Chapter 537 - Five Hundred And Thirty-Eight: The Assassination (2/2)
Maggie shook her head, ”I don't feel safe,” Was all she said. Her heart was palpitating with fear and she was nervous. Maybe she was just being overall paranoid.
The military personnel laughed at her fears, ”What do you mean you don't feel safe? Is there any where safer than -”
The man didn't get to finish what he was saying because a great impact rocked their van. All Maggie felt was a sensation of flying as their car rolled several times and came to a complete halt.
The car came to rest on its roof hence they laid upside down. Maggie slipped in and out of consciousness until she shook the dizziness out of her head. She inevitably heard the sound of gunshots as the police car behind them tried to battle their attackers. She knew it, something wasn't right; the dream was a premonition.
With difficulty and a groan of pain, Maggie turned around to see the military personnel were in the same condition as her. However, she couldn't tell if they were dead or alive since their eyes were both shut. Looking around, she was the only one awake.
It was obvious that the both men beside her had absorbed most of the shock hence the reason she was conscious; their protection had come as a blessing in disguise.The sound of gunshot got closer and nearer, Maggie had to get out of the car.
The attack was on her and the perpetrators of the crime would surely come to check if they had finished the job - her. If that wasn't the case, Maggie was sure she would receive a shot to the head; she had to escape.
Maggie winced with just a move. Even with the cushion - the both soldiers - she was hit badly. She finally moved, but the problem was both soldiers blocked her path. Not to mention that they become double their weight now they are unconscious.
With her weakened states, Maggie pushed at the one closest to the door. However, his leg was stuck in between the seat and Maggie could barely move with the small space.
Suddenly, Maggie heard footsteps and her pushing became frantic. She had to escape, she could not survive the accident only to be murdered. She would not be killed because of that bastard Fernandez!
But it was too late, the crunching of glass under feet told Maggie that her attacker was right outside their car and though she could not see him, knew he was bending to peer at her.
She squeezed her eyes, unwilling to watch her death. Maggie heard the moment the man beside her - the soldier she had been trying to push all this while - was pulled out through one of the shattered windows effortlessly.
Expecting a bullet to pierce her head without a second thought, all Maggie heard was,
”Come on, we have to leave now!”
