Chương 31: The Tragedy(4)
Helena wasted no time kicking the oak table in front and pulling Ethan to hide behind the table, Daryl snatched the AR 15 rifle from one of the men and fired a shot using the semi -automatic rifle. Helena rolled over and reached for the ice pick on the floor and stabbed the man who was shooting on his neck from behind. She picks up the rifle and works with Daryl to fire at them.
Ethan, who was still stunned, could only see Helena turning violent and thirsty for blood. She does not look like the Helena he knows. The man who came with Ethan was shot on his leg, he squinted towards Ethan to take cover while Helena and Daryl fired the rifle relentlessly. The man has also out of bullets, and he is not useful as of now since he sustain an injury, the only thing he can do to take cover and avoid being a burden, being in an underworld has taught him that at least. His eyes flashed a admiring gazed seeing Helena and Daryl working together seamlessly.
Helena ran out of bullets and used the rifle to hit the cartel leader's head making him faint. He fell on the floor, and was dragged by Helena to the side so she can tie him before he is awake.
" There will be more of their minions coming, how many minutes before the reinforcement comes to our aid" Helena searched for extra magazines in the body of the dead bodyguard after she tie the leader.
Daryl closed the wooden thick door and restrained it using the cupboard that was next to it. "2minutes" he said while finding any useful items for them to use. He looked at Ethan behind the table that was covered with bullets hole.
"Not now..." Helena warned Daryl, knowing what is in his mind.
The sound of running footsteps was heard from outside the room they locked, Helena observed about 30 people outside ready to attack them, Helena and Daryl only had 30 rounds to make sure they could delay the outcome before their help arrived. Helena opened the window in the room and pulled out a curtain to bind it making a sturdy rope so that Ethan and his friend could get out.
"this is good enough, Ethan you have to leave now" Helena tugging the rope she made to ensure its able to withstand their weight.
"i am not leaving you..."he frowned
"it is not the time to argue, you have to go NOW!!" Helena raised her voice and her face turn to plead him to listen to her.
He felt dejected and took the rope from her and lift his friend to secure him and going down. The door was pounded over and over, Daryl can only hold so much before the lackeys shooting their way in.
The shooting began and several beige Humvee trucks stopped at the mansion compound and tactically dressed men and women came out and securing Ethan and his friend who had just reached the ground. Helena nodded at Daryl to release the door, they stand with their ready to shoot position.
Screams and blood splattered alternated with the bullets flying. Helena was shot in the shoulder and fell to the floor. Daryl who was still firing retreated as he watched their reinforcement take over. He lift her and placed her arms on his shoulder for them to leave the battleground.
Ethan anxiously waiting in the Humvee when he saw Helena was supported by Daryl, he opened the door of the Humvee and rushed to get Helena, and before he gets to her Daryl released Helena and punched Ethan in the face as hard as he could.
Ethan staggered and fell to the ground and spat out the blood that had gathered in his mouth. Helena stood in front of Daryl and held his shoulder to beg him.
"Don't..... don't ..... please don't ... he doesn't know ... it's not his fault ... it's my fault ..." Helena eyes teary as she begged Daryl not to do it.
Ethan was not supposed to know the existence of the Cabal, no one lived if they knew of the existence of the Cabal.
"you know better..it is not up to me" Daryl walked away leaving them to get into the Humvee and motion his hand to drive away. Helena looked at Ethan and bent down to help him up, her mind is in chaos...
Helena and Ethan get into another Humvee, the cartel leader watching them from a distance with handcuffed hands. His mouth was slanted with a sarcastic smile. He walked slowly to be put in a detention van to be taken to the black site for interrogation.
"you shouldn't have come Ethan...you shouldn't" her lips shook as she said the word, Ethan knew what Helena meant, he understood Helena's job after seeing this incident, and he knew he would be killed since he is stumbled on this secret. But if this was what he had to do in order to see Helena for the last time, he would do the same a thousand times over even if he has to die a thousand times.
