Trap

*** 5 hours before Bianca was shot***

 "Are you sure he's the one?"  asked James who was currently watching the person sitting across his desk.

 "Yes, I've looked into it. We must act immediately, he probably knows all about that person."  Alexander answered him with full confidence.

 "What do you think?"  James turned to his side.  Looking at his friend who was smoking a cigarette in his hand casually.  His face looked calm, but James was sure, if inside Xavier's heart was turbulent, he would not immediately pounce on his prey.

 "Then what's your plan, Alex?"  Xavier asked calmly, but the look in his eyes was sharp as if they could make the person he was talking to easily split open.

 "We must follow him, Sir,"  Alexander answered with his head slightly lowered.

 "Why should?"  Xavier asked, raising one of his eyebrows.

 "Because opportunity doesn't come twice, and I'm sure, if in the future that person finds out we're looking into it,"  replied Alexander.

 Xavier chuckled, he stubbed out his cigarette butt and took a sip of the glass of Red Wine in front of him.  He reclined on the sofa and looked at Alexander with a commendable look.

 "I like your way of thinking,"  Xavier said.

 Alexander smiled slightly in response to Xavier's words.  Meanwhile, James was still observing the situation.  Somehow he felt that something was not right here.  But James chose to remain silent without telling Xavier what was on his mind.

 They sat there for almost an hour.  The eyes of the three of them can not be separated from a man who looks eccentric.  His long hair was tied neatly on his head.  His nose is pierced, and he has a tattoo next to his left eye.  The man sat flanked by two sexy women.

 "He's moving,"  said Alexander.

 James who saw this looked at the two people in front of him.  "Come on," he said to follow the man.

 Xavier nodded, he immediately stood up and followed James out of this bar.  Halfway through, he parted ways with Alexander who he said would pick up another of Xavier's subordinates.

 "Don't you find it strange?"  James asked.  He who had been holding back this curiosity finally spilled it to his friend.

 "What?"  asked Xavier nonchalantly.

 "I don't know, I feel like this is too easy,"  mumbled James.

 "I don't care if it's easy or even difficult. Most importantly I was able to catch him and force him to take me to their boss. I'm still wondering who was behind all this. That guy hid perfectly."  Xavier spoke at length, but James ignored him.

 They walked a little further from the man he was stalking.  Seeing the person getting into the car, Xavier and James quickly got into their car and started following the person.

 "Where's Alex?"  James asked.

 "Soon will follow, he brought some people,"  Xavier replied.

 James just nodded his head, keeping his eyes on the car in front of him.  The longer they followed the car, the quieter the road became.  They came out of the city limits, even along the way there was only a very dark forest.

 The car in front of them entered the path between two tall pine trees.  Xavier slowed his car, giving a little distance between the cars.  Until his eyes caught a dwelling in this forest, the car in front of him came in as soon as the gate was opened.

 "Where's Alex? What took so long," James complained a little worriedly.  They were alone and were in enemy territory.

 "He's coming," Xavier muttered as he watched the car speeding behind him.

 James and Xavier got out, toward Alexander's car.

 "Where are the others?"  James asked sharply Alexander who only brought 3 people with him.

 "Sorry, the others are in the mansion, Sir. If I pick them up, it will take a long time,"  replied Alexander.

 "You can call Noah, he'll come right away without you having to pick him up."  James raised his voice, clearly annoyed by Alexander's reckless behavior.

 "Come on, come on."  Xavier did not blame it, he instead invited everyone to scatter.

 Xavier with one of his men to the east side.  James and Alexander to the south side.  While the other four subordinates scattered to the north and west.  They are looking for an opening to get in.

 When Xavier was walking sneakily, he accidentally met one of the guards of the mansion.  The guard immediately shouted, so his friends came out.  They fired their guns at Xavier and his men.

 It turned out that gunshots were heard throughout the mansion, many guards immediately came out and found several intruders.

