Chapter 57: Chapter 57

Xavier's POV.

"This is how the evil ends...so many years, you had rendered lives into nothing, there was no atom of pity, I regret ever being called your daughter!" Sophia spat with a look of disgust.

Her words did well into sending more anger in me,

Now I understand fully how they were able to defeat me, it was my ignorance of Fred existence, I had never thought of Fred so they were able to catch me off guard...

Sitting on the ground in pain, I couldn't look up at their faces, just some minutes ago, I was glad gloating of winning, who would believe that I would end up helpless under their mercy.

My heartbeat increased as horror filled me to the brim.

The sound of the siren is getting louder, they are coming...

I looked around with sweat all over my face, Fred and Jace were still pointing their gun at me.

There was no way I can escape without being shot...

Staying here is also deadly.

The torture from those special agents would make me feel like dying...

I couldn't even feel the pain from the wound again, my heart was just too heavy.

Is this the final??

Does it means I achieved nothing after all the sacrifice??

After all the lives taken??

No, this can't be happening!!..

I glanced at my side and saw my pistol lying an inch from me.

I glanced at Kip and he was giving me a little sign.

I watched him closely and understood his message.

He wants to give his life for my safety.

He had once told me he would do that any day it's necessary because I saved him from a group of assassins that was sent to eliminate him years ago...

I shut my eyes and took a deep breath bracing myself up...

Fred was ready for any movement, he is the only one who understood the tactics of escaping, that was why he won't relent till the agents arrive...

I sat there silently waiting for a chance...

It was like heaven was on my side a little,

Sophia caused a distraction to Fred with a loud shrill of pain...

"Fred!!!!... i got a cramp!" She cried out holding her belly tightly...

"Sophia!" He called out with the other giving me a slight chance.

With the speed of lightning, I ran over the fence.

Just four steps forward, Jace fired two shots at me but it hit Kip instead...

He had shielded me with his body...

Fred quickly made a swift movement and fired at me thrice, Kip also jumped over to the bullet with his last strength...

He was able to take two bullets, one went into my back deeply sending a rush of pain over my body but I dare not stop my pace, I dare not let the pains weaken me or I would die...

I was able to fly over the fence panting heavily as I ran over to the major road.

I glanced back and saw Fred and Bryan running after me with guns.

Bryan shot a bullet that flew over my arm.

I was not fast enough, the wounds are too painful, I was able to stay a little strong and run because I had got well trained in the past.

It was few metres to reached the major road, I would need a car to escape, I wasn't sure of finding any before they reaches me...

Kip must have died saving me, he had taken those bullets to keep me alive.

I need to avenge him, I need to stay alive and fight his killer but right now I don't think I would succeed...

Another bullet went into my back making me fall to the ground with a deep groan, my sight was even getting blurred.

I force myself up with the blood rolling all over.

My breaths were harder, life was seeping out of me as I made more steps forward...

Bryan and Fred were still coming closer, I tried standing but just couldn't, I couldn't even move a muscle...

Maybe I was fated not to survive this, maybe I had to be ended today...

All these years of planning and creating teams just to accomplish my dream was nothing...

I had even killed many souls, how would I know nothing would be achieved, I would end up being at the mercy of the law...

I could hear the slight sound of their step, Fred and Bryan are coming nearer. I had no gun, my whole body is weak.

Slowly, I closed my eyes waiting for the worst but just then, a headlight shone right on my face...

Someone ran out of the car and dragged me in...

I couldn't see the face well, my vision wasn't clear...

All I knew was that the person took me into the car and zoomed off...

Bryan's POV.

I and Fred fired shots at the car but still couldn't stop it...

"He escaped????" I gritted with rage as I shot more bullets at the car which was bulletproofed.

we were already so close to him, it was just some steps more, the car came unexpectedly, we could have even stopped it if it wasn't protected.

Who was that man that saved him???

"Bryan why is the agents yet to arrive??..what caused their delay!!!" Fred huffed in frustration.

"Oh, yeah!!!..they should have arrived a very long time ago!!.." I snapped and picked up my phone to call them again but stopped when one of their cars drove to us and halted...

"What happened???" I growled as one of them stepped out.

"There was a huge traffic on the road, someone must have caused it to delay our arrival, we tried to pass through it but even on foot, we couldn't pass through..." He sighed and I glanced at Fred who brought outs the device immediately.

He clicked some button and a video appeared on the screen.

"We acted impulsively without thinking of any external force...someone of higher power caused the blockage of the road.." He said while we stared at him.

"Three trucks fell and obstructed the whole road, the drivers of that trucks can't even be found.." He added and sighed as he walked a little forward.

