Chapter Fifty-Two

Alex's POV

"Ryan!" Susan yelled as Ryan fell to the ground.

The bullet had hit his leg and it was bleeding profusely.

"The next time you speak out of turn, it will be your heart." The leader said and one of his men wheeled him out of the room.

I stood up to go help Ryan but Emma held my hand.

"He doesn't deserve your help" she said.

"Neither do you deserve my obedience, not until you've tell me everything you know." I said as I jerked off her hand and went where Ryan was yelling in pain and Susan was holding him.

I made to touch his leg but he jerked my hand off.

"What are you trying to do? Are you here to mock me?" He asked and I scoffed.

"That is something you will do Ryan I am not a total asshole like you" I said as I examined the gunshot area.

"I can't remove the bullet cause the necessary equipment aren't here."

"I know puppy, I am a doctor remember, so just put some pressure on the damn wound to stop the bleeding." Ryan said and I scoffed again.

"The only thing stopping me from pressing this gunshot area and causing you unimaginable pain right now is the oath I took as a doctor."

I looked around for something to tie the wound with and I noticed Susan wearing a jacket on top of a gown.

"Can you lend me your jacket Susan?" I asked and she quickly removed her jacket and gave me.

"Please nothing should happen to him please." She cried and I looked at her surprised.

"Were you acquainted with Ryan before?" I asked.

"Umm... I.... We..... I don't...." She stuttered.

"You do know each other" I said and she kept quiet.

"We'll definitely talk about this some other time." I said as I tied her jacket around Ryan's bleeding leg and he yelled in pain and I chuckled.

"I'm gonna enjoy seeing you endure this pain till the Afghanistan soldiers comes to rescue us, that's if they ever come." I said with a smile and left them to where I was sitting before.

"Are you okay?" Jasmine asked.

"Of course, at least something good happened today" I said.

"You are happy Ryan got shot?" She asked.

"Should I have been sad?" I asked and she chuckled.

"But even though you don't like him, you still went and helped him, I am proud of you" she said and I smiled.

"Thanks sweetheart" I said and she laughed.

"Sweetheart?" She asked raising brows.

"Don't look at me like that, you started it" I said and she nodded.

"About what just happened... Why does the Prime Minister wants to kill you? I actually thought you were close" Jasmine said.

"I don't know what to think and I don't know what and what not to believe so I've decided to forget about it for now. I'll definitely get everything sorted out when we go back to London."

"How sure are you that we'll be able to go back to London when we are not even sure if we will get out of this place alive" Jasmine said.

"We will, trust me" I said and she nodded.

Moments later, one of the soldiers came in with a carton of burgers and started sharing it.

"We can't have you guys starve to death when you are our life insurance against the Afghanistan soldiers" he said.

Captain Amir's POV

"I just got off a call from the the leader of the Taliban forces, he threatened to kill all of the hostages if we attempt on rescuing them, he wants us to remain still until he calls us again to negotiate for their release" the General said.

"So what are we going to do?" I asked.

"There's nothing we can do Amir, nothing but to wait for them to call again." He replied and I looked at him surprised.

"So you are really going to negotiate with those bunch of hooligans when you well know that they are definitely going to request for something outrageous?"

"What choice do I have, there's no nothing I can do, I have no other option" he said.

"Then let me go" I said.

"What?"

"There's an emergency exit door at the back of the camp and only I have the key, give me some few well trained soldiers and I'll infiltrate the camp and bring them back safely."

"It's going to be a big risk Amir" he said.

"My life has been full of nothing but risk General" I said and he nodded.

"Start getting ready then, I'll deploy 8 of our best soldiers along with you" he said and I saluted him.

Prime Minister's POV

I sat in my office with James Wilson thinking of what to do next.

"Your plan didn't work" James said. "The Taliban leader refused to kill Alexander Sanchez, so what next?"

"Nothing James, there is absolutely nothing I can do anymore, the news of our medical teams being held captives by the Taliban forces have gone round. There are many calls of complaint and petition coming into my office requesting for me to bring them back, my hands are tied. If they are rescued by the Afghanistan soldiers I'll have no choice but to get them back to London immediately." I said and James looked at me wide-eyed.

"You must be joking, you said it yourself, Alex already suspects you and if he really comes back to London..."

"It will make no difference" I said interrupting him. "Whether he's in Afghanistan or London makes no difference cause I am going to kill him anyway." I said and he sighed.

"You should leave now, I have a doctor's appointment in 10 minutes" I said.

"Doctor's appointment? Are you sick?"

"That's none of your business James, leave." I said and he shrugged as he stood up.

"Well I was just concerned" he said and walked out of the office.
