Chapter 152 - Lead

As everyone started searching the hall, the security guard who was in the surveillance room came running," Boss madam is on the first floor" as soon as Lucas heard him he rushed to the first floor along with the cops who were called by Ron.

Lucas had this bad feeling when he saw Natasha who was here but in different attire. Without wasting any time more, he rushed on the first floor and walked through the corridor when he found the door of one room opened where he heard Natasha yelling.

Present

Lingaa never thought Natasha would turn into a lunatic and act recklessly to get her revenge on Elena. He was grateful that Lucas had reached on time and saved her or god knows what would have happened.

Pulling out his phone he made a call to Tin informing him that Elena was safe.

As soon as the red light of the OT room turn off, Daniel came out and without sparing a glance at the other two pairs of eyes he walked straight towards his brother.

Lucas who had his head lowered down didn't dare to look up fearing something bad to listen. Squatting on his knees Daniel held his brother hands which were resting on his knees," Brother" his words snapped lifted Lucas face and looked at his brother.

"Tell me she is fine" 

A sigh of relief escaped from his mouth when Daniel nodded his head. Without asking anything further Lucas dashed inside the room walking straight to his life.

Outside the room, Ethan and Lingaa too felt relief that Elena was safe or else no one knew what would have happened here if Daniel said otherwise.

"How did all this happened?" Daniel asked both the men who looked each other before Ethan opened his mouth.

After telling everything Daniel felt chills running down his spine. He turn to look at Lingaa and said," Aren't you the model whom brother hired" he asked.

"I'm much more than that" patting his shoulder Lingaa walked out from the hospital to handle certain someone.

"Dude what did he mean?" he then turn to Ethan and asked but the latter patted his shoulder and went to make a call to Samantha informing about Elena's accident.

Dumbfounded Daniel left the place and walked back to look at Elena's report.

****

Inside the room, Lucas sat next to Elena waiting for her to open her eyes. The time he saw blood all over her hands and head made him loose his soul. But now that she was fine and in front of him, he didn't wanted to leave her side.

He cursed the time when he let her go alone parting away from him, if he had not let her go she would've not be in this condition.

"Sunshine wake up" he caressed her hair as his fingers trace on the white bandage wrapped around her forehead.

Stirring in her sleep, Elena opened her eyes as if she heard his deepest plea. Lucas who was next to her saw her waking up," Sunshine.. do you feel uncomfortable? Wait let me call Daniel" he got up to leave but she held his wrist making him stop.

"Natasha" She voice came out like a whisper as his face turn cold at the mention of that women's name. 

"She is dead" his voice didn't show any sympathy but the person who was lying on the hospital bed tried to sit up when she heard him.

"What do you mean by she is dead" 

Lucas made her sit and held her hands which were wrapped with bandage. She was the reason why Elena was in the hospital and he didn't feel bad for her death as she deserved it.

"Someone shot her" he said caressing her cheeks as she tried to absorb the news.

"How?" she still couldn't believe Natasha was dead.

Sighing he looked up but didn't utter a word making her more curious. She was waiting for him to speak but he just kept looking at her without saying anything.

"She had come to kill you but before she could do that we reached the room stopping her action. The cops had arrested her but she freed herself from them and again came to attack you when she was shot" 

"The cops shot her" she was relief that Lucas had not done anything in his anger.

"No" 

His answer made her looked at him in shock with again the same fear started popping up.

"Then who?" she didn't wanted to hear anything if her doubts were about to confirm.

"Landon" his words made her gasp as she covered her mouth.

"Their target was you but he shot her..." he said fisting his hand controlling his anger in order to not scare her.

"Marcus most trusted man" she asked watching his eyes turn blood shot.

Without letting his mind get control by his anger, Elena pulled Lucas into a bone crushing hug. She knew Lucas was just suppressing himself in front of her and at this moment she only had to soothe his anger.

"I'm safe. It's okay" hiding his face into her shoulder, Lucas wrapped his arms around her waist holding her tight as if she would vanish if he loosen his grip.

Patting his back she let him stay like that until he wanted to hold her. After sometime Lucas pulled back from her and pecked her lips," Never leave my side" his words were soft but his voice was stern.

Nodding her head she agreed and again hugged him.

Lingaa secret place

Lingaa opened the door of the basement were Tin had brought the man along with him.

"That bastard managed to run" he said as soon as he saw Lingaa entering in.

Walking straight to the man, Lingaa landed a punch on his face knocking the man in one shot. He was way too angry how this turned up. If not for Tin, he would have not known that Elena's life was in danger.

"Go and treated your wound Tin. We have lot of things to do" he turn to look at his friend arm which was shot my Landon. Luckily the bullet passed through his skin only giving him a scratch.

"I will...but don't do anything to him, he is the lead for us to reach the place" Lingaa's eyes were on the man who was now lying on the floor unconscious.

Just when Tin was about to leave, Aksa came in and saw the man fallen unconscious," Woah.. did you both handles him alone without me" he came in and handed Lingaa the phone Natasha was carrying along with the small chip like camera.

"Did you inform her father about her death?" Lingaa didn't wanted to let the father not see his girl for the last time. He knew August adored his daughter a lot and now by her death he could tell that August must be cursing to join hands with Marcus.

"Yes and I saw how he cried" Aksa who had went to the department to tell about the leads they had got from Tin and also informed August about Natasha's news.

"Do all the rituals properly and let him out to give a final goodbye before taking him back."

Nodding his the trio left the basement and headed upstairs to see what they had to know more.

Hospital

"Sister-in-law,Do you feel any concussion" Daniel who was checking Elena made sure to ask if she was having any discomfort.

"No"

"Good. Everything is fine, even her blood pressure is normal. Brother make sure to keep dressing the bandage and keep them dry" Daniel gave all the instruction to his brother who was pestering him to check his wife properly.

From the time she woke up, he had been calling him to have her full body checkup which annoyed Daniel a lot. She was fine and didn't need any but this overbearing brother of his was not listening.

"Sister-in-law you really need to teach him patience. This husband of your is annoying sometimes"

"What did you say" Lucas who's eyes were on both of them listen everything.

"Hehe brother.. nothing I just asked her to take rest" as cheeky his smile was Lucas wanted to smack that face.

"She lost blood do we need to induce blood in her body" he asked looking how pale she was looking with all those bandage wrapped on her hands and head.

"No she only need food to eat everything else is good" he paused and looked outside.

"That model of yours did came back" he asked Lucas making him look at Elena.

"You mean Lan" she asked.

"Yes that man. He was waiting outside with brother before you woke up" he said but the next thing he saw his brother throwing dagger on him.

Lucas who had his hands inside his pants pocket pulled them out and fisted making Daniel gulp his words down.

"Aaa.. sister-in-law I think you should rest for a while before you leave" saying this he walked out as soon as possible before his brother punishes him. Both Ethan and Daniel knew that Lucas didn't like that model who tried to come close to Elena.

"Why do you bully him so much" she smiled looking at Lucas who was sure cursing Daniel in his mind

"Because he speaks nonsense sometime"
