Chapter 16 - I Should Have known.

As Andrew was leaving my office his phone rung, he picked the call still moving towards the door, then he stopped, listening and his face changed. What are you saying? he asked

His voice was sharp and that got my attention as I lifted my head from the papers I was looking at...next thing we heard were loud gun shots from his phone.

I didn't know when I got to the door, I took the stairs two at a time running towards the entrance, at the same time I was making calls, calling for back up because I knew what happened immediately..

The ambulance and it's convoy has just been attacked, Andrew is still on the phone with the security guard that called him. But from their conversation it was obvious they were getting hit hard and it was getting hard to hold them off.

Bolt warned me, that he will do anything to get to her. I find myself praying we get there on time and nothing must happen to her.

I should have known, I should have known they will try this because as soon she enters my house they will not be able to get to her. My house was a fortress. For them to try anything, they must have inside information.

I should have known I said aloud. I don't like this, it's like they're one step ahead of us.

Sir, don"t blame yourself. There was no way you would have known Andrew said.

I have called the military I said to him, that's the only force that can deal with them now. Their weapons are always more sophisticated than the police.

We were about five minutes away from the point of the attack when I got a call from Major William, that they have secured the area. I breathed in relief not even knowing that I was unconsciously holding my breath.

As we got to the point where the convoy was attacked, it was absolute chaos! It was as if a war just happened there because there were bodies on the ground, three of the security SUVs cars burning.

Some of the security men were injured. As I ran to the ambulance I noticed it was upside down; the back door destroyed. One of the doctors sitting on the ground outside the ambulance injured and a female nurse unconscious in the ambulance, I hope the nurse is alive. Katie is lying face down ...I couldn't tell if she was alive or not.

I climbed into the ambulance to get to Katie, I have to know if she is still alive. From what I'm seeing, there was blood on her arms and the angle in which it was I immediately knew that it was broken.

As I tried to get further inside, Major William held me back. Mr Crown let my men do it, I still stood there as they were moving the body of the nurse to get to Katie.

We have called the hospital already and they are sending another ambulance he said He instructed his men to carry her out carefully, realising the reason they were all here was because of this woman. She must be important to Mr.Crown.

She has to be alive I kept saying to myself, she has to be. I didn't, couldn't take my eyes off her.

As they were trying to move her, the paramedics from the hospital came with a doctor in another ambulance and they immediately got Katie out, checked her pulse and told me she was alive but seriously injured.

I was so relieved.

As they were working on her, I looked around not believing the chaos, the number of dead bodies and the injured. He must really want her dead so badly for him to carry out this kind of attack, so openly and publicly.

Of course, some people passing by were caught in the attack too.

Specialised scene safety vehicles and fire trucks have arrived at the scene to take care of the Chaos and burning vehicles parked on the road. The lane was totally blocked and barricaded far ahead by traffic beacons, flares and collision warning signs to make it more obvious that there is a hazard ahead and motorists should simply change lanes. This is to prevent motorist from smashing into the existing scene and injuring patients and emergency workers.

Major William came to me, shaking his head at thr state of the damaged ambulance Katie was in. We got to her on time, they were just about to shot her after breaking open the ambulance door he reported. Your men are very brave, when we got here most of them were injured trying to hold then off but they still continued fighting.

It was the explosives they used that gave them an edge, Major William added.

Still looking around, I asked did all of them get away.

I don't think so because the ones that ran away in the other SUV, my men caught up with them after a shot out which killed four of them. We arrested the remaining three he explained.

As I stood there wondering how many men I lost, the doctor told me they were ready to move her, I didn't ask about her injuries yet I just want to get her to safety.

I entered the ambulance this time not taking any chances. That surprised Andrew and Major William.

Mr. Crown my men are with her, you don't have to follow the ambulance Major William

remarked.

I know, I answered smiling bitterly. I have a better idea of what my enemy can do now, he has shown his ace.

He should have killed her I thought, because What he doesn't know is he will never get the chance again I said to myself determined.

Never again...I told myself.
