Chapter 23 - Twenty Three

Moses opened the car door as he jumped out of it. The Lexus brand car rolled into a nearby fuel filling station. Everyone of course knows the expectant reaction. Nothing else but fire based explosion that blazed through the whole environment. And it was then Moses knew the problem he got himself into. All the assassins were running towards the filling station though the explosion. He was lucky that he wasn't quite recognized. Running towards one assassin, he slit him into two as he snatched the bike from him. He entered the bike and gave Elba a hot chase.

"Moses" Winnie cried as Elba twisted her wrists. This made him much more angry as he increased the speed of the bike. Assassins that came his way was dead instantly or seriously injured as he moved his swords in all directions. Soon, he was on par with Elba as the duo fought even while driving at a very high speed. Moses was seriously injured with Elba's sword but he was determined to kill him, no matter what comes his way. And soon, it began to manifest as he cut of Elba's hand. He grabbed him wife out of the bike and carried her on his laps and continued to drive the bike. But not for long as troops of assassins had their swords all waiting for him. He got down from the bike as to turn backwards and run. But yet, the same condition. They were ambushed. Before he could know what was happening, four arrow were already in his chest. Blood spilled out of his mouth.

"Moses!!!" she shouted as she held her husband tightly. More arrows descended on his back as more and more assassins came into view. They grabbed Winnie and instead of stabbing her or killing her direct, they began to beat her.

"Leave me alone. Get out!!!" she screamed as she tried to fight them but they were way too much for her.

"Leave my wife alone!!" Moses shouted. It sounded like a whisper though. He began to crawl towards her though his spinal cord was damaged. That was the power of love. The bond greater than any force in the world. He managed to pull out one arrow out of his chest and began to stab their legs.

"I said leave her alone!!" he shouted , this time much more audible. They all left her and began to beat him. Stones of different sizes landed on his head as blood began to drool out. Winnie couldn't take it anymore as she watched people beat her husband to death. The part she couldn't bear was when Moses looked at her his face, blood filled.

"Please please!! Moses!!" she cried finally finding her voice. She ran towards him and hugged him. And for the first time in so many months, they kissed each other. During the kiss, an arrow stuck through her chest. He eyes opened in horror as he watched his wife go through pain. He couldn't get up as he was already paralyzed. All he could do was to stroke her head. Unexpectedly, Winnie stood up and came closer to him as to hug him. Another arrow entered her chest. Her time on earth was nearing its end. So did her husband.

"I love you so much no matter what" she struggled to say as blood spilled out with every word she said.

"I love you too" he replied weeping. They looked at each other again. The love was there. They were ready to die for each other.

"Wha..t of....o...o..ur s..on .....Ni..ni..ck?" she asked struggling to speak.

"Safe with the Moores" he replied. He too was losing his voice. They both were bathed with blood.

"Promise me you'll ..." a bullet entered her head thus interrupting the message. She fell down lifeless. Moses turned up to look at her killer. It was a middle aged man in glasses. He shot Moses a bullet in his neck and he too fell down and closed his eyes. And closed his eyes in death.
