The third point of view
Gunshots reverberated in Adam's manor like a beating drum during a carnival with the pungent Nitroglycerin smell lingering in the air.
No one needed to be told what was going on with the resonating bangs and the huge cloud of gunpowder.
No one had seen that coming. All the guards knew was that Adam had ordered an emergency lockdown; no one was to leave nor come in.
Though the guards that had been slain days ago were inconspicuous, the news had spread amongst fellow members and caused tension amongst the security department.
Yes, they were guards, but before that, they were humans too and some of them had families or people that loved and looked up to them for support.
So it wasn't surprising fear grew in their heart when the sudden lockdown was initiated. Guards were stationed at various strategic points, patrolling the area and keeping an eye out for the target - Niklaus.
