Henry found himself clenching his fists again. Could he just get this over and done with?
"So close...tsk! Tsk! Tsk!" He mocked.
"No! Wai-!"
This time he saw other trucks pick up speed leaving one behind before-
Boom!
Screech!
They swerved and didn't stop as they continued on after the trucks, one by one, avoiding the burning car. The rescue team was quick to get to work. Henry looked back through the rearview mirror at what seemed like more bodies being retrieved before angrily slamming his fist against the dashboard.
"STOP THIS! LIVES HAVE BEEN LOST!" He screamed.
"Yes, they were lost", the King agreed practically lazily infuriating Henry even more.
"I swear to God, if, no, when I catch you-"
"Yes, and you can only do that if you get it right. Last chance, three minutes." He dismissed him.
"Three minutes", Henry repeated through gritted teeth and slammed the dashboard once more.
"Sir, fifteen casualties have been reported so far", a subordinate reported.
Silence. The King, he had no regard for human life. It was his way or no way at all. It was a game to him and it didn't matter to him if any lives were lost but to Henry and the agents, they mattered. This whole thing was just a game...
Two minutes and six seconds.....
By some miracle, can they put an end to this? Not even Amy could help them in this situation.... A miracle, all they need is some miracle.....
One minute, thirty nine seconds.....
Thinking of the lives lost, they now observed the trucks with vigor. Nothing can be too perfect. There has to be a flaw in this little game... There is always one... They just need to find it...
Fifty eight seconds.....
Some looked at the monitor, the next intersection was way too far. They heard Henry mention three minutes, it would be too late before they reach that point. And it didn't guarantee that the trucks would make any turn. A miracle, please....
Seventeen seconds.....
Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep!
"What the hell?" One subordinate voiced his confusion as he stared up ahead.
Sounds of car horns going off almost at the same time. A commotion was slowly brewing up ahead and some craned their necks to have a better look at the cause.
"This better not be another one of his tricks...", One of them mused.
The trucks shuffled around switching lanes until the cause of the commotion appeared on one of the lanes, in the color midnight black, with loud music blasting off from inside and it's horn going off unceasingly. It was a Lykan Hypersport driving, no, speeding towards them.
"Well, shit", an agent in Henry's car commented, very much infatuated. It was not everyday one would see such a sexy thang roaming the streets!
"I thought I said to clear this route of any civillains!" Henry barked as their car swerved to avoid the eye catching sports car that had what they made out to be unruly teenage boys or spoiled rich kids going joy riding.
"You did....." Someone answered dreamily, ignoring Henry's unhappy state.
The men watched the car whiz by and disappear behind them wishing they were the ones behind the wheel. However, Henry's driver found something that caught his sight.
The 'unruly youngsters' looked awfully familiar especially the one driving. That face.... "Boss-?"
"Time!" The king's laughing voice irritatingly echoed in his ear to remind him of his current reality.
"Five with drugs, two with people and one empty!" Henry quickly shouted.
Silence.
Not again!
"Say that again", he replied a bit more quietly.
Was he in disbelief? Was Henry right? Suddenly feeling confident, he replied with more energy in his tone. "Five with drugs, two with people and one empty."
Silence.
"How?" He asked, shocked and in disbelief. "How!"
"I'll take it I'm right?" Henry smirked, bringing relief to all his men. "Now own up to your end of the deal."
"No! There's no way!" He screamed. "HOW?"
"Should I give you time as well?" He mocked, enjoying how the tables have turned! "When I said I could easily repeat history, you should've trusted me on that because-"
Screeeeeeeeech!
"What are you doing?" Henry's mockery turned into anger as he looked ahead.
The trucks suddenly stopped in the middle of the road making them stop too. The interesting part is that the trucks stopped in an arc, forming a barrier to Henry and his men.
"I know that A.J would not have helped you figure that out but by some miracle, you did! Congratulations, but Henry, when I said I would not let anything compromise my safety, I meant it even if that's you getting lucky in my own game. Rules have changed!"
"No-"
Three trucks started to drive up ahead leaving the five behind. "If you follow those three, I will blow up these ones remaining. Since you got it right, you should know that more lives depend on you. You can choose victory or at least save these ones. Choice is yours!"
"Arrrrrgggggh!" Henry flung out his earpiece when the familiar ringing sound echoed in his ear at the same time one of the SUVs decided to pursue the fleeing trucks.
"No! Stand dow-!"
One of the stopped trucks suddenly sped up right at the SUV crashing into it, causing it to violently turn around, and now slammed into once more from the back with another loud crashing sound!
Bang!
"Oh shit!" The driver in Henry's car shouted.
While the truck had come to a stop with a bad dent on its Bonnet, the SUV was yet to come to a stop from the impact and it had left the agents in front conscious with the driver's head resting on the horn.
Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep!
"Move!" Henry shouted with his eyes on the SUV that was pushed and now moving in their direction.
The driver changed gears to reverse out of the way but everything had happened in a matter of seconds and in a blink of an eye, it crashed into their car with a loud bang!
It pushed Henry's team's car backwards into the side of the road with a loud screech until the kissing cars came to a stop.
Between the badly dented bonnets with smoke oozing out and shattered windscreen, Henry's now messy haired head could be seen leaning against the dashboard with blood dripping from his head.....
He blinked, finding himself unable to move from his position. Everything felt hazy. His body felt heavy, unable to move a muscle.
He took in the crash and hot tears mixed with blood rolled down the side of his face onto the dashboard. One beautiful and smiling face vividly flashed in his mind and his heart hurt as he failed to fight the darkness he was slowly succumbing to.....
"Victoria..."
