Chapter 34
They soon left the building, after they had drawn up fhr agreement and what needed to be done. Brian was particularly happy about this deal because it would fetch them a lot of money.
"Jack, call the boys at the port. Tell them to prepare the submarine", Brian ordered.
"On it boss".
"Killian, call our guys in Germany and order for fifty thousand extra ammos. By my calculations, we're fifty short of a hundred", Brian said.
Killian nodded as he began tapping his phone, sending off a series of messages to their contact. Just then, a low whistle blew past them and soon, an area they had just passed erupted in flames.
"Get down... Down", Jack screamed.
Brian drew out his gun as he desperately tried to control the vehicle which was proving difficult. Killian fired a series of shots outside, ducking as hails of bullets rained down on the car.
"What's happening?", Brian screamed.
"No idea boss" Jack said.
The bullets continued to rain down on the vehicle as Brian tried all within his means to avoid them.
"It's Wilfred's boys", Killian said.
"Leader of the demon pack. What's his problem", Brian growled.
"I have no idea but it seems to me that this is a reprisal attack. They're fighting on the offensive", Jack said.
Brian put the car to a stop right at the middle of the road. The bullets continued to rain down but they were covered as the car was a bullet proof one.
"Stay calm, no sudden movement", Brian whispered.
They could see clearly through the car as the attackers advanced towards the car, they're guns drawn. Brian needed to shift and the only way he could do that was with enough open space not inside the cramped car.
"We need to shift, that's the only way we can take them down", Jack said.
"The three of us in our Wolf form would be able to take them down", Killian said.
"Okay guys, here's the plan. As soon as they open the door to attack, we pounce on them. We take them by surprise because now they think we're probably dead", Brian said.
The others agreed as they waited patiently for the intruders to get closer. They were almost by the car when they stopped suddenly. Soon, they began retreating.
"What's going on?", Brian asked.
"I don't know but it seems like they got orders to retreat", Jack said.
"For whatever reason it is, I'm thankful. I wasn't ready to shed blood this early", Brian said.
When all the intruders had gone, Brian drove straight to the club. When they got there, Brian handed the vehicle to someone who could repair the body parts since it was in dire need of repair.
"We need to find out who attacked us?", Brian said.
"We'll do that later but first, we need to find out what's wrong with your mate", Killian said.
He was on his phone, tapping rapidly. There was a look of confusion on his face over the message he got.
"What's wrong?", Brian said.
"I got a strange text that she's been kidnapped", he said.
Brian stilled, it seemed as if all of his life had come to a stand still. He couldn't understand what Jack was saying.
"Brian have you called her this morning?", Jack asked.
Brian discovered that he didn't. Immediately he woke up, they had prepared for the meeting with the army chief.
"No", he said.
There was fear in his eyes now and the only reason he was still standing was due to the thoughts that was going through his mind.
"Calm down Brian, I'm sure she's fine. This could just be a fake message", Jack said.
"Put her on the line", Brian snapped.
Killian dialled her number as they waited with baited breaths for her to pick up the phone. The phone went to voicemail and Killian dialled it again.
"Hello", Serah said.
Brian slumped on the couch, breathing in a sigh of relief. He had never felt so relieved in his life upon hearing his mate's voice.
"Baby, it's me. Are you okay?", Brian asked.
"Yes, why wouldn't I be", she chuckled.
Apparently, she had forgotten all about their little spat and Brian was glad that they were back to being who they were before.
Jack and Killian left the room to give him some privacy. Brian gripped the phone tightly, fearing that if he didn't, she would disappear.
"I just got a strange message that you were kidnapped".
"Why would someone do that. But on the other hand, there were suspicious movements of some men earlier but the guards at the gate sent them back", she said.
"Darling, I need you to do something for me real quick", Brian said.
"What", Serah said.
Brian could tell now that she was scared. He was scared too since he saw the message and her reports about suspicious movements around his property.
"Please leave the house and go straight to the palace. You'll be much safer there since my father has some added security", Brian said.
"But-".
"For once in your life Serah, just do as I say", Brian snapped.
He was tired of her stubborn behavior and for once, he just needed her to do as he said. He couldn't have her getting hurt or worse kidnapped.
"Okay, I'll leave now", she said.
"Let Carlos drive you, he's the only one I trust", Brian ordered.
"Okay. But where are you, I miss you", she sighed.
"I'll be home before you know it baby", he said.
That was a promise he fully intended to keep. All he needed from her was to stay safe. Nothing more, nothing less.
