Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

Chapter 419: The Enemy Moved



Jared’s car was bulletproof, ensuring their safety. Tina and Jared crouched by the side of the car, looking for a chance to dash out. But Elsa and Heath had no cover and could only hide behind another car. That car was riddled with bullet holes and wouldn’t hold up for long. Jennie cried anxiously inside the locked car, unable to get out.

“Elsa! Tina!” Hugo shouted through a half-open window. “Tina, what’s happening? Why are there gunshots?”

Tina pushed Hugo’s head back inside. “Stay in!”

Jared scanned the surroundings. They had come to attend a birthday banquet and had no weapons on them. Now, with the enemy hidden, they needed to leave quickly.

“Tina, get in the car and drive out.”

The only protection they had was Jared’s car, and everyone needed to get in if they wanted to leave safely. But Elsa and Heath were a bit far away, making it difficult to rescue them. Besides, how could they fit two more people in the car?

Gunshots continued as the car Elsa and Heath hid behind started leaking fuel and would soon explode. Tina glanced at the situation inside the car.

“Dad, let Bobby crouch under the front passenger seat. You hold Mom and sit further inside, quickly!” Hugo complied immediately. Luckily, Zackary was small enough to crawl through the middle gap.

Once he was settled, Tina quickly opened the door and got into the driver’s seat. Jared followed closely behind, holding Zackary protectively.

Tina honked twice. Elsa looked up and drew a circle in the air with her finger, indicating the route for Tina to take.

Tina started the car and circled around in the direction of the bullets, using the vehicle to shield against the barrage of gunfire. Elsa and Heath deftly dodged the remaining bullets.

They reached a spot where Hugo forgot to open the door in his panic. Elsa jumped through the window, opened the door from inside, pulled Heath in, and quickly shut it again.

In the rearview mirror, Tina saw several men in black emerge from hiding with grenades in hand.

“Hold on tight!” Tina shouted as she turned the steering wheel sharply, reversing direction.

She floored the gas pedal, heading straight for the men in black. The grenades landed where they had just been, exploding harmlessly behind them as Tina sped away.

The men hadn’t expected her to turn back; they scattered in panic as Tina swerved towards each one of them individually.

One by one, they were hit by the speeding car, some even flipping through the air before crashing heavily onto the ground.

“Ah!” Zackary screamed as he saw someone land on top of the car, burying his face into Jared’s chest in fear.

“Tina, drift left,” Jared instructed while shielding Zackary’s head as he spotted one man trying to escape to their left.

The narrow alley prevented further driving. Tina blocked off that exit with the car. Jared jumped out with Zackary still in his arms, covering his eyes.

The man raised his gun at Jared but was quickly overpowered by Jared’s serpentine movements and knocked out with a single punch.

Silence returned. Tina got out of the car too and threw off a half-conscious man lying on top of it before using silver needles to immobilize him and others similarly.

Hugo and Jennie clung to each other, trembling uncontrollably; they had never experienced anything like this before. Elsa remained calm and helped Heath treat a bullet wound on his arm.

Tina knocked on the window. “Come down and help.”

Heath and Elsa exchanged glances before stepping out to help Tina and Jared tie up their captives. Jared called Hayden for assistance.

Hayden rushed over upon hearing what happened. “Wow! Fast & Furious style! Serena, are you okay?”

Tina rolled her eyes at him. “I’m fine. Take these guys away but leave the car.”

“Got it,” Hayden replied but then realized something was wrong. “Wait, if I leave the car, how do I go?”

“Carry them,” Jared kicked him lightly. Hayden sighed but called for backup while eyeing Elsa curiously; she seemed much calmer than everyone else who looked terrified.

Soon enough, Hayden’s team arrived and cleaned up the scene efficiently before leaving with their prisoners.

Jared handed out some water bottles. “Dad, Mom, have some water; I’ll take you home.”

Hugo shakily took a bottle and opened it for Jennie who weakly waved it away; she still felt dizzy. Tina gave them each a calming pill; they’d need psychological counseling later to prevent lasting trauma from this incident.

“Dad, take Mom and Bobby into Uncle’s car; he’ll drive you home,” Tina said softly.

Hugo finally stood up on unsteady legs but looked worriedly at Tina. “What about you? What if there are more of them?”

“I’ll be right behind you with them,” Tina pointed at Elsa and Heath.

Hugo glanced at them with complicated emotions; even an idiot could tell their skills weren’t ordinary after what they’d just done under fire.

Jennie sensed something unusual about her daughter too but didn’t dwell on it; she tugged Hugo’s sleeve gently. “Let’s get in.”

Jared looked at Tina who nodded reassuringly before he escorted Hugo’s family home safely.

After they left, Tina got into Hayden’s abandoned car and honked twice again for Elsa and Heath who slowly walked over and got inside without speaking initially until Elsa broke silence hesitantly after some moments passed by quietly between them all seated together within enclosed space moving forward steadily along road ahead…

Tina stopped at an intersection staring intently through rearview mirror reflecting clear eyes back upon both occupants seated behind…

“So today’s attackers were targeting you?”
