Clara stood transfixed with her gaze at the men who stood in front of her pointing their gun to her, she squinted her eyes on each of them and found out they were not well trained gunmen, the way they held their guns and hiw they stood showed that they were learners, she smiles inwardly at this discovery,
“put down your gun and raise up your hands” one of the men ordered in a loud voice,
Clara smiled again, this was what she had expected from weaklings like them,
she slowly bent down and dropped her gun, one of the men walked closer to her and made to search her body when Clara swiftly grabbed him by the neck and covered her body with him, the other men started shooting rapidly but all their bullet went on the man clara had used for shield,
She brought out a pistol from her side pocket and shot at the men in a way that took them unaware, they all fell down breathlessly,
just then, David and the other ran out of their hiding place with their gaze on Clara,
“what happened?” they asked in unison while Clara just kept quiet and took her gun on the ground then started heading to the building while the others ran after her,
After running for sometime, clara stopped abruptly while the others also halted staring at her with a questioning look, Clara turned her face up and shot a bullet upward making someone scre-m before falling down from the tree,
“Jesus!! clara how did you saw him?” they all chorused in amazement,
“sensitivity” clara mumbled and started heading to the building,
Now, it was clear that they were close to the building as they could now vividly hear the sound of bullets, Richærd and Joy on hearing this became terrified, this was their first time of hearing different sound of bullets, they could sight bullets spraying through the air,
Clara and David were in the front and was a little bit far from Richærd and Joy whose had just stood at a s₱0t without moving, their heart was really pound loudly and fast, it was now that they got what Clara was telling them, this place is really a dead zone, they were already losing hope and was now having double mind on whether to continue their journey of rescuing their loved ones,
Much anxiety filled their heart making them feel very weak,
would they survive this? was the question that kept resounding on their mind,
“what are you both still doing there?” Clara yelled as she found the both of them stiffed in one position,
Clara walked back to them as she got no reply,
“what Is it?” she asked them as she got nearer
“are we going in there?” Richærd asked exuding great fear,
“You see, to be sincere, this is one thing I hated with passion, I hate weakling, I hate men who gets frightened by what they are about to face, this is a decision you took and you are bound to do it, it is for you guys good and not mine, so you both has to hasten up or else we would lose both Sandra and Cole..let me tell you,i just got an information from Max now,
Sandra and Cole would die in 24 hours by one kind of chemical injected in their body. so mind you, if we waste time in rescuing them, just know that we would lose the both” Clara said with grim making Richærd and Joy w¡den their eyes in shock,
a sudden strength and zeal erupt their wh0le body, the anxiety which was in them disappeared replacing it with courage,
“let’s go now” Richærd said and started walking forward in haste,
At last, they got to the building, there was a tall fence which was used in guarding the building,
“we have finally reached our destination, crossing over this fence is something that would bring two things to us, death or life..no one knows who would survive this, but that doesn’t matters, what matters is being victorious, someone must die for the other to live so don’t be afraid of death because it is something that must come.. now you all should wear this” Clara ordered giving them a bullet proof
“this bullet proof is different, if a bullet is shot to you, something like blood would spur out making your attacker thinks you are dead, then at that moment you will take that advantage and bring him or her down” Clara explained,
Richærd and Joy were done wearing theirs but David was still holding his own in his hand
“what is it?” Clara asked him with an arched brow,
“you are not wearing your own bullet proof” he said
“and how does that become your business?” Clara scowled
“well, we all are into this, I don’t see why we would wear a bullet proof without you wearing your own, do you want to die?” David asked exuding passion
“I have only four remaining so I don’t have any to wear so why being whinny” Clara sneered
“Then I’m not wearing mine, I can’t wear this and successfully come out alive and well with you being shot down” David said and dropped the bullet proof on the ground,
“David, what is wrong with you? why acting as if I’m your girlfriend or fiancee, why being this caring to me?” Clara asked with grimace
“I love you and that is the reason..even if you don’t like me, i love you and can’t afford to lose you, understand that” David replied with his tone filled with care, love and affection
“David, you are wasting our time here, what is even wrong with you?” Clara said with a forced frown
“you don’t know? okay I will tell you, take this in your head, I can’t allow you to be killed because I love you..” David said with tears,
“I love you too” clara said in a cracked voice and k-ssed him passionately..
“David you have to wear this okay? I don’t want you dead please” Clara said in tears staring deeply into David’s eyes
“promise me that you will be safe and alive for me, please” David said with tears dropping off his eyes
“I promise” Clara muttered while they hugged their selves tightly as if their lives depend on it..
David took the proof and wore slowly,
“Now David, lead them into the building, I will join hand in bringing down those gunmen, I would have come with you guys but I got some information that my boss is in there with Chief Gabriel and Dr Mike, so I can’t come in, he may find me.. please tread carefully and alert, use your silencer, don’t make anyone find out you are in there, disguise yourselves as a security…” clara said to them in a bossy tone while they all nodded,
……………………………………………………
Chief Gabriel, Dr Mike, Angela and Rex Clara’s boss sat on the couch in a room at the third floor, Rex had In his hand a cocaine which he kept sniffing, his eyes were bloodshot, his body was rigid and muscular like a wrestler, with just a mere view one would see that he was someone specifically trained..
