She was fast enough to see the guard pointing the gun at her as she quickly ducked and rolled backwards taking cover behind the metal door.

The guard shot sporadically having realized that he missed his first shot giving the other guards clue of where the gun duel ensued.

They rushed in with their guns leading the way and immediately took positions.

They waited for several minutes anticipating an attack but there was none. Their prying eyes saw a shadowy figure moving very fast and they all cocked their guns in-readiness to pull the trigger.

They failed in their attempt to aim at the figure as the dark shadow’s speed was at an alarming rate. They maintained their positions but were fully alerted to any slight sound.

Alexandra was now in the Governor’s large sitting room. She hid herself behind a couch and quickly unzipped her knapsack. She hurriedly brought out a hand full of shurikens (throwing stars) and stood up. The throwing star was a flat star shaped piece of metal which had sharp edges and could easily pierce through. She moved with a flashing speed and climbed the stairs to the second floor flying over five stairs at a time.

One of the guards saw the shadowy figure climbing the stairs rapidly and he immediately signalled to his colleagues as they ran after her shooting sporadically.

Alexandra kept on running, she dodged the shots by whiskers, keeping her head low as she ran. In no time, she finished climbing the stairs and a hallway came into view.

There were several rooms in the hallway. Twelve on each row, which got her confused on which one is the room leading to the Governor’s room. She halted in her tracks as she felt the heat of a bullet whizzed past her left ear. She immediately spun around and saw the guard who had shot the gun, running towards her accompanied with other guards numbering up to twenty.
She closed her eyes and positioned the throwing stars in her hand. She splintered it to the guards who were almost pulling the trigger and they all fell down with the throwing star on their forehead. It was a perfect timing even with her eyes closed.

Governor Martin stirred on the bed, his body hitting a soft fleshy part of a human. A gunshot sounded and his eyes opened immediately, but to his surprise the room was pitch black. He rolled the blanket away and sat upright on the bed wondering why the light was off. Then, his mind drifted to the gunshot he heard.

‘Am I under attack? Or the guards are playing pranks with their guns?’ he thought aloud as different questions bombarded his mind. Fear gripped his heart but he quickly dismissed it.

He chose to believe the latter but then, another question popped up in his mind. ‘Why would they play pranks?’

He became more worried as he could not provide a suitable answer to the questions. He stood up and pushed the girl he had just finished sleeping with and walked to the table where he had earlier dropped his two phones. He picked his ipad and pulled a call across to the head security guard.

The phone rang at the other end and then, beeped as the call was not answered.

He frowned and dialed the number again.

After some minutes, the phone beeped and the call ended. It was unanswered.

The frown on his face doubled and he dropped the ipad with frustration.

The head security guard always picks his call at the first ring, but now his calls weren’t answered which only meant one thing.

They are under attack, that answered the question of why he heard a gunshot.

But by who?

He paced the room with fear boldly written on his face.

“Your Excellency”, the feminine voice made him stop in his tracks.

He turned around and saw her walking closer.

She was stack unclad and her erected nip*le led the way. She stopped right in front of him and laid her hands on his bare chest, rubbing it.

“Why did you switch off the light?”, she asked still rubbing his chest.

“I didn’t”, he replied less interested.

“But you look worried, what happened?”, she asked now holding his cheek.

“Hey kayle, just leave me alone”, he snapped and pushed her gently away.

Kayle was a celebrity stripper who he met hours ago in a club. They both got hooked up and he brought her to his residential villa not to do any other thing but to get her laid. He walked back to the bed and took a pair of trousers from the closet. He wore it hurriedly and fasten his belt.

The door suddenly flung open and a shadow walked in. Kayle screamed but her screams were cut short as a throwing star landed on her forehead.

“Hello Governor”, a feminine voice said.
