“You’ve got to get out of here man. There’s too many of them, take Vivian with you and get out, I’ll hold them off from here” Joel shouted on top of his voice from his position. He squatted behind some furniture to prevent himself from getting hit as Derrick appeared from the other end to help him.
 
Dead bodies were everyone, the building wasn’t a big one neither the compound but the wh0le place was filled with gunmen. Abu hadn’t taken it lightly when Joel almost finished up the wh0le men.
 
He fought and tried as much as he could to get Joel down but Joel was always a step ahead, he moves swiftly and didn’t shoot radically, he takes cover almost all the time and he was likely to be at a best position.
 
They couldn’t have penetrated the hallway successfully if not for the grenade that was thrown by Abu, though Joel sustained some injuries when he tried to move from his position but he moved out without getting killed by the explosion.
 
“There should be another way out of the building, go man, I’ll hold them off. I could see more of them coming in through the gate. Move Derrick, Go.. Go..” Joel shouted at Derrick as they both began to shoot.
 
He picked up a gun of one of the dead men and threw his empty pistol away. He c*cked the gun and swiped sideways quickly, he fired almost immediately and killed another man coming from his opposite direction. He squatted immediately and took cover as more gunshots were now directed on him.
 
___
“Goddamn it” Abu cursed all of a sudden as the man shooting beside him got shot. He quickly took cover as Joel fired at him, two more men dropped down immediately he squatted and he was now left alone in his position.
 
He began to breathe profusely and dropped his gun. He detached two grenade hang beside his wrist and threw it, he picked the gun instantly and stand up.
 
___
“Shi..t” Joel cursed immediately he sighted the flying grenade, he had no other option than to move from his position, he had instantly taken three quick steps and was about to run away when a bullet penetrated his shoulder. The grenade went off almost immediately he tried to swipe away not without getting hit badly.
 
The two explosives explode and even Derrick himself had to step back and take cover instantly.
 
“Go man. I’ll hold them off” Joel shouted on top of his voice as he fell face flat on the floor, feeling a lot of pains all over his body instantly. He let out a yell and crawled forward as Abu shoot at him sporadically without a hit.
 
“Shi..t !! Get over here Joel, I’ll hold him off” Derrick shouted and swiped out from his position, he fired at Abu who was still shooting sporadically and hold back again. He swiped out again and fired, one of the three bullet he fired pierced Abu in the belly and he fired more when Abu felled.
 
He sighted about four men fast approaching their position instantly and they were almost at the big door of the entrance. He quickly rushed to Joel and tried to help him up, he held him by the wa-ist but Joel shug him off.
 
“Get out of here man, go.. Go..”Joel shouted on Derrick repeatedly as he managed to conceal the extreme pains he felt to the bone.
 
He w¡dened his eyes and tried to assimilate the pain as Derrick reluctantly tried to help him up.
 
 
He picked up the gun instantly with his left hand and shot the first man fast approaching the entrance, he fired two more shots as Derrick fired at the entrance too.
 
“Go Derrick, they are coming in here.. Go, go” Joel shouted again.

Valentine unlocked his phone immediately he took another look at the time, he swiped to his dial pad instantly and dialed the last contact on the device.
 
“What’s the status over there? All I could hear is too many gunshots. Too many gunshots” He flared impatiently at the receiver.
 
“Boss, We met some resistance in here”
 
“What resistance? What the fu..ck do you meant?” Valentine shouted on him.
 
“Hello.. Hello.. Hello” He phrased instantly when he heard no response and looked at the phone.
 
“Hey !! He shouted out loud but no response came through.

Steve made a glance at his vibrating phone and turned forward after looking at the screen of the device to confirm the caller.
 
He was on a very high speed with full concentration on the road, he took another look at the phone which was beginning to ring again and Inspector Kelvin was still calling. He ignored it the second time and increase his speed the more.
 
___
“We got to follow him” Inspector Kelvin phrased and turned to Mary immediately the call ended again without Steve answering it.
 
Mary stared at him at first as if she was contemplating the option but opt into the car immediately the inspector rushed towards the car they came with, she opened the passenger side and got into the vehicle quickly.
 
“What the hell is going on with him?” She asked rhetorically while trying to use her seat belt the same moment inspector Kelvin kicked the engine and speed off.

Vivian scre-med immediately the second man hit Derrick’s face and the third man that appeared behind them pointed a gun on her head immediately they got outside the building in a rush.
 
She froze totally in shock when Cyrus made a groin and quickly leaned against the wall.
 
Derrick returned a kick into the man’s chest and followed it with two quick punches into his face in retaliation. He grabbed his arm and twisted it, he held unto his neck and fired a bullet into his head.
 
The third man on seeing the last of them fall moved swiftly behind Vivian and pointed the gun into her skull, he held her neck tight to himself and he quickly turned to Derrick who was now pointing his gun at him.
 
“Drop the gun” The man snarled at Derrick and grabbed Vivian with him as she scre-med.
 
“I said drop the gun” he repeated. He was about to utter another word when a bullet pierced him from behind, another bullet pierced his left leg and Derrick shot him in the head.
 
“Help me up” Cyrus phrased weakly from behind, he was lying straight back on the floor and his wrist were tied, a pistol was in between his hands and a dead man beside him.
 
Derrick glanced back instantly and rushed towards him with Vivian, he held unto his hands and help him up almost immediately.
 
“Taking this off my wrist would help you know” Cyrus said as he was helped on his feet.
 
“Thanks” Vivian muttered and move close to him.
 
 
“We need to get out from here, there’s too many of them in and outside the building” Derrick phrased and made another glance backwards.
 
The gunshots round the wh0le place were sounding like a blast and heavier, he looked far at the entrance of the building balcony and made a sigh.
 
“What about him?” Cyrus asked Derrick, referring to Joel who was in,side the building.
 
“We need to move” Derrick said without answering the question.
 
He brought out a knife immediately and cut off the tight rope on Cyrus wrist, he nodded after him and walked forward.
 
“Follow me, there’s a hidden escape route” he added and began to walk forward while Vivian and Cyrus followed.

Steve increased his speed the more immediately his phone began to ring again. He ignored it at first and increased his speed the more immediately he sighted a car speeding up the same way behind him but there was a very good distance between them.
 
The phone began to ring again before he took up the device and looked at the screen. He picked the call instantly and put it on loud speaker.
 
“Steve, we are out of the building but I think we need your help in here, the wh0le compound is full of Ahlam Khalifa’s men” Derrick voice came through immediately.
 
“Oh goodness !! Steve muttered under his breath.”Vivian, what about Vivian?” He asked repeatedly.
 
“She’s here with me” Derrick answered from the other end.
