Chapter 201 - Never Forget (1/2)
The instant Olivia dropped the bomb, everyone in the room was on high alert. The atmosphere in the room turned dark and heavy as each person's demeanor shifted into combat mode.
”I have to bring Olivia upstairs first. Do what you have to do,” Maxen said and clamped a hand over Wyatt's shoulders. His top priority was his wife's safety and given that there are capable people present in the room, he could leave it up to them to catch Lance Go's accomplices.
Wyatt was in-command as he barked one order after another to diffuse the crisis at hand. After putting a plan in place, people filed out of the decoy apartment, leaving Yana and Shadow to stand guard over Lance Go.
”Are you sure he won't die?” Yana asked, studying Lance Go who was groaning with his eyes closed.
”Nope. He's lucky I found him just in time. Doctor's coming in a few minutes and will stitch him up. The drugs I gave him should work for the meantime.”
”Didn't know President has a good aim. I mean, she does have a talent for flinging those vases before, but the accuracy of shooting him in the groin takes precision.” Yana shivered when her eyes landed on the blood-stained towel covering Lane Go from his abdomen down to his knees.
”It's not a surprise though. I've been with her for almost a decade and from what I've seen from her, whatever President sets her mind on, she would achieve it no matter what. Shooting this sc.u.m where it needed to be rendered him weak. If President aimed on his arm or c.h.e.s.t, chances of him fighting back is high.”
”Oooh that makes sense. But why didn't you teach her how to shoot then so she could have a better aim? Maybe she'll go for the head instead of the manly parts. Poor guy.”
”Firstly, don't pity this sc.u.mbag. He deserved that gunshot or he even deserves worse. Lastly, if I thought President how to shoot, then I won't have a job,” Shadow replied, rolling her eyes.
”Ooooh, you're right. Wait, where are you going? Why are you leaving me?”
”I'll scan the perimeter one more time. I'll be back in a jiffy.”
”Wait, I'll go with—you.” Yana's voice died down as Shadow disappeared in the hallway. She glanced at Lance and saw him sleeping. The thought of sharing a space with a criminal scared her that she decided to wait for Shadow by the threshold.
She thought that the drugs Shadow administered to Lance Go earlier wouldn't wear off immediately and he'll be passed out for hours.
Yana then stepped outside, standing behind the door. She was taking a breather, reading a story in her app when she heard footsteps rushing towards her way.
Her survival instincts kicked in, and her senses heightened. She took a stance, hiding in a blind spot, and immediately c.o.c.ked a gun on the passing shadow.
”Don't move or I'll blow your brains out,” she warned with a sinister tone in each of her words. Her voice was far from the meek and innocent young lass that Olivia's team knew, and the man in question knew it too.
Yana pressed the muzzle at the back of his head. He raised both of his hands in surrender.
”Put your hands behind your back,” she ordered, and the man followed without qualms. She quickly frisked her back pocket to grab a cable tie she grabbed earlier in the pantry during the commotion and tied his hands with it.
