Chapter 139

139 Adrenaline Rush.

While Nora was busy keeping Ella engaged, her fake husband was doing the same to her bodyguard. He purposely bumped into the bodyguard, pretending to be in a hurry to assist his pregnant.

“Oh, I’m sorry!” Nora’s husband said pleadingly. ” I must be a blind bat to have bumped into you that way.” He slowly but craftily squatted, pretending to pick up the scattered boxes from the floor, some of which contained different deadly weapons.

Ella’s bodyguard stared in her direction and discovered that she was busy conversing with the pregnant lady. So he briskly stooped low to assist with picking up the scattered boxes.

Immediately Ella’s bodyguard squatted, three muffled sounds came out from one of the boxes Nora’s husband was holding. He stared into Nora’s husband’s eyes in horror as he finally realized the couple were both assassins. He slowly gazed down at his chest due to the heart-wrenching pain emanating from there and then he saw three bloodied bullet wounds; with blood oozing out at high intensity. When he tried to make a sound, a rough hand cupped his mouth and nose, thereby depriving him of oxygen. With his dying breath, he weakly activated a small device in his hands and a danger alert was sent to all the phones tied to the beeping device.

Ella felt her internal security system beeping a warning signal. Her palm became sweaty and a cold wave washed down her spine. Thanks to her pregnancy hormones, her highly sensitive olfactory lobes picked up a strong repulsive feminine cologne, which was coming from behind her. The lavender cologne felt as though it was soaked in a pungent chemical. This made her feel nauseous but she tried to stifle it. So she decided to distract Nora in other to see who it was.

“I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have said that,” Ella forced a brief smile and pretended to be picking something from the shelf. The strong cologne coming from behind her appeared to be concentrated by the second and almost choking her.

So Ella pretentiously pushed down some products from the shelf. “Oops!” She said out loud and quickly squatted to pick the product up.

Immediately Ella squatted, the lady leaning towards her from behind and holding a white folded handkerchief, lost her balance. Thanks to an adrenaline rush, Ella swiftly move away, while the lady collided with Nora and both of them fell.

At that very moment, Ella heard a beeping sound coming from inside her handbag. This was her first time, hearing the sound since Leon installed it on her phone. This sound meant only one thing; she was in danger.

While the two ladies were trying to get back to their feet, Ella dash over to the other section in other to signal her bodyguard that it was time to move. However, the sight she was met with horrified her. Nora’s husband was squatting over her bodyguard’s limp body and Ella could see a pull of blood on the floor.

“What the f**k!” Nora’s husband cursed out loud and scrambled to his feet.

“Shit!” Ella also cursed out loud and took to her heels.

“Dragon team, she is on the move. Get her before she draws attention to herself. The boss wants her alive. Hence, no one is permitted to shoot her.”

Scorpion, who happened to be the leader of the team and Nora’s fake husband screamed into his wireless Bluetooth earpiece while he went after Ella.

“Affirmative!” Several voices responded to Scorpion.

In all, twelve of Scorpion’s dragon team; made up of four females and eight males were sent down to Amzone city, to get Ella. They were all scattered inside the mall and due to their perfect disguises, it was difficult to differentiate them from the mall’s genuine customers.

Ella ran towards the section of the mall that was filled with lots of customers, with her eyes darting from side to side. So far, she had identified three of her assailant and she was certain that they were more people in pursuit of her.

She quickly squatted in the crowd of shopping and happily chatting customers and brought out her golden gun. She masked her gun with her handkerchief in other not to draw attention to herself. Then, she swiftly crawled on her knees like some searching for a lost key.

All her training on self-defense and arm usage quickly kicked in as she smartly scanned her environment for apprehensive movement.

“1, 2...5,” Ella counted five pairs of legs moving in a half-hazard manner. She aimed for the person closest to her, who was speaking in a comprehensive tone.

“Does anyone have eyes on the target?”

“No!”

“Not yet!”

“I’ll check the West wing!’

“The exit points are well guarded. She has nowhere to run to.”

Multiple voices responded to the first question.

BANG!

BANG!!

Ella released two deadly shots at close range: one shot hit a male assassin on his right knee cap and when he fell wincing in pain, another bullet hit him in the forehead.

Immediately the shots were fired, cries of panic and fright filled the air. People started running helter-skelter while the internal security in the mall swung into action, in search of the shooter.

Ella joined in the frenzy and ran towards the cinema section, with eyes widely alert. While she was running, she noticed two ladies running towards her with deadly looks in their eyes.

Ella quickly recognized one of the ladies as Nora. However, she was amazed that Nora was no longer pregnant. Her tummy was as flat as that of a hungry lizard.

Ella also knew that running in a counter direction to the ladies meant impending doom for her; as she could tell that more assailants were coming from behind her. This was because she could see the ladies talking and a pair of Bluetooth earpiece devices were attached to their ears.

So Ella decided to run towards danger with a deadly glint in her eyes.

“Guys, we finally have her cornered!” Nora, whose code name was Xi, said in a triumphant tone. “The pretty dove is running toward us right now.”

“Take her down, Xi. Use the tranquilizer dart now!.” Scorpion boomed.

BANG!

BANG!!
