Chapter 18

LYRA POV

I removed the coat he was wearing and saw his chest fully covered with blood. I unbuttoned his shirt and found a bullet on his right side. It was difficult to remove the bullet because the bullet was not a regular one, it was oval shaped.

"Go save yourself Ly…ra" He was barely audible. I could feel his pain and I made up my mind to not leave him there.

"I'm not leaving you here sir" I said to him. I found the bullet and touched the area the bullet had hit. This was not going to be easy. I looked back at the table and saw Loren picking up that woman.

She must have fainted due to shock. I knew about this because this same thing has happened to me. I ran up to the table and the huge Chandeliers were all over the table.

All the fruits on the table were scattered around and I found what I was looking for. I picked up the knife which was laying on the ground and saw a butter cutting knife in the corner of the room.

I ran up to the man. I can do this, I said to myself. He would not make it if I didn't remove the bullet. I have to be very careful to not hurt his nerves.

I checked the bullet around his chest. I tore my dress from down and made a small ball out of it and stuffed it in his mouth. I did not have time to ask for his approval.

I took a butter knife and made a light lining. I can't push the knife deep inside the body, it will definitely do much damage because the knives were not sanitised.

"You can Lyra" I whispered to myself. You can't Lyra, a voice whispered back. The owner of my voice was just me. My eyes started to water.

"Just don it" The man laying on the floor said and I followed his words. I put the tip of the knife in his body and in one Swift the bullet was out of his body. I quickly tied cloth around his wound.

Once again I tore my dress and made sure to bandage the wound around the chest. At this rate he would at least have some time before he reports to the hospital.

"Run Lyra, it's time you should leave" He said and I completely ignored him. Anyway I was going to die. I helped him get up but it was not possible. He was just so heavy compared to my small size.

"LYRAA" I heard Loren's voice at a distance. I turned back to see Loren because he was in the same room as us but I didn't find Loren in the same place. They both must have ran out. Then from where Loren was shouting.

The man I was with Removed a walkie talkie from his pocket. I didn't know he was having that with himself.

"Jacob here, Lyra is in the Main Dining Room" He said through the walkie talkie.

"And he is injured, bring the doctor with you" I shouted before Jacob could end the call. Jacob needed medical attention. He stared at me in fear.

So his name was Jacob. He still looked weak but the way he was presenting himself didn't look like he was injured. I picked up the bullet which hit him for no reason.

I helped Jacob to stand and with my help he stood up. He was standing with the support of the wall.

I saw Marco enter the room first. He had a huge gun in his hand, his eyes were trained on me. I saw him load the gun. Will he fire on me, he doesn't like me anyway? I smiled at him.

After he entered. Loren entered behind him and I was relieved at least Marco would not kill me in front of Loren. Both of them were wearing a black vest on their chest.

Not after long I saw Stepheno enter inside and behind him another four men. All had guns in their hands, even Loren. I bet these people are robbers.

Robbers rob and make themselves rich. Now all the points were connected. Loren and Stepheno were all robbers.

"You will surely get me chopped Lyra" Jacob said standing beside me. I didn't pay much attention to him. Loren rushed to me and picked me up in his arms.

"Little Heart" (Маленькое сердце) Loren said in Russian which was something I hated about this language. People should speak only one language. It's easier that way.

He hugged me for a whole minute and It was embarrassing in front of so many people in the room. He put me down and checked me from up to down. I was so shy under his gaze.

"What happened to your dress?" He asked. In the middle of the attack this was the first thing that came to his mind. I'm beyond impressed by his hospitality. I looked at my dress and it was way too short compared to the length I was wearing.

"I made a bandage for Jacob with my dress" I told him the truth. Loren looked at Jacob and quickly Jacob diverted his eyes.

Loren said something under his breath which was in Russian. All understood except me. Can't he speak something which I can understand.

"We need to get out of here Boss" One of the men in black said and Loren nodded his head in understanding. He removed his vest and then his jacket and tied the jacket around my waist.

He then made me wear the vest he was wearing earlier. Marco passed the extra vest he brought with himself. Two men were helping Jacob to wear the vest as well.

"Marco, check the passage" Loren commanded and Marco was quick to obey him. I looked at Stepheno and he looked worried. I wanted to talk to him but before that Loren pulled me by his side.

"You will stay behind me Lyra" Loren said and I replied with a yes. Marco was giving us directions using his fist. If his fist closed then we would stop if he opened his fist then we would move.

We were taking a hidden path. It was like an underground passage. The lights were so dim. Loren was holding me just too close to his chest and I had the urge to run my hands across his chest.

"Boss, three on the left," Marco said. I looked at Loren confused.

Marco was so ahead of us because he was giving us the direction of the area which we were about to reach. We were at the end of the passage and there were two paths from here.

"He is not using a walkie talkie, " I asked Loren and he smiled at me.

"It's Bluetooth Lyra, " Loren replied pointing in his ears. It was a small button or say a weird device stuffed in his ears which is called Bluetooth.

Stepheno crossed us and went before us with one of the black men. Stepheno went to the left and the other one towards the left.

I heard the sound of two bullets. Didn't Marco say it was three.

"One escaped," I whispered to Loren. My heartbeat was fast by now. What happened to Stepheno then? please keep him safe I prayed.
