Daniel and Jerry shielded Janet from the incoming bullets and led Janet under the checkout counter of the restaurant.
Janet tugged at Daniel's sleeve and said, "Give me a gun."
Compared to the bullets shooting at her, her shard of ceramic was totally worthless.
Daniel glimpsed at her, fished out a gun from his pocket, and handed it to her.
He knew what was on her mind. He would never allow her to risk her life! Daniel looked into Janet's eyes and said, "Follow me!"
"Bang!" A bullet fired and flew toward them. Daniel held Janet in his arms and darted to a nearby corner for cover.
Then, he pointed his gun at the armed men and pulled the trigger several times.
Several men fell at the sound of the gun.
Before Janet, who was fully protected by Daniel, figured out what just happened.
Daniel had whisked her into the kitchen that was diagonally opposite to the checkout counter.
Daniel pushed her into a corner and then closed the kitchen door, leaving a small gap.
Eight of the ten armed men had fallen. The remaining two, who were wearing body armors, were approaching them cautiously with guns in their hands.
Daniel quickly loaded his gun and fired shots at them, triggering the two men who immediately fired back aggressively.
The glass window on the door flat-out shattered.
Janet, holding the shard, stood up all of a sudden and ran to the other side of the kitchen.
A bullet brushed past her hair and went straight into the wall, missing her by an inch.
"Janet!" Daniel frowned and stared at Janet with a reproachful look.
Why couldn't this woman do as she was instructed to?
Janet shrugged her shoulders and replied with an assuring smile. Hearing the approaching sound of guns, they exchanged a knowing look and started fighting back.
Daniel pointed his gun at one of the men and pulled the trigger, while Janet threw her shard at the other man.
"Ah!"
One of them fell the moment he got shot, while Janet's debris hit the eye of the other one. It was so painful that the man couldn't help but unconsciously drop the gun to cover his eye with his hands.
Then, Daniel and Janet fired shots at him simultaneously, with one gun aiming at his legs and the other aiming at his arms.
Being shot on all fours, he wasn't able to strike back anymore.
...
When Daniel and Janet walked toward the rear doorway, holding hands, they heard police sirens approaching. The fire at the rear doorway had already been extinguished.
Daniel dragged Janet to his bulletproof car and pushed her into it in spite of Janet's resistance.
He then waved at Roma, who was in the middle of a combat, threw the car keys to her, and said, "Get Janet out of here!"
Roma kicked the guy who was closest to her away, promptly caught the car keys, and rushed into the car.
Suddenly, Janet saw another batch of armed men, led by a man with a mask, rushing toward them. The leader fired a shot toward Daniel's direction.
...
The scene drove Janet mad. The man with the mask... Daniel...
