Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 2642

They had just popped out of the cave when they heard sudden gunshots echoing in the darkness.

“They’re here. Move! Quickly!” Roy hissed urgently. Everyone immediately headed south. Zacharias reached out to take Shirley’s hand and intended to lead her away. Alas, she took her bodyguarding job seriously as she covered his six. “Don’t worry about me. I can handle this.” “Miss Lloyd, just go! If you don’t go, how can Mr. Flintstone leave?” Freddie pointed out, knowing just what Zacharias was thinking.

“He’s right,” Zacharias spoke up immediately. Shirley could only turn to Nixon, “Mr. Nixon, you and the others cover our rear. I’ll lead him to our rendezvous point.” “Go ahead, Miss Lloyd. We’ll take care of these people, Nixon said. She swiftly led Zacharias toward the east under the cover of night. The trees and rocky paths alongside the sandy beach made for a challenging route.

Alas, Shirley stepped on a rock in her hurry and slipped. Fortunately, Zacharias managed to reach out and grab her waist before she could fall. “Be careful.” She nodded and also held onto him. “Let’s move quickly.” The gunfire from behind was getting closer. Judging from the gunshots, they were being boxed in. Since they only had a few men protecting them, Shirley and Zacharias had no choice but to make a break toward the east. Even though they would end up looking like utter barbarians, they couldn’t afford to waste even a single second.

They finally spotted the three helicopters at their rendezvous point under the moonlight. These helicopters were situated in a rather secluded area. So, they hadn’t been discovered by the enemy forces yet. Moreover, the enemies couldn’t monitor everything happening on the island as they had jammed all signals within the island.

“The helicopters are here. Get on board,” Shirley said to the man behind her.

“Let’s go together.” Zacharias reached for her hand and was determined not to leave her behind.

However, she had someone else she couldn’t leave behind-Richard. She took Zacharias’ hand. “All right. Let’s go.” Then, she and Zacharias boarded one of the helicopters. She swiftly pulled something from a hidden compartment and fastened it around Zacharias’ wrist before securing the other end to the frame of the seat.

“Shirley, what are you doing?” Zacharias panicked as he saw her actions.

Shirley swiftly delivered a punch to his neck, causing his eyes to widen in shock before he slumped against his seat, succumbing to unconsciousness.
