Chapter 97 - 97. Aaron I Am Coming

"What happened?" Kizy, who was playing on her phone, kept it aside and asked.

After all, Aaron shouting and getting tensed up was not an everyday thing.

"How could I forget Satan? He was trying to remain silent all this while, so that he could attack suddenly." Aaron said to himself.

"What happened Aaron?" Kizy asked again.

"Markus's men attacked our hotel behind the mountains. I will go and fight." Aaron said, about to leave the room.

"Wait. I am coming.." Kizy said.

"No, don't. Markus is attacking with full force. I should have understood that he won't remain silent after that oldie's death. I knew they were searching for our base near mountains, but I never knew that they would actually find it this fast." Aaron said going to the weapon room.

"Aaron let me come. You lack sharpshooters and I somehow turn out to be good at that. Plus I have seen Markus's men, they are better at guns." Kizy tried to convince Aaron.

"No Kizy. Not when I know that Satan is after your life." Aaron said firmly.

"I promise I will protect myself, and believe me Aaron I can do this." Kizy said.

Till now, Aaron's men were already informed and thus were standing in a straight line in the main hall.

Aaron picked his gun up, about to leave the weapon room when Kizy stopped him.

"Aaron I am coming." This time she told her decision instead of placing a request.

"No Kizy I said-" Aaron was speaking when Kizy interrupted.

"Aaron I am telling you, not asking or requesting. You said that we will be partners. And I feel there is no need to ask for your permission while being your partner." Kizy said.

"Okay. But I don't want to see even a single scratch on your body. Will that do?" Aaron asked seriously after considering her thoughts for a minute.

"Yes." Kizy replied firmly.

"Let's go." He said to Kizy and his teammates.

It took them fifteen minutes to reach the hotel base at their maximum speed.

But the moment they entered their area, they were welcomed with open fire. Bullets were raining from all the sides while drivers were doing their best to not pause or stop.

Aaron's side had a total of three cars. And he had already ordered them not to back off. Few of his men along with Raymond were inside the hotel, fighting Markus's men from inside.

Thus he was sure that Markus's men would try everything to break them apart so as to weaken their strength. But if he was to somehow enter inside the hotel, then their entire force would be enough to fight back.

One of the cars was leading Aaron's car while the second one was following them from behind.

Kizy and Aaron were both seated in the middle car, ready to attack whenever needed.

But suddenly the first car stopped in tracks, making the other two behind it screech to a halt.

"Why did you stop?" Aaron shouted at the driver.

"Boss they have placed some barrels in front. We don't know if the barrels contain explosives. Thus we can't risk driving our cars through the barrels barrier." Driver replied.

"Move aside." Suddenly Kizy shouted from behind the driver's seat.

"Kizy you stay behind." Aaron said in a firm voice.

"Aaron you listen to me. We don't need to go and collide with those barrels. Let's take all three vehicles in reverse mode. And keep our vehicle at the forefront. Let me shoot those barrels." Kizy said loading her gun.

"No that's dangerous. What if those barrels explode? Let me shoot." Aaron said, dismissing Kizy's idea.

"That's why I am asking you to reverse all our vehicles. I will shoot from a distance. At least trust me once Aaron." Kizy said frustratedly.

Aaron remained silent for a minute, but the firing from the opposite side was getting worse with each passing minute.

"Ok. We will do as you say." Aaron said.

"All vehicles will move thirty meters in reverse direction." Aaron ordered and all three drivers followed.

"Give me a bulletproof vest along with a helmet." Kizy ordered.

Aaron's man, who was sitting on the front passenger seat, looked at Aaron, as if asking for his permission.

"Get two sets for the same." Aaron ordered.

"Why two?" Kizy asked.

"I won't leave you alone baby girl." Aaron said with a smile, his sapphire eyes sparkling.

Kizy didn't say anything in return. The man in the front passenger seat provided both Kizy and Aaron with vests and helmets.

"Ask both of our cars to protect us from both sides. I will shoot alone through my window. No one else would open their windows though." Kizy paused.

"Open my window." She ordered.

