Bang!

he didn't get a response, his heart pounding as he came nearer, did he hit her? he took a glance at his companion. Is he dead? He saw blood oozing from his right chest.

He suddenly turn on her hiding place it's empty. where did she go?

a sudden kick hit him, sending him sprawling on the pavement. He immediately try to stand, but was hit again on his chest causing him to spit blood. Carah fought to capture his opponent, with the training she acquired from his self-defense classes.

He felt the gun on his hand aim at his opponent and squeeze the trigger, but to no avail someone from behind him seized his hand causing it to explode but not hitting his target, his other hand was also held up and handcuffed together.

"Bruce! about time you appear."

"Sorry Miss Carah, we were held up in traffic. " he reasoned out.

"Never mind. take them into custody interrogate them. I want to know who is their mastermind."

The other villain was regaining consciousness after hitting his head on a hard object when he fall, surprised to learned that his hands was already bound by handcuffs. Bruce is with his partner who help him seized the two men. They are detectives. who are among the people joining Carah's crusade.
