Chapter 61
ANGIE
It was an attack!
The cartel had been attacked by the enemies.
It was an open fire between some kind of foreign group and our group’s members.
Everyone of us sprinted out of the cubicle rooms with a hope to dash out of the bondage which served as house for us.
I can confidently say this; some of the girls in the house, never stepped their legs out of the powerhouse.
We call the place where Damien had caged majority of us, as a powerhouse because, Damien brought it to our awareness that only the people being present in the powerhouse would live longer, a life free from insecurities, and starvation.
Damien would not allow anyone to leave the powerhouse.
You have to pay a sum of fourteen million dollars so as to pay up for the food, shelters and security.
I knew, you might say we are stupid for not trying to escape, but I’ll bring it to your knowledge that unless you’re thinking to die in a grusome manner with your friend, don’t dare it!
“Arrg!”Came the distinct scream. I nipped to see one of us, slumping to the floor, red substances spilling from her thick arms.
I watched her trying to crawl on the marbles of a floor. She has almost succeeded, which made me to be relieved but then the worst of my scenes came happening at that moment as she slumped to the floor when a bullet had pierced through her neck.
“Pursue them!”
“Do not allow any one of the girls to go out of the house! Kill the enemies also!”The voice instructed.
This is the right time for me to run, and also save those foetus.
I was going to run out of the room when Karl cornered me.
His stare at me were not speaking peace, it was as if I was his enemy.
I feigned ignorance as if he not existing. I tried to walk away but he fired the gun in his hands, the bullet flew past my cheeks, I felt a stinging pain cutting through me.
I panicked, unsure of what to do at that moment.
“One more step, and your blood will flow on the dusty marble floor.” His stern voice rang through my ears.
“Your hands above your head!”
I heeded to his command, and just waited patiently for him to come a little closer to me.
While he was behind me, he pressed the nozzle of the gun against my ass, grabbing my neck backwards. His tongue runs profusely against my napes. I felt a sharp pain at my neck.
He injected me.

“Don’t do this!”I tried to say but words were not coming out of my mouth. They were glued to my throat.
He puts me in a freezer, handcuffing me.
“It’d be my delight to sleep with your frozen body.” He spat on my face before slamming the refrigerator door.
I tried to pull back the door but it was as if there wasn’t any strength left in my body as my hands became heavy and stilled.
The temperature was a little cold, not that cold.
“Goddammit!” I prayed, a helper locate me very soon.

Author’s POV
As Karl already placed Angie inside a freezer, he ran out to Leo.
Just right at the entrance, they placed bomb.
They followed the back door which leads to an underground passage. While they were in the tunnel, they pressed a remote button which causes a massive explosion.

“Alpha 1, 2. This is Titanic. Suspect not in view.” The police officer spoke over the phone.
The FBI was the one who had led the attack on Damien’s powerhouse.
“Over there,”One of the policeman pointed.
Salem was seen standing at an entrance, with is palm stuck to the wall.
“Fuck!” He slammed his feet harder on the floor.
“What about Karl?”Salem questioned when the police officer arrived by his side.
The expressions on his face pulled into another state of displease. He shoved his hands forward, grabbing the police officer by his collar.
“What do you mean, you lost them?”
“You’ve got just twenty seconds to let go of my shirt, or…”
“Or what?”Salem questioned, half interrupting the policeman.
“You know, this could lead you to jail. Locking up a police officer is termed harassment.”” The police officer whose name was Cutler, spouted, alongside hitting Salem hands off him.
“Harassment my foot!”Salem spat out.
“Since they didn’t see you with us, I presumed you’re safe, and can still help us in the future by bringing us closer to Damien, your uncle.”
“I prayed so.”Salem chorused, turning around only for a knife to cut through his neck.
“Motherfucker!” Leo cursed out.
“Salem is the spy! Salem is the spy I repeat…” He was cut off of his words as bullet lodged through his forehead.
“Why would you have pulled the trigger?”Salem was cautioned by officer Cutler as he ran over to Leo’s body to check if he could still be rescued.
“Shit!”Officer Cutler threw his fist in the air.
“My identity is casted. Help scroll through his phone so I could know whom he was talking to over the line.”
