Selena watched Vance grab his gun from the wardrobe and immediately wore the clothes he had earlier brought out.
He also grabbed a bullet-proof vest and put it on before calling someone. She couldn't hear the conversation, but with his harsh tone, she was sure that he was calling for backup.
Get into the bathroom." He yelled and she rushed into the bathroom.
He stood at the window and watched as the cars pulled up. From everything, he could see, including the size of the car, he was sure they were not there for tea.
He looked more closely as the doors of the car swung open and men in all-black clothes with masks jumped down.
This is going to be a long night." He muttered, gritting his teeth.
His grip tightened around his gun as he moved closer to try counting them, making sure his shadow would not reflect outside.
They are a lot." He said as they kept coming out of the car before assembling in front of his gate.
Vance, looking away from the window, grabbed his phone and called Steve again.
Where are you?? Get some guys with you and come straight to Arnold's mansion. I have unexpected visitors." He said and cocked his gun.
Okay Sir, we are on our way." Steve said, and, as he was about to hang up, when he heard the sound of a gunshot and the phone fell from his hands.
I need to call for backup." He said, pushing away the lady he was having a good time with.
He can handle himself, he is The Lucifer himself." The lady said, snuggling closer to him with her naked body.
Get off me." He said, pushing her away and grabbing his clothes. "We will continue this some other time."
With a wink, he left and locked her inside, taking the key with him.
Make sure the woman in my room doesn't leave." He said to the receptionist and, without another glance, he left.
Meanwhile...
Vance was quick to see the shooter when he targeted his window, so he moved immediately. He smirked as he saw the bullet stuck outside pointing at his shoulder.
It's bulletproof dumb ass." He muttered and positioned his gun in their direction.
I need to lead them away." He said and headed to his wardrobe where he brought out another gun, much bigger than the one he was holding at first.
He opened a small part of the window and fired a straight shot at one of them, taking his life away from him instantly as the bullet penetrated his chest.
They started firing shots back at the same direction, but he had already closed the window.
They finally stopped, and with a closer look, he saw how they managed to remove his gate, by just melting the sides. They couldn't jump over it because of how high it was, and they also couldn't jump over the fence because of the electric wires surrounding it.
They are all going to pay." he said with a baritone voice.
He quickly turned away from the window and glanced towards the bathroom door where Selena was hiding and as he was about to approach her a loud bang echoed through the house as the front door was kicked.
Vance wanted to leave the room but, on a second thought, he leaned at the back of the door and listened to their footsteps while waiting for them.
Their footsteps were in sync, which meant that they were not amateur killers like the ones he had always fought off, they were hired assassins.
Their footsteps became louder as they had finished checking the first floor and were now going up to the floor where he was.
Vance positioned his gun well as they drew closer. He watched as the door knob turned slowly before the door opened and with a flash of light he pulled the first man in before slamming the door and pinning the man against the wall followed by a heavy punch that was going to keep him dazed for a while.
Before the second guy could react, Vance, as fast as air, fired two straight shots at the middle of his chest and forehead, leaving him spiraling on the floor in his own blood and with his eyes open.
The first man struggled, but Vance was quicker. He drove his elbow into the man's throat, cutting off his air supply, and then twisted the gun from his hand. A swift kick to the knee followed by a final shot ended him immediately.
Vance pulled away from the door immediately to avoid the hail of bullets that came through the door and as he was about to duck behind the bed, one of the bullets grazed his thigh, leaving him to limp his way there.
When he finally secured a spot, he started firing back without even thinking of nursing the pain from his wound. Instead, he rolled across the floor, popping up to take another shot, dropping another bad guy.
He sucked into the side of the wardrobe, avoiding the shots that came from there, and a sudden crash came from the window.
He looked over and recognized the face. It was Steve and some other men. They had finally come. The men in the room also saw the outcome of things and informed eachother. They were unsure if they should retreat or continue.
More footsteps thundered down the hallway with a series of gunshots following suit. Vance grabbed a flashbang from his nightstand, yanked the pin, and hurled it into the hallway.
"Selena, get ready!" he shouted.
The flashbang went off, filling the house with a blinding light and a deafening boom. The men screamed in the room but Vance didn't waste a second. He charged towards the bathroom to get Selena, but she was nowhere to be found, and suddenly the light turned off.
The whole building was covered in darkness, making it unable for him to see where she was.
Silence.
Everywhere was quiet like a graveyard as he stood in front of the door trying to make out anything in front of him.
The shooting in the hallway resumed till they heard Vance's thunderous voice.
Seize fire." He shouted. "Selena is missing."