This time the driver didn't delay and quickly accepted her order. While the other two drivers covered their middle car from both the sides.

As soon as her window rolled down, Kizy shot three barrels in a row. These shots were followed by three consecutive explosions, showing that the barrels were truly filled with explosives.

But due to Kizy's idea, none of their vehicles suffered from any harm, except experiencing a few vibrations from the explosion.

Kizy continued shooting the barrels which were roughly twenty in numbers. She was done shooting eight or nine barrels when she suddenly stopped.

"Wait." She said.

"What happened? Aaron asked from the side, who was busy shooting people through Kizy's open window, protecting her all this while.

"This is a trap!!" Kizy shouted.

"What do you mean by-" Aaron was speaking when Kizy cut him off.

"Ask Raymond and your men to leave this building in any condition. These people are trying to delay us from reaching the hotel which means they must have some plan. I don't know what their plan is, but ask all your men to leave the building at once!!" Kizy shouted at Aaron.

Aaron instantly dialled for Raymond, who picked up his call on the fourth ring.

"Hello Bos-" Raymond was interrupted by Aaron.

"Leave the building right now." Aaron said.

"But boss, we can hang on for another ten-" And Aaron again cut Raymond off.

"I said leave the building. Just follow my orders. No more questions. I want all of you out within one minute." Aaron said.

"Ok boss." Though Raymond wanted to refuse, he didn't dare to question his boss at such a time.

"Leave the hotel." He ordered other men who were busy shooting through doors and windows of the hotel.

All men stopped shooting at once and left the hotel through their secret back door. They took the back road and ran for some time, before joining the path where Aaron's vehicle was standing at the entrance.

Those men started shooting from behind and managed to reach Aaron's vehicle.

"Boss we are back." Raymond said, encircling the car with other men.

Aaron simply looked at Kizy, as if questioning what was happening.

"There is something wrong." Kizy muttered to herself.

"I think-" She started speaking with Aaron when a loud explosion was heard.

"BOOM!!"

And the hotel which was standing in front of their eyes moments ago, was turned into debris.

The explosion was strong, shaking all the vehicles. Raymond, along with themen surrounding the vehicles were thrown away. Even the vehicles felt strong waves from the explosion.

Kizy, who was still contemplating what was happening, was engulfed in a protective hug by Aaron, shielding her completely within his strong arms.

Once the vibrations died down, he immediately released her from the hug, checking her from head to toe.

"Are you hurt anywhere?" Aaron asked.

Kizy was about to shake her head when she shouted.

"Aaron!!" 

"Are you hurt?" Aaron asked in a panicked voice.

"N.. no.. no… your.. your arm-" Kizy said, looking pale.

That's when Aaron noticed that his arm was penetrated at multiple places by glass shards, most probably broken from the car window during the explosion.

"Boss your arm is bleeding!!" The man in the front passenger seat shouted.

"Don't worry about that. These are some minor scratches." Aaron said, still checking on Kizy.

"You should get treated first." Kizy said, panicking a little.

After all, if not for Aaron enveloping her into his hug, the one to be pierced by those glass shards would be her.

"Don't worry baby girl. It is just a minor injury." Aaron said, ignoring his wounds.

"No, lets go to hospi-" Kizy was still speaking when a man from another vehicle shouted.

"Boss Raymond and others are injured!!" He shouted.

Aaron looked at his surroundings, noticing that no men from the enemy side were left. All of them had escaped during the explosion.

He quickly climbed down from the car, and ran towards Raymond.

Once he saw that all his men, including Raymond, were trying to stand and help each other up, he sighed a little.

"Boss your arm!!" Raymond exclaimed, limping towards Aaron.

"First check if all others are okay?" Aaron ordered Raymond.

Thus Raymond unwillingly went to others first, checking up on their wounds.

Except for the driver of one vehicle and Aaron, no one was gravely injured from the explosion.

"Get inside." Kizy said in a firm voice to Aaron.

Once he climbed inside the car, she ordered the driver.

"To the hospital right away." Kizy said and turned towards Aaron.

But one look at him and she turned white.

"Aaron!!" She shouted.
