Jessica’s POV
The other man wasn’t saying anything, he signaled them to untie me and they did, my shoulder felt so weak and battered, they all dropped their guns on the floor, then it happened, I heard the second before I felt myself being held and thrown over the roof, how I become so close to the roof I don’t know.
The wind whistled in my ears, my hair covered my face, I felt someone embraced me tightly as I fell no we fell, air was knocked out of my lungs when we fell and we bumped, my head was throbbing badly and my ears ringing, the last thing I saw before darkness took me was Xavier’s pale face.
Xavier’s POV
I stood behind the tank there loading my bullets, they were saying something to Jessica I couldn’t grab but I can see her face due to the nightshade and I know whatever they are saying isn’t good.
I took the second man down and took over his place,
“Get rid of her and make it look like suicide ”
I felt as if my breath was stolen from me, I started thinking fast on my next plan, as God may have it, one of them came close to me and I grabbed him immediately,
“Touch her and I will blow his brains out”
All of them turned towards us in shock, the guards were the first to react, not bad,
“Let her go or I won’t hesitate to shoot”
They still had their guns pointed at me, I had my eyes trained on them and Jessica, they looked at me till the one that appeared to be the leader signalled them to untie her, and they proceeded to do so,
“Mr Xavier, the police are done with the preparation ”
I was relieved then tense again, I held the man, they were done untying her, she stood up immediately to come over to my side when I noticed the man signaled on a guard who brought out his gun to shoot at her, I have never been fast in my life, I pushed the man I was holding and immediately went to Jessica, the gun went off immediately and I and Jessica fell.
I felt the pain on my back, it burned my lungs, my throat felt clogged, I couldn’t scream, it felt hard to, we fell down and seeing Jessica okay just passed my body succumbed to the pain, I blacked out.
Noise, beeping noise, harsh breathing, more noise was all I could think and feel, I tried to open my eyes, the light rays was too much but I still struggled to, I could map out someone’s frames, it’s blurry but I could still see it a little,
“Xavier, stay with me, xa….. er, sta…. me”
I was trying to understand what they were saying but I couldn’t, it was so loud and my eyes were heavy,
“Pl….. stay with me, ple…. se”
A warm hand held me and I tried to squeeze to assure the person am going to be alright but I couldn’t summon strength to my hand, I felt weak really weak, I felt a drop of water or what I presumed to be water fell in my left eye and when I closed my eyes to blink my eye remained shut.
Jessica’s POV
There were blood, I blacked out for a minute when we fell, and when I came to, they were loading Xavier into the ambulance, my cloth were bloody from when he held me, I rushed towards his side ignoring my own dizzy spells, he was all I could see at the moment, his face were pale, his lips turning blue, they were performing resuscitation on him, my heart sank,
“C…. Come on, come on! Xavier!!”
“He is breathing, let’s go, fast”
The female paramedic said, I jumped into the vehicle with them, they let me, once we arrived, they started taking him to the OR , he opened his eyes midway and I held his hand in an effort to let him know am there with him and he will be fine.
They stopped me from following them at the waiting area, I was beside my self, I couldn’t hear anything, I started hyperventilating,
“Mrs McCartney, we got the people involved, the police agreed to close these case at once but we need the evidence you guys gathered ”
I became angry, I would not let those evil people go Scot free, I will make them pay, I cleaned my eyes from any tears,
“Go to the station, am coming I need to freshen up”
“Okay, we will be waiting ”
I set out to my house immediately, I took a taxi
“I want you to take me to the A district police station when I come out again, don’t worry will pay for your time”
“Sure ma’am ”
I freshened up, wore the gown Xavier bought for me, applied my make up, I didn’t drive because I know all I have now is borrowed courage, I took all the files we got on those fools and Blac texted me the pictures and files they got (I have already texted him when I was in the taxi).
The Crime department was in chaos when I arrived, the fools called their so called lawyers, but no amount of lawyers can beat the evidence we have,
“Am telling you my client isn’t involved, he is a collateral damage, he didn’t know what his friends planned”
“You can’t take my client without evidence, release him or I sue you”
They were really trying hard for the peanuts they are given, too bad I wouldn’t allow it,
“Everyone of you shut the fuck up!!!”
The whole place became calm immediately, I took out the files and slammed it in the table in front of them, they flinched,
“Your clients are innocent?, haa, you want to let them off? Never not on my watch, as long as my husband is there fighting for his life, you are will rot in jail and I will make sure the whole world knows how evil you all are”
The leader took the files and went out and in the next few minutes, he came back with an arrest warrant,
“Arrest all of them, four people follow me to search their offices and houses, the rest arrest everyone listed here”
It was chaos all around the town.
