C3 Sudden Attack
CHAPTER 3
(Sudden Attack)
“So here is the plan; we are all nine in number, which is a very good number. The mansion is having a total of four entrances and exit likewise. The first entrance is the main gate, which faces the east, while an underground exit is situated at the far end of the building, outside the fence in the south.
Those two places are the most important route for escape; the other entrances are not really a path of safety, because we can easily get to them through it. But mind you, the main entrance is always heavily guarded, while few men are placed in the other entrances/exits. But the underground passage way isn’t guarded. However someone still needs to stand guard, in case it turns out bad.
“I think Autumn is good for the job, boss. Looking at the environment, the southern part of the building is located in the woods. Her climbing skills won’t fail her” Bruce chipped in as she nodded
“You have gotten your role Autumn, you know what to do.”
“Yes boss..”
“Kelvin….your position will be on the tower, few meters away from the building. It’s an uncompleted building; you will be on stand post”
“Sure boss” Kelvin replied, with a playful smirk. He loves being kept away from the battle ground, instead, being with the sniper, watching to get a prey, and order to kill.
“Moonlight and Wizard will distract the guards at the western gate, while Jade and Mica will take that of the opposite. Jayden’s work is to communicate with us on how things are working out, using the drone, or possibly hack into their CCTV system.
Jayden could be seen smiling, as he sent a wink towards Mica. She rolled her eyes
“I and Bruce will take the main entrance” She muttered lastly
“Are we taking them captive?” Jade asked, referring to their target.
“I have not decided on that yet, but their quick response to whatever questions thrown at them, will determine. His family might not even know his location; but we gotta try our luck, and see how we would nab him without giving out a single clue.
“Any more questions” She asked, looking at each one of them as they shook their head negatively
“Good, I believe we are all satisfied with that, we will move tomorrow night. We got a whole 24 hours to prepare; no mistakes” She gritted, thumping her fist on the table, before walking out of the room.
“We all heard the Boss…Kelvin, make sure you get all our equipment ready. You can get some trainees to get them stuffed in the van. We would be leaving in mass this time; Jayden, get the van ready, you will be working from there remember?” he said as Jayden nodded
“Words!” Bruce yelled
“Yes sir”
“Better” he snorted before leaving the room. Wizard followed afterward, not saying a word, same as Moonlight.
“Gosh..those two are really weird” Jayden spoke up, referring to the last duo. Autumn shrugged watching Jade who was still viewing the screen but seem not to be paying any attention to what was projected. She was deep in thoughts, as her mind was way far off.

9AM
A room could be seen in view, well organized, clean and spacious to the taste of the young guy, who laid on the king size bed, enjoying his peaceful sleep before the ringing of his phone jolted him back to reality.
“Damn…” he cursed, rubbing his eyes, more like he was trying to get off the sleep in it. He yawned loudly, stretching his arms wide before kicking the blankets of his body.
“Who the hell is calling by this time in the morning, can’t they get some sleep” he mumbled to himself, deciding to ignore the call, till it hung up.
He sighed, slumping back on the bed as he tried recollecting the dream he was having before the arrogant soul decided to wake him up. He racked his brain hard for a moment to get the exact scene which got him more excited. He could remember seeing a blur figure of a beautiful lady who was standing across the street, giving him a mesmerizing smile.
But all of a sudden, he heard gunshot, from afar off, making everyone to go into panic. He returned his gaze back to the beautiful angel but couldn’t get the sight of her, she might have mingled with the crowd, he thought. He was about going to search for her, when his phone rang. He hissed again, silently cursing the fellow who called.
He wished he had seen the girl’s face properly, but it was too late. And just as he was about going back to sleep, the phone’s ringing tune jolted him
“What the f**k” he groan, picking it up as he answered it without checking the caller
“Hey..where the hell did you keep your phone, I have been calling for ages now” his friend’s voice, screamed into his ear. He was forced to pull it off for a sec.
He sighed, rubbing his temple
“And why the call this early morning, Jothan” He scoffed
“What early? Guy…I think you need to check the time…it’s freaking nine o’ clock..wait don’t tell me you are still in bed…Evans”
“What…” Evans yelped; his eyes wandering to the wall clock. He jumped out of bed, holding the phone steadily so as not to make it slip off
“Seriously….guy…you are a sucker”
“You don’t get it…I mean..I can’t believe it's almost time for my flight”
“Sure…why will you, and the fact that I have been wasting my time here, calling you, and all you do is ignored my calls.” Jothan snapped; he rolled his eyes.
“Look Jothan..thanks so much for waking me up, but I will just call you back ok..love you” he rushed his words.
“Just keep that to your future girlfriend idiot…” Jothan resorted, hanging up. He let out a sigh, ruffling his hair as he heads for the bathroom.

