Chapter 343: Rain Of Bullets III

Spider had been right. Outside was a picture of bloody massacre, with dead bodies everywhere the human eye can possibly perch on.

Athena’s eyes scanned the corpses, searching for the prisoners’ bodies and then her friends. Susan had confirmed a minute ago that Connor and Morgan had been safe from all the shooting.

"They are over here!" a gruff voice, a wave of hand in the distance, caught Athena’s attention. She recognized the bulky man as one of those who had been with them earlier in the room before the shootout, one of those who had led the culprits out of the room. She was immensely glad he was alive.

Quickly, she covered the distance between them, the others following suit. She gasped when she saw the state of her two friends. Shawn was bleeding from his side. Eric, from his thigh and leg. They both were in critical conditions.

"Better vans will be arriving soon. They would convey them to the hospital..." As the man spoke, the first two vans arrived. And without words, the other men got to work, lifting the two agents first, whom Athena had whispered to hang in there.

"Don’t dare give up on me... or else I will beat you up..."

Eric managed to chuckle before he was taken away.

Then there was Fiona, who looked as dead; who had been hit by a stray bullet just close to her chest. Athena had little hope of her surviving but still made the men promise her that the latter would be taken care of properly.

Dax wasn’t as lucky. He was cold by the time Athena touched his neck to feel his pulse, seeming to have received a shot to his heart and another to his stomach. She folded her lips before moving to Heron, thinking that Dax had really escaped easily.

Heron was just in a critical condition like Fiona.
