79: Judgement Is Ticking
Dora's feeling of doing something brave suspended the guilt she had nursed for leaving the house.She had no regrets for taking the bullet for Achilles. At least she'd be remembered for something selfless if she didn't survive.She didn't know the warlord in person but coming for her rescue, it felt like she had known him for the longest.She was certain he was the same mysterious figure that saved Anthony’s life, even though her fiancè had been avoiding disclosing the full details despite her inquiry.A white Toyota brand car screeched on the roadside in front of Lifehope Unique Hospital. A young man in haste alighted and sprinted towards Achilles' position.Brig. Stones marched the brake to a temporary stop while Brig. Scott alighted from behind.Brig. Stones looked up and mouthed, “Wow. Anthony is here.”Achilles didn't look surprised which only meant one thing:Before the warlord went in to eliminate most of the assassins. He reached out to Anthony and permitted him to head toward
78: Thank You Ms. Beauty
Achilles kept applying pressure on Dora while carrying her on foot, heading towards her car, while Brig. Stones zoomed off within seconds.Brig. Scott revved the other car's engine and joined in the driving parade.Achilles prayed in his heart for Dora to stay alive beyond the night. She meant the world to Rachael as both only had each other as family.Achilles inquired in a hasty breath, “From the roadmap. Which hospital is the closest?”Brig. Stones on the wheel responded without delay, “I don't need a roadmap. I'm familiar with this residence. Lifehope Unique Hospitals is about a five-minute drive.”Achilles sighed and kept staring at Dora's helpless state, and wondered what would have happened if he hadn't gone with the two Brigadiers.With the help of constant pressure on her. The warlord kept Dora’s eyes barely open while they hoped for a miracle.He could feel her pulse throbbing and felt pity for her. Dora kept fighting to hold on with the warlord's voice echoing into her sens
77: Stay With Me
Achilles and the two Brigadiers were unfazed by his tantrums. If he dared expose his position, he'd be eliminated without a second thought.Achilles’s strange feeling about Dora's rescue operation was manifesting, and the unexpected assassin's enforcement was proof of that.A while ago before David was assassinated. The gang leader had called for Plan B activation and what he requested had arrived.The gang leader's phone was tracked by enforcement assassins who were on standby just in case there was a shortage of men.This idea was initiated by the cartel’s chief enforcer, Victor Escobar who didn't want to take further chances.The gang leader's phone started buzzing and it was from the last person he'd want to speak with until the mission was accomplished.He eventually picked while cursing himself in silence. He dared not avoid the enforcer's call as long as he was still alive.Victor Escobar's voice came in rough, “You called for backup? You had secured the girl right?”The gang l
76: Avenging Little Cousin
More rounds were fired for over ten seconds to send a threatening message to whomever had tailed them to the supposed abduction spot.The three remaining assassins did well in taking good covers and so far weren't exposed for the warlord and brigadiers to take out.The gang leader had signaled his fellow assassins to release shots to trigger their unknown enemies out of their hidden spots, but so far it hadn't worked as envisaged.Achilles clenched his fingers and held them still, which sent a clear message to the two Brigadiers.The assassins had discharged a series of firearms through impulsion and mere instincts, but all were blind spots. They assumed one of those shots would hit their unknown intruders but that didn't happen.Achilles had turned off the vehicle headlight to enhance a silhouette mood, but that wasn't the case for the assassins, as both the van and Dora's car’s headlights were on.The gang leader mumbled under his breath, “They’re professionals. They wouldn't shoot
75: Good Luck Brigadiers
Escobar chipped in, expecting a call from the assassins, “Good. You got him on your palm girl.”Dante tried not to wear his jealousy on his face for obvious reasons. He felt he was missing something about Lucia dumping him for Johnson Brentford, Mr. Montoya.He felt there was more behind Lucia’s decision that she hadn't told him about. The rejection happened rather quickly, and he was yet to shake it off.Escobar chimed in once again, “The law enforcement hasn't got further concrete evidence to tie your neck around the rope. They knew it'd be a long battle to have you arrested if they failed to garner enough incriminating proof against you.”“Thankfully, the stupid disloyal assassin who mentioned your involvement is dead and wouldn't testify against you in court if there were trials.”Lucia sighed in relief as Escobar's words felt therapeutic. Those were the same words her husband whispered to her ear while vowing his undying support.Did Achilles make the wrong decision in eliminatin
74: Only If She Knew
After Victor Escobar’s call conversation with one of the assassins which was on a loudspeaker.Lucia Montoya waved a hand across to spill a word. The executive heads of the cartel threw her a complicated stare.Their blood boiled hot with utter displeasure at how everything they had plotted after the failed Prime Minister's assassination scheme had gone south.Since the phone call, the room had been flushed with awkward silence with their faces contorted with deep concern.It was looking like the universe had arisen to distort anything they did. They pondered what's so hard in apprehending a young lady in over ten minutes of car chase.Lucia Montoya still parted her lips for words, “If it were the butchered assassins on this job, Dora would have been caught already.”On reflection, they shot a weird gaze at her once more. Victor Escobar tried keeping his composure from scolding the hell out of her.Those were the least words they expected, and coming from her, screamed all shades of w
