Chapter Fifty

Alex's POV

Andrew went out with some of the soldiers and I clenched my hand into a fist.

They are shaking again.

Everything is just so messed up.

Jasmine moved closer to me and held my hand.

"Everything will be fine, don't get worked up sweetheart." She said and I chuckled.

"Sweetheart?" I asked raising my brows.

"What?" She asked with a shrug and Andrew and Megan suddenly came in.

"We'll address that later" I whispered and she smiled.

"Heard you need my help" Megan said.

"Yeah, his blood pressure is dropping though we managed to stabilize it with adrenaline but I don't think that is going to last." I explained.

"Do you have Ephedrine injection?" She asked.

"Here" Andrew said as she gave it to her and she quickly administered it.

"You can continue the surgery and I'll just continue monitoring the vitals and administering any necessary injections." She said and I nodded.

We continued the surgery and we were able to removed the rest of the bullets.

We stiched and closed up the necessary parts and the surgery was done.

"Megan please will you do the favour of checking on him frequently?" I asked.

"Sure" she replied and I muttered a thanks.

"You are very lucky that our leader survived the surgery." The man who seemed to be second in command of the Taliban forces said. 

"You are welcome." I said and he scoffed.

"How long before he wakes up?" He asked.

"He should be awake in within the next 24 hours" I replied.

Ryan's POV

I finally managed to move to where Susan knelt on the ground.

"What's going on? Why were you brought back here? Did you succeed in killing the Taliban leader?" I asked all at once.

"No, I didn't succeed, I am sure the sugery will be successful" she replied.

"What! How are you so useless that you can never successfully perform any task I give you?" I said angrily and she looked at me surprised.

"Are you talking to me like that? Are you calling me useless?" She asked.

"No no, that's not what I meant, I... I was just angry and you know how I say things that I don't mean when I am angry." I said and she sighed.

Moments later, Alex, Megan, Andrew and Jasmine walked in accompanied by some soldiers.

"What was all that Susan?" Alex yelled as he walked towards Susan.

"I've been working with you for almost a year now and I thought you were smart, how could you make such a stupid mistake and be so sluggish!" He yelled.

"I... I... I am sorry Doctor" Susan stuttered and I sighed.

I shouldn't interfere.

"Because of your stupid mistake, we almost lost a patient, what the hell was wrong with you? Have you lost your common sense?" He yelled again and Susan just kept still, looking scared.

"Come on puppy, don't you think you are barking too much?" I asked looking at Alex.

"Stay the hell out of this asshole, this is between me and my anaesthesiologist." He said and I chuckled.

"Yeah right, just don't stop barking by my side, it's uncomfortable and next time you want to borrow my anaesthesiologist, you'll have to take permission first." I said.

"You know what, I have no strength to waste on responding to your bickerings, and you Susan" he said as he turned to face Susan. "Stay away from my operation room from now on and come back when you've regained your senses." He said and walked to the other side of the room.

Captain Amir's POV

"Where is Mr President?" The General asked the the Chief of staff.

"He's currently on a call with London's Prime Minister assuring him that the medical team he sent are safe and would be rescued soon so please tell me you have a plan in motion to rescue them." The Chief of staff said.

"We are thinking of barging in with full force but we will need more men and ammunitions." 

"Take whatever you need, do whatever you can, just make sure they are rescued." The chief of staff said.

Prime Minister's POV

My phone ranged again and I picked up the call.

"Why are you calling me James?" I asked.

🗨️ "Did you see the News?" He asked agitated.

"Of course I saw the news."

🗨️ "Then why are you so calm when the medical team you sent to Afghanistan is in danger and my son could be killed at any moment?" He yelled.

"Careful of your tone Mr James Wilson, we might have been past acquaintance but I am the Prime Minister now and you must accord me that respect." I warned sternly and he was silent for some moments.

🗨️ "I'm sorry Mr Prime Minister" he said and I sighed.

"I just got off a call with the President of Afghanistan, he assured me everyone is save and they'll be rescued soon." I explained.

🗨️ "Please tell them to be fast with the rescue, nothing must happen to my son" he said and I scoffed.

"Why are you suddenly worried about your son, you sent him to that war zone yourself, no one forced you."

🗨️ "You know I only did that to aid in our mission to kill Alexander Sanchez."

"Yes and I think you are loosing focus right now, don't you think we can use the current situation to our advantage?" I asked.

🗨️ "I don't understand" he said and I sighed.

"Come to my office, I'll explain better." I said and ended the call and then called my personal assistant into my office.

"I have an unofficial request for you, I need you to find a way for me to contact the leader of the Taliban army" I said.

"Okay Sir" he said.
