The police were gaining the upper hand due to the nature of their technological weapons such as smoke bombs, guns of all kinds and variations, and bullet proof clothing which made the assassin's aim of hurting them with the sword almost impossible, but to mention a few . In no time soon, the assassins were all on the ground, helpless. It was just Moses and Elba that were remaining.
Moses gave Elba a tight headlock which made escape almost impossible.
"Tell me where she is" Moses said almost weeping. Elba meanwhile was sweating profusely as he was gasping for air. He tapped Moses repeatedly on the shoulder to release him but Moses was stubborn.
"Tell me where she is and I'll release you!" . Elba was gasping for air repeatedly. When it was obvious that he would soon die, Moses released him and he slumped on the floor. He walked towards Detective Rod who gave him an inquiring look. From his face, the question was obvious. How did you escape that hospital? But now wasn't the time for questions and he knew it. Elba crawled on the ground as he struggled to get up.
"I'm sorry Moses, but your wife is long gone" .
"What do you mean by long gone" Detective Rod asked
"She's dead Moses" Elba replied. Everyone stood in suspense waiting for Moses's reaction. As usual, they expected him to run mad. Moses , feeling too tired walked towards Elba and knelt down. Everyone held their guard looking at the two. Moses stared directly into Elba's eye as tears rolled his cheeks.
"No, I don't believe you" he said his voice shaky.
"She's alive, wherever you kept her and you must tell me where she is" he said. Moses got up and faced the police who were staring him. At this, he wondered where his anger was when he needed it the most. Surprisingly, he began to cry. This time like a baby. He cried out all the pain and anger he had been bearing silently in his heart. Just then Detective Rod's phone began to beep. Everyone's phone began to beep. It was about Winnie Maurice. It was a live footage as the police battled with bands of assassins. The assassins managed to bundle her in the car as they zoomed off and police gave them a hot chase. Elba sprang up as he saw the news.
"I wonder the faith you have in my abilities Moses, but I have to help my men" Instantly, Moses turned back to face Elba. He held a neatly wrapped ball .
"Hope you'll meet her alive" Elba said as he let the ball free. The ball upon reaching the ground erupted in explosion. Moses ran towards the nearest window and jumped out.
"Wait Moses " Detective Rod shouted but it was too late as Moses was seen no more.
★★★. ★★★. ★★★
Moses gave Elba a tough race. Elba wasn't that much of a runner as Moses was soon closing in on him. Soon he reached his motorbike. Before he could start it, Moses jumped and pushed him out of the bike. The duo began to roll on the ground.
"Where is she?!!" he asked as he held his neck tightly.
"Go to hell!" he replied, blood drooling out of his mouth. Moses descended rain of punches right on his face as blood popped out with every punch.
"Where is my wife?!!" he shouted. Elba looked at him and gave out an evil laughter. Moses raised his head and banged his head on the ground dozens of times.
"Where is my wife?!!"
No response. He punched him hard on the stomach thus making more blood to pop out of his mouth. Elba has had enough of this beating. The police siren could be heard from all angles. He got up and pushed Moses out of his way. Quickly, he threw a smoke bomb and teleported out of sight.
"Stand down!!" the police shouted
"Too late" Moses replied.
"Follow me " Detective Rod said as he led Moses out of the area.
