Tangle episode 46

Roseline was frightened when she heard gunshots outside, she thought this was her one and only chance to escape since her abductors were preoccupied. She started working her tooth on the rope which bound her hands and she succeeded in freeing them. She freed her legs too and started making her away toward the door but suddenly, she heard someone banging the door hard.
Roseline thought on what's next to do, she searched the area and found a small door. She yanked it open but what she saw stunned her. A Rottweiler dog which she had disturbed by opening the door, barked at her angrily. She moved backward but the dog jumped out of its house and attempted to launch attack on her.

Roseline screamed as she saw the dog charged toward her, she closed her eyes giving in to her fate but suddenly she heard the front door open and a gunshot very close to her. She opened her eyes to found the dog lying dead before her, she shifted her gaze to the door and saw Uncle Jeffery standing there with a gun.
'Uncle Jeffery' she called.
'Oh my Rose, am sorry I put you in this trouble' Jeff said.
'They said you are dead Uncle' she replied
'No I didn't, I stayed alive for you'
---The war going on outside can be heard by any deaf man. The sound of the Israeli made assault weapon Travor TAR 21 took the air as the agents raid the house killing the bad guys.
'Let’s get out of here, it isn't safe in here' Jeffery said as he laid the little girl on his shoulder while he headed out of the room.
The air outside has been tainted by the heavy smoke from an explosion in a nearby apartment. Jeffery proceeded on his journey to a safe haven, still armed with his pistol. Suddenly a hoodlum ran out and came face to face with Jeffery. Jeffery pulled the trigger of his weapon to fire him but oops, he ran out of bullet. The hoodlum thinking he just got lucky raised his AK 47 rifle at Jeff and his kid but before he could fire, he was shot at the back by Helen.
'That's the second time I saved your life boy' Helen said.
'Thank you so much' Jeff appreciated.
'Am happy you got her out safely, now let's get her to the truck out there'
Helen said as she escorted them.

The Chairman with his best guys paraded the whole jungle waiting for Jack but they were met with heavy gun fire from the security agents. Chairman and his remaining three guards retreated into their vehicle and tried to run off. In other to prevent them from getting away, Kenneth ordered the car shot down and his agents shot two of the car's tyre. The car swerved into the forest and then tumbled twice before it was engulfed finally with fire.
When the Agents got to the car, they found out that Chairman and his accomplices had been burnt to ashes. Kenneth wasn't happy about what happened, they had wanted to get the chairman alive but all they got was burned body. He picked up his phone to give his superior the new information.
'Hello ma, am sorry the Chairman is dead' he said
'What the hell happened? You were asked to get him alive' Helen yelled on phone.
'He was trying to get away, we were left with no choice than to shot him down' Kenneth replied.
'Damn it agent Kenneth, you have made a mess of this operation. Get all the evidence you can acquire, I will meet you at the office' the call ended.
'What a bullshit' Helen cursed.
'It’s quite a pity that he died but believe me, he will do much good in being dead than him being alive' Jeffery said.
'You asked me why I joined the agency, I joined because of him. He ruined my life while I was a kid'
'What? Do you know him personally?' Jeff inquired
'I grew up at an orphanage where I long for someone to come adopt me. He came and took me away from the shit hole but to a miserable live. I was the same age as your niece then, he smuggled his drugs through my stomach' she opened her tummy to show the big scar to Jeffery with tears in her eyes.
'Am sorry Helen, I never knew you went through such thing' Jeffery said, giving her a hug in consolation.
They quickly broke apart when they realized that her whole team was gazing at them. They had finished raiding the place and only a few suspects were arrested while the others died in the attack.
'I have to get back to the office, you can go back home now' she said before she joined her team as they drove back to their headquarter.
