9.
AT THE HOTEL:
Adrian's men had to drive Bella's car and get the weapons inside from the back of the hotel. Adrian was well connected in San Francisco. The hotel owner was Adrian's business partner plus his legal advisor.
Bella wasn't back yet, but she had made sure to inform her members about someone coming in with the weapons they need to their rooms.
Joshua, Anne, Frank, Micky, and Dmitri were all a bit worried, because Bella wasn't back at the time she said she would be. Not that anyone would be able to even touch her, but after all she was just a human like others and that came with limitations.
There was a knock on the door and Dmitri was the one who went to the door. Rest of them had their guns ready and loaded. Dmitri first peeked through the peep hole and saw two men holding two bags each in hands and looking around.
There was a knock second time and this time he opened the door.
"Hello, how may I help you?" He asked not revealing too much.
"Black Rose?" One of the two asked and Dmitri nodded after giving it a two second thought.
"Adrian Westwood sent us. Can we step in? We can't be seen by anyone." Said the other man and Dmitri looked inside to his members who were behind the and all nodded.
The two guys came in, placed the bags on the table and opened them. One of them stood up and turned to Dmitri.
"We were told to deliver these. Please check if anything's missing. We just changed the bags, nothing was left out. To be safe, the bag is in as well." He said and Joshua and Micky checked the bags of weapons and nodded at Dmitri.
"Cool. Everything's here. Thanks for your hardwork." Dmitri said shaking hands.
"Hardwork??" Said the other and scoffed.
"This isn't work. Hardwork is what we will do after we go back. That Black Rose isn't a human. God knows who that person is. 50 men injured and sent to hospital. What's horrifying is, none of the alarms went off nor caught on camera when and how that person got into the penthouse office of our boss." Said the same man again and Bella's friends smiled.
"Well, our friend isn't the one to be blamed. Just that our friend is more capable and talented. Nothing else. But sorry for your men. If there's anyway we can compensate, please let us know." Micky told them and both of the men shook heads.
"Compensate?? No.. Your friend will save our Boss' life, that's the compensation for us. We don't need anything else. Also, if, your friend is lucky and comes out alive of the place that he's gona go." Said the men and then left.
"What did he mean?" Joshua asked Micky who was dumbfounded as others.
"Keep calling Bella. Somebody get me her location. NOW!!" Dmitri whisper yelled.
"D, relax, we all know her." Joshua tried to calm him down.
"They weren't lying. So the place itself is death. One wrong move and all die. You, keep trying her number." Dmitriy told his colleagues.
But then there was another knock at the door. Dmitri got the door himself, but before he or anyone could react, all of them were shot in the head by someone..
Adrian's men who had just reached downstairs heard the gunshots being fired. The whole hotel was in chaos and people started running in all directions to save their own lives.
"What do we do??" Asked one of the men.
"What do you mean what do we do? Let's go. Come." Said the other and they all ran upstairs back only to find the door open and all five of them dead.
"What's shocking is, all the weapons are gone, also the computers and other stuff is gone. All dead." Said of the men and looked at the other who was checking if anyone was still in hiding.
"All clear. But by the looks, it seems no one got a chance to react. Or else how dare someone even get close to them? Do you think we exposed them? Or were we followed by someone over here?" Asked the other man scratching his head.
"Forget all, call Adrian. Now!! I will call the police." Said the men who earlier checked if anyone was still alive.
"Okay." The other one replied and went on to call Adrian, but the police came in just then.
"Hi, Mr. Edwards. We're Mr. Westwood's men. Good, I was just about to call you. We were here for some work. These are our friends from LA. We just met them and left not even 20 minutes ago. And when we were downstairs, we heard gunshots. We rushed up as soon as we could, but they were already dead. All of their things are missing." The man explained everything to the Chief who had arrived there.
"Thanks alot. That was really helpful. Anything to confirm their identity?" Mr. Edwards asked and the man hesitated before answering.
"Their identity is special and can't be revealed to anyone. I'm sorry." The man replied and Mr. Edwards nodded.
"Boss is on call." The other man replied and he passed the call to the police chief.
"Hello, Mr. Westwood. M sorry for your friends. Your men here have helped us a lot. But we don't know yet about the ones who did this, so once we have some clues, I will get back to you for sure." Mr. Edwards told Adrian.
"Mr. Edwards, their identity is special. They were very close to me. I need the people who did this caught as soon as possible. If I step in, you know it's going to more bloody." Adrian warned the police chief.
"I know. I will try my best." The chief replied and Adrian hung up.