"But...all Xavier's men were killed in the battle!" I and Stan the NSA agent head said in chorus.

"Yeah, they were killed but...their head wasn't among them, his name is stallion.." He explained leaving us confused.

"How then can he cause such a jam?" I asked but got no reply from Fred who looked tensed immediately.

"Let's go back, we would talk on this later, just issue a WANTED file, anyone who finds Xavier would be given a very huge ransom.." He sighed and hopped into the car.

Stan glanced at me with a such before we both joined him in the car...

**********

"Bryan!!" Rose squeaked my name as I stepped out of the car...

She ran to me with a tight hug that forced out a smile from my lips.

"Why did you leave me in tension, I thought Xavier hurt you.." She purred and fondled my cheek.

"Hurt me??..how??..he is badly injured!" I said and she shook her head.

"That man is a devil, you stayed for long and I was already having silly thoughts. I can't bear losing you!" She whined and rested her head on my shoulder...

"Bryan!..where is Fred??" Sophia asked abruptly with her eyes brow raised.

"Fred...I'm sorry he...."

"What!!!..he what?????.." She exclaimed blinking her eyes continuously with tears.

"Calm down, he died saving me from Xavier!" I chuckled and she quickly grabbed my collar in shock.

"You are joking right??..stop the prank!!.. I'm being serious!!" She squealed, everyone stared at me in total shock.

"Fred can never die!!" Rose shook her head.

"Bryan how could????" Clara spoke out for the first time.

"Where is he now???" Sophia asked and I smiled before shrugging.

"His dead body is in the car.." I said and she ran to the car with speed...

Just as she made to open the door, Fred walked out with a huge smile on his face.

Fred's POV.

"Fred!!" She screamed out my name happily before hugging the hell out of me...

"I know you can never die!!.." She mumbled and kissed my cheek.

"Bryan was able to trick you...because of you, I can't die now..." I said with a lopsided smile before facing the others.

"We lost Xavier...he was able to escape because someone came to his rescue.." I explained and I could see the little sadness on their faces.

"Who would save him, I thought his men were all eliminated??" Jace said thoughtfully.

"We should be going home, I'm sure we must be exhausted especially Sophia, I can't let her stress herself.." I smirked and she rolled her eyes.

"But won't Xavier attack??" Clara asked and I chuckled.

"Attack with what??..he is like a dog now, his injury would take many months to heal, it would take years to gather another man, he is declares wanted all around the country, he had already being known as a terrorist...do you think he can ever show his face?" I explained making them sigh in relief...

Bright smiles filled their faces especially that of Sophia.

"Fred, you are very unique, so intelligent and smart!..do I worth you?" Sophia muttered leaving my mouth agape...

"Please don't mention!..have you forgotten who you are?.. I'm the one who doesn't..."

'Shh..." She hushed and with her finger.

"Thanks for coming into my life, you have protected me as you promised, stop seeing me like a celebrity or idol, I'm all that to the world, but for you...I'm a subjected girlfriend, my love for you is so much, I would do anything for you!" She cooed.

"Thank you so much.." I muttered in great joy as I grinned from ear to ear...

"Let's all go and enjoy our best moment, no one to fear again!" I screamed happily making them squeal too as they carried their girlfriend into the arm leading them to the car...

I watched with smiles...

"Won't you carry me into your arm too??" Sophia whined with a baby face making me laugh.

"You don't know how my heart is beating now, it is trending everywhere, my face is everywhere...my social handles have already been flooded by fans all because I'm your boyfriend..let's go home for now.." I chirped and held her soft palm as we head to the car.

I was happy that there would be peace for a while but...it won't last forever, Xavier would surely come back to fight, my fear isn't Xavier but the man behind his escape today...

The governor...

The governor planned it all, he was the mastermind behind the traffic jam, he was also the one who sent that man to rescue Xavier...

After finding out through the communication system which I hacked, I was tensed but decided to hide it from them.

I would be telling only Bryan soon.

Everything would have been hidden from me too if I had no access to Xavier's main base system...

I used my device to connect to his server, that was when I saw Stallion his only surviving men put a call to the governor informing him of the trouble Xavier was into...

I had listened to their conversation and found out that the governor helped Xavier to escape...

My fear is Xavier having the governor by his side, would we have a chance of winning him the second time???

"Fred!!" Sophia called drawing my attention back to reality.

"What have you been thinking??" She asked staring at me.

"Nothing...just thinking about the future.." I mumbled and smiled.

"Are you afraid Xavier would attack again?" She asked and I smiled squeezing her palm.

"It doesn't matter if he would attack or not, all I know is that Xavier would never hurt my loved ones again..." I stated with a smile before zooming off.
