Bloody night (saving Mekaila)
Marcus entered his dad's office and said, "The team is ready, and I've also given them the weapons."
While Zach was filled with sadness, thinking about his wife, Kong said, "That's good, son. You and Zach stay here for a moment. I'll just give them some instructions."
"Okay, Dad," Marcus replied.
He sat in his father's chair and asked Zach, "Are you okay?"
"I'm not okay, but there's nothing I can do," Zach said.
"Did Dad explain everything to you?" Marcus asked.
"Yes, why do you ask?" Zach replied, looking out the window.
"Just making sure you understand before it's too late," Marcus said.
"You know, Marcus, my mind is torn. I don't know what to do. My wife isn't safe, and now I know our daughters is being now looking for me already." Zach's voice was filled with despair.
"I don't know if they're okay or crying. I know they miss their mom so much that I'd do anything, even die, to bring her back," Zach said, his face filled with anger.
"You'll lose if you let anger control you. You know, brother, you don't need to stress yourself out so much. You need to trust yourself." Marcus's voice was calm, trying to reason with Zach.
"How can I trust myself? You see, it’s been almost a month and I still haven't saved her," Zach said.
"If you don't trust yourself, it's better to go back to in mom's place so you can be with your daughtes, and we will save your wife," Marcus said.
"Are you stupid? She's my wife. Do you think I can just forget about her?" Zach asked angrily.
"No, but how can you not think? Even if you have a brain, you're not using it," Marcus said angrily as he left.
Zach was very angry and shouted out all his frustration. After a while, his dad called him to eat because he had finished giving instructions to everyone.
"I'll eat later, Dad. I'll join you soon," Zach replied.
"It's almost 7. You should eat now because we will leave soon to save your wife." Kong said to her son Zach.
"What if my wife gets killed and taken hostage because there are so many of us?" Zach asked.
"Do you need to have some sense in your head?" his father asked angrily.
"You have a big brain, but it doesn't work," his father said.
"My men are ready to die for you, so get out there! I'm really angry at you now," Kong said. "Of you won't stop talking about that, you'll save your wife by yourself!"
Zach stayed quiet and just went out to eat.
After they ate, Kong introduced him to the people who would help save his wife.
At 7 PM, they left to go to the cabin. Kong reminded everyone that they needed to follow the plan so that no one would get lost, especially Zach because hi was so stubborn.
They are on the road now, and Marcus is driving while Kong and Zach are sitting next to each other. They are leading the way, followed by their teammates.
"What will I do later?" Zach asked.
"What else? You will come with me while Marcus and our group kill of the enemies. And we, will save your wife," Kong said.
"Okay," Zach replied as he got his gun ready.
"Put on your bulletproof vest and also put this in your ear so you can hear our teammates," Kong said.
"Thanks, Dad," Zach said.
His father just smiled at him and kept looking around.
"We're just an hour away from the fortress," Kong said, so he told Marcus to stop for a moment. He wanted to get the drone from the back of the car so they could see if there was anyone approaching from the front.
Marcus signaled to their teammates to stop, and they all pulled over. Marcus stopped the car too.
Kong got out of the car, he grab the drone. Then, he went back inside and told Marcus to start driving again.
Zach just stared at his father as he flew the drone.
"Don't look at me, Zach. Look at the monitor," Kong said.
"Sorry, I'm just happy that you are still with me despite my stupidity," Zach said.
"This is not the time for that. Be strong. You don't know who will live or die," Kong said.
"I know that, Dad, but I just want you to know that I don't want anyone to be lost," Zach said. "I haven't had the chance to spend a long time with you both."
"Like I said, you guys go in from the right side," Kong said. "Marcus, you guys go in from the left side, the ten of you will come with me and Zach.
"No one use bombs, grenades, or loud weapons unless necessary. We'll only use those when Mekaila is in our hands. Clear?" Kong said.
They charged in, one by one, to rescue Mekaila. Marcus and his team went through the main gate, while Kong and Zach took a path that was closer to Mekaila.
"Here," Kong said.
"There's someone here," Zach said.
"Follow me. They are sleeping, so don't make a sound. Walk quietly and stab them. " Kong said, stabbing one of them in the neck.
Zach nodded and followed Kong. They walked like they were normal, trying not to wake the enemies. Kong stabbed one in the neck, and Zach stabbed another in the chest, then the stomach, and then the head.
After they killed the guards, they propped them up to make it look like they were just sleeping. Then they entered the room where Mekaila was, and when they there's 3 guards inside. Luckily, they were just playing cards and their gun is at the floor.
But one of them drew his gun, forcing Zach to shoot. Kong quickly shot the 2 left.
"You idiot! Why did you fire? You just put us all in danger. Hurry, get Mekaila out of those ropes." Kong shouted at his team, while Zach quickly cut the ropes that bound Mekaila.
Mekaila was too weak to even stand, so Zach carried her, saying, "Let's go. Let's get her to the car first."
