Chapter 165 - Assassination Attempt

Morgana smiled as she thinks of a plan on how to deal with the new target.

Meanwhile, in Seattle, Simone is out of the house with Niña, Daisy, and David. They were standing in front of Mc Gilvra's restaurant, Niña tried to run when she drops her ball and it rolled in the pavement to get it back but Simone step up to stop her. At the same time, they heard the sound of a gunshot. Simone stopped on her track and look down on her clothes now stained with her blood. Daisy hurriedly catch her as she was about to fall while David run to the building in front of the restaurant where he spotted the shooter. Martin who was on his way saw what happened and run towards the building with David.

The people inside the restaurant were shocked upon witnessing the incident, the manager of the restaurant who stood in the front door to greet them dialed 911 to call for an ambulance

A few minutes later, the ambulance arrived they took Simone to the hospital with Daisy and Niña who was still crying while clutching Simone's cold hand.

When the police arrived to investigate the incident, David and Martin are on their way back to the front of the restaurant dragging a man who was beaten black and blue by the two of them. When the police saw them they took the rifle that the man used from Martin to take it back as evidence and started to put handcuffs on the man but before he could do so, the man grabs the gun in his holster and shot David before he shot himself on his head.

David was shot in his right shoulder and the bullet penetrated his body. Martin held David in his arms while the police called for another ambulance.

The ambulance took David at the same hospital where the other ambulance took Simone. The police came to the hospital to take their statements. They also interview all the client's eating inside the restaurant and the manager who was at the front door at the time and saw the incident clearly.

According to the police, the results of the investigation show that the bullet that hit Simone is supposed to hit David. David is the real target of the shooter but when Simone steps in front of David the moment the gun was fired she blocked the bullet from hitting David and got hit by the bullet instead of David. The police didn't manage to get anything from the shooter because the man died even before they cuff him.

Martin called their superior and told him what happened to David. The superior on the other side of the line ordered Martin to put a guard on David and take him to a safe place as soon as he recovered. Unfortunately, David was hit in his right chest and his lungs were penetrated by the bullet. The doctor can't remove the bullet yet as it was stuck in a sensitive area. Simone and David were both in the ICU and still under observation. 

Martin called Arriane to tell her what happened and asks her to tell Morgana to come back immediately hoping that Morgana could help remove the bullet in David's lungs.

When Arriane heard the news, she called Morgana immediately and book a flight for herself. She was so shocked that she even forget that she has a system until she hears the weird sound in her head.

In Syria, when Morgana heard the news, she immediately summon the night hawk mini plane and fly back to Seattle.  

Morgana was running on the hospital lobby near the ICU when she encountered the hospital attendant pushing a hospital bed with a patient covered in white linen, the attendant is followed by a nurse coming out of the ICU. Behind the nurse is a doctor and Daisy holding a cloth in her hands that belongs to her mother Simone.
