Milo was driving in his car heading back to his office, then he got a call. He looked to the Bluetooth in the car and saw that it was a call from Amelia. The whole ordeal he went through completely flew to the back of his head, and a smile graced his face. He picked up the call immediately so that Amelia won't have the chance to rethink and end the call.
"Why, good morning Miss Amelia. How can I be of service to you this wonderful day?" He asked in a funny British accent, and Amelia could not help but give a small laugh. She suddenly realized what she did and cleared her voice. Milo chuckled lowly.
"I need your help Ivanov" she said to him in her strong and confident voice. She did not sound like a person who needed help at all. Milo gave a slight hum "For someone who needs help, you sure sound a little haughty" He said to her. He could already see Amelia in his head rolling her eyes.
"Are you helping me or not?" They both said at the same time. Milo had been with her long enough to know her to-go statement every time she speaks. He laughed a little "What can I help you with?" He asked.
Amelia turned back to her confident self "I need Amelia's Choice and Trust Investments to sign a contract together on sharing resources with one another" she laid down her thoughts. Milo asked "Why don't you just ask me to invest in whatever project it is you want to start?"
"That's because you are the project" she replied, but instead, he became confused "What?" He asked. She shook head slightly "Let me rephrase. I need the connections you have to get by with the project. It's not your investment I need, but you" she spelled it out for him.
"That's deep" He said jokingly and laughed, but Amelia was not in the mood "Be serious Ivanov" she told him in a stern voice and his laughter died down "Alright, I'm sorry" he cleared his voice a little bit "But you know, I could just help you out with that if you asked me sweetly" He said in the soft voice that was only used for her, but Amelia not understanding what he meant, took an offence to what he said.
"So you mean I should go through other means to get a deal with you?" She asked him. Milo sighed "No, that's not what I_"
He could not complete his sentence because a gunshot rang out and his car stopped aggressively. He had noticed the cars that were following him but did not say anything because of the call with Amelia.
Amelia's ears perked up at the sound "What was that?" She asked him, but he dismissed it "Nothing. One of my tires just burst" He replied casually as he watched the cars get closer to him. Amelia looked at her phone suspiciously like she was looking at Milo "That does not sound like a tire burst Ivanov. Where are you?" She was already up and ready to make it to where he was.
Amelia was too trained to not recognize the sound of gunshots. Anyone who watched thriller movies a lot would know how a gunshot sounded, talking less of a person who played with guns a few times.
Milo's little chuckle was heard over the phone "I didn't know you cared about me so much. Later darling" he ended the call quickly as one of the men who had already gotten out of their car began to make a move to his car.
He waited till when they got to his car door before opening the door aggressively hitting the man with it. The man fell to the ground harshly. Milo came down from his car and saw that he was surrounded by a lot of men with guns.
He raised his hands in a way to show surrender while using his eyes to access everyone around him. He saw that they were about 17 men. If they were alone, he could take all of them down, but they all had guns. While he formulated a plan in his head, he decided to stall.
"Who sent you guys? Because this is all private area. You can't get in here easily" He asked them. The one who seemed to be the leader answered "You will be shocked if you found out. It's better you don't know and just come with us" he said and signaled one of the boys to get Milo, but Milo still conversed with them making the one coming to him to stop.
"I don't think I will be shocked by anything in my life. A lot of things have happened to me to not be surprised. You know, my family_"
"No one wants to hear you sob story. Get him" the leader cut him off and the guy came to grab Milo, but Milo quickly took away the gun from his hand and used the guy's body as a shield.
The leader commanded them to shoot, but Milo using the body of the guy who came to get him as a shield did not get shot. He used the gun he had gotten to shoot the men on his left, and the guy's body as shield to his right.
He made sure to shoot them in places that would not cause death, but only severe pain to them. One of the guys from the right side came unto him, so he dropped the dead guy's body and avoided the jab punch he got to his face.
The leader of the group also came and tried to hook punch him but Milo covered it with his elbow and gave him and uppercut. All the other guys came unto him at once after that. He was doing his best in fighting them off, but then one of the guys took a cloth filled with chloroform and covered his nose from the back. Milo immediately sensing what it was stopped breathing, but he could not hold on for long, and then he collapsed.
The leader of the group went into Milo's car and took out his phone. He placed the phone on the ground and stepped on it hard crushing the phone. He looked to his boys "Let's go" he gave the command.
They all began to get into their cars leaving Milo's car by the side of the road.
