In a split second, an idea formed in my head.

No way was I going to let Caleb get hurt.

Ignoring the searing pain that surged through my body, I fought to rise to my feet and Locked my gaze on the gun clasped in Marley’s hand.

With gritted teeth, I tapped into the hidden reservoir of strength within me.

It was the first time I unleashed this power in Caleb’s presence.

Bang!

Marley squeezed the trigger, and the deafening sound of a gunshot echoed through the air.

To the average bystander, the bullet whizzed by too swiftly to be discerned.

Yet, to me, it unfolded in slow motion, each detail crystal clear.

It was as if time itself had slowed to a crawl.

I honed in on that singular bullet, my focus unwavering.

And in the next heartbeat, it veered off course, deflected away from us.

Unfortunately, the bullet found its mark in Tom’s midsection.

“Ah…”

A soft gasp escaped Tom’s lips as he stared at me, his eyes filled with incredulity, before collapsing onto the floor.

Exhausted and spent, I crumbled weakly to the floor, my energy depleted.

Caleb rushed to my side, his strong arms enveloping me in a protective embrace.

“f@ck! What’s going on?”

The abrupt turn of events sent shockwaves through Marley, her grip on the gun betraying her faltering control.

Without a second thought, she fired off two more rounds in quick succession.

Bang!

Bang!

A cacophony of gunshots pierced the air, followed by the collective thud of guards collapsing to the floor.

The ammunition in Tom’s gun depleted rapidly, leaving him defenseless.

The guards encircled us, their combined efforts finally subduing

Marley’s feverish frenzy.

Peace settled as the chaos subsided.

Gazing at Tom, sprawled amidst the crimson pool, I mustered my feeble voice.

“Caleb, I need to speak with Tom urgently.

Please help me get to him.

I had an urgent inquiry, one that demanded answers before I could attain even a semblance of peace.

“But you’re badly hurt.

Shouldn’t we rush you to the hospital first?”

Caleb questioned, concern etched on his face.
