"Listen up guys!" Nathan spoke up.

Everyone in the camp was present and wondering what's going on. Nathan has never spoken to them personally.

It's either an instructor did, or the person in charge of the camp. Not even the Senior took their time to do this.

Nathan continued, "the base will be under attack tonight. We're not getting anything from this fight, so don't stress too much muscles.

They are planning on sneaking attack, so we prepare ours as well. Those of you who aren't trainees, guards, or good with the use of armories; Leave with Aroma to her quarter, behind her lab.

This isn't a fight where you risk your life, because the people coming are not worth it. Let's catch fun and show off our bullets."

All of them giggled and Nathan smiled. They didn't even show fear or look worried.

"None of you should remain within the living rooms premises. Costumes will be delivered in the afternoon to blend with the grass. No training today, so everyone get ready. Understood?"

"Yes sir!" They all said in unison.

Without wasting time; Aroma, the cooks, Madonna, waiters and other employees who aren't in the camp for training, headed towards Aroma's lab to seek shelter in her quarter over there. It's where she stayed when she needs to work on her invention for a long while and had to stay away from public views.

While those who are at the camp were excited and couldn't wait for the enemies to come. Those who have important stuff in their rooms shipped it along with those leaving for Aroma's quarter.

Just like Nathan said; what's more important is their lives. Every other thing can be replaced, but once a life is lost; it's forever.

This same information was passed on to all their organization bases. They aren't sure how many of their base will be attacked, so he made sure everyone prepared.

.....

Back at Shane's residence.

15 black SUV, with the word 'GAS' (Government Agent Squad) appeared. Well built men, and gallant women stepped down from the car, putting on a bullet proof vest, with the word 'GAS' written both at the front and back of it.

They showed their badge to the security. The dude didn't know what to do. He needed order before letting anyone in. Stella is in there and Shane wouldn't appreciate just anyone coming to his home and approach his wife.

If he opened the gate; he will be killed. But looking at these people, he's not sure about the choice to make.

After much contemplating, while the agents gladly awaited for his decision, "I'm sorry, but I can't let you in." he said and wanted to turn away to alert those who were at the underground base to come take care of them, but his mouth went agape as a silent pistol was pulled out and shot at him.

The person who shot him has taken off his vest. Without the vest; the attack isn't under the government's name.

…..

Inside the room.

The two guards heard footsteps and thought the others were back. They aren't sure what to do about Stella that kept her eyes open since all this while.

She hasn't blinked since then. They started worrying about her getting hurt under their watch, but still couldn't dare touch her.

They suspected something seems off when they heard the sounds of doors opening and closing.

They quickly hid behind the door, took a defensive stance and got their weapons at alert.

The agents finally got to the door and opened it. They saw blood on the floor and the figure of a woman on the bed from a far.

The entire place seem awfully silence, as Shane's boys held their breath, since they were well skilled in those aspects.

The agents aren't fool either. They closed the door like they have nothing to do there. Based on their research, Stella wouldn't be left alone like that.

The two guards looked at each other, immediately the door closed. But before they could understand what was happening; they heard a single beep and 'bam!' the door shattered, while they quickly flew away to shield themselves from the mini explosive.

The agents charged in immediately, while the two guards quickly got on their feet. Their gun has escaped from their grasp, which left them defenseless, except their fighting skills, which of course, is useless against so many men.

But they refused to back down. Both picked up an aluminum stand, scattered around due to Diana and Shane's scrimmage.

They took a defensive stance and moved backwards till they got to where Stella was. They wouldn't allow anyone near her. It's an order and they will die before they allowed anyone laid their hands on her.

They were stained with the blood on the floor, as they fell on it when they evade the explosion.

4 of the agents stepped forward and smirk at their stupidity, leaving their bullet proof behind. With that, it's not government fight.

Quick as lighting; they clench their fist with their smirk still lingering and charged forward.

It was a 2 against 1 fight, as they didn't want to underestimate their enemy. And also, they are not here to get killed, but to support each other, make a rescue, a capture if Shane was present and leave the scene.

Just as they assumed; the two guards are incredibly fast and good, unlike their normal and fragile appearance.

During all this, Stella didn't blink. She remained the same. It didn't take long before a shot was fired at the two guards.

The agents fighting them look at the direction the shot came from, while Shane's boys dropped dead.

"You guys are wasting time. We have who we came for right there." The shooter said and pointed at Stella on the bed, "and moreover, they finally moved." He added.

He was referring to the fact that they finally moved from Stella's bed. Leaving a chance to shoot them and not accidentally hit Stella.

"Miss, are you okay?" A female agent walked up to Stella and asked.

She looked back at her colleagues and they all understand that she's probably affected by whatever happened, causing so much blood in the room.

One of them picked her up and they headed out of the room. Stella didn't even realize her body was being transported. She blinked her eyes twice and left it ajar once more.

...

Back at Ethan and Diana's side.

Seeing a doctor finally came out and not nurses; Ethan made his way to him. "How is she now?"

"Rest assured. The surgery went well, but due to the blood lost, we will need to wait for a few days before performing a second surgery.

For now, she will wake up after the sedation wears off." The doctor informed.

"She's out of danger?" Ethan asked.

"Yes she is. But her body can't handle another surgery for now." He replied.

"I will like to take her away, is that alright?" He asked.

"Absolutely! as long as she wasn't stressed during the transfer." He replied.

"Thank you." Ethan replied, while his cell phone rang. "Can I see her now?" he asked.

"You can. After she was transferred to a ward, I will instruct a nurse to guide you towards it." After explaining and got thanked once again; the doctor left and Ethan picked his call.

"Sir, we are almost there."

"Good!" He replied.
