章節 16: Op Rooppur XV: Counter-attack

The other captives in the room were all scared. ARIA said to Sohel, "It's ready sir." Sohel whispers, "Show me the simulation." Naser got back up and was going towards the chair he was sitting before. Just then Sohel screamed his name. Naser turned around and looked at him. Sohel started talking, "You know I was really happy when I saw you at the airport the day before yesterday. You were like the brother I never had. Why did you have to become like this?"

Naser's face turned black. He said,

"Oh really. Then where were you when I needed you the most? You weren't there. Then when I started to get back on my feet again you just had to be there and try to ruin it. You know, to be honest, I always hated you. You had it all from the start. A loving family, a good brain, and a body that you could make the best of just by training a little. I was always jealous of you."

Naser turns back and sits on the chair.

"But it's alright now. In just a few hours I'll be the happiest man. I'll have millions of money. You'll be gone too."

"Is there no way that you'll leave all these and go back to being my best friend again?"

"HUH!! What do you mean? Do you think I'll even consider that?"

Sohel lets out a deep sigh and says,

"You leave me no choice then."

Sohel had already cut the ropes tying him and Naomi with the knife he hid in his belt. He screams, "Naomi, go." and gets up and runs to a guard while covering his face with his hands. Naomi too gets up and runs towards another guard in the same way. The guards started shooting at them but the bullets reflected off their bullet-proof clothes. Both of them quickly take out the two guards and take their guns. Naser yells, "Get them." 8-10 guards start shooting at them. They run and take cover behind a control panel. Naomi takes a look at the AK47 in her hand and throws it away. She looks at Sohel and asks him for his knife. Sohel smiles as he hands her the knife and says, "You wanna get close to them? Good. Go. I'll provide supporting fire." Naomi takes the knife and flips it. Sohel gets out of the panel's cover and starts shooting while Naomi runs from the side and gets close to the guards. As she gets close to a guard the guard tries to hit her with the butt of his Ak. Naomi dodges the strike swiftly and gets behind him. She holds the guard from the back and says, "Good Night." as she cuts the throat of the guard. She leaves that one and moves to another. She takes out 3 more while Sohel takes out the other six. After the fighting stops, Naomi runs to Jacob and Mitali and cuts their ropes too. Sohel runs to the place where Naser was sitting and sees no one. He whispers to ARIA,

"Where is the backup?"

"Sir. I've sent the signal. They should be here in 5 minutes."

"Fuck. We don't have that time. Show me the UAV feed again."

ARIA projects the UAV feed. Sohel sees 5 people quickly moving towards the yard. He thinks to himself, "That must be Naser." He goes back to his squad. He sees Naomi standing there anxiously. Jacob was lying on the floor unconscious. Mitali was diagnosing him. Sohel asks Mitali about Jacobs' injury. Mitali replies, "He's bleeding internally. Thanks to the medic gear you gave me I've given him Intravenous TXA. But that's just a temporary solution. He needs ER attention ASAP." Sohel says to Mitali, "You stay here and look after Jacob." he looks at Naomi, "You're with me. The army will be here in less than 5 minutes. We will stall him till they get here. Grab a gun and let's go."

Naomi flips the knife in his hand and says, "I've got what I need right here." Sohel laughs, "Of course you do." Both of them got out of the control room and ran towards the front yard.