 In the position of James and Alexander.  The two of them looked overwhelmed from facing five people at once.  James and Alexander ran until they finally reached their car.  Without thinking, Alexander invited James to enter and leave.

 "You are crazy!"  James called to Alexander.  "Xavier is still there, we can't escape!"  shouted James.

 "We must call for help, Sir,"  replied Alexander.

 The car in which they were traveling sped down the road that James had passed.  Seeing Alexander's calm demeanor made James a little suspicious.  James suddenly looked back when he saw two SUVs chasing them.

 "Shit, we're being followed, quick Alex."  James felt a little panicked by the current situation.  But he felt angry, instead of speeding, Alexander stopped his car on the side of the road.

 "Are you crazy? Why did you stop?"  shouted James frantically.

 Seeing Alexander who suddenly pointed a gun at him, James realized everything.  He became very angry, but because he was in a pinch, he immediately got out of the car and ran into the forest.  He occasionally looked back, and many people were chasing him.

 Feeling nervous, James accidentally tripped by a tree root.  He ended up falling, his aching legs unable to make him walk.  James with all his might limped crawling away from the few people in front of him.

 "You can't run anymore, James."  Alexander walked over with a sinister smile on his face.  The man revealed the mask that had been covering his face.

 "Bastard, you turned out to be a traitor. I'll tell Xavier about this!" shouted James.

 Alexander who heard that chuckled, he took out a gun and shot James in the leg.

 Dor...

 "You won't be able to tell Xavier this. Because you'll be dead."

 Right after saying that, Alexander and the people who were there shot James with bullets.  After seeing James helpless, they immediately left from there.  Leaving James dying.

 In Xavier's current position.  Xavier was on the highway.  Who knows where the rest of his men are, right now he is alone, surrounded by several big people.  His right arm ached from being hit by a bullet.  Even though he was in a pinch, he didn't feel afraid of the current situation.

 One of them stepped forward, awarding a fist that nearly hit Xavier.  Luckily Xavier quickly dodged.  But he was desperate at this time, the people behind him saw Xavier's movements.  He immediately punched Xavier in the face as soon as Xavier dodged backward.

 The gun in Xavier's hand was thrown.  His body staggered to the side.  But not until Xavier held him back, another fist came from his right side.

 Xavier was outnumbered.  He couldn't do anything when several people started to rush forward and beat him.

 Brak...

 Amid his fading consciousness, he could see Noah coming with some of his men.  They fought each other for strength until Noah finally ended it with one shot at the enemy's forehead.

 "Are you okay?"  asked Noah, helping Xavier to his feet.

 "Yeah, I'm fine. Find James and Alexander around here."

 Xavier's men who had come with Noah immediately dispersed, but they were in groups.  While Xavier got into the car assisted by Noah.  Noah helped tie Xavier's arm so he wouldn't bleed too much.

 "We must go, Xavier. Your wound must be treated immediately."  Noah said.

 "In a moment, we'll wait for the others."

 Finally after almost 15 minutes, Xavier's men returned.  But they only found Alexander passed out with a battered face.  Noah invites them back because circumstances do not allow them to infiltrate again.  Eventually, they left without James.

 "Whose car is that?"  Noah muttered, which was heard by Xavier who closed his eyes.

 "Stop."  Xavier said. 

 Finally, they all got out, checking the car in front of them.  But they didn't find anything, just as they decided to leave, Noah heard a voice calling for help.

 "Did you hear that? Looks like it's coming from over there," Noah said, pointing into the woods.  "We have to check it out,"  he added.

 Xavier nodded, he walked with Noah deeper into the forest.  On that moonlit night, his eyes widened when he saw someone he knew lying helplessly with a lot of blood on his chest.

 Seeing a woman running to escape, Xavier reflexively pulled out his gun and shot the woman.  Xavier's gaze was very sharp, in his heart, there was burning anger that saw the events before his eyes.
