Chapter 43
The atmosphere in the warehouse was now one of apprehension and anticipation. Alan, Sasha, and the other men with Hendrik had no way to escape the siege. Even if they attacked someone, they would be shot by another man immediately after.
Everyone there believed that this would be the last time they would be in action. While some continued to aim their weapons, others approached with the expression that they were about to engage in physical combat. If that was the case, they still had a chance, but even wearing a bulletproof vest, they couldn't avoid a bullet to the head.
While they were lost in these thoughts, an explosion occurred inside the warehouse. This was the perfect opportunity they had been waiting for to fight for their lives.
Taking advantage of the fact that everyone was startled and some even fell, they grabbed their weapons that were still on the ground and defended themselves. Alan and Sasha hid and started shooting. Some people began to flee because they knew there were flammable materials in the warehouse.
Another explosion came from another position, and Alan started thinking. They hadn't planted the bombs yet, so the explosions couldn't be because of the bombs. The only possibility would be someone shooting at the flammable materials, and Alan thought of Viktor at that moment.
Alan signaled to Sasha, covering her , and the two started heading towards the exit. Soon, everything would be ablaze. Alan spoke through the device, instructing everyone to leave. Gunfire was going off in all directions, and all of Hendrik's team members were trying to stay alive.
Alan was right behind Sasha but was stopped by a guy who started fighting him. Alan defended himself,but the man was taller and more muscular than him and the fire caused by the explosion had already begun to spread, and he needed to get out of there quickly.
The man didn't give Alan any respite and managed to throw him to the ground, pinning him down and trying to strangle him. The position proved to be at a disadvantage for Alan, both in terms of movement and grabbing his knife.
Alan was almost giving up when he felt the blood of that man splashing on his face. Alan managed to push him aside before he fell on top of him. Alan looked to the side and saw Viktor coming towards him with his rifle in hand. His arm seemed injured,but otherwise, he seemed fine.
Viktor approached him,smiled, and winked, offering his hand to help him up. Alan never thought he would say this one day but he accepted Viktor's hand and stood up.
" I know," Viktor replied and threw him a cloth to clean the blood off his face. The two quickly left the scene and met Sasha outside. " Where's Hendrik?" But Sasha shook her head before answering.
" Tobias took him. We need to go back and find him. We have no idea what that idiot can do to him." They left the place, and another explosion occurred in the warehouse. It didn't go as planned,but Tobias drugs had been destroyed in the fire. They would return to Hendrik's house. Emil had to be informed, and they needed to come up with a plan fast. Some of Hendrik's men were injured, and Alan ordered them to be taken directly to the clinic.
While they went through this ordeal, Freya and the other doctor had just come out of the operating room. Freya went to change and received a thanks from the attending physician. She decided that she would go back to Anika's room and then leave.
She passed by the security guard who accompanied her and noticed that he seemed nervous. She was about to ask what had happened when she noticed an unusual commotion in the clinic. Freya asked a passing nurse what was going on.
The nurse explained that some men were arriving to be treated because they were injured in an ambush. Freya felt a knot in her stomach upon hearing that. Hendrik had gone out to do something she didn't know about. The clinic belonged to the Mafia, so it was possible that they were his men.
Freya went to the security and asked if something had happened. He told Freya the truth, saying they had fallen into an ambush. " Take me to Hendrik's house now," Freya asked and didn't even remember going back to Anika's room.
At Hendrik's house,they had already arrived and had already reported to Emil. " How could this happen? Tobias couldn't have known about the plan. Someone must have leaked it to him," Emil was nervous unsure how Hendrik could be in that situation.
While they discussed what had happened, Freya came in running, looking at everyone. " Where is he?" Emil shook his head and looked down.
" We'll bring him back, Freya. I'm sure he's still alive," Alan assured Freya.
" How can you be so sure that he's alive?" Freya was feeling desperate inside.
" That unfortunate sadist wouldn't kill Hendrik that quickly. He probably wants to torture him first. Unfortunately, that's what we're counting on, so we'll have enough time to rescue him."
Freya didn't know if she should feel relieved by that information. It was good to know that Hendrik could be alive, but it was distressing to think that he might be getting tortured at this moment.
Outside the city, in an abandoned power plant, Hendrik took another punch harder than the previous. He was shirtless and his hands were tied up, almost handing. Tobias phone rang, and he stopped what he was doing to answer it.
Tobias answered the phone and became irritated by what he heard. Knowing that the rest of Hendrik's men had managed to escape and that he had lost all of the drugs made him extremely angry. He ended the call and went back to Hendrik, giving him another punch.
" When it's not you, it's your damned dogs causing me trouble. You'll pay a high price for this, Hendrik," Tobias sat down, staring at Hendrik, and pondering how he would explain the lost drugs to his father.
Hendrik remained tied up there,but he was sure that his men would be able to get him out of there, and when he returned he would confirm how the hell Tobias has found out about his plan and even about what he did with Freya, he was already certain, but he would need to confirm his theory accurately to avoid such next time.
