Chapter 71 - It's gonna be a rough ride

Lena continued to stare through the glass. She was sure that the man inside the car was Gary. She would never mistake him for someone else.

She moved her face a bit further from the window and knocked on it with her right hand.

"Gary?" She spoke, hoping that he could hear her. However, it looked like he was unresponsive. She stepped back and looked at the car.

Lena was confused about the situation. Gary does not have a car, and why is he even here in the first place? She walked closer to the car again, this time trying to open the door. It was locked, no surprise there. She started knocking on the window again.

"HEY!" A man's voice shouted from behind her. "Get away from that car."

Lena turned around and saw two men. But what caught her eyes was that they had guns. Although they tried to hide it in their back, Lena still caught it. Lena was sure that the securities of the event and the hotel were not dressed like them.

"KYE!" She screamed for him.

Kye also saw the same thing as Lena when the voiced yelled out. He had already pulled out his gun. However, Kye was slower by a second and the other man took a shot at Kye. Everything happened so quickly.

"Get down!" Kye yelled at Lena.

Lena ran to hide behind the car that Gary was in and ducked down. Kye knew that these people were not very ordinary. He returned a few shots, to which the men went back inside the entrance for cover.

But he was lucky enough to shoot down one of the men. But what Kye did not expect was that there was another man behind him.

This one was in charge of watching the young man in the car. But, he needed to pee so he excused himself to the bushes and did his business there. Then he took a smoke break. He was enjoying the night sky when he heard several shots.

He came around to see Pablo shot down already and Dan was shooting inside from the building. The man, Harold, pulled out his own gun and took Kye by surprise. He took a shot at Kye.

Kye took a direct hit on his stomach and turned back to hit Harold on the leg and again right in his head. But before Kye could focus back on the man inside the building, he saw the man he was shooting by Lena already.

Dan smacked Lena on the neck when she turned to look at Kye who got shot. Her body dropped and he dragged her into the car as two other of his men continued to shoot at Kye. He started the car while the other men covered each other to enter the car.

Dan sped off even before all the doors were closed. Their mission was incomplete but they had to get out of here because the shots must have caused some noises.

James arrived just as the car sped off and took a few shots but Kye yelled. "Stop… she's in the car."

"What happened?!" James carried Kye quickly into the back seat, rushed into the driver's seat and drove off after the car.

Kye was losing a lot of blood. "Dammit!" He ripped off a piece of his shirt and tightened the pressure on his open wound.

James continued to chase after the car. "Are you going to be ok?" He glanced up to check on Kye using the back mirror.

"I am fine." Kye grunted. "Just make sure you don't lose that car."

James stepped on the gas. He still had sight of the car. He also multitasked and pushed a button to call Noah but it did not go through.

"F*ck! They are jamming the signal." James shouted when he could not use his phone too. He swayed the car back and forth as the car chase sped through the traffic.

"Just keep following the car."

To worsen their luck, another car was following them. James can see the car and a bunch of men with guns. They were closing in onto them.

"Hold on, it's gonna be a rough ride." James told Kye. Kye took a deep breath and opened his window.

"You drive, I'll shoot." Kye suggested.

Kye stuck himself out of the car window and shoot. He hid back inside when they returned fire and this continued.

"Where is Noah when you need that man to drive a damn car!" James joked among the intense situation. Noah was a master skill driver, that was why Lena always had in on driving duties.

What James did not expect was that another car approached them from the right and rammed them over. It was larger and James swerve off the road and crashed into the ditch,

"F*uck!" James yelled. He knocked his head and it was bleeding. He quickly grabbed his gun. "You still there Kye?"

"You drive like my grandma, and she doesn't even know how to drive."

They both knew at this point they had lost Lena and they will have to shoot their way out of this.
