A Few minutes earlier, Xi and her partner came charging toward Ella. In their mind, they felt they had Ella trapped as she was also running toward them.
“What a beautiful brainless b**ch,” Xi thought to herself as she brought out her tranquilizer gun, to take Ella out. She was about to say something to her partner when she saw her flying backward, with a ruptured skull.
“F**k!” Xi slowly turned toward the direction, where the gunshot came from, and to her astonishment, their target, Ella, was already aiming for her head with a deadly twinkle in her eyes.
“Shit! No...” Xi’s words were taken right out of her when another gunshot to the head also forcefully sent her backward.
Screams of panic and dread filled the air as everyone hanging and chatting around took cover, running helter-skelter.
Ella quickly ran into the cinema hall panting like someone who had just completed a marathon. Her right hand which was holding her gun was safely tucked inside her handbag, in other not to cause any more commotion.
???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????
Even though Ella had just shot two ladies who were about to shoot her with a weird-looking gun, her whole body was trembling in fear. It felt as though she would pass out any second from her unsystematically drumming heart and throbbing head. She quickly scanned the cinema hall, which was filled with lots of people having a good time and enjoying an interesting movie. Then she saw a good hiding spot and quickly ran to the place and hid.
While Ella was hiding, she quickly brought out her phone and dialed Leon’s number.
Scorpion and two other of his team men ran down to the location where Xi had told him Ella was last spotted. However, the sight he met made his stomach curl, and his bulging eyes almost popped out.
.....
“What the f**k is going on here?” Scorpion queried between gritted teeth. “Does she have someone protecting her? I thought you told me her two remaining bodyguards have been taken care of?”
“I personally killed them,” one of Scorpion’s teammates responded with a horrific look in his eyes. Beside Xi’s body was the dead body of his girlfriend; who was Xi’s partner.
“If you killed them like you claimed, then who is taking our teammates out?” Scorpion glowered at his grieving partner.
“I have no idea!” Scorpion’s teammate barked in response. His eyes were lit with a deadly fiery sparkle that could touch a whole building. “Whoever that person is that killed my Sonia like this...” He knelt beside his girlfriend’s corpse, quavering in agony, He gently took her right hand and kissed it, with tears flowing down his cheek, “...I’m going to peel the skin away from his body.”
“Let’s go!” Scorpion boomed in annoyance and frustration. “There is no time! You can mourn later! We have less than ten minutes to get the girl and get out of here before this place is surrounded by the cops.”
Scorpion quickly scanned the area before dishing out his orders like a warrior Lord.
“You, go to the left and you, go to the right! I’ll check inside the cinema hall. Anyone who sights her first should call for backup.”
All three men briskly swung into action.
When Scorpion entered the cinema hall, he walked up to an attendant, who was deeply engrossed in the movie on the large screen.
“Please, I’m looking for a red hair lady,” Scorpion spoke in a calm and pleading voice. “She flirted with me and made away with my wallet and I am currently stranded. I have no idea if she came in here.”
“Sure, she did!” The cinema hall attendant quickly responded. He was eager to lose the hefty-looking man so that he could focus on the movie he was watching. “I think she is hiding over there.”
“Oh, thank you!” Scorpion tried to fake a smile. “You are a lifesaver.” He quickly walked away from the attendant and called his team members to converge at the cinema hall.
As Scorpion moved closer to where Ella was hiding, he noticed that she was talking on the phone with someone.
“Shit!” Scorpion charged toward her, while two of his team members joined him.
Suddenly his eyes caught sight of a golden gun in Ella’s hand.
“F**k! She has a gun! Take cover!” Scorpion was quick to dive away from Ella’s first deadly shot. However, her second shot caught him on the thigh and the third and final shot caught one of Scorpion’s partners in the shoulder.
“Shit! The b**ch shot me!” One of Scorpion’s partners cried out.
At that very instance, the cinema hall was thrown into a state of chaos. People were running helter-skelter, screaming, shouting, and taking cover.
Ella also joined in the rat race and tried to run to safety.
Unfortunately for Ella, a hefty and gruffly-looking assassin, who had a personal vendetta against her, swiftly dived in her direction. He caught her by the waist and tried to pin her down.
However, Ella wasn’t ready to go down easily. She quickly activated all her martial art training and tried to set herself free. She fought bravely but all her training was no match for her heavily built captor. Every punch she threw at him was like punching a rock.
“B**ch!” Her captor finally released her when she struck him between his thigh and gave her a deadly blow to the head.
Instantly, Ella lost consciousness.
“Moron! You are not supposed to touch her!” Scorpion barked while he quickly smashed Ella’s phone. “The boss is going to have your ass for this.”
“The b**ch kicked my winky!” Scorpion’s partner protested as he crouched, massaging his hurting balls. He felt like jumping on top of the unconscious lady on the floor and pulling out all her limbs. Due to the way she had swiftly charged at them, he didn’t need a soothsayer to tell him that she was responsible for the death of his girlfriend.
“Your winky!” Scorpion’s eyes flashed terror. “Just pray that the boss does not castrate you, fool! Let’s get the hell out of here. I can hear blaring sirens.”
Scorpion was just turning to walk over to Ella’s unconscious body when an ear-deafening automatic machine gun ruptured in the air.