"Dad! Answer me, Dad!" Marcus shouted. "We need to use our guns now. Someone fired a shot earlier. Who was it?" He asked angrily.
"Use your guns! Get to us at the back. We have Mekaila. We need back up. Hurry!" Kong shouted.
Marcus and his team ran towards the back, engaging in a fierce gunfight with the numerous enemies.
Meanwhile, Zach, Kong, and their team were also in a shootout, being chased by the enemies.
The sheer number of enemies proved overwhelming, and one of Kong's men was killed. Zach was wounded in the arm.
"Run! Take her to the car!" Kong shouted to Zach.
"Come with me! Protect yourself," Zach pleaded.
"I'll follow you. Hurry! Get to the car before they catch you." Kong yelled.
"I don't want to lose you again, Dad. Come with me plss hurry upppppp!" Zach shouted, carrying Mekaila.
Zach's stubbornness, his refusal to leave his father behind, cost them dearly. The enemies caught up, and Kong was about to be killed but luckily the sniper shot took out the attacker.
"Why are you so stubborn?" Kong yelled at Zach as they ran towards the car.
"I don't want to lose anyone else," Zach replied.
"Damn it! Stop acting like a wimp! This isn't the time for your weakness to take over." Kong shouted angrily. "Get her in the car! Now!" he added.
Zach put Mekaila in the car, then ran back to help his father.
"You stay here, all of you. Especially you, Zach. Watch over your wife. Hide yourselves so the enemies won't see you."
Zach got into the car to hide, but Kong pulled him out, shouting in furious rage, "You idiot! Not the car! Get down in the grass! Use your head for once!"
Zach was confused, but he obeyed without question.
"Why you act like a kid? We're all getting hurt because of you!" one of his companions muttered.
"Leave me alone! I'm already angry enough!" Zach snapped back, silencing his companion who then kept watch for any enemies.
Meanwhile, Marcus flung a grenade, leaving only a handful of enemies standing. Thanks to Marcus's skills and his team's prowess, they had taken down a large number of attackers.
Kong, still engaged in a fierce gunfight, while he was coming towards Marcus.
"Marcus! Listen! There are too many enemies in my area. I'm running out of ammo. Get here fast." Kong yelled.
"Where are you?" Marcus asked.
Kong couldn't answer right away, still engaged in a gunfight. Marcus's impatient tone sparked his anger.
"Damn it! If my father dies, I'll kill every one of you!" Marcus shouted, charging forward and firing at the enemies.
"Throw those grenades! Aim for where the enemies are clustered!" Marcus commanded.
As the enemy leader arrived, he spotted Kong and pointed his gun at him, barking, "Drop your gun, Kong, or you'll be dead!"
Meanwhile, Marcus was consumed by fury. He was slaughtering any enemy he saw, even those begging for mercy.
"You know I won't stop until I have that diamond," the syndicate leader said, his voice cold. "And you know I'll do anything to get it. Hand it over, and your life will be spared."
"Before I give it to you, tell me why you kidnapped my son's wife!" Kong demanded, his voice shaking with rage.
"Because I know your son, Marcus, is powerful. And I know he's stronger than you so I target his brother's wife."
"You’re wrong for dragging my son into this because of your issues with me!" Kong shouted in anger.
"No, you’re the one who’s wrong, because you challenged me. If you want to live, hand it over. I’ll count to ten. If I don’t have it, you’re dead."
Conflicted, Kong wondered whether to give it to him or not, knowing he would still be killed even if he complied. As the enemy leader began counting, Marcus spotted his father standing with his hands raised while he listening to their conversation.
"Give me the bazooka," Marcus told his companion. "Dad, listen to me. Fall back and tell him you’ll give it."
Kong retreated with his hands up. "Wait, tell your men not to shoot, and I’ll give it to you." The enemy leader believed him.
Kong stepped back, while Marcus instructed him to move behind the wall to avoid being caught in the crossfire. But the enemy leader stopped him, saying, "You stay right there."
As the enemy's men prepared to approach for the diamond, Marcus whispered to his father, "When I count to three, dive behind the wall." Kong nodded, ready.
"Target locked on you, you demon bullshit leader!" Marcus snarled.
"One... two... dive!" Marcus shouted, firing the bazooka at the enemies as Kong dove behind the wall.
The rest of Marcus's group quickly followed him, while the remaining uninjured members of the enemies has been shot off by the snipers.
The enemy leader lay dead, unrecognizable after the bazooka blast, but Marcus approached the body anyway, pulling the trigger once more. "I’ll empty all my bullets into you," he said, filled with rage.
In the darkness, the air was thick with the smell of blood, and bodies were scattered everywhere. There were many dead and some kong's group is wounded. This was a night that Zach would never forget, while for Marcus and Kong, it was a night when they felt like kings, having triumphed over their enemies.
Meanwhile, Mekaila was fighting for her life. Zach rushed her to the hospital, desperate to save her.
As Zach and Mekaila were inside the hospital, Kong and his men's as will as marcus stood guard outside, watching over them.Download Novelah App
