Chapter 43: Fraudster (3)
Just as the gun was pointed at Sofya's head, there were audible gasps around the table. One lady shrieked loudly as she backed against the wall, terrified.
Sofya however was sitting calmly in her cushioned chair, smiling. Glancing at Nancy and Sawyer behind her, she winked and nodded slightly, an act which was missed by Mr. Jabari. Their plan had worked perfectly well. Now, time for more information.
Mr. Jabari's face was as pale as it could be. Beads of sweat could be seen forming on his forehead, but he had no choice, he had to do this. Brandishing his gun at everybody else in the room, he shouted, his voice quivering slightly, " Everybody move backwards towards the wall. Do it and nobody needs to get hurt. "
The shareholders obliged quickly, moving in a corner, their faces turned towards the wall.
" You two also. " He pointed towards Sawyer and Nancy. Both of them moved quickly, it was necessary for their boss's plan to succeed today.
" Now, what are we going to do, Mr. Jabari? " Sofya asked him calmly, as if she was the one holding the gun and not the opposite person. Her incessant attitude did nothing to calm him down.
" Move. " He ordered, pointing towards the door. Like an obedient child being sent around, Sofya complied. The conference room was built on one of the top most floors. Once out of the conference room, they went towards the private lift. The whole floor was deserted, not a single soul could be seen. This struck a bit odd to Mr. Jabari, but he didn't dwell much on it. It was because everything had already been pre planned. The guards had earlier been notified by Sawyer to keep everybody out of harm's way by evacuating the floor.
There were two lifts at rear ends of each floor - one for the employees and another for designated personnel. The private lift opened directly in the parking lot, for easy access. At this time, the parking lot would be vacant. Thinking this, he pushed the buttons as soon as they got into lift. The lift rumbled downwards, making a squeaking sound as it stopped. Neither of them made any sound.
Directing Sofya with his gun, they moved towards the parking lot, Mr. Jabari trailing behind. Suddenly, Sofya stopped walking. She turned around to face Mr. Jabari, her face utterly calm.
" Now we are alone, you may tell me why you are looking for the locker? "
Mr. Jabari gasped, he hadn't expected her to know this. The fact that the locker was one thing that could save his mother from the hands of those devils, was why he had been searching for it.
" I .. I don't know -- "
" Cut the crap. I know you are being threatened by someone. Just give me their name and I will protect you, as well as your mother. "
Of all the things that he had expected her to say, this was the last one. But the damage was done.
" I am sorry! " He whispered, as he backed away, the gun falling from his hand. Behind him, two men emerged, their faces masked with black cloth. Sofya laughed as she folded her sleeves. She had been itching to try her skills on someone and here they were, the perfect prey.
As one of the men moved forward, with swift action she climbed the bonnet of the near car. Lunging towards the man, she caught onto his shoulders as she tried to break his neck with her bare hands. The man, while trying to throw her off, clawed at her back which resulted in her blouse getting torn off, revealing her fair skin. Soon enough, a crack sound was heard as the man fell unconscious to the ground.
With a roar, his companion pushed Sofya, pinning her to the ground. Try as hard as she might, the man was strong. Dodging his punches, she bit him hard on the hand causing him to yell in pain. Sofya quickly seized the opportunity to get up. Unnoticed by him, she pressed the acupressure points on his neck, causing him to go numb. Falling on the ground, the man's eyes were filled with horror and surprise.
