Chapter 395: Instead!
The countdown continues.
It was currently at 6 minutes when the car slowed down in front of 'Grab your coffee’. Grey gaze searched around after Jimmy had blinked the light twice but there was no sign of Emily.
"Emily is kidding me," he groaned softly. He wasn't angry but he was slowly seeping into frustration. If Emily was keeping the great Hercules waiting, then she would get punished for it.
His phone made a sudden beep and a message popped up on his phone. It was from Emily and it read, "Please, come inside. One of the men won't let me leave."
Grey looked up, at the glass display as if to catch a glimpse of Emily. She was in danger and he had to help her.
The time was currently 3 minutes.
Grey looked at Jimmy. "I'm entering the shop," he announced and opened the door.
Just as Grey got out, Jimmy also hurried out. "Should I come as well?"
Grey shook his head briefly. "You don't have to worry. I can handle it."
Jimmy nodded and watched Grey for a moment before he moved closer to the car. He was barely at it, only a few hairbreadths away when the car blew off.
Grey was forced to a sudden stop. Though he was far away, he could still feel the heat against his skin. He turned towards his car but that wasn't what he was met with. Damaged metal and destroyed parts
were where his perfectly clean car was. And the displeasing matter was that Jimmy was on the floor out of consciousness. NôvelDrama.Org content.
People had started to gather around but Grey couldn't even move. It felt as though something had glued his feet to the floor.
Emily rushed out and stood beside Grey for a moment. A gasp escaped her as she stared hard at Jimmy. "What!" She exclaimed softly and looked away. "There," she whispered and pointed.
They were in the midst of a crowd now and the ambulance was around. The health worker gathered around Jimmy and Grey was watching them but he couldn't move.
Emily tapped him again, an urgency to her movement." There, boss!" She gestured ahead.
At this moment, Grey followed the path of her hand movements until he was looking at a red car standing off in the street, with the window down and a guy looking at them. Though, Grey knew it wasn't at them but at Jimmy and his car.
"That car has been tailing you. Those men have been following you. Could they have implanted a bomb in your car?" Emily's question jolted Grey out of his thoughts and he jumped forward, after the ambulance.
"Wait!" Emily called after. She was bothered. If the men saw that Grey wasn't dead, they might go after him but he wasn't even bothered about it.
Emily rushed to stand in front of him. "Wait and hear me out! *She said adamantly.
Grey wasn't looking at her but past her. "Let me go. If you don't, it will be to your disadvantage because I would eventually be able to go. I will push you off and make you suffer for defiling my order!" He threatened thickly, with something of emotion that Emily couldn't decipher.
"It doesn't matter what you do to me, boss but I won't let you go."
The ambulance sped off before Grey could react to Emily.
"We have to go, boss! Anything could be happening anywhere! I have my car over there, we could ride in that."
Grey nodded once and followed her to the car that was slightly being protected by the crowd.
A lot of people have gathered around now, and a lot of cars were pulled to a stop so they could attend to the emergency.
Everyone was so shocked at the bomb. And while some people started to pity, some could only watch the drama unfold.
"lam going after the ambulance. I need to know where Jimmy was taken to," he whispered and his voice trembled.
Emily released a sigh. "Alright, we can do that but we have to make sure the car leaves before we do that. You need to get treated as well."
Grey didn't answer, not that he didn't want to but he was suddenly thinking. He suddenly had a lot on his mind. He was fucking a few minutes away from the car. He could have been the one in the car. No! He would have been! He would have been bombed!
He looked down at himself and realized that his clothes were affected by the bomb.
Fortunately, the car watching them speed off.
Emily smiled and looked at Grey. "Let's go," she said but
Grey was too lost in his thought to reply. She poked him and he finally responded by looking at her. "Let's go. I'm driving," she repeated and got into the driver's side.
Grey also got into the passenger seat.
Emily started the ignition. She drove after the ambulance, though it was a bit far from them.
"This was actually what I wanted to tell you. I saw the men this morning. I was going to get a cup of coffee this morning when I saw you and then, them. I thought it was a coincidence, so I told someone to watch out for me. Guess what, they confirmed my fear," she explained.
"Why did you call me into the shop? If I had been a little late, I would have been in the car when it blew off." Emily sighed. "I had some guys who wouldn't let me go. This was why I called you."
"I should have allowed Jimmy to follow me! I should have!" He muttered with anger. He was starting to break down and it wasn't good. He was supposed to be Hercules but was he supposed to lose people he loved because he was Hercules?
"It's not your fault actually."
"Actually, it's my fault!" He yelled, hitting his hand hard against the window and not even bothered about it even though the pain riveted through his body.
He could barely notice anyways when the pain he was feeling in his heart was greater.
