It was a bomb.
"It's a bomb!" She screamed and ran into Drake's arms and fainted.
Drake stared at the body in his arms and looked at the thing that was thrown into the room. It was a time bomb. And it already in 20 seconds.
She shouldn't have fainted. Not now. He grabbed the polythene bag on the fridge, his jacket and Luna's bag quickly.
In a second, he disappeared out of the room and ended at the back of the hotel. The room exploded.
He lay her down on the tiles and watched people running helter skelter around the building. Some running for their life while some are looking for a way to end the fire.
"Luna! Luna wake up!" Drake shook her but she didn't wake up.
He carried her to the front building and saw a group of men carrying both injure and dead people out of the building. The emergency van siren kept ringing and ringing. He went to them.
"Can you please check on her? I think she fainted." Drake said to one of the men.
"Okay." The man checked on Luna. Her breathing, pulse and heartbeat. "We can take her to the hospital. Come with us." The man collected Luna from his arms and lay her on the stretcher. Drake entered the van too and the door was locked.
He looked at the building burning. 'Who could have done this?' He thought.
"You're wondering why there's suddenly bombing and shooting there?" An old man from the ambulance asked.
"Yeah, do you know why? I wasn't expecting that. I and this lady here lost everything she spent her money on." Drake's face looked pale.
They never knew this was going to happen. And once Luna wake up, she will be looking sad for this. He led her to here.
Who knows she might complain. Like " If I haven't gotten myself involve in your damn life and mission, I won't be experiencing all this."
He breathed out. Let her wake up first.
"The building is owned by a mafia and that mafia had a fight with a russian mafia who promised to deal with him mercilessly and this is one of the results." The old man explained.
"How did you know?"
"Well, it kind of a private rumor. Only few people knows about it."
"This is unbelievable." Drake shook his head.
"Is she your girlfriend? She didn't look like someone who got hurt anywhere." The old man stared at Luna for a while before touching her face and neck.
"Girlfriend?" He knows what girlfriend is called but he never had one. Only had s*x with women when he needs it. And he isn't a womanizer. Nope. He hasn't slept with any woman for a year or two. "She isn't my girlfriend. She's just my friend."
"Ohh! Like best friends! But what are you two doing in a hotel room?" The man grinned, giving Drake a suspicious eye.
"Oh that? We just came back from a journey and we had to lodge but only one room was available and we took it. We are not best friends with benefits." Drake said clearly to him.
"Hmm....I understand you. Anyways, she's going to wake up soon, I guess."
The van got to the hospital and stopped. They began bringing out the injured people out and when it was Luna's turn, she woke up herself.
She blinked her eyes while Drake rushed to him with a smile.
"You're awake! I almost thought I'd lose you." Drake fake his tears.
"Stop being annoying and silly." Luna rolled her eyes playfully and began to climb down from the van. "I guess I landed in the hospital." She spoke, looking around the environment.
"Yeah." Drake replied, coming down too after giving the old man in the van a smile and waved his hand at him.
Luna gasped. "What about what we bought yesterday? My bag! My card! F*ck!" She almost cried. "My phone is inside that bag for goodness sake."
"Look what I brought with me. What you're looking for might be one of them here." Drake brought out the things he took from the hotel room and showed Luna.
"Oh my! You brought all this along? You're so brilliant to have done that. So cool. I'm sorry I and to faint. I might have given you a hard time." She apologized but Drake waved it off.
"It nothing. As far as you're awake." Replied Drake.
"So, let's......." Luna turned towards the hospital gate but Drake drew her and hug her, putting her face close his chest and he adjusting the face cap to his face well. To cover his face and bent down. Perceiving the sweet scent shampoo in Luna's hair.
"Wha...what are you doing?" Luna could hardly breathe because the way he pressed her head to his chest. Her nose unable to receive air.
"I can't breathe." She admitted and he lossen his hand a little from her head.
"What's going on Drake? Why this all of a sudden?" She questioned again.
"I saw one of the scientists and Gerald!" Drake answered.
"Let me see. I'm sure the can't recognize me since they haven't seen me before." Luna then pulled away from him and turned to look at the direction he was looking at.
"Is it the man with gray suit and one on polo shirt?"
"Yes. The one on Polo shirt is Gerald. The other is the scientist. I've seen him in our empire before."
"Ohh! What are they doing here anyway? Or do they know we are here?"
"I don't think so. One of them must be sick and had to meet at the hospital." Drake frowned. Not sure if that's the reason they are here.
"So, we have to stay till they leave?" Luna scoffed.
"Yeah, if you still want to enjoy your life and not get tortured, you'd better not go near them. They are damn dangerous as hell." Drake warned.
"I'm hungry!" Luna said as soon as her stomach grumbled.
"Let's find a way out of here." Drake turned, holding Luna's hand and was about to leave when he heard his name.
" Drake. It nice to meet you here again." Gerald shouted after sighting him.
"Sh*t! How did he know you're the one? F*ck him!" Luna cussed.
"We need to go. Rather teleport to somewhere else." Drake hurried with Luna away from Gerald who was already sending some guys Immediately to block them.
