Nicole looked around and there were no other guests other than the waiters. She chose a table by the window. Laurence arrived soon after and was surprised to see Nicole.
“Haven’t you left?” Laurence asked in surprise.
“I am worried about you.” Nicole simply said.
They ordered a cup of Americano and Cappuccino and started to drink the coffee. They remained silent.
Time ticked on and Cara was nowhere to be seen. A waiter came to refill their cups and then realized that there was a note below her cup.
“Run!”
The message shocked Laurence and Nicole. It was Cara’s handwriting. Were they not here to meet her? Why did she send a note asking them to leave when they had already arrived? Was the person who made the appointment not Cara?
Nicole was puzzled but deep within her, she believed that Cara would not harm Laurence. Nicole immediately pulled Laurence to leave. Laurence was still in a daze. This was not the first time Nicole held his hand and each time that happened, danger was lurking nearby. Could it be…
Laurence’s eyes narrowed, quickly looked around, and felt that something was about to happen.
At this moment, all the doors to the café were suddenly shut. Nicole’s heart sank and knew that something bad was about to happen. She quickly drew a pistol from her bag and then shot at the glass door.
“Run!” Nicole pushed Laurence out. It was clear that the attacker was here for Laurence.
Nicole turned on a switch on her bracelet, which was a beacon, and Finn was ready for it and came to aid Nicole.
Before Laurence could say anything, he was already being pushed out by Nicole. At moment, numerous armed men dashed out from the kitchen and started shooting in Nicole and Laurence’s direction.
Nicole rolled on the ground and then joined Finn and Trevin in a gun battle with the people inside the café.
Just as Nicole jumped out, she turned and saw Cara with the armed men. She was stunned momentarily. What was going on? Was that Cara? If so, why did she warn them to run? Since she warned them, then why did she act against them? Was she forced?
Nicole pondered all these in a flash. Laurence was relieved to see Nicole and asked, “Are you alright?”
“I’m fine, let’s go!” Nicole did not want to stay a moment longer and quickly pushed Laurence into the car.
Suddenly, a red streak flashed towards Nicole, and she instinctively pushed Laurence but she was unable to dodge.
“Thud”, the bullet hit Nicole in her right shoulder. The intense pain spun Nicole around and she looked in shock at the familiar face.
It was her?!
The shooter did not fire another shot, lowered the weapon jumped away from the position.
Trevin rushed over as soon as he noticed that Nicole had been wounded and asked, “Madam, are you alright?”
Laurence wanted to exit the car but was stopped by Nicole, “Let’s go!”
Nicole made the snap decision to leave first and let Trevin and the rest clean up the fight.
