CINDERELLA AND THE BAD BOYS - CHAPTER 99&100
He was holding same screw driver, raised her up with a hand. He caused her to twirl and raised his other hand which was tightened around the screw driver with the aim of stabbing her.
Fiona was scared to death.. Theo was trying to get the bodyguard off him in order to go save her but he was too late.. The bodyguard directed the screw driver straight into her eyes.
Fortunately for her, a rope crossed his neck, pulling him back and the screw driver stabbed the air instead.
“Son of a ?îtçh.” Jaxton muttered, yanking the rope which pulled him to the floor.
Theo pushed the exhausted bodyguard away
With their hands partially freed, the group stealthily moved through the dimly lit warehouse, navigating stacks of crates and avoiding the watchful eyes of the bodyguards. Every creaking floorboard and echoing footstep heightened the tension as they sought an escape route.
Fiona took the lead, moving with calculated precision. She motioned for the others to follow as they weaved through the maze-like structure. The scarred man, still preoccupied with the earlier disturbance, remained unaware of their covert operation.
As they approached a corridor leading towards the exit, Theo whispered, “Stay close and move quietly. We can’t afford to get caught.”
The group moved like shadows, using every available cover to avoid detection. However, the tight quarters made it challenging to maintain complete silence.
Cyrus, peering around a corner, signaled the others to stop. Two bodyguards stood posted near a door, their attention focused elsewhere. Fiona, ever resourceful, gestured towards a nearby crate.
“We need to create another distraction,” she whispered. “Cyrus, can you find something to make noise without attracting too much attention?”
Cyrus nodded, silently disappearing into the shadows. He returned with a handful of loose nuts and bolts, perfect for causing a commotion without revealing their location.
With a careful aim, Cyrus tossed the metal pieces to a distant corner. The clattering sound diverted the attention of the nearby guards, allowing the group to slip past unnoticed.
The journey through the warehouse became a delicate dance of evasion. Each member of the group contributed to the distraction efforts, strategically diverting the guards’ attention to different areas.
They reached a junction where multiple paths diverged. Fiona, scanning the surroundings, noticed a door marked “Emergency Exit.” A glimmer of hope flickered in her eyes as she gestured towards it.
“That’s our way out,” she whispered. “But we have to get past those guards first.”
The group approached the exit, careful not to alert the guards stationed nearby. With a shared nod, they prepared for their most challenging maneuver yet.
As they neared the guards, Fiona signaled Theo and Cole to take the lead. With synchronized precision, they lunged forward, knocking the guards off balance. Sharon swiftly disabled a nearby security camera, ensuring their actions went unnoticed.
Despite the guards’ struggles, the group managed to overpower them with a combination of stealth and well-coordinated strikes. The scarred man, still occupied with the chaos caused by their diversion, remained oblivious to the uprising within his own ranks.
The emergency exit swung open, revealing a dimly lit alley outside. The group cautiously stepped into the night, only to find themselves surrounded by a relentless horde of bodyguards. Seven of them, all holding makeshift weapon.
“It’s a dead end..” Fiona cried out.
“I told you it’s a bad idea.” Cole whispered while Theo stood still, observing the situation.
Without warning, the bodyguards lunged at Theo, their attacks relentless and coordinated. Theo, fueled by a mixture of adrenaline and the desire to protect his comrades, met the onslaught head-on.
The first bodyguard swung a metal pipe at Theo, aiming for a swift strike to incapacitate him. Theo, however, deftly sidestepped the attack, countering with a powerful kick that sent the assailant staggering backward.
Another lunged at him, aiming a powerful punch at his face. Theo, however, responded with a swift dodge, narrowly avoiding the blow.
He grabbed the Bodyguard by the shoulder and pulled him to the floor. Another bodyguard charged, fists clenched and muscles taut. Theo, his senses heightened by adrenaline, anticipated the attack and countered with a swift block, deflecting the blow with practiced precision. With a powerful retaliatory strike, Theo unleashed a flurry of punches, each one landing with calculated force.
Theo’s companions, though outnumbered, fought valiantly at his side. Fiona, Cole, Cyrus, Sharon, and Jaxton each held their ground, their determination unyielding in the face of overwhelming odds.
The Scarred man staggered into the scene with a gun on his hand, he was observing the whole situation. A metal pipe was made for Fiona but Theo swiftly used a hand to block it which made him vulnerable to the bodyguard he was brawling.
Before he could move, a swift punch landed on his side, followed by a barrage of kicks which plunged him to the floor. He made to get up at that instant but he was instantly shot by the Scarred man.
“Aargh!” He groaned out in pain as the hot metal pierced into his left leg.
“Theo.. Are you okay?” Fiona rushed to him but the bodyguard wiped her back with the metal pipe and as he struggled to get up, she crashed on him which plunged him back to the floor.
“I must commend.. You’re really good but all the same.. It’s your dead end.” He said and aimed the gun straight at Theo’s forehead. Theo struggled to get Fiona off him but a Bodyguard match that his leg. The very spot he was shot and he can’t help but groan in pain.
Just as the Scarred man placed his hand on the trigger, ready to deliver a potentially devastating shot, a sudden gunshot pierced the air. The Scarred man staggered, a look of disbelief on his face, as he crumpled to the ground.
The bodyguards looked around, trying to access the situation. In a split of seconds, two dropped down instantly.
Jaxton and Cole rushed to help Fiona and Theo while Cyrus and Sharon looked around, trying to figure out who was responsible for the shot.
A mysterious figure emerged from the shadows, clad in black with a sleek firearm in hand.
The remaining three bodyguards eyes widened as they saw who it was. One aim for the gun on the floor but Cyrus was quick to pick it. He turned to Cyrus and grabbed the gun but he was shot in the back which plunged him to the floor. Before the remaining two could move, the mysterious figure caused them to kiss the dust.
Theo, though in pain reached for the gun by his side and aimed at the mysterious figure who was no other than Cinderella. The friends were surprised. Why would Theo want to ki|| Cinderella?
She just stood there without making any move as he placed his hand on the trigger. Cinderella recalled the fact that Theo told her not to come out of the room. Maybe, he’s angry at her or something.
Before she could ponder about what next, he pulled the trigger and the bullet tore into the air heading directly to her while she stood there with no intention to move.
The story continues…
