NIKO Thump. It’s done. No one takes a shot at me and lives on to brag about it. Thump. I turn and see her lying on the ground next to our car. “f**k,” I mutter to myself. She wasn’t supposed to witness this. “Boss?” Jeremiah waits for my orders before acting as usual. “I will take her. You handle him.” I walk to her and hear Jeremiah talking on the phone where I left him to regroup men to clean this s**t up. How they got so close to the gate is something that troubles me, but I have to get her out of here, so I don’t have time to contemplate on the issue. I lift her body to carry her on my arms and bite back the pain from where the sucker shot me. I can feel the blood rushing out of the wound and down my arm. I place her on the back seat and drive us back to the villa.
