Chapter 22 - Twenty Two

Everyone gazed at the building as they all drove out of the area as quick as possible. The building erupted in explosion as the structure because weak and collapsed.

"Thank you for saving my life" Detective Rod said to Wane who stared at him.

"You're welcome" Wane replied. The duo looked at each other and shook their hands together.

β˜…

"The bombs had exploded sir" one of the assassins said to Elba. He laughed hard upon hearing this. Soon Moses was brought to him as he was chained.

"Those chipmunks, who won't mind their business"

"Which chipmunks?" Moses asked.

"Your men. Detective Rod and co, they're all dead" Elba explained. At this, Moses gasped in shock. After everything, Detective Rod still died. It was his fault that they died. He took a deep breath in sorrow as tears rolled down his cheeks.

"Why are you too emotional" he asked holding Moses's face. His anger returned again. Wait a moment. Who was this bastard holding him. Someone he could kill in merely minutes. He felt like breaking the handcuffs but he realized the reason he came here. To see his wife. An assassin came in with a notepad.

"Now time for the signature" Elba stated.

"I must see my wife first" he replied looking fierce. Elba got angry and drew out his katana and placed it on Moses's neck.

"Sign your signature or I'll slit your throat" . Moses looked at the cold piece of metal and then to Elba.

"You won't have to kill me if you need my signature" he said showing no sign of fear. And it was true.

"Before I sign anything, you must take me to the cell where she is and I must see her" he said again. Elba kept his sword in its sheath and faced his men.

"Take him to the cell" . The assassins bundled him and took him to his wife's cell.

"Moses!!" Winnie gasped in surprise upon seeing her husband. He was dressed in an assassin's clothing however. The iron bars were opened as he rushed in to hug his wife. Seeing her healed patches of his heart that were torn apart. Hugging her made him complete and whole.

"I miss you so much" he cried as he hugged her tighter.

"Me too" she replied. Moses began to scan her body for any injury. There was none.

"Are you sure you're okay" he asked.

"Yeah I'm fine" she replied holding his hands as she looked at him. In that look, there was one thing that was sure. Perfect love.

"I've acted to your terms and conditions, now its time you act to mine. This paper please." The document was placed on the ground and alongside it was a bic pen. He picked the paperwork and opened the pen as to sign the signature.

"Moses what is that" she asked as she looked at it. Her expression changed dramatically as she studied it's content.

"Moses, don't!!" she screamed pointing at the paper.

"Why, this is the only way I can set you free" he explained.

"Set me free?, then what about the hospital I spent years of labour trying to build. All that investments is a waste if you sign this."

"Trust me, it's just cocaine"

"Its just what?! Do you know the lives that would be lost if you sign this? Billions would die daily if you do this. Please don't!!"

As if it wasn't enough, she tried to grab the paper as to tear it but Moses had already threw as out of the cell.

"Look sweetie, trust me it's all handled. I have backup" he explained trying to calm her down. Her anger had been ignited as she wanted to rush to Elba and snatch the paper from him.

"Look can you listen to me for once!" he shouted trying to get her attention.

"Listen to what? that is the destruction of Bay City he's holding right there. "

"That wasn't my signature" he whispered in her ears. At this she paused and looked at him in surprise.

"Which means..."

"I wonder why you're so unfaithful Moses" Elba said

"How am I unfaithful?" he asked.

"I met your terms and conditions, now you don't want to meet mine. Kill em!!" he shouted and walked out of the room. Two assassins came into the cell fully armed as to execute the order that was given.

"Winnie behind me" Moses said as he outstretched his arms to protect his lovely wife. The assassins rushed towards him as Moses was smart enough to use some kung-fu techniques he knew by heart. He disarmed one of his katana and stabbed him on the chest. To the other, he slit his head off. Though it wasn't easy .

"You killed" Winnie gasped.

"Look sweetie, these kind of people deserve no mercy and to survive this, we must kill" he explained. Quickly, he grabbed her hands and ran out of the cell. As expected, the assassins gave them a hot chase. She got tired of running but he carried her in his arms and continued to run. As if fate was on their side, they found a car parked nearby. The duo entered the car and drove out of the place as quickly as they could.

β˜…

The breaking news popped on the television. Assassin raid in Bay City. It showed a Lexus brand car being chased by over hundreds of assassins. The assassins held their long katanas out and ran uniformly with an ever increasing speed. The police tried to stop them but it resulted in blood shed as each move of their swords took dozens of lives. And not to forget, their clothes were made of special bulletproof. Some of the assassins had their motorbikes as they chased the car.

"Hello I need help right here" Moses shouted as he dialled 112. Who he wasn't expecting answered the call. It was Detective Rod. After some minutes of discussion, orders were taken. The defense system of the city which were the military were contacted. And this came towards to rescue the jeep. Helicopters were seen hovering around the area. And that was the moment that the assassins proved their true skills. Archer assassins came in with their motorbikes as some aimed at the car while some aimed at the helicopters. Others who weren't archers simply threw their swords at the helicopters. The helicopters in turn opened fire and this led to massive explosions. Another group of assassins came. These carried submachine guns and bombs. The lexus car was losing control due to the level of damage impact. Moses still struggled to keep the car going. But there was one sweet surprise. Winnie was not in the car anymore. An assassin had bundled her in his motorbike. And that assassin, was no one else but Elba Jerry Nah😢😱
