Upon hearing the commotion, the gunmen in black suits immediately rushed in.
They scrambled to the window, shooting wildly at Daniel who was sprinting down the street.
The instant Daniel heard the gunfire, he abruptly changed direction.
His exceptional reflexes enabled him to nimbly evade all the bullets with serpentine maneuvers.
Daniel rushed to the side of the vehicle, got in, and Sophia flung herself at him, a mess of tears and sniffles.
"I'm sorry, Daniel," she began. "If it wasn't for me..."
Before she could finish, Daniel ruffled Sophia's hair and cut her off, "Don't be silly. Stop overthinking. I'll take you home first."
The car roared to life, and soon only a streak of tail light remained on the road.
Back inside the bar, the gunmen saw their target had disappeared and had no choice but to leave the room and report to Nicola.
Nicola's brow furrowed, "Where is he?"
One of the men in black answered, "He jumped out of the window and drove off."
