Chapter-37: Four bullets.
James was driving his car very fast on the road and trying to make a distance from those people who were behind them. He can handle all of them alone but that time he was not alone, Ember was along with him. He had to take care of her in any condition. He was pressing the paddle and increasing the speed but Chris was also increasing his speed and still following him. They realized that James found out about their presence and that's why he was running away from them.
He quickly makes a call to GK and asks him where they are? Because Ember was looking scared. It was the first time James driving his car so fast and she asked him to slow down.
"Where the hell are you all?"
Suddenly, they start firing on James car. They break the glass and continuously fire on them.
"Ember down."
She hid herself in front of the seat and James took out his gun and turned his car in the middle of the road.
He was driving his car in reverse mode; he was looking towards them and he also started firing on them. He continuously fired on them and turned his car again and kept running away from them. At high speed, James turns his car and they also turn their cars. Chris presses the pedal and drives his car on his side. … Suddenly, he collided with his car and tried to stop him. He was trying his best to stop and now, James also collided his car with him and made him side.
Ember was looking scared and she started crying. James saw her scared face and tried to calm her down. He told her that there is no need to be scared of them, he is there. While driving, he was talking to her and when he looked ahead, he saw a kid on the road.
"Shit!!"
He pressed the brake and turned his car but he collided with an electric pole and got stuck over there. [Trying to start engine]
"AWW!!"
He stepped out and locked the door of the car and when they came there, he started shooting at them. They also stopped there and hid behind their cars. People who were near that place all ran away and on the street cameras, everything was getting recorded. James was shooting on the and Chris saw that James was standing in front of glass. He aimed at him and a bullet hit him on his right side of the stomach.
"Ahh!!"
Suddenly, James bent on his knees and Chris smiled and his boys kept firing on him.
Suddenly, all the glass of the car started breaking and only the sound of gunfire was there. Ember screamed loudly and said his name. When James heard his name, he took out his other gun and fired on them. They were in dozens and James was alone there. He was trying his best to hold them there until his team came but he was also feeling pain because he was struck by the bullet.
Suddenly, a bullet struck him on his left shoulder and he fell down on the road. Ember quickly came out from the car and checked him.
"Ember!! go inside."
James- [Groaning]
[Peeping]
James saw that they all were coming close to his car. Very soon he realized that they had to run away from there… so, he grabs Ember and shoots them with his right arm and tries to run away but Chris fires on his back and James falls down on the road. Ember cried there and asked him to get up but he couldn't because due to pain and wounds in his body, he wasn't able to stand. Chris was walking towards him and James grabbed his gun in his hand and tried to shoot at him. His hand was shaking and Chris kicked him in his hand.
"James… it's over."
He was looking at all of them and they all were wearing black masks except Chris. He had a long cut mark under his left eye and grabbed Ember's hand. James also grabs her another hand and pulls her on his side but Chris aims at him again and shoots him on his chest. It was the fourth time he struck him and he left her hand and James hand fell down on the road and closed his eyes. Ember was crying and they took her from there. James was alone there… laying on the road and blood was coming out from his body.
Birds were flying in the sky and there was no one in that place. After some time, GK reached there with all his team and stopped their car in front of him. They all step out and get shocked when they see James in that condition.
"James!!"
He was trying to talk to him but he was not moving. Summer was crying and checked his hand.
"Sir… heartbeat is decreasing."
They all took him from there and went to the hospital. Ben was already there and he was in his room but he heard a sound and he had heard that.
He came out of his room and saw his team members. He went there to know why it happened and when they said that James was attacked by someone and now doctors were checking him. He was also shocked when he heard that and after sometime June came there with three other females. They all quickly stand in front of the door and try to look inside the room. … GK was watching three of them and he told them to sit. In his words, there was pain and his face were full of sadness and eyes were filled with water.
All officers were standing around and Summer was cleaning his tears but her tears kept coming out from her eyes. Meanwhile, Albert and Amanda both came there and asked about his condition and GK told them the doctors were checking him. … Albert had a smile and told himself that first he lost his friend and now they have to lose James. Officers were standing there and roaming around there only.
[Silence]
They all were waiting for all the doctors to come out so that they could ask them about his condition. Staff members were coming out and going in but they wanted doctors only.
At night.
Finally, doctors came out and they all were chatting with each other and it seems they were happy and they all stood in front of them and removed their mask from their face and gloves from their hands. … All officers were asking questions to them and they were asking only one question and that question was about James.
"Doctor… who is he?"
"Don't worry… he is out of danger and you all can meet him after two days. Right now, he needs rest."
[Breath of relief]
That sound gave them a smile on their faces and started laughing but they all were still crying and they went inside to see him. They all were standing in front of James and James was laying on his bed.
[Sound of monitor]
There was a nurse who was there and she requested all of them to go out because the patient needed rest.
… "Ok sister."
They all were thinking about those people who attacked him.
Ronnie was smoking and he looked out from his window. He saw his cars were coming there and Chris came out and he was holding a small one in his hand, she was none other than Ember. She was screaming and crying. All the children who were there for work, saw her from their place. Ronnie made a call to Harry and told him that he had the girl.
… "Ronnie… remember, he will come for her, so make an arrangement for that also."
He had a smile on his face and cut the call.
[Door open]
Chris enters his room with Ember and Ronnie smokes at her. Ember got scared because of his presence and his hairstyle… it was weird for her.
"Ember… please be our guest."
He took her pink goggles and told his boys to give her their best room.
He went down and check all the cars and it was full of raw materials which is used for making drugs and he has to send it to Harry in his new location. All the officers were in their house and they all were upset. GK was in the hospital for James but he was not alone, Summer was also there for him. In the house, June was also and she
was sitting on the chair and she was staring at the table where Ember used to sit and eat food.
She was remembering the time when Ember was there with James… She stood from her chair and went out; she saw all their neighbours were standing there and they were there for her.
Harry was making tablets of drugs and dissolving it in the alcohol, he was about to drink it but he had a call.
"Good work. What about those missing materials?"
"I am looking at it also."
He cut the call and start drinking the alcohol.
