Chapter 154 - The Man In Black Clothes

"Listen, please tell me how much money you want? I'll give you five times that amount and I also promise you I won't report you to the police." She calmly requested the driver.

"Sorry but today is the day you will die and no one can save you."

Just then Rachel saw a bike approaching her, she got some hope and she tried to get the attention of this biker.

When she saw the biker, she got a weird feeling, the person looked like a man but he was covered in black from top to bottom.

He was wearing a black leather jacket, black pants and a helmet over his head.

Nevertheless she hit on her window to get his attention but the man on the bike ignored her and went way ahead of her car.

Rachel sighed in disappointment but just then that bike suddenly stopped horizontally in front of her car, the driver didn't expect this and he reflexively pressed on the brakes.

The driver stopped the car with a jerk, Rachel felt thankful and tried to get off the car but she couldn't as it was locked.

The driver was not sure if this man came there randomly or he came to protect Rachel but anyway he quickly kept his gun ready and decided to again drive away but just then the man in black clothes took out a gun and shot on the car tires.

Rachel and the driver both got shocked as the guy shot two bullets, destroying both the front tiers.

Rachel understood this man was here to help her and she felt a little better.

But the driver suddenly pointed a gun to her head, "Let's die together."

Rachel got scared as now she was not sure what to do but just then she heard a click sound, the man in black opened the car door on the driver's side and pulled the driver out.

The driver too was startled as he was facing Rachel and was turned around, he decided to kill Rachel and if needed to die with her as they were still in the car, he didn't expect the man in black clothes to have the car keys and for him to unlock the car door and to drag him out, he assumed he is safe till he is in the car.

"Who are you?" The man in black clothes asked the driver in a hoarse voice.

The driver didn't answer him and rather tried to attack the man.

The man in black clothes easily dodged the attack and held the driver's wrist and turned him around.

"Why are you trying to kill her?" The man in black clothes again asked him in a muffled voice.

"Why should I answer you?" 

The man in black clothes harshly twisted his hand and the driver shouted in pain.

Rachel witnessed this and she tried to wake Frank and Sam but they were still lying conscious.

She didn't know what to do, to stay in the car or to get out and help the man in black clothes.

She finally decided to help him, she can't keep sitting when someone has put their life in danger to protect her.

The driver shouted in pain as his arm was twisted very painfully, "Who ordered you to kill her?" The man in black clothes asked again.

Rachel just got out and heard his hoarse voice and the question he asked.

"I can't answer you" The driver refused to answer so the man in black clothes pushed him down to his knees and stomped on his feet.

The driver shouted in pain but didn't answer him.

So the man in black clothes, took out a knife and started slowly piercing it into driver skin, he started piercing the back of his neck as it is one of the most sensitive parts of a human body.

The driver shouted in pain and Rachel too frowned seeing this action, she too got scared as she could imagine how torturous it must be.

The driver was on his knees with his head down and the man in black clothes held both his hands behind and held it strongly with his one hand and he pierced the knife into his skin with his other hand.

"You will not answer me?" The man in black clothes again asked and pierced his skin deeper with the knife.

"Ahhh" The man shouted in pain.

The man in black clothes was not affected and he pierced even deeper.

"I can't tell you no matter how much you hurt me" The driver managed to say these words.

"Why?"

"The people involved are very powerful"

"Tell me the truth and I will protect you."

The driver didn't say anything, the man in black clothes suddenly put his hand in the driver's shirt pocket and as expected he found a medicine in there.

The driver tried to get his hands released and stop the man but before that the man in black clothes threw down the medicine and crushed it.

"Are you crazy?" The driver shouted at him.

"I am not going to let you die so easily." The man in black clothes warned him and just then the two other cars with the other security guards arrived there.

Few security guards quickly arrived, some went towards the driver and the man who held him and the others went to Rachel to check on her and if she was harmed.

"Tie his hands and his legs, keep him safe and don't let him get away, he will try to kill himself, ensure that won't happen."  

The man in black clothes instructed the security guards and they quickly tied the driver's hands and legs.

"Who are you?" One of the security guards asked the man in black clothes.

"Big boss hired me as a back-up"

Saying this the man took his bike and quickly left.

Rachel tried to approach the man and thank him but within seconds he was gone.

She stood there rooted in shock looking at the bike that drove away.

"Ma'am we are very sorry, the diesel pipe of our cars was leaking." One of the security guards explained.

"It's okay, how are Sam and Frank?"

"Ma'am they are fine, they were just injected with a strong dose of sleep medicine."

"Will they be fine?"

"Yes ma'am after few hours they will wake up"

"Who was that man?"

"We are not sure ma'am but he just told me he was hired by the big boss as a back-up" The security guard who asked the man in black clothes this question answered Rachel.

"Who is this big boss?"

"Your grandpa, James Richardson"

"Oh" Rachel just nodded her head.

The security men tied up the driver properly as instructed by the man in black clothes, they injected him with a strong dose of sleep medicine, it was more stronger than what he injected to Sam and Frank, so that he doesn't struggle.

They informed their other team about what happened and then they safely escorted Rachel, Sam, Frank and the driver back to London.

….

The man in black clothes drove in full speed and after some time he reached a deserted area, there was a small cottage there, he entered inside and took off his helmet and breathed freely.

He was sweating as he was wearing leather clothes and he was completely packed.

He sighed in relief as he was able to save Rachel and his intuition was right, she was again attacked and he was thankful to make preparations in advance.

He turned on his phone and then he went to a room where he took a bath and changed back to his normal clothes.

He came here in his private plane which is currently waiting for him at the airport which was near so he decided to head to the airport quickly to reach London and just then his phone rang, it was a call from Patrick.

"Hello"

"Hey Daniel, I have some good news." Patrick sounded cheerful.

"What is it?" Daniel asked him curiously.

"I just arrested Andrew and Sophia"

"What?" Daniel was surprised as he didn't expect this news at all, it was a great day for them as they got hold of the guy who was trying to kill Rachel and now they caught Andrew and Sophia too.

"Yes, we finally caught them. I need you and Rachel to come to the police headquarters to identify them so that we can finally seal this case."

"I am busy, some important surgeries are lined up but I can visit you in a few hours." 

"Sure, Rachel too would be coming after a few hours as she went on a business trip, ensure you visit us by evening."

"I'll be there as soon as I am done with my work."

"Great"

"By the way how did you catch them?" Daniel was curious.

"It is a long story, I'll tell you everything once you and Rachel meet me today."

"Okay sure"
