Chapter 97 - Stay And Do More Of This

Raine gathered her feet together and opened her mic back online as she composed herself. Her heart was aching, but now was not the time to mourn. Two of her men had just sacrificed their lives to make sure Xander was alive. She had to make sure that their lives were not wasted for nothing.

"I'm on my way to the hospital now. I already reported what was necessary to your uncle," Tyrone informed. "He wanted to assign you to another mission. Members of the Moon Clan were caught and under the custody of the military," he continued. "He mentioned a name, Megan. He wanted you to take care of it before the military got any information about the Moon Clan through her. He plans to meet you tomorrow. He will contact you any minute now…" 

Gritting her teeth, Raine leered, "I don't want to hear his voice."Mia, block my uncle's call till tomorrow," she instructed as she headed towards the surgery room.

"Copy, Boss," Mia answered. 

Xander's surgery was still ongoing, and Raine had to keep her presence to a minimal so as to not look too obvious. The surgery soon finished, and Xander was shifted to the ICU. Levi and Mia monitored the CCTV footage for any suspicious movements heading towards the ICU.

Raine saw Rui along the hallway.

"How is he?" she asked, ignoring Rui's dimmed expression.

"What do you expect? If anything happens to him…" Rui threatened but paused.

"Nothing will happen to him. So instead of making baseless assumptions, make sure to heighten the security around him!" Raine hissed as she walked past him.

"Boss," Mia breathed.

"What is it?" 

"We're seeing movements of unknown personnel wearing a white lab coat and a face mask."

Raine immediately put on a face mask to blend in as she headed to the ICU.

"Boss, hurry. The intruder silently and quietly knocked down the military officers in place and is now trying to open the door with a cut thumb," Levi reported.

"I'm here," Raine said as she walked inside the ICU. The lack of guards was already alarming.

"Boss, I can't jam the CCTV footage, so make sure you won't show your face to the cameras," Mia informed. She and Levi were able to hack the system and monitor the CCTV footage but had failed to freeze it.

Steeling herself, Raine entered the ICU, only to freeze for a split second as she saw a downed Dr. Gong and the offending intruder sneaking towards Xander.

Like a coiled snake, she sprang into action.

"Khh…"

With a hard kick, Raine lunged at the invader. Her leg connected with his arms, however, but it still got the job done as he flew towards the nearest wall.

The sound of clattering medical equipment rattled across the ICU as Raine quickly moved to follow up her opening salvo. While she knew that she had to be quiet, it didn't mean she had to pull her punches.

And right on time too.

Quickly skidding on the smooth tiles of the ICU, Raine raised her arms up to defend against the intruder's rebuttal. A flurry of punches and kicks buffeted her as she deftly bided her time for a counter. All the while, she monitored her position to make sure that she won't get cornered by an insignificant- There!

"Grrr…"

With a silent growl, she delivered a swift uppercut just between the intruder's arms. Her opponent slid backwards, but he moved to engage her again.

This time, however, Raine was prepared.

With a click of her tongue, she quickly dropped low on the ground. Sweeping her leg, she knocked the intruder down before swiftly moving herself to pin him down. 

"The military men are coming, Boss. You have to get out of sight," Levi said from the other line. 

Raine quickly knocked the man out and immediately escaped the ICU room.

"Are you able to jam the CCTV footage by now, Levi? They will tail me at this point." 

"Ah, the system is still updating, Boss. I'm at 80%. Head to the exit door on your right and by then, it'll be at 100%. I'll manage to jam it… Damn, they're tailing you now." Levi exclaimed as he worked on his computer, his fingers typing as fast as Mia.

90%...

He was restlessly shaking his legs…

"95 percent Boss…" Levi updated. 

Raine walked in long strides since she would look more suspicious if she ran. "I'm almost there Levi…" she whispered.

"Wait till it's 100 percent, Boss," Levi said.

"98… 99… Boss, now!" Levi exclaimed. 

Raine quickly went through the exit door on the hallway right after the military officer took the left turn in her direction. Raine saw Tyrone as soon as she entered the door.

He immediately removed Raine's lab coat and face mask, including the ponytail on her hair in one quick motion and put it in the trash bin there.

They heared footsteps approaching. Tyrone pulled Raine and pinned her to the wall.

"What the!?" 

Before Raine could continue her words, Tyrone quickly crushed her lips with his when the exit door swung open.

Tyrone stopped and turned to meet the military officer, who embarrassingly murmured, "I'm sorry…" but annoyingly uttered, "You two should get a room! This is a hospital!"

Tyrone only scratched his head as he gave the military officer an awkward smile as he apologized. The military officer closed the door, and as Tyrone was about to pull Raine and leave, she moved and pinned him on the wall instead.

There was a mischievous smile on her face when she whispered, "The suspects are leaving right now… So we need to stay and do more of this."

Tyrone parted his lips, and Raine took the opportunity for another passionate and aggressive kiss. Not long after, the door swung open again.

Raine and Tyrone could hear the cursing, but neither of them stopped kissing. Not until the door closed again.

There was a cough from another line as Mia said, "It's safe to come out from the exit of the first floor. You guys should head to the ER or clinic first for a few minutes, then continue where you left off… if you wa.."

She stopped when Levi elbowed her, giving her his sharp stare…
