I will skin you alive

Clara moved closer to her and placed her shoe on her stomach, just as she removed her leg and plan to kick her a loud noise was heard outside that shook the whole place. The noise was so loud that stop them and made them look outside , Susan used the moment to moved to a corner despite the pain she is feeling . Clara signal one of the guys to check outside .

As he moved to open the door he was sent back by the rain of bullet, he staggered back with blood coming out of his stomach and chest , he collapsed on the floor and died instantly .

The rest of them open their eyes wide and mouth agape , before they know what is happening fire was open which made them to run for cover. By the time the shooting stopped two more people are on the floor.

Clara was trembling, so was the rest of the goons when they crawl out if their hidden place. Clara has totally forgot the other person they came together not until the latter hold her arm in fright did she remember her.

As they are still looking around looking for escape route, those that are outside finally came in looking like a grim reapers. Jerry and the rest of his tea. of body guard came in . The bodyguards rushed to apprehend those that want to escape while Jerry look everywhere for his wife. His heart nearly jump out of his chest when he find her at a corner looked all battered with a face swollen like a pig.

Clara in the other hand nearly pee I. her pants, she knows the end is finally here for her. She clearly recollect the word her backer said to her before this whole plan started. " If you are caught you are on your own, I will provide everything you need and you must fulfill your own part as well. If you mention my name even if he ( Jerry ) did not do anything to you...I ....WILL....SKIN....YOU.....ALIVE." She knows all the evidence will point to her since the latter just give him money to execute her plan.

She closed her eyes to take a deep breath to calm herself down. She knows either way she is going down. She looks into her life and not to be sentimental with herself, she finally believes she brought this unto herself , if not for her selfishness and striving to take what she can not possess maybe just maybe this will not have happened.

' Will I go down alone ? No! I will take many with me? ' She made up her mind before turning to look at the other lady. ( Sophia! Yes Sophia was the other lady I. mask ) Sophia on the other hand tremble the more in fear.

She back away to the extreme end , when she noticed no one was looking she slip out through small opening at the back. She ran for her dear life. " Thank God I did not open my mask, else I would have give myself away. That bitch should die for all I care. "

She removed the mask, throw it to the floor and kept running for her dear life. Little did she know that someone was following her. He picked up the mask she dropped with a stick and put it into a plastic bag.

Back in the abandoned house, Jerry looked at Clara with so much hatred with death aura surrounding him. He wanted to kill her and the rest that instant but he needed to suppress his blood thirst because Susan need an immediate medical attention. He signal the bodyguard to take all of them away, he will deal with all of them later . He will take a life for an eye, especially for his live ones.

Susan smile at him and gently place a kiss on his hand, she was happy she still had someone that is so worried about her. She looked at him with so much love, she did not blame him for not rescuing her in time before she lost her consciousness.

Jerry also smile back at her, he was murmuring sorry time to time but she just looked at him with love not blaming him at all. He look glooming when he was her loss her consciousness. He quickly hop into the driver seat and drive away.

------------------------

He was pacing up and down in the hallway of the hospital while Peter and the other doctors were attending to her. He looked at his watch it is nearly three hours now , he wonder what took them so long. After waiting for like forever she was wheeled out of the operation theatre to VVIP ward.

" She was totally battered this time around around and I hope you have the culprit arrested? " said Peter " Yes, they are all in the base."

"OK then! ". " How is she?"

" As you can see, she was beaten almost to death but thank God you went there in time. Four of her right side ribs are broken..... " He made a deliberate pause trying to look at his best friend before he continue. " The fracture in her head is a little bit open than before but...." " can you just get to the point o you want me to force you to talk?" Jerry said a bit irritated at his for I end for not saying everything he needed to hear at a go.

" Calm down dude and listen OK? As I was saying her fracture has been stitch this time around since it is a bit more than before but we have to observe her to see if she will have brain swelling but now no blood clot and swelling also she is suffering from pneumothorax ( punctured of lungs ) one of her broken ribs punctured her ribs. The excess air has being drained and she is now out of danger. We just need to observe her ..."

" How long will it take for her to recover?" " Between four to eight weeks for the lungs to heal and her ribs to heal itself. I will see you both later got to check on my other patient." Peter pat him on the shoulder and quickly excuse himself when he saw the dangerous aura emitting from him, he knows without anyone telling him that the demon is awake ready to devour. He quickly fasten his steps so as bit to be the scapegoat.
