Malcolm gave Brad a look, and Brad immediately understood and left with Lucie.
Frank's men were probably all over Stogairrol County by now, and their was is a sure sign of exposure.
That was why he needed Brad and his team to get there first. He was monitoring it remotely.
Malcolm contacted the police in Stogairrol County and was at his beck and call.
It began to rain. The road back to the mountains became difficult to walk up, all the way muddy.
Malcolm personally drove behind Brad and his men, but had to follow them from a distance. To avoid being too conspicuous, he chose a regular Volkswagen that he didn't drive very often.
Lucie was sitting in an armored car, watching as she entered Stogairrol County, about to walk up the mountain road. Panicking, she had some worry and asked, "Well... you will guarantee my safety, right? If there is danger, you will give priority to my protection?"
Brad responded indifferently, "As long as you don't leave our sight, we'll make sure you're safe."
This was a winding mountain road, and because of the rain, the road was very slippery. If he was not careful, the car would fall down the mountain. He had to keep his spirits up.
Even with Brad's reply, Lucie was terrified. She couldn't help but shiver and swallow.
She had not lived enough in her life, but she did not want to die so inexplicably, in the intrigue of others.
At the foot of the road, here was very quiet. There was not a bright place.
Brad stopped the car and arranged for a silent ambush around Lucie's house.
After the winding mountain road, Brad followed Lucie into the house alone, and Lucie opened the door with a shudder.
Before she could turn on the light of the house, a gleaming dagger came at her.
"Hide!"
Brad hit the alarm connected to Malcolm, pulled Lucie away, and fought everyone in the room.
Looking at the red dot flashing on his phone, Malcolm immediately got out of the car and took a shortcut up the hill.
His men had ambushed and there were more than one person in the room with a gun in their hand.
Bang, Bang, Bang
Three gunshots rang through the night, and the violent noise startled the birds in the forest, and they squeaked away.
Lucie covered her nose and mouth in fear and hid in a small haystack in the courtyard outside the house, not even daring to breathe.
Malcolm was soon in position, and Brad and a couple of officers were fighting each other.
Because of the dim light, there was no light on in the room, only the muzzle flash was faintly visible.
Malcolm had not yet entered the room when he saw a shadow scurrying away in the dark. He hurried after it.
It was a familiar figure, similar to the dark figure he had suddenly seen in the lab the other day.
"Brad, control the scene!"
"Yes, Boss!"
Malcolm left the words and followed the shadow into the woods.
The man's movement was quick, like a cheetah in the dark, jumping up and down, familiar with the terrain here.
Luckily, Malcolm had checked out the mountain route ahead of time, so he didn't have to lead him around.
Two people one after another, the rain was getting bigger and bigger. The mountain road was also more and more difficult to walk up.
Boom!
The thunder sounded.
It was very dangerous to go through the woods all the time.
This was not the way to go. Malcolm stopped to look around and immediately took another shortcut to catch up.
Soon, he caught up with the shadow, quickly raised the gun, aimed at the muzzle.
Boom!
Boom!
