The Marvelous Elijah's Return novel Chapter 158

The box

Unmuting his mother’s call, Elijah hastily asked, “Did you talk to doctor Harry to come over and check her up?”

“Yes. He’s attending to her right now.” Mrs. Maxwell answered. “I just thought you would like to know.”

“Thank you, mom, for telling me. I will be on the next flight back home soon…”

“You don’t-“.

“Let me call you back.”

“Is everything okay? You sound”

“Love you, mom.”

After those words, Elijah ended the call, seeing Rick’s incoming call, and he immediately answered, “Rick,”

“Why is Dice speeding up, boss?” Rick’s voice came through the phone, sounding concerned. Subconsciously, Elijah glanced at Dice’s speedometer, seeing that it was dangerously close to the limit and then he said, “The hoodie, cap, and glasses at the airport didn’t work in my disguise to enter the country without drawing unwanted attention… But it doesn’t make sense that someone would knowillam entering Syldavia or when, if… Shit!”

“What?!” Rick exclaimed, clearly worried about Elijah’s sudden change of tone.

Pausing for a moment, Elijah tried to calm himself before answering, feeling sick with guilt.” We have a spy on us in Bordoria. That’s the only way anybody would know I left to come to Syldavia.”

“What now boss?” Rick asked.

The plan to keep attention off me has failed. There’s no need to stay scattered, so pass the message to the others to assemble.”

“Yes, boss.”

Spying in the rearview mirror, Dice hesitated and then said, “You wanted this to be an in-and out situation… I can still shake them off, and we can.”

“I need to know who is behind this. If my guess is right and they have eyes in Bordoria, I can not let them get away.” Elijah said. “You think Miss Grace and your wife-” “They are in the safest place I can think of. Let’s take care of these fools and then worry about the rest later.”

After a long pause, Dice smirked, looking in the side mirror at the black SUVs pulled up closer behind them, and the ones at the front slowing down for him to catch up to them.

Soon, the car that Elijah was in got circled by the Black car on the left, the gray vehicle on the right, and the white one at their back, and then a bunch of bulletproof black SUVs closing thein up.

“Change route?” Dice asked, eyeing his boss. “Change route,” Elijah commanded. The moment they reached the intersection of the dusty road, leading down to the rundown train track, Dice made a hard turn, and the three cars had no choice but to pursue because the SUVs had them close up and when they tried to slow down, they got hit in the bumper. After speeding down the dusty road for a while, Elijah heard a loud, “Bang” from the back of the car, and the force swung him forward, but the seatbelt pushed him back. “Hold on, boss.” Dice warned as he swerved the SUV to the right, banging into the gray car, and pushing it to the side, and the moment Larry saw that Elijah’s car was out of the white car’s way and to the right, he ran into the veliicle, banging into it from the back.

The SUVs at the front sped up as the White car flipped over two times. The Black car ran off the dusty road, trying to make a U-turn, and tried to drive back onto the mainroad, but Rick intentionally drove toward it, clapping into its hood, and clashing with it.

Immediately, his airbag deployed, and his head jerked forward, hitting against it, and his body tensed as he stared outside of the window.

Realizing that they were screwed, the driver in the White car, gave it his all, slamming into the side of Elijah’s car, where he was, and his head hit the window, making an impact, leaving a cut.

The wreck from the hit made the white car flip on its side.

“Boss,” Dice called out, looking in the rearview mirror.

Groaning in pain, Elijah mumbled, “I am fine.”

The rest of the SUVs came to a stop, their doors opened and several men exited their vehicles, hurrying towards the black SUV.

When his men opened the door, Elijah took a moment to suppress the pain ripping through his head before stepping out of the car, his steps a bit unstable for a second.

Ignoring the pain, he looked over at one of his men and said, “Hick, rally everyone from the three vehicles… the ones hurt get medical attention.. the ones in okay conditions go to the warchouse.”

Then he focused on the other dude and commanded, “Axel, the six of you are taking me to our first location.”

“Yes, boss!” Axel said.

Subconsciously, Elijah turned around to see both Rick’s and Larry’s cars damaged, and he shouted, dismissing his hieadache, “Rick, Larry… Are you two okay?!”
