most moments before their death.
And he could see Nina, running towards him from between the flames.
"FABIAN!" Nina shouts as Fabian could feel his eyes closing, slowly.
At least he saw Nina in his dreams one last time. But he could feel someone slipping a hand to hold him up.
Wait! It isn't a dream!
Nina is here!
