An enemy of my enemy is my friend

Santiago and Mateo decided to continue working on the project, both brothers were proud to say to each other, that it was hectic whenever they met. They acted like they hated each other but their eyes spoke something else.

Late at night while everyone at Santiago's house was fast asleep, the guards standing at the front of the door just swapped positions while the previous guards went to sleep. Men in black break-in, it happened so fast that the guards didn't perceive it.

The intruders slit the throats of Santiago's men who were watching the front door. They went to the gate and opened it, a man dressed also in black with a mask on his face, came in. He came with more men, the mission was to kill Santiago and everyone close to him just like they did his parents years ago.

One of Santiago's guards who had forgotten his torch came back, he saw the intruders and hid behind one of the pillars, he saw that all the guards on duty had been killed. He thought of going to alert the others but it might be too late before he came back, he pulled out his gun and fired at two of the men who broke in, killing them instantly.

The sound of the gun was loud enough to wake everyone up, one of the men fired at him, luckily the bullet hit his hand. Before they could come and finish what they started, a car drove in, and men who had no business with that house came out of the car.

They fired at the men who had earlier intruded. Some of the men had already entered Santiago's house, while some were outside. The guards who had gone to sleep came back, they joined forces with the second intruders.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend, they knew each other very well and they hated each other but they had to put their differences aside first.

Santiago who had heard the sound of the gun with others, had locked Ruth in the bathroom. He begged her not to step out of the bathroom, he took his gun and headed out. He saw Andrew was fighting with one of the intruders, so he rushed to his friend and helped him out.

A series of bullets were exchanged, they had to hide behind something strong enough to take a bullet before firing. Santiago's bullets were running out, he counted the number of bullets left and there were just two. Andrew was far away from him, he couldn't ask for his help.

He was in a tight spot, two of the men were heading upstairs to the bedrooms, and he finished his last bullets on them. Santiago was panting hard, lips agape, he thought of what to do next. If he decides to fight them with his hand then his looking for an early death because they have guns loaded with bullets.

A man was snicking up behind him, he had no idea about this because his focus was on the staircase, the person had a knife raised. Just when he was about to attack his prey, someone shot him, Santiago swiftly turned and saw the man who almost killed him.

He raised his head looking for the person who had saved him, Mateo stood with his gun aimed at him. Both stared at each other for a split second before Mateo gave him a fully loaded gun. They managed to kill everyone who had entered.

But more came in, it's like the person who had come to attack him came with a house full of men. Mateo and Santiago hid behind one pillar, their backs touching each other, they were watching each other back, making sure no one got hurt.

Meanwhile, back in the rooms, the ladies were in tears, except Sofia. Although this scene right now brings back bad memories that have been hunting her since she was a kid, she doesn't let it weaken her.

She was worried about a brother, she wanted to leave the room and help him but she knew she'd only be a bother. The only way to help him is to stay locked up in the room. Dera on the other hand was weeping and praying that God wouldn't take his man away from her, she would die if God took him away from her.

She had held the door nob a million times but she couldn't open it, Andrew had told her not to step outside no matter what, she had to obey him, and she wanted to obey him. She doesn't want to put his life in danger.

Ruth on the other hand, though she had tears on her cheeks, not a single sound left her mouth. She sat on the floor against the bathroom door. She trusted the man she was dating, his is not going to leave her, he was going to fight for her and their baby.

The sounds of the guns don't bother her anymore, she doesn't flinch anymore, she was used to it. She was calm, she wasn't worried. She had faith in both men who were outside, she knew that they'd come back to them.

Meanwhile the maids on the other hand knew better than to get involved with what was happening, they hid in their rooms and waited for everything to be over.

Back outside, Santiago and Mateo had lost a lot of men, but they equally showed their opponent that they were up against strong people. They managed to kill them all, but they stopped coming. But they failed to kill the person behind this, the man with the mask, who had fled the scene a long time ago.

Back in the living room, Mateo shot the last man, he leaned on his brother panting hard. He was tough, he was strong, and he fought with one hand because the other hand had a bullet wound, curtsey of his brother during their last encounter.

"Andrew!" Santiago yelled, he wanted to make sure that he was okay. But he didn't move from where he was standing because of the man leaning behind him.

"I'm fine Santiago, I'll check on the girls," Andrew said.

They were covered in sweat. The men who were able to survive the attack came to the living room to make sure their bosses were okay.
