ENZO'S POV By the time I got to the warehouse, everything was in disarray, windows and the doors were torn down and even some parts of the walls. "Boss I had no idea how this happened, we just..." One of my men, the one in charge of the warehouse, started the reports as I scanned the entire area. My men moved around trying to salvage the leftover goods, but whatever was left behind was of less value. Whoever broke in, took away the most valuable leaving bits of the crumbs for me. "When did you arrive here?" I asked the man. "Thirty minutes ago, I had to meet up with a partner from the logistics firm and when I returned ah..." He groaned, clutching his stomach hard. "What is wrong with you?" I snapped, looking at him. "I..I can't explain, my stomach is....arghhh" he groaned again, falling to his knees, his face twisting in agony and pain. What the f**k is going on?? "Can I get some water over here??" I shouted, crouching down to help him, when I noticed his face. The veins around his face and neck were starting to pop out like they were about to burst and his eyes started closing. "Alex! Alex Alex what is wrong with you" I called out repeatedly, tapping him so that he doesn't fade into unconsciousness. "Boss, here is the water" I grabbed the bottle from him, trying to feed it to Alex and at that same time, white foam seeped out of his mouth, as he fainted in my arms. Before I could process that, the same man that handed me the bottle of water, let out a sharp groan, fell on the floor, clutching his stomach tightly just the same way Alex did dropping on the floor. "The f**k!!! Heyyy" I called, trying to get his attention, but it was futile. He was foaming at the mouth and Alex hàd already turned blue in a matter of a few seconds. They have been poisoned! Anger fueled my system as I clenched my fist hard, trying to contain the fury boiling inside of me when another man ran up to me. "Something has happened boss!" The man led me to the back of the warehouse, where most of my men where and on the floor laid some - some were dead, some were foaming from the mouth and others were bleeding from the nose and eyes. I did a total headcount and realized that I had lost about twenty five of my men, all under minutes. I inhale deeply, lowering my gaze so my men, the ones that weren't affected by whatever caused the death, wouldn't see my face. "What are we going to do now boss?" "We are also going to die too..." "They were all in the morning shift, whatever happened to them most have taken place, hours ago" Silent murmurings fill the room, as everyone gives their opinions regarding the situation on ground. But talking about it wasn't going to solve anything for us, I had a bad feeling, an uneasy feeling that we were under attack! It then hit me. First an invasion was created at the warehouse, goods worth millions were taken, and my men poisoned. "Everyone, listen up, gather the arms immediately we need to evacuate this place" I ordered, slipped my hands into my coat to ensure that my gun was firmly tucked inside. "Boss!" "How can we leave??" "What do we do about the bodies?" "What about the leftover goods?" "We need to take care of this..." "We don't have enough time..." I started again, but unfortunately I didn't get enough time to even complete my statement as a loud gunshot was fired from outside. I was right. An attack. Planned and executed so perfectly, leaving room for mistake. On cue, my men got the message and immediately sorted out for arms and weapons. Anything to protect ourselves. "Make sure you don't die!" I shouted again as everyone went into hiding waiting for the enemy to step in when I heard another voice. "That would be difficult boss" "What?" "Take a look at this..."the man added again, standing close to the window looking outside. "There are about a hundred of them, fully armed and we are less than thirty, how are we supposed to win this?" He continued in a defeated tone. I rushed to the window to see for myself and he was right! My entire compound was covered with strange men, putting on grey masks and arms, half of my men were dead already, I was at loss. Like I said, a well carved out plan. Whoever is the mastermind, I will make sure he or she pays for this. In more than a thousand ways. "If we want to survive this, you must defend rather than attack, and if you know you can't stand this fight, you can leave through the secret passage" I announced loudly, my eyes fixed on the armed men outside. Almost like they were waiting for a command before they stepped in. "We can't leave you boss, we will fight by your side!" A few of them chorused. In all honesty I was touched. But I wasn't sure I wanted to hear the guilt for the rest of my life, that is if I survive tonight. "I'm saying this again, you are free to exit if you want to, I cannot assure you of what the outcome may be but I..." Bang! The door of our warehouse was torn down followed by three loud gunshots as the men swarmed in. And then the fight began. The men were relentless, they were fully prepared and almost never ran out of bullets as they kept firing. I quickly moved behind the stack of crates, pulling out a gun from one of my dead men on the floor and from behind I fired two bullets at one of the men before he could shoot mine. The fight got intense and I was losing my badly, my men were dying one after the other and the enemies were everywhere. I could only take on a few, but couldn't cover the entire ground and just when I shot the last bullet in my gun, I heard a shot from behind but I was quick to dodge it and the bullet ended up grazing my arm. This was the end I guess. I groaned, holding my arm tightly as I stared at the motherfucker that shot me, ready to go on with him and then he dropped his f*****g gun and smiled at me. "We will be back" He clicked his fingers and all his men that survived started to withdraw, leaving the warehouse and in a matter of minutes they were all gone, leaving me to count my losses.
