179. Khouk Injured

"Is he dead?" ask Khouk. He came closer, to look down.

"It's good if you're not dead. I can torture him again!" sahut Ana cold. He turned around and walked towards the stairs to the fourth floor.

"The second floor was engulfed in flames. We have to find a way to get out!" Khouk caught up with Ana who just nodded.

"We're looking for files that we can use as evidence of their crimes!" said Ana.

Both of them descended to the fourth floor which became the bureau chief's office. Ana and Khouk checked the drawers and retrieved some files. The building is burning. So there is no electricity that can be used to check files on the office desktop. Khouk brought the cpu at the end of the secretary's desk. Ana took the files she read at a glance quite important.

"Leader, how are things up there?" gan's voice sounded.

"We're doing fine. How's it downstairs?Is anyone coming out from downstairs?" ask Ana.

"There was. They are too weak to fight. So we're tied up and secure!" sahut Gan's.

"How many people survived?" ask Ana again.

"Eleven people!" reply Gan.

""Be careful with their cunning!" message Ana.

"Yes!'

Ana checked the other room that became the bureau's vice-leader room. He got enough files and a laptop that he couldn't hide.

"Khouk, are you done?" yelled Anna into the first room.

"Just a second! There are still some to take as well." Khouk's voice came from the third room. Ana went there.

"This is a cctv room!" exclaim Ana.

"Yes! By taking some footage, we can find out what happened in this office" Khouk said, taking off the cpu.

"Isn't that heavy?" ask Ana.

"Yes. But it's worth it!" Khouk.

"Are we going down from here or from the third floor?" ask Khouk.

"There's too much smoke. We're gonna have to get out of here!" reply Ana.

"Fortunately we have a protective suit and a special mask. Otherwise, we'll faint in the middle of the smoke!" comment Khouk.

"Thank you to Ammo for providing this equipment!"

Ana opened the glass window and looked down. "High roll," he murmured. Khouk gave him a rope. Deftly the two tied the rope to the foot of the heavy carved table in the room.

The rope was thrown through the window down. Gan and some clan members were already ready to wait down there. The rope was tied to the tree trunk, where Ana had climbed. Khouk put the two cpus he took into the carton box. He was preparing to launch the thing down.

"It's heavy! Be careful!" he screamed from above.

"Yes!" the man who waited below.

"The box slid first and landed safely.

"Now you have to go down first, Leader," said Khouk.

"Ana won't argue. So he nodded and immediately slipped the laptop he had taken into the leather jacket he was wearing. He was ready to jump down.

"Quick! The fire was already starting to be seen from the third floor window!" yelled Gan worried.

Ana jumped and glided quickly. Hot air ambushed him as he passed through the third floor window. He landed safely. Ana quickly turned to Khouk.

Khouk was already standing on the lip of the window and preparing to jump down, as a powerful explosion shook the building and spewed flames and dense smoke all over the windows whose glass was blown out.

The people below immediately scattered, avoiding the flying glass fragments.

"The shouk! Khouk!" yelled Ana hysterically. He revolted as Gan pulled him away from that dangerous place.

From behind the car that became a refuge, Ana is still trying to escape from the checks of Gan and a member of another clan. He wants to find Khouk.

"Now it is still very dangerous. We don't know how many bombs they have in this building!" forbidden Gan his eyes to look at Ana sharply.

"If it's you there, I'll run to save you too!" snorted Ana angry.

"I know you like that, Leader. We are proud of your attitude like this. But we are dedicated to you. It is a pride to serve and protect you. We never want you to risk your life for us!" clear Gan at length.

An explosion was heard. This time the explosion. Everyone is now taking shelter in an anti-gun car.

Ana's eyes glazed over. His gaze was fixed towards the tree covered in dense smoke and licks of fire. Most of the leaves of the tree had been scorched because they were hit by too hot air.

Half an hour later.

The explosion subsided, but the fire had reached the roof of the building. "i have to check there!" Ana insisted.

Gan didn't hold it back either. Together with some people, they combed the place, looking for Khouk's whereabouts.

"The shouk!"

"The shouk!" some people shouted, calling.

There were faint complaints near the tree. "The shouk is here!" exclaim someone.

Ana ran to that place. The rope still wrapped around the man's body. On his body are wounds. Some broken glass is still attached. He still had time to take shelter behind the tree. But it seemed that he had to accept the consequences of the first devastating explosion.

"He's hurt bad. Bring her!' said Ana.

"Ammo, Khouk is seriously injured!" said Ana.

"Sawyer's gonna pick her up. You gotta go with her!" ammo said quickly.

Clan members do first aid. The glass fragments did not stick in a fatal place. But maybe Khouk hit a tree or crashed into the ground. It seems that's what's causing him pain. They pulled out the broken glass on their backs, then wrapped their bodies in cloth.

They're waiting for Sawyer to arrive. "You have to bring them all back. And those who secured it, take it to the place where Ammo says it is. You better hide there until the situation cools down" Ana orders.

"But my job is to protect you, Leader." Gan returned to protest.

Ana looked at him sharply. "Khouk's hurt. Only you can replace him leading these people. While I'm safe with Khouk. Can you follow my orders without interrupting?" ask Ana.

Gan. "Okay, Leader," he said reluctantly.

"I trust you to keep them all safe in that hideout. Can you accept this assignment?" ask Ana again.

"Can!" sahut Gan fast.

The helicopter sounds. Not long seen the usual heli brought Sawyer. The iron bird landed in the front yard of the collapsed building. Khouk was quickly put in and Ana followed him.

"You're leaving right after I'm gone!" message Ana.

"Good!" sahut them. Everyone enters their cars and prepares to leave from there.

Sawyer took the helicopter flying. Ana watches over Khouk who is tied firmly to the gurney. He's unconscious at the moment.
