The Estuary of Desire Baruna
Eps. #17 The Face Behind the Mask

One of the two burly men with a full body tattoo was immediately attacked Baruna.

"Receive this, Rancid Boy!" Without further ado, the man directly aimed a punch at Baruna. However, as usual Baruna was very deft to fend off and retaliate directing the same blow to the man.

Fierce fights were inevitable between the two. Although the tattooed man's body was much larger than Baruna's, Baruna was not easily defeated. Instead, Baruna was much more agile to move her body, dodging and attacking the man more cunningly.

"Yeah!" peekkik Baruna while raising one of his legs to the side and the powerful kick hit the right part of the base of the man's legs that he was fighting.

"Aargh!" ringis the man felt pain in the core of his body.

Bruugh!

Instantly the man fell down and his body crashed onto the ground while continuing to groan in pain. Seeing that his opponent had been crippled, Baruna just smiled cynically and then turned to look at the other man.

"Let's go ahead and fight me!" challenge Baruna while showing her haughty eyes to the man.

Seeing his comrade being defeated by Baruna, the man looked very angry. "Don't be happy! It's my turn to finish you off right now!" he snapped while aiming a kick for Baruna.

Fierce fighting is back. This time, the man who was being fought by Baruna was quite capable, so Baruna was quite made to fight against him.

The other man who had been paralyzed by Baruna, slowly began to stand up again. With the rest of his strength, he attacked Baruna.

Ambushed by two people at once, Baruna started to get a little desperate. However, Baruna remained undaunted. Despite being ganged up, Baruna was still able to twitch and dodge quite agilely.

Jeffrey and Tobias who were still in the car kept watching Baruna from a distance.

"It looks like Baruna won't be able to fight those two bodyguard men, Jeff. Should we help him?" tanya Tobias was worried that Baruna would lose against the two big-bodied men.

"Crazy for you, Tob! You're looking to die, aren't you? If Baruna is overwhelmed, what are we?" jeffrey didn't want to take any chances.

Both of them remained silent in their cars, they chose not to go out because they were afraid to see the fighting ability of the thug-looking men.

At the same time, the masked woman who was held captive in the car, managed to steal the negligence of the man who was still standing at the side of his car and was engrossed in watching two of his guards fight against Baruna. In a sneaking manner, the woman got out of the car and tried to escape away from the men.

"The woman ran away! Quickly catch him!" the man shouted as he saw the masked woman running quickly away from his car. He himself was certainly unable to come running after his captive. His stomach just looked so distended, it must have made it very difficult to move, let alone run.

Hearing that shout, the two men who were still fiercely clamoring attacked Baruna immediately turned their heads towards the fat man and stopped his attack on Baruna.

"You go after that woman, I'll get rid of this boy first!" a man's bodyguard orders his friend. The man who was told to obey immediately and immediately ran after the masked woman.

"Baruna .. run, Bar! Follow that woman!" Jeffrey and Tobias screamed not far from where they parked their car. They seemed to be signaling Baruna to run towards them.

Without thinking long Baruna immediately ran quickly after the masked woman.

Baruna's footwork was so fast that she made it past the two men, well ahead of them.

Brugh!

The two men suddenly fell to the ground simultaneously. Both groaned, feeling pain in the calf wrapped around a foreign object that snared his legs without them noticing.

"Ha ha ha! Fuck you!" Jeffrey and Tobias both chuckled and approached the two men.

"Now we're gonna take out these two guys, Jeff!" tobias exclaimed while directing punches and kicks repeatedly towards the two men who had fallen there. The same thing Jeffrey did. Under such circumstances, Jeffrey and Tobias very easily paralyzed the two bodyguards at once, so that the two can no longer dwell.

Previously, Jeffrey and Tobias had indeed prepared a strategy. They deliberately stretched the jumper cables of Tobias' car in the middle of the road that the two men would pass and serve as a trap. Jeffrey and Tobias compactly pulled up the cable as the two men passed by, so they managed to make the legs of the two men as close as possible and eventually both fell down on the asphalt road.

The fat man looked frightened when he saw that both bodyguards had been crippled by Jeffrey and Tobias. The man then got into his car and immediately gas-fired, with lightning fast leaving the scene.

"Aaw!" The masked woman grimaced with pain in her knee.

On one side of the road, he accidentally stumbled on a rock as he was running, and he also fell down on the asphalt he was passing.

The woman had gone far enough to run away leaving the men who wanted to catch her.

"You okay?" Baruna who had caught up with the woman immediately approached her and raised her shoulders to help stand up from where she had fallen.

"It's okay" said the woman, trying to distance herself from Baruna. The woman rubbed her scuffed knee and bled out blood.

"Thank you for saving me again, Baruna." A sentence was spontaneously thrown from the woman's mouth.

Baruna instantly widened her eyes when she heard the woman still wearing the mask on her face say her name.

"You know my name?" ask Baruna wonder.

"I-i-i ..." The woman patted her forehead while stopping her speech and suddenly looked nervous, like she was feeling like she was speaking wrong.

"You were at that club, right?" The woman asked back, trying to divert Baruna's questions.

Baruna scrunched her forehead, the voice of the masked woman was like a stranger in her ears. He silently watched the face behind the mask that the woman was still wearing. From behind the dim street lighting, Baruna felt she had met him.

"You who? Are you Floretta?" terka Baruna, feeling very curious. After a while looking at the face that was deliberately not shown by the woman in front of him, Baruna was more convinced by her guess.

The masked woman lowered her face. Without wanting to hide anything more from Baruna, the woman then slowly removed her mask.

"Yes, you're not wrong, Baruna. I'm Flo" said the woman softly while showing her face to Baruna.
