Right in front of him, Chance was shot for the third time, and tears came out of Chance’s eyes as he opened his mouth and gasped hurtfully..
“Denzel… Denzel… Sav… e… me”
_______
Tiger’s eyes flashed various sparks immediately, and his skin turned cold even before he started running to him.
“Chancellor!!!” He screamed madly, going on his knees then sliding that way to catch him.
Chance fell in his arms unconsciously, and he almost started crying immediately he felt his limpness.
“No, no please…. Chancellor!!! Chancellor!!!!” He screamed, his voice echoing into the night as Toyota rushed into the house with Taylor and Lambo.
“F**k!” Lambo spat.
“Chance!!!” Taylor rushed to Tiger who was still hugging Chance’s limp body.
“Chance, open up bastard! Chance!!!!”
Toyota entered the bathroom, her gun in place as she coordinated all the angles at the same time.
The gunshot came this time, and the bullet missed her, ramming into the wall instead.
She did an handstand to the other side of the bathroom, then she did another one, slamming herself on the glass to break it.
The shatters rained on the ground, and she jumped out of the room, not minding the wounds she sustained from the glasses.
She ran out of the apartment, and Lambo followed her immediately.
Taylor followed suit, and they all started tracing the source of the shot,.
The clan is a mess as it is, everyone running around cautiously, combing every nook and cranny there is.
Meanwhile, Zenith is in the lab, trying to check where things went wrong.
The red beam should have come immediately the intruder entered the clan, but the fact that it came late only means one thing. Someone messed with the systems.
Someone from the clan is surely helping the intruder.
It got so heated that she stood as her fingers became sweaty on the keys, but she kept clicking nevertheless.
Her lids shook when she finally saw what she’s looking for. The trace!
Someone really messed with the systems, and all the records are gone too. Her eyes widened so much as she kept clicking that button , thinking she’s not clicking well, but it’s still the same till the twentieth click.
“F**k!!!!” She screamed, raising her leg to the screen. She kicked it with her boot, and it crashed down, then lifted it and smashed it angrily on the ground, destroying the wires angrily.
She got her gun and ran out of the lab, and Jezebel came out of her hiding place.
She smiled victoriously and got her gun too.
“It’s almost in ruins” she muttered devilishly and ran out of the lab too.
Despite the mad search, they couldn’t get their hands on anyone.
It’s indeed a clean job, and the fact that whoever it is came in and wounded a gang member easily drove Toyota so mad that she started shooting in every direction, not minding who got hit.
The trainees and guards around her ran to safety, hiding their heads from her bullets as she kept shooting till the last bullet, then she punched the nearest wall in blind anger, her eyes blazing with rage. The redness is an obvious evidence.
“Stop the search, gather in the field, everyone” she ordered, and everyone started rushing to the field.

NAVAL HOSPITAL~SICILY
“I’m sorry, but we can’t attend to him without knowing the source of the bullets, it’s the rule here” the doctor in charge of the ER said when Chance was wheeled in.
“He’s dying, he’s f**king going!” Tiger yelled impatiently, his eyes so bloodshot.
“I’m sorry sir, but…
He drew his gun immediately, placing the cold metal on the doctor’s head, and the old mad began shivering.
“If he dies, you’re gone, I swear to gawd! Bring him back! F**king do it!!!’ he yelled crazily.
“T.. take… take him in” the doctor ordered, and Chance was wheeled into the ER
Tiger went in with the doctor while Jaemin stood outside the ward, watching for any foul play.
He suddenly sighted a nurse slithering into a corner, and he smirked before walking there quietly.
He met her dialling a number, and immediately she talked, he knew what she’s up to. The cops!
“Hand over that phone, right now!” He ordered, and she froze as his gun reached her head.
The phone fell from her shaky hands, and she followed the phone, falling on her butt.
“Please d… don’t kill…
Jaemin kicked her into the nearest room, and he locked the door before going back to the ward door.
Meanwhile, three doctors are in with Chance, and he’s currently receiving shocks with the defibrillators.
As Tiger watched his rising and falling chest, he couldn’t help but remember their childhood days.
“Mum, what’s the name of the baby in your stomach?” Little Chance asked, rubbing Mrs Thorne’s protruding belly.
The beautiful woman is busy folding the clothes she just got from the drying line, she’s sitting on the bare ground, and eight years old Tiger is behind her, tying her hair into a bun. He has always been fond of hairs .
“What would you love to name him?” Mrs Thorne asked, taking a break from the clothes to stroke Chance’s hair.
“Him? No I want a girl this time, not a jerk like Denzel” he pouted.
“Can you stop calling me a jerk? I hate you too” Denzel replied from behind the mother.
“You boys should not start arguing again, ok it’s a girl, and we’re naming her Heather” she said.
“Yes! I love you mum!” Chance hugged her tightly, and she laughed as she hugged her back.
“Such a baby” Tiger smiled, sparing the door a glance.
Their dad is standing there, smiling at the scene.
“Dad” he smiled, and the man’s smile grew wider as he came closer and hugged the mother too.
Tiger joined the hug, and their smiles melted into their souls.
Tiger hardened his jaws. To think that their mother didn’t even get to give birth to Heather before she was murdered, and now Chance is at the brink of dying too.
He ran to the bed and got between the doctors, and immediately he saw he’s still unconscious, he fell on his knees and held his hand.
“Chancellor, per favore, prometto di smettarla di fare lo stronzo (I promise to stop being a jerk) please come on” he lamented gently.
“We promised to revenge our parents death together, remember? So please… Chancellor…
“Chancellor!!!”
From the door, Toyota is watching. She came with Taylor some minutes ago.
She was rolling her eyes about as she stared, so it’s difficult to identify her real emotions till she left the door, and a doctor came out with the bullets that was removed from Chance’s body.
The three were handed to Taylor in a foil.
“He came back, thankfully” he said.
“Let’s leave” Toyota told Taylor, and she ran after her quickly.
They rode back to the clan.
