Casita crawled to where Nycole was as their brothers engaged in a fist fight. Nycole was shaking his head telling her to leave and run to safety, but she was determined to escape with him.

“Why are you helping me? We are on different team.” Nycole said as Casita pulled him up and said,

“You helped me….and I kind of have a crush on you. Not anymore though. You blew your chance.” She said with a grin as Nycole looked at her amazed.

“How are you taking this all in good spirit. You look like one who just got a cotton candy.” He said as they slowly limped to the door. Black and Klaus were engaged in fighting so there was no one else to stop them, besides she knew Nycole needed medical attention stat.

“Like I said, I have been kidnapped a lot so I am used to it, besides you did try to help me after all.” Casita said as Nycole fell to the ground groaning. He couldn’t walk on his leg anymore.

“Casita, just go. I will be fine, just leave. I am not sure how long your brother can take any more damages from mine.” He said as he glanced over where they were and Casita looked at the door and back at Nycole then allowed her eyes to wander the room. She soon saw what she was looking for.

“Just stay here till I come ok?” She said as she ran back to where she was tied up and started to search for something.

Meanwhile Black and Klaus were involved in a fist fight with Klaus winning because he had worn metal knuckles that was making his punches a lot heavier as Black did his best to dodge them and punch him too.

“You are even scared of taking me single handledly you cheating thief. You are fighting against an unarmed man and yet you called yourself my archnemesis. You are not even supposed to be in the top 500 list of Mafia Lords.” Black said as Klaus kicked him and said,

“Do you really think that I was going to fight you sqaurely. That was your mistake.” He said as Black saw an opening and took it distracting him as he was able to send him to the ground and his knuckles fell off as they rolled on the ground before Klaus kicked him and reached for the gun nearest to him and said,

“Well are you brave now? You move. And I am going to make sure that you died. Infact all of you are going to die.” Klaus yelled as he brandished the gun in the air pointing at Nycole and Black.

“Hey pretty girl. Step away from the rope.” He said to Casita who dropped the rope she was holding and stepped backwards.

“Don’t worry kids, I promise you all will get out of here safely. I don’yt know where you kidnapped the boy from, but he is coming with me too.” Black said referring to Nycole as Klaus burst out laughing,

“It seems there is a lot you do not know. The boy over here is my brother and he is the one who helped bring your sister straight into my hands. He is on my side. Don’t you get it.” He said as he pointed the gun at Nycole.

“Please brother, let them go. I will stay behind, just let them go. I am begging you.” He said pleadingly but his brother just shook his head and said,

“All of you will die here. Starting with you, little brother. Say hello to dad for me.” He said as he pressed the trigger as Casita screamed and jumped in front of Nycole as Black shouted in anguish grabbing a knife and injuring Klaus’s hand who was too slow to get away.

“Casita, open your eyed. What did you just do?” Nycole yelled as he shook Casita. She was bleeding a lot and it wasn’t looking good.

****************************************

“She’s dropping, her pulse is going down, someone get the calibrator.” A paramedic said as he fixed in Casita’s oxygen tube.

“I got a lady in her teens. Broken bones, swellings, and a couple of pretty bad bruises, she appears to shot and is losing a lot of blood.
“Have they contacted her next of kin, yet?”

“Not yet, we will do that soon, but now we are on route to the hospital, five minutes out. We also have a boy here, with gunshot wounds in the leg. He has refused to say anything that happened. They were picked up from in front of an abandoned warehouse.” The paramedic said as he set to jumpstart her heart.

“Okay, someone better page, doctor Williams to the hospital, we got a victim.” The operator said as the ambulance pulled into the parking lot and some nurses were already waiting to usher the body to the operating room.

The paramedic went to the counter and dropped the stuffs collected from the accident scene and said.

“Please, this are the things of Miss Casita. Her ID card, and other personal effects are here, call the next of kin, and inform them of the situation at hand.” The paramedic said as the nurse nodded her head.

“Sure thing Josh I will do that now.” The nurse replied as she took the phone and looked for numbers to call in case of emergency.

“Wait a minute, this lady is familiar don’t you think so? Her name rhymes with the same name of that wealthist family in city. The one with the Biggest Industry, Mr Black. This is his sister.” One of the nurses said as the other two nurses looked at her and said,

“What?” They yelled in chorus.

UNKNOWN POV’S

“Good morning boss, have you seen the news?” A deep male voice asked as the masked lady picked up the call.

“No, not yet, why what happened.” She asked as she climbed down the stairs.

“Well boss, you better turn on the TV and soon, trust me this will definitely make your day. Klaus was able to deliver.” He said from his end.

“Baby girl, don’t play with that, that is Daddy’s work.” He said while on the phone talking to a little girl in the background.

“Try to learn how to separate from work affairs from family affairs before you get yourself killed.” said The masked lady rolling her eyes as she could hear the tantrums of the little girl.

“Sorry, boss. It won’t happen again, what about my payment. The deed is done.” He continued as he managed to hush his crying daughter.

“It has already been transferred to your account, you will receive a notification soon. I also added a little bonus, as I am feeling very generous.” She said as she sat down on the couch and took her remote beside her.

“Okay, thank you boss, I really appreciate this.” He said as She disconnected the call and switched on the news.

All the news station had only one news on all their channels. Now it blared the sad news of Casita’s gunshot accident and her present unknown state. The press could be seen crowding around the hospital trying to get a statement from the CEO Black but they had been denied entry.

They flocked around the hospital, giving the news of what they know, and they all urged their viewers to remain patient, for they will receive further information from when Black, the big brother of Casita comes out.

The masked lady could be seen drinking a glass of wine, as she watched the news and laughed out loud. This was the kind of news she wanted to be hearing. With Casita out of the picture, she had no business with her exposing her secret and Black and his company will be hers and hers alone. Twirling the glass cup in her hand, she cheered to herself and swallowed it down in one gulp.

“Finally, the bitch and whore Casita is dead, next time she won’t try to cross paths with me.” She said as she stood up to switch off the TV, but what she heard next stopped her in her tracks.

“…and we have just heard from a very reliable source that the CEO’s sister is indeed not dead, after going through such a serious accident. She seems to be floating over, but the doctors have confirmed a pulse. The rest is in the hands of God, whether she will ever wake up, or become the second sleeping beauty. Stay tuned for more information.” The newscaster said as she screamed.
