Aileen hugged her body, curled up behind the car seat while covering her ears from the sound of gunshots that were still ringing outside the car.
She was so scared that her whole body had turned to jelly. Aileen couldn't even move an inch. She seemed to have merged with the seat.
Until finally, one of the men in the car, said loudly into the earpiece in his ear, exclaiming, "Back off, it's done!".
And immediately, all their accomplices got back into their bulletproof cars and automatically stopped the gunfight that was taking place in front of the main gates of the Tordoff house.
Within seconds, the ten cars of Leon's men with their firearms, had vanished from the scene of the crime, leaving their two dead men in the truce and hundreds of shell casings on the ground.
Thin, white smoke was still visible in the air as they left, confusing Pyro and several other bodyguards.
What was that about? They left just like that?
The Tordoff family's main gates were still intact and they didn't manage to enter the residence, but something made Pyro feel strange…
Like he had missed something.
Then he went back to thinking quickly…
If they really wanted to enter the Tordoff residence, they should have known that the main gates were the only way in and also the only obstacle they had to break down, but why didn't they prepare themselves properly? And just kept them busy in this place?
Is this just…
"Barry, stay here!" Pyro shouted, he then jumped into the car and rushed the vehicle back to Ramon's house, where Hailee was.
Barry didn't have time to ask what happened to Pyro, but he did as he was told and started organizing the rest of the bodyguards.
The two guards who had been shot earlier were immediately given first aid and apart from that there were no other victims from their side, while the gate was opened and two victims from the opposing side were immediately identified, even though they knew that they would not get much information.
Meanwhile, Pyro was racing against time as he took the car he was driving back to Ramon's house, he hoped nothing bad had happened to Mrs. Tordoff, his heart racing at the speed of the car.
And when he just arrived in front of Ramon's house, he saw someone coming out of the house with blood on the left side of his face.
Seeing that Pyro's heart seemed to stop because his nightmare had really come true.
"What happened?!" he shouted as he got out of the car, but the bodyguard that Pyro recognized as Collin, immediately waved his hand, signaling for Pyro to get back into his car.
"Get back in your car!" he cried hastily, then he got into the nearest car that was parked in front. "They took Mrs. Tordoff away!" he shouted frantically, not giving Pyro a chance to ask anything else.
"What?! How could that be?!" Pyro was wide-eyed, but because Collin looked so serious and the news of Mrs. Tordoff made the blood all over the bodyguard's body freeze, he couldn't think straight.
Panic attacked him, especially when he was reminded of how he failed to carry out his duties. He would die if Mr. Tordoff found this.
Hurriedly, instinctively, of course Pyro got back into the car and followed Collin's car.
He spoke into the earpiece in his ear to prepare a few more cars to catch up to the cars that had attacked the main gates of the Tordoff residence.
And in the midst of the chaos, Pyro forgot one big question; how could they get to Hailee when the only access in and out of the house was the main gates where the gunfight took place?
================
Ramon arrived in front of his house when several police cars were already around. It turned out that the continuous sounds of bullets erupting and breaking the silence of the night, had attracted the attention of many people and were heard up to several nearby houses, even though they were so far away.
It indicated how fierce the ceasefire had been.
Ramon clenched his jaw and stopped his car right in front of the gates, as he couldn't get into the house, being blocked by the two police cars ahead.
"Mr. Tordoff," said one of the police officers in charge, who immediately approached Ramon, but the man ignored his call and immediately approached one of his bodyguards because he didn't see Pyro there.
"What happened?" asked Ramon.
The bodyguard then briefly explained what had actually happened; a horde of cars suddenly blocking the main road, gunfire and after that their hasty departure.
But, none of that mattered to Ramon, because all he cared about right now was one thing. "Is Pyro with my wife?"
Hearing that question, the bodyguard immediately lowered his head and if he had a choice, he would choose to go back to undergoing harsh military training instead of having to tell Mr. Tordoff.
He couldn't help but tremble in fear as he answered him, even the look in Ramon's eyes was far more terrifying than the gunfight earlier.