“Are you sure that those attackers wouldn’t get in here?” Chief Gabriel asked with anxiety
“Hey man, don’t just ask me that annoying question, I have told you that the situation is under control, very soon every thing would die down, our men are really bringing down those foolish attackers” Rex said sniffing a larger quantity of cocaine into his nostrils
“How are you sure that we are winning?” Chief Gabriel asked still feeling insecure
“now listen, the real men attacking us are 20 in number, others are those weak vessel who called themselves police men, the police men who were close to 300 when attacking us are now just 20, the real men who I’m sure were trained are now 11, making them 31, our men have only lost 50 people so you see, we are winning, stop disturbing your self” Rex boasted
“but don’t you know who those trained men are?” Chief Gabriel asked again
“hmm, well I don’t, they are all wearing mask but I’m gonna check later after they had all been killed” Rex replied sniffing the last content..
Just then, the ear piece connected to a device made a beeping sound, he answered it by clicking a button in the device
“yes what is the problem?” he said into a mouthpiece,
“we are going down” a voice sounded from the speaker,
“what do you mean?” Rex asked with straight gaze
“Someone has joined the attackers, she is much swifter and mightier than our men, her gun has much capacity, just a few minutes she had came in we have lost 100 of our men”
“what?!!” Rex scre-med in shock flinging off the cocaine he had just bought out to sniff,
what he just heard left him speechless
a lady bringing down 100 men in a few minute, there was only one person he knew could do such a thing and that is Clara his highest student and successor,
she was the only person that could do such a thing because at recent training he had gave them, she was always the best at gun fight and had been ranked the best in that, she was as swift as a cat and could possibly bring down many people at a little time,
Rex quickly stood up and head out
“where are you going to?” Chief Gabriel asked
“To the system room, I have to find who that lady is” Rex said and walked out
Rex entered the system which was dark with only the light from the monitor serving as the only illumination in the room, Rex took a seat facing a system, he clicked some keys in the keyboard and just then, the video of the lady appeared on the screen, he kept watching her as she shoot down many men in a swift and clever way, her gun was exceptional and was the type specially made in Russia by a well knowed assassin clan, it has a great velocity which would bring down anyone before that person could even notice,
Rex squinted his eyes on the lady for some time. the lady has many things in common with Clara, her body stature, her moves, her swiftness and agility, almost everything, but one thing was different, her face, the face of the lady was totally different,
Rex thought of the lady being clara on disguise but one thing he couldn’t explain was why Clara was fighting against Chief Gabriel, why would she be attacking Chief Gabriel without even informing him,
He clenched his fist in anger as he thought of Clara trying to overthrow him, she had just assembled some of his men and go into a battle without making him know if it,
“Hey lady just pray you aren’t clara, because if I finds out that you are, i promise you, you won’t leave here alive” Rex bellowed to the system and stood up heading out of the room,
………………………………
David, Richærd and Joy had successfully found their way up to the 3rd floor and was heading to the room where Sandra and Cole are, they were claded in a security uniform although, after bringing down the men at the entrance of the secret passway that had quickly wore their uniform, Richærd and Joy’s happiness knew no bound as they walked to the door of the room, they could hear the voice of Sandra and Cole from in,side and this alone made their heart leap in joy,
Richærd pushed the door and it gave way immediately,
Sandra and Cole was sitting on the Cole floor facing each other, they were unaware of what was going on outside because the room was sound proofed, they were both consoling each other with tears in their eyes as they kept remembering the word Chief Gabriel had said, they would die in 24 hours..
In the middle of their discussion, the door made a cracking sound and went ajar, Sandra and Cole had quickly bowed their head downward in fear. they had thought it was those men who tortures them,
“Sandra”
“Cole”
they heard two different voices call their name, the voice really sounded like that of Richærd to Sandra’s hearing but she couldn’t believe it was him, how could it be him, it just can never be Richærd” she thought to Her self still facing downward,
Cole on the other hand quickly raised his head, what he saw left him shaken,
“Joy!!!!!!!!!!” he scre-med in the top of his voice with his eyes w¡dened in astonishment,
Sandra on hearing his scre-m raised up her head and immediately cringed on seeing Richærd and Joy standing in front of her,
Her mouth went agape as a sudden link grew in her throat,
“Sandraaaaa, Sandra” Richærd called and squat down in front of her, he drew her jaw closer and k-ssed her deeply,
“Richærd is this really you?” Sandra asked still shocked
“yeah it’s me, I’m here to save you” Richærd said in tears and k-ssed her again,
Joy couldn’t control her emotions as she saw the bruises and scars on Cole’s body, she went forward to him and held him tightly
“what happened? what happened” Joy asked In a teary tone,
“Joy, how did you get to know I’m here, how did you can’t here” Cole said in a calm tone wrapping his hand around her neck,
“you are okay right? please just tell me that you are strong okay?” Joy said tilting her head in passion,
“I’m strong now but in the next 24 hours I’ll be a dead man” Cole said and hugged Joy tightly
“we are here to save you both, you will not die” joy said In an emotional state
“Hey Richærd let’s release them quickly before we are being….” his voice was cut short as five huge body men walked into the room with Chief Gabriel, Dr Mike and Angela..
“wow wow wow, who do we have here” Chief Gabriel said with a lopsided smile,
Richærd, David, Joy, Sandra, cole was totally frightened,
“I’m loving the way things are going for us.. now we would kill all of them in a day and the same time” Dr Mike said in glee
“Hey..kill all of them In slow and painful way now” Chief Gabriel ordered and took a seat at the corner of the room, Mike and Angela also took their seat in readiness to watch the scene,
David quickly pressed the button in the watch which Clara had gave him so as to alert her when they are in trouble which they can’t solve..
……………………
Clara was shooting down the men in haste when her watch beeped, she sighed deeply,
“they are in trouble” she breathed before prowling her way to the building, she successfully got into the building and made to climb the stairs when someone called her name,
she turned sharply and got the shock of her life,
standing in front of her was her boss with a stern face and a clenched fist..
