Asher came and held her in his arms, she was so light despite being a soldier. He was on the way to her room when his steps slowed down. His instincts came alert, he let whoever was following believe that he didn't notice anyone following them. He by himself chose the darkest way to reach her place. He already activated his sos device as precaution to let his team know about his location.
Two men stopped his way from front and two were at his back. His first thoughts were that they are here for him, but there next statement refuted his thoughts. " leave the girl and you can go back infact you will be earn benefits from higher up, you may find your future assessment a lot easier". Asher asked in panicked voice " I can leave this girl but you can't kill her here let me go first or people will point there fingers at me". Leader of the group nodded " it's good you are understanding, go we will not kill her here, noone will doubt you".
Asher saw her became alert, he patted her shoulder in specific pattern, for anyone else it would be normal patting but he was telling her " trust me" in morse code. She continued with her act while he passed her to one of the goon. As Asher was about to go he stopped and said " how will I contact you again, you could be lying for all I know".
Leader of the group laughed " it's good your brain is sharp, you will go long way". He pulled out a card it was normal black card that was completely blank except for a long orange line. Leader said while leaving " this is our contact source, someone will come for you just show him the card". Asher nodded and turned to leave.
When he was just about to go back, his steps slowed down casually and he turned back and said " I can't let you take her". He pressed the button on his ear and said all troops ready, with that many laser pointed at the goons head. Asher said casually " your act is against the rule of Knight family and as the leader of Knights troop I give you the verdict of death". Many shots rang out only the leader remained living while soldiers of knight family caught him.Lily jumped out of the man's arm, Still drops of blood fell on her face. She turned back and punched his face " this is for letting another man carry me" then she hugged him
" happy to meet you again Zack".
