Chapter One hundred and one
Jean was shivering when she saw Jade and me outside.
"He is bleeding," Jean said
"I know. I need you to help me take him inside"
"There is a man at the back of the house and he has a gun in his hand" Jean cried
"Shh....bring your voice down. How many are they? " I told her
"I don't know. I just saw one and he is with a gun"
"Jade is hurt, we need to take him inside and call 911. The light is off, remember? So we can't use the intercom" Jean said
"Oh shit"
Jean assisted me in carrying Jade inside the house and locked the door. Jean took me to the room to show the man she had seen earlier, and we saw the man through the window, this time there were three.
I touched my pocket to get my phone, I had call credit in it but could not find it. Jean noticed my movements and asked me what the problem was.
"My phone, I can't find it"
"You might have dropped it when you went to look for Jade," she said
Now there was no way to make any calls. I knew going out to search for it was dangerous especially as they were all armed.
"Jade!" I remembered and then we went back to the living room to check up on him but he was not there anymore. This got Jean and me shivering in fear.
"Where does he go to?" she asked
"I have no idea"
Jade walked in from the room beside us and we almost jumped away. He was holding a gun. I also noticed he had a part of his arm tied with a cloth to reduce the bleeding. The gun he was carrying was bigger than the one he had with him earlier.
"You both should go into the room and remain there. Do not come out no matter what happens" Jade said
"I can't promise that. Jade you are already injured" I said
"You both should stay in separate rooms, it is safer that way"
"No. I cant" Jean said
"I will stay with her," I said and Jade left.
Jean and I went into the room, Jade had come out from and locked it. We waited for a while in the room but everything was quiet then we heard a gunshot. It came from the kitchen. Jade must be in trouble.
"Jean promise me that you won't come out from here"
"You are not going anywhere. Jade warned us not to come out"
"Jade is hurt and needs backup"
"He has a gun for that but you have nothing"
"If we want to get out of this situation alive then we have to do something. I can't let Jade die while trying to save me, I can't lose another friend"
After a while of convincing Jean, she agreed to remain in the room, then I tiptoed out of the room to the living room. I tried my best not to make any noise, then I heard sounds coming from the kitchen. I quietly went there then I saw Jade and one of the men fighting, the man had Jade on his injured arm and that made it difficult for Jade to fight back.
Fortunately, the man did not see me, only Jade did and I quietly went to the knife rack and picked a knife and went gently behind the man, and then stabbed him on his neck. The grip he had on Jade loosened and he fell to the ground then I rushed over to Jade. He was bleeding so much that the cloth he had tied on his arm had been taken off.
I quickly tore a part of my top and wrapped it around the affected area. Then I helped him up and led him to the living room. When we got there, I helped him onto the couch.
"You should have stayed inside with Jean," he said
"And you would have been a dead man," I replied. The blood was beginning to soak the material.
"Do you have any spirit here in the house?"
"Yes in the bathroom," he said and I left him to go and get it immediately. I went to the bathroom and found the spirit, then I checked for cotton wool and plaster. I found them in the bathroom as well.
I went back to the sitting room, so I could cover his wound so it does not get infected. Then I saw two men each of them had a gun on them. One had a gun pointed at Jade while the other two stood by the side. The moment I walked in, one of them pulled me by my arms. Jade tried to move but they cocked the gun and he held back.
"Let me go" I pleaded but they did not listen.
"I told Mar I was going to get you," the man said. It was too dark to see his face properly, I could only see their forms in the room.
"You pussy of a man couldn't do what he was supposed to do"
"Let her go"
"He sent you instead," the man said looking at Jade
"I wish I could send you back to tell him what I intend to do to his woman"
"You are the loser," Jade shouted.
I was still so shocked at how much courage he had shown even with a gun pointed at his head.
"Take me and let him go please" I cried.
The man walked closer to me and his gun under my jaw and that scared me a lot.
"You are my trophy at last"
"Let Jade go" I pleaded and he hit me across my face.
"You are in no place to tell me what to do. Bring her with me and finish him" he ordered and walked out of the room.
One of the men pointed his gun at Jade and shot him in the head.
"Nooo" I screamed and then a material covered my face and all went black.
