"Hello, Noah. Noah." Joshua shouted. But he got no response and the line went dead immediately after.
"What the fuck!!" He cursed in anger and stood up at once. But the sudden movement sent a gush of pain through his body and he sat down immediately. He sucked in a deep breath as he tried to soothe in pain.
Ignoring the numbing pain, Joshua dialed Noah's number only to find it not reachable. An ominous feeling filled his heart and Aria's message popped up in his mind.
'Did someone really betray us? Do we actually have a spy among us?' He wondered. 'But why didn't Maggie speak a word about it? We could have dealt with him before this?'
Joshua barely had time to think about it when he saw the location Aria and Ivy were at and immediately his eyes popped out in shock and fear. They were right on the road where Noah and his men were. In fact, they were even ahead of Noah and in a few minutes, they would catch up with Jared and Maggie.
"Oh, dear Lord!!" Joshua was going crazy by the turn of events. He barely had time to comprehend matter when another would pop up and he had no idea how to deal with all of them.
"No, no, no. This can't be. How did Aria and Ivy reach Jared even before Noah did? How is it even possible?" He mumbled as he continued to track the sisters and Noah.
Noah and Ronnie's phones were unreachable and Aria and Ivy were not picking his calls. Joshua had no idea what to do, and all he could do was watch his laptop and keep an eye on the GPS. Neither could he leave the mansion, nor could he help them in any other way. Utterly helpless, the man just prayed everyone to be alright by the end of the night.
Joshua continued to monitor his friends while he tried to contact them at the same time. It was only after a long time that he could reach Ronnie and the moment he did so, all he heard was the heavy firing of guns.
"Master Martin, we have been ambushed. I will contact you soon. I am sorry." Ronnie stated and ended the call before Joshua could even speak a word. He then kept a watch, firing at his enemies, not letting go of anyone in sight.
"Boss, nine." He alerted and Noah immediately fired a bullet in the direction, brilliantly hitting the man who was trying to hide from them.
"How the fuck did this happen??" Noah filled his gun with the bullets and ducked to avoid being seen.
Everything had been going according to their plan and they had been keeping a watch on Jared from afar. But right after they received a message from Aria, informing him about the spy in his group, Noah and Ronnie were surrounded from all sides and the car behind them even banged against theirs, sending their car tumbling over.
Fortunately for them, Noah's men were right around and they attacked their enemies, taking them down one by one. They could only manage to get out of their cars once his men arrived for his help.
"Boss, do we really have a spy? Is Madam's intuition right this time?" Ronnie muttered as he looked around him, his eagle sharp eyes trying to detect his enemy.
"I presume so. Otherwise, how will you explain this sudden attack, Ronnie? There must be a spy among us."
"Who could it be, Boss?"
Since their men were here, Ronnie and Noah stopped firing and stood still. But they did not let their guards down lest someone should attack them from behind. They were still in disbelief to think that they had a spy among them, and the worst part was that they had no idea who it was.
Noah ran his eyes, observing his men silently. But he could not decide who among them was working for Jared. He knew everyone like the back of his and none among them seemed to be a betrayer. Stuck in a fix, Noah could only clench his fists in anger.
"Boss, what do we do about Madam and her sister?" Ronnie frowned and asked the man who had gone silent all of a sudden. Even though he could not see his expression, he more or less had an inkling about his state of mind.
Noah was angry, livid even. Not only did he have to deal with a spy now, he even had to make sure that his sweetheart and her sister were safe and fine. Just the thought about Aria being in danger was enough to make him lose his mind.
"Ronnie, we have to leave. I cannot allow Aria and Ivy to deal with Jared on their own." Noah stood straight and glanced at his trusted man before he started walking.
"I agree, Boss. What do we do about the men here?" Ronnie followed him closely, even though his eyes were roaming around him, keeping a look.
Barely had the two men come out of their hiding when one among their enemies mustered his courage to shoot them. But Ronnie was quicker than him and he managed to kill him even before he could fire a bullet at them.
Noah was far away from his car and he had to run for a few seconds to get to one of the cars. Seeing him come out of his hiding, his men formed a protective shield around them immediately, stopping any attacks on him from the enemy side.
Sending his men a grateful smile, Noah rushed towards one of the cars.
"Ronnie, I will leave this matter for you to handle. Take care of all of them and make sure that they do not leave this place alive. Also, if possible find the spy. Aria, Ivy, and Maggie are already in danger and I need to save them before Jared does something to them."
Noah barked orders at him, losing his composure completely. His fear only rose as time passed and all he wanted was to teleport to his dear girl and save her and the other two girls as soon as possible.
"Tch, tch, tch, do you really think you can leave this place and save your sweetheart, Noah?"
Noah was yet to give more orders to Ronnie when someone stopped him and the familiar voice made him freeze on his spot.
