Chapter 21 - Linda is caught

The place became chaotic at once as the police officers came over. They begun shooting and the black circle fired back at them. Linda felt lost all of a sudden and when she couldn't find Kevin in the chaotic place, she panicked and felt scared instinctively clutching her stomach as if that could protect her child. What has she done. She feared for her life and her child's. But she was the cause of all of these. And where was Kevin. She tried her best to follow Kevin's men. It was understandable if he decided to leave her hear after all she caused all things mess.

The man who has been to talking to Kevin saw Linda in the mist of the chaotic place. Knowing, Kevin knew this lady and Kevin was busy fighting with the police, he felt it as a duty to protect the lady do as to not implicate her in the mess. Besides she was also pregnant. He quickly went to her and shielded her. Then he tried taking her to the bridge and help her cross it to safety. There were several trees and leaves around that area that if you do not know about the bridge, you would never think there would be something like that located in the forest. And that was why they had to be very secretive, once a police gets to know about that bridge, they are toasted. They didn't have any strong foundation in this country and not all the police officers in here knew them so they might be in trouble.

Linda was really thankful to heavens that someone was helping her. She thanked the man and allowed him to help her. As they neared the bridge, a police officer from nowhere popped up and attacked them. Kevin's subordinate pushed Linda to a she place and attacked the police officers back. His bullet was finished and he quickly gave the police a strong kick on his hand holding the gun. This made his grip loosened and the gun fell at a far place. Kevin's subordinate knew he had to kill this man at all cost because they were near to the bridge. The fight was intense with kicks and punches now and then. After the intense fight, the police lifeless body lied on the ground. Kevin's subordinate who was now having blood all over his body turned to help Linda back but to his horror, Linda wasn't and were to be found.

How could his happen. Where did she go? He searched but couldn't find her. Meanwhile most of the people from the blood circle had already crossed the bridge. This man didn't know what to do but he couldn't let Kevin down so he quickly went back to search for her.

Linda rushed to a safe place and threw up everything. She clutched her stomach in pain. The more she watched the fight between the two men, the more she felt nauseated. She new she had to get somewhere far from them but she didn't know where the said bridge was and run around aimlessly. After finding a cool place, she then threw everything out. Feeling a bit better she thought of finding her way back but she saw them.

At a distance from where she was standing, she saw a police aiming his pistol at a certain direction. She turned go that direction and among the thick tall grasses was Kevin. He was hardly noticeable but Linda was sure it was him. She was sure the police couldn't see him well and Kevin on the other hand was oblivious of what was happening. It was just the tall grasses rustling. Fear gripped Linda's heart, she couldn't allow them to shoot or get him but she also couldn't warn him, it will attract the police attention.

She then did the only thing that came in her mind. She begun to make the sounds of a wounded dog. She was good at it and her plan worked. The officer was distracted by the sound causing Kevin to escape. But oh no, the officer was now walking in her direction, she shrieked and tried to escape but fate had other plans for her. She was caught before she could escape.

Kevin looked at his men and sighed in relief. He asked

" is that everyone "

They all nodded and Ron's hand right man ( the man who helped linda ) who had been by Kevin's side during this moment came to him and bowed his head. Then he said in extreme guilt.

" I am very sorry Tiger "

Kevin gave him a bemused expression and asked with a frown

" what are you sorry for "

He continued to bow his head and say

" Tiger, I...I.. deserve to be punished. I couldn't help the woman who was with you "

Upon hearing his words, Kevin frowned deeply. He had not seen Linda and assumed she was gone so what was this guy saying. He asked with a little bit of impatience

" Are you going to stop bearing around the Bush or would you rather I burst your brain with this. "

The man slightly shivered and said

" Tiger, on the way, I saw her and I thought of helping her since she could be considered one us. But a police attacked us and after I was done with the police, she was no where to be found. The.. the last time I saw her, she was caught by an off.... officer. And.... it was too late "

The guy bowed his head in shame thinking he was done for this time. Tiger was definitely going to kill him this time. Meanwhile, Kevin was a little stunned by his subordinates words. How could this happen. Linda was caught by the police. Was this a good news or not. Well he wasn't going to involve himself in this. It sounded ironic, Linda had called them herself but the police weren't able to get any of them but Linda herself. Kevin thought that oh, he had tried helping her but since she got herself in trouble, this had nothing to do with them. But an inner voice yelled at him

" Are you this heartless. Even if she had wronged you before, she is also pregnant, are you going to allow her to stay there "

Kevin also said inwardly to his inner being

" She is rich and probably her husband would free her. If she's not bailed, then it might be karma. Since I have decided to let go, karma is doing it work. Even the heavens don't want her to escape "

After calming himself down, he said indifferently to his men

" Pick up everything and let's quickly leave "

The subordinate who was kneeling stared at Kevin in shock. He never expected this reaction. It was as if Kevin didn't care but he was sure Kevin was close to the woman. What was Kevin trying to do? He dared not ask, Kevin can be terrifying sometimes.
