Come Closer

Chapter 16

Dagburgh City

Noah and Adrian were crouching behind a wall of an abandoned factory. Their men were also crouching beside them. They all were heavily breathing inside the masks they were wearing and they all had guns in their hands. Waiting for an opportunity to attack their enemies inside the factory, they counted their time. Noah and Adrian were listening carefully to the sounds that came outside.

“Hurry up! We don’t have time for you to be loathing around. Be quick with your lazy feet!” They heard someone shouting as some men were loading some heavy packages to a truck.

“What are they loading?” asked Adrian. “I don’t know. But they can probably be transporting some illegal things by the look of it.” Noah answered.

“Do we strike now?”

Noah shook his head lightly. “No, not yet. We have to stay until their leader comes.”

Adrian nodded his understanding. “Here he comes” Noah said as a black car came in the factory. A heavy built man got down and walked inside, surrounded by bodyguards. “Let them make themselves at home. Then we attack.” Noah muttered under his breath. “Get ready” Adrian whispered to their men.

“Is everything going well?” The leader of the enemies asked. “Yes sir, we are ready to transport these.” Said the man who was hauling orders to their men. The leader nodded and went near the truck to check it. Just then they heard the gunshots around them. Noah and Adrian were firing their guns at them with their men. The bodyguards surrounded their leader and started shooting at the attackers.

One by one fell down because of the firing, from both sides. The floor became a bloody mess. Screams and shouts and gunshots were the only sounds that could be heard. At the end, the enemy leader had fallen, shot in his chest and head. His bodyguards and servants also were dead. Noah and Adrian looked around them. Bodies were scattered everywhere. Their men were injured while some of them were laying on the floor, lifeless. For a normal person, it was a disgusting and terrifying sight. But, to mafias, it was nothing. They couldn’t care less about those lives. They only cared about their gang members.

“Bring our men and bury them properly. And, for the injured ones, take them to a hospital. Clean this mess.” Noah ordered their men and walked towards the opened truck.

“What was he going to do with all these?” Adrian asked as he saw the number of weapons inside the truck. Noah looked at Adrian. “I don’t know, but it must have been something big. With this much weapons at someone’s disposal, we can’t say they are up to any good.” He said.

“What do we do with these?” Adrian asked. “Let’s take these from here” Noah said. “Check this place. If you find any other things, destroy them at once” Noah ordered others.

When they were all done cleaning the factory and clearing the evidence, they all went out to their cars, parked behind the factory, some distance away. “Finally, we can go home now” Adrian said, stretching his hands up, as they drove back home. But Noah was silent, deep in thought about something.
