BLACK OUT

"I promise you ,you will regret it if you don't let me in".

Just then Daniel walked into the reception ,he saw me arguing with the secretary.

"What's happening val?"

"I had a bad revelation yesterday".

"What! Is it about me?"he replied nervously.

"No!The new boss,and I have to warn him but she won't let me in".

Daniel looked speechless, then the secretary signed.

"Fine ,you I'll go in but if I lose my job I will never forgive you".

"Thanks"I replied and walked in.

He looked pissed seeing me, his brows arched tightly, yet he never lost his attractive look even when pissed.

“Who let you in? And under whose order?"

He snapped.

"Sir I..”.

Suddenly my eyes went to the personal bodyguard standing by the door.

The bodyguard looked familiar,he is the one behind it,the masked man that shot him ,how am I supposed to tell him this in his presence!

"What is wrong with you?...Miss Kate!!"

He called for the secretary.

"Sir Please can we talk in private"I pleaded.

"I can't believe the clowns I have in this company,Miss Kate!!"

He pressed his telephone and called her in.

Kate came into the office apologizing.

"What's the meaning of this? Is this office a joke to you?"he fired at her.

Kate gave me the look.I was sweating heavily, realizing I couldn’t do anything about it,I started crying.

This happened before but my late parents never listened, they said It was just a dream. Then sixteen year old me doubted,cried and begged them, explaining how scary it was to me. 

They kissed my cheek, consoled me and went away, only to die in a plane crash when all they could do was listen and cancel their flight!

I stood by the door with my arms wide open.

"You are not going anywhere until you listen to me!”

I yelled out bravely.

Confused and embarrassed,he stared at me for some time.

"Can you take care of this"

He told his bodyguard.

Who bowed in response then dragged me out of the office.

Daniel was there to rescue me or else I would literally injure my body when he pushed me violently to the floor.

Other colleagues started mumbling and gossiping about the recent development.

"Listen hey Val listen you've done your best"

Daniel was consoling me.

"No you won't understand,the sight was horrible,and not to talk of this is a matter of life and death,I can't just give up. Daniel,it will surely happen".

"Then it's his fate,just let it go,he won't listen"Dan replied.

"It's not his fate if I can change it,I will feel like I am responsible because I saw it coming and did nothing".

I walked towards the garage,I quickly called the police,with our company line. They couldn't ignore it because it’s a VIP line. I quickly explained to them about a suspected assassination plan and they promised to be at the scene.

I found the booth of the car he will be using opened slightly, I checked to see if anyone's watching then I sneaked into it.

After a few minutes, the car started moving,I prayed to make a difference after the whole drama.

Finally we got to the airport,his sister was the exact girl I saw, wearing the exact dress.

I was lucky ,they put her baggage into her private car, not the boss's car booth.

Returning back, we got to a checkpoint,I got a flash back,after this scene the next will be the assassination.

I quickly tried my best to fake cry out loud.

"It’s okay, let them check the booth”.

I heard the boss’s voice instructing one of his men.

They opened the booth.

Shocked and alerted, the police alarmed the two others to come and see what he found.

I was carried out,I pretended to be weak and just recovering my consciousness, my plan was to delay whatever was going to happen and create an obstruction.

Boss was speechless when he saw me,and even worse, I was even crying telling the policemen that I was being kidnapped by him.

He must be regretting his life choice of ever employing a Mad woman as a worker.

The bodyguard was the one most offended,he knew I was wasting their time,for the assassination plan.I tried as much as possible to delay them.

I started telling the ever ending story of how I was gasping for air,and I told them that the boss CEO F&F isn't aware that his personal guard was the Mastermind behind my kidnapping.

"You are a liar!”the bodyguard screamed back.

"Shut up!!"

The policeman shouted at the bodyguard.

"Sir ,I am sorry but you have to follow us to the police station too"he said calmly to the boss.

"But.. she's my employee....emm what's your name again what's the meaning of this.?."

He sounded so confused and fierce but before I had a chance to reply, a shot from nowhere killed the police questioning us,then another one hit the other two police men,it was so realistic like a dream.

I screamed and found a cover for my dear life.

Boss’s sister screamed loudly in her car, another shot was fired inside the car ,her driver was killed , scared, she ran out of the car,towards her brother.

We are both hiding at the back of the car,his brother was shielding the sister with his back and his personal bodyguard was pretending to be protecting him.

Suddenly there was another gunshot, luckily ,the police van arrived. 

The others had to escape,the police car chased after them, then the bodyguard decided to use the chaos as an opportunity to show his true identity and finish the job.

He pointed the gun at the boss, whose expression says it all, disappointed and betrayed.

I had no idea what I was thinking but I was fast enough to push the boss down,and also his sister fell down beside him, a sound of gunshot flew through my ear.

I fell on top of him,both hands pressed hard against his chest,his eyes met with mine but they were not fierce anymore, they don’t scare me either, inste they were widen filled with fear and then there's tear drop from one of them, he was staring into my eyes like a scared child.

 Who could believe the cold blooded man could be as scared as a child but why do I feel dizzy ,my right arm hurts.

“Are… are you okay?”

He asked, breathing heavily.

For the first time, he sounded like a human being with feelings, not just a robot with no emotion. I wanted to reply but I couldn’t, I felt so weak and lightheaded then I blacked out.
