194 The Love of his Life
Present
"Kill him for me." He mutter. He gave her a gun. Francisco taught her how to hold it—and just for an act she acted like it was her first time holding it. She check the bullets and pointed it to Brandy. He look up at her."This man was hired to be the janitor in our building... but I found out that he's EPUA's Special Agent. It is bad for business so we have to finish him. I want you to finish him."
Veronica look around here. There are at least twenty men and she could kill them but another would be added if she didn't choose to leave. They will be surrounded. Then Veronica's beeper beeps three times indicating that the backup is already there. A loud explosion echoes outside and Veronica started firing.
She runs as she click the button to free Brandy. Brandy grin as he started fighting with his bare hands, twisting their arm as he took their gun and starts firing other people. Francisco was too surprise that he couldn't move watching Veronica expertly twist his people's neck.
Her eyes are murderous like Guinevere's before he killed her. She pointed the gun to him and shoot him on his both thighs. She was careful not to shoot the important vitals. The door opens as Sylvia came up. She grit her teeth seeing Veronica. Veronica smirk as she fire the security access for it to be useless.
"You!" Sylvia growls as she glance at Francisco. Instead of helping him, she run to Veronica. Veronica didn't move from where she stood. Sylvia's fist was an inch away from Veronica's face but she dodge it and Veronica punch her directly to the opponent's stomach.
Veronica twisted Sylvia's arm. Sylvia restrain quickly but Veronica uses a tai-chi on her neck that makes the opponent lose consciousness.
Another came and she run to him as she jump and wrapped her thighs around the neck and put him down. Brandy put down the last man and saw Francisco crawling toward the alarm.
"V, can I kick this man?" Brandy asked.
"Go ahead." Brandy kick Francisco in the head and he looses his consciousness.
Veronica pull out the tranquilizer and injected it on him carelessly. Then she grab something to wrap up his wounds. Brandy help her up as the door exploded and EPUA backup came. Veronica pointed to Sylvia as they took her.
Then her phone vibrates. Red alert. She doesn't have time.
"You go back to EPUA, I am going to Catriona."
"Roger that." Brandy nods."Don't get killed." He already knows what is happening.
Veronica call her grandfather. In few rings he answer it.
"Sweetheart, how are you?" Calvin asked.
"Did you perhaps accepted a client?"
"Yes. I did..." Calvin was surprise."We had talked over the phone."
"Who are they going to assassinate?"
"Uh, Vanessa how do you?"
"Are they going to assassinate a woman? Catriona? Grandpa, I need you to retreat your men."
"I can't do that. They are already on their way." Calvin said in a rush."What do you know? Sweetheart, what's happening?"
Veronica exhales.
"I'm sorry grandpa. I have to save my sister and I have to kill your men." She hang up and catch another chopper. She was surprise that it was Enzo's order.
???
After Enzo receive that call from Sabrina. He didn't think twice of leaving the mansion unarmed and contact EPUA about the chopper. He drove his motorbike fast like he was in a race and soon, EPUA's helicopter was with him.
"Centaur, we are above you. Lily is here."
"Good." He said as he left his motorbike somewhere on the road. He reach the key and then took the ladder that they throw on him. they start pulling him as they fly low. Veronica reach him and he was in adrenaline rush and couldn't hold himself.
Catriona's location was beeping in red and he used EPUA's satellite to see live around the house. It was ambushed but lots of men keep coming. Gabriel's men. The assassins are high class and he knew that it was from Ivanov's. Enzo glance at Veronica.
"Someone want to kill Cat." Veronica said."Alanis turn them down and now—they had to hire Ivanov's assassins." She explain shortly.
"I need a gun."
It didn't take long for them to reach it and he almost jump out from the helicopter. He had bullet vest on with a gun in his hand. He saw traces of dead bodies and pool of blood on the way. He stop when there are dogs showing their fangs growling at him.
He turn to the left to find a beautiful woman—fat woman— who has a swollen stomach. She was pointing a gun on him though she isn't looking on his way. He hands up yet she didn't look on his way again.
"Cat..." He said. She has blood on her face and on her clothes."Cat!" He run to her and kneel in front of her. Catriona put down her gun and reach his face trying to find where it is. He took it and put it on his cheek. His heart has been stabbed a million times seeing her that way."Ohh, Cat... what happened to you?" He couldn't help but to tear up. He scoop her face and seek her eyes."Baby... are you okay?"
"Fuck you Enzo." She gritted her teeth. Enzo chuckle and kisses her lips. Catriona's dogs sniffle him and he reach her stomach.
"Wow, this is big."
"I'm really going to fucking kill you." She smack his chest.
"Ow! Baby! Don't do that..."
"This is all your fault."
"Before the two of you make out—we have to get out of here first." Veronica said. Enzo check if Catriona was bleeding and she said that it wasn't hers.
Enzo carried Catriona and her weight doesn't matter to him.
"I'm heavy!" She scowl at him.
"What? I am carrying my love and my babies."
Catriona shove her face on his neck and hug him tightly. She started weeping silently as Enzo took her to the chopper. The dogs follow them. The pilot look at him.
"They are in military." Enzo told the pilot."Baby, how many dogs do you have?"
"Uhh... Five."
"There's only four."
Catriona was about to go out but Enzo hold her.
"Sir, are we going up now?"
"Wait!" Catriona said."Lieutenant!" She calls and the Akita barks."Sergeant." The Bull Mastiff barks."Cornel!" She calls and the Doberman answers."Captain?" The Rottweiler answers."Where's General?"
"General?" Enzo whistle calling out for the other dog. Tequila came out with General who is dragging a big stuff toy. The one that Enzo brought for her."They are here."
"You naughty dog!" Tequila said as he took the stuff toy and put it in the chopper. The American Pitbull jump and sat down in front of Catriona as he place his chin over her round stomach.
"Albert." Catriona calls.
"Leave now." He went back there with Veronica. Enzo nodded to the pilot as they flew up.