EVANS
“Excuse me….excuse me” I muttered in a gentle manner as I made my way to the bus station. The street is unusually rowdy this morning; though life in Los Angeles has always been this way. Everyone, heading out to their work places, the cabs working overtime, onlookers minding their businesses….and…
“Hey…catch that thief…he stole my pail” A robust woman shouted, running out of her shop, as she tried to attract attention from the people. A young teenager could be seen running with something in a plastic bag, as some street assholes that don’t have a job ran after him.
They pulled him by the shirt, while the woman struggled to collect the bag from him.
“Please…I’m sorry..I only wanted it for my girlfriend” The boy muttered, trying to free himself from their grip, but that would only worsen the matter.
And that was what I was about saying; the poor little teenagers finding their ways in the crowd to steal anything they lay their hands on. For God’s sake, what does he wanna do with a pail?
But that’s not my problem now; I tap my feet repeatedly checking the time as we all wait for the bus to arrive, which it did almost immediately.
I’m having just 30 minutes more before takeoff. I need to get to the terminal on time.
A brief introduction; I’m Evans Marshal, son of..gosh…a Mafia Lord, well can I really call myself a son. Nope, because they don’t take me as one, but his blood still runs in my vein though, and when I mean ‘they’, I’m talking about my step mum and her son.
I’m 23 years of age, a professional artist; though I’m yet to graduate from school, but I’m perfect in what I do. Right now, I’m going back to a place I call home, even if it doesn’t sound like it. My dad’s family resides in Ohio, a bit far from here, so taking a flight is appropriate.
The bus stopped at my destination as I hurried off it, running towards the terminal.

2:30PM
(Marshal Mansion)
“Welcome back young master” The body guards greeted as I entered into the mansion
“Hey buddies…is mum in?” I asked one of them, who gave me a nod. I heave a sigh, trying to calm my nerves before stepping in
“Where the hell is my lemonade?” I heard her annoying voice coming from the living room. That woman is one hell of a lady
“Coming Ma’am” muttered a maid
“Juliet….you need to come check this out…”
“Come on mum…I’m damn busy here…and what…who the hell do we have here. The long time prodigal son…huhn” She smirked, on seeing me. I tried not to maintain eye contact with her
“Good afternoon…mum..”
“Who the hell is your mum?” she snapped, I tried rolling my eyes, but damn, I can’t find myself doing that.
“Who are you talking to Juliet” Grannie Louis voice sounded from the dinning room. She is her mother
“It’s Evans…” She muttered, taking a sip from the lemonade brought to her by the mai
“F**k…fine…good afternoon ma’am..are you ok with that” I scoff, already getting frustrated
“Are you talking to me that way…huhn…” She snapped.
“And what the hell are you back for?”
“The last time I checked, this is also my house” I resorted
“No..no..no..you know what you are…you are nothing but a f**king bastard. I wonder why George still calls you his son, after being deceived by that slut you call a mother….”
I didn’t wait for her to continue her rants; I gently climbed up the stairs towards my room to avoid excavating the matter.
~~~~~
Night time~
Sitting at the dinning with four annoying eyes staring at me isn’t helping matters at all. Won’t these women just leave me alone for goodness sake, huhn. I scoff, concentrating on the food and my phone as well. Jothan’s message entered immediately
“Hey Bro….how was your journey”
“It wasn’t that stressful” I texted back
“So…what was your step mother’s reaction on seeing you?” “Oh…she looked pissed, more like she doesn’t want me to come back..but damn…I ain’t gonna give her the chance to mock me over” I replied. He sent a laughing emoji, as I chuckled. It was then I noticed the old woman in room, clearing her throat
“Table manners Evans” She stated, in more like a motherly voice this time “Oh..ok..” I muttered, dropping the phone. Juliet’s eyes could bore hole with the way she was staring. We continued eating in silence not until we heard sounds of gunshot, outside the building. The atmosphere became tensed as a guard ran in looking anxious, he was gasping for breath.
“Ma’am we need to leave now…we are under attack from some gangs” he rushed his words, pointing to a secret passage way.
“What…but how?” Juliet asked
“We have no time Ma’am.. We have informed the boss already. We need to leave”
“Come on Juliet….let’s get out of here….” Grannie muttered, dragging her hand as I followed suit, my heart thumping out of my chest.
“We are taking the underground route…come on” the guard shouted, leading the way. And just as we were about entering the room where the entrance is, the door to the main entrance opened, as men in black mask stepped in. In a twinkle of an eye, the four guards leading us were down, leaving the maids around to scurry to their own safety.
I felt my legs giving way to the ground, as a heavy punch landed on my face. My vision became blurry as I watched two of them drag the women back to the living room.
“Get your hands off me…you bastard” Juliet’s voice rang out in my ear, but I was too weak to even look up. She was clearly struggling with who was pulling her.
Grannie Louis could be heard crying profusely, while I writhe in pain. I struggled to keep my stance, but another punch gave way, this time, landing on my stomach.
“Argghh” I groan, the pain weakening my whole system
The sounds of Juliet shouting her way out, suddenly died down, as the clicking sound of a lady’s heel was all I heard, and the silent whimper from their sobs
